DISNEY WORLD DAY 5

Another awesome day! The highlight was lunch with the Princesses inside Cinderella's Castle. Erin and I had goosebumps. Valerie got to meet Cinderella, Snow White, Jasmine, Sleeping Beauty and Belle. It was so cool! There were so many little princesses dressed up as their favorite Princess...including Valerie, who was dressed as Snow White.
This has been a wonderful vacation.
Was it expensive? Sure.
Was it tiring? You bet! :)
Was it worth it? Absoulutely.
So many of you gave us great advice: "Your daughter is going to be 3 just once. Enjoy every minute of it. They grow up so quickly."
We sure have enjoyed it.
Talk to you on Monday's show!

DISNEY WORLD DAY 4

Aloha from the Polynesian Resort! Another tremendous day.
Exhausting, but tremendous.
Today was Spring Training with my Atlanta Braves versus the Washington Nationals. Erin and Valerie were real troopers and let me enjoy the game. The Braves won 6-2. Plus, I was selected to play Braves Trivia between innings! A girl named Suzy Q interviewed me live on the P.A. system and asked me a tough question. Of course I got it right. I won a free parasail flight from Sammy Duvall's Watersports Centre! Oh well....I was kinda hoping for a Braves t-shirt.
Tonight was dinner with the Princesses at Epcot. Valerie met Belle, Ariel, Jasmine, Alice in Wonderland and Cinderella! How thrilling! Then it was the fabulous light and fireworks show around the World Showcase, Illuminations.
Friday it's the Magic Kingdom all morning, then lunch at Cinderella's Castle, then we're hitting the pool! Time for some R&R.
Catch up with you in a while.

DISNEY WORLD DAY 3

Another perfect day in paradise.
Really sunny, nice and hot.
I sure hope it warms up back home before we arrive. It's going to be a shock to our systems if it's still cold.
Today was a fun day. First of all, we all slept for 10 hours! What's more fun than that??
We had a great lunch with The Little Einsteins at Disney's Hollywood Studios, then did the Playhouse Disney Show featuring Mickey's Clubhouse, Handy Manny and The Little Einsteins. We're like so many of you moms and dads. We hardly watch the show...it's so great to just watch the expressions on the kids' faces! Priceless!
Then back to the Magic Kingdom to get photos with Mickey and Minnie, and ride more rides.
Tonight was a FABULOUS fireworks show above Cinderella's Castle. Absolutely amazing. If you and the family are coming this spring or summer, do not miss it!
Tomorrow is Spring Training with my beloved Atlanta Braves, then dinner with the Princesses at Epcot. I'll keep you posted.

DISNEY WORLD DAY 2

Another great day in Orlando...what else is new, right? Sunny and 84.
Busy day today...Breakfast with Winnie the Pooh at the Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom. Valerie got to meet Winnie, Tigger, Piglet and Eeyore. What a thrill.
Then lots of rides. Dumbo, Peter Pan, Snow White, It's a Small World, the Carousel, the Tea Cups...we did 'em all. So much fun.
The park is crowded...about a 20-30 minute wait for most rides. Thank goodness for Fast Pass!
We had a super dinner tonight at the Grand Floridian. I love that place. You really feel like you're far away from home.
Tomorrow is more fun. Lunch with The Little Einsteins! Valerie can't wait!
We hope you're keeping warm back home.

DISNEY WORLD DAY 1

Greetings from sunny Orlando! It's supposed to be a beautiful week...sunny and 85 every day. I love it! I'll try to bring the warm weather home with me.
We're staying at the Polynesian....really nice and great access to the parks with the monorail.
Lots of great deals here right now....they're really trying to deal with the economy.
Lots of people here, so it must be working.
We're looking forward to some great fun, including the Character Dining. You Moms and Dads know all about that! Breakfast with Winie the Pooh, Lunch with The Little Einsteins, Dinner with the Princesses, Lunch with Mickey...that's a busy schedule. But don't worry, I will be able to squeeze in a Braves' Spring Training Game.
Have a great day...I'll write more later.
