Live webcam broadcast of Fort Wilderness decorations

We had a couple abrupt endings!  The first one happened when Elphie stepped on the keyboard and stopped the broadcast; the second one came when the laptop battery died.  Still, we got to see some good decorations, talked with people who set them up, rescued a couple and got them to their bus, saw the new sleigh ride, the Minnie Mouse cart, and made people happy when they realized they were on a live video broadcast!

Part II: Fort Wilderness decorations - loop 700

Tomorrow we go to Epcot and, amongst other things, have dinner in China at the Nine Dragons (dinner menu) with a friend of John's from high school.  They twice had a roller skating competition where, as they freely admit, "We sucked. People came to see us fall down and make idiots out of ourselves. It was a lot of fun."

So the rest of tonight is just hanging out.

I'm really glad we had a day of just being here at the resort.  It was nice to relax, decorate, and enjoy Fort Wilderness.  We've already been down the canal path to see the castle twice, once during the day and once at night.

And we learned something today: the Electric Water parade, which can be seen at Fort Wilderness, is in the Guiness book of records for the longest running parade in history.  It's simple, it's corny, and we like it.  We thought of watching Holiday Wishes fireworks and then the water parade from the beach here, but we'll do it another night.

  1. I love that dumb water parade.

    And I LOVE your webcam broadcasts! A little bit of Disney while I'm in my drab little cube is perfect!!

    It's currently 30 degrees in Cherry Hill.
