Downtown Disney & Dead Throne



I was still pumped up from the first show and the whole weekend and couldn't wait to get on our way to Downtown Disney and meet up with James again. 



My silk scarf made it's first appearance today!




We walked all over and decided to eat dinner at Planet Hollywood.


 It was fun to see Forrest Gump's shrimp boat, Jenny docked right next door!
We had just watched it last week, for the zillionth time.



Inside we saw Judy Garland's Wizard of Oz Dress!
The Terminator
and props from Dr. Doolittle and hundreds of other movies.  It was fantastic!


James had a silhouette cut of Bill and I together.  They do them one person at a time.

  This is a tradition that goes way back in our family, almost a hundred years.  My grandmother and grandfather, my mother and her siblings, myself and my sisters, my children, grandchildren. My sisters' children and grands...It's a rite of passage.    I have actually  had three cut.  By myself at about age 10, with two of my sisters around age 40 and now with the Mr.in our 60's. James couldn't have given us anything nicer.

The completed silhouette took a bit longer than expected so it was then it was a mad dash to the show.

Such an interesting post. Amazing that Dorothy's dress has been preserved and on public display. A great idea. And love the beautiful lighting round James as he plays.

How cool! The many artifacts at Disney are displayed well, the entertainment great and the silhouette of the couple that is :) is the real coup de grâceof your visit - the look of the long time couple in silhouette is wonderful. A tradition that shall continue!

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one ...

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

Image
When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside ...
