Fireworks, Thunderstorms, and Final Thoughts Before Flying Back to Kansas City
After dinner and dessert at the Yachtsman Club restaurant, we made our way back to The Magic Kingdom because we have reserved seating for the fireworks show at Cinderella’s castle. The whole thing is themed as a dessert service but I doubt any of us are going to be able to eat anything else, though…

Dinner at the Yachtsman Club Restaurant in the Yacht and Beach Club Resort at Walt Disney World
Dinner tonight was at the Yachtsman Club restaurant in Orlando, Florida, on the Walt Disney World property (specifically, the Yacht and Beach Club resort).

I Bought 100 Shares of The Walt Disney Company as a Souvenir During My Visit to the Resort
After breakfast this morning at the Animal Kingdom lodge, we headed over to Downtown Disney. As we shopped for souvenirs before flying back to Kansas City tomorrow, I was in the enormous World of Disney store when I realized the best possible souvenir I could have would be ownership in the business. From the kitchen section, surrounded by Mickey Mouse spatulas and Minnie Mouse oven mitts, I took out my phone, remotely logged into one of my personal brokerage accounts, and purchased a small memento in the form of 100 shares of The Walt Disney Company at $33.04 per share.

Citricos Review at The Grand Floridian Resort in Walt Disney World
This has been the hardest day so far in terms of miles walked. It’s easily in the 10 to 15 miles range and possible even higher (part of this is purposeful: Just like running the beach earlier, I am trying to take the longest ways possible to burn off the huge portions at the nicer…

Giant Birdcages, Golf Shops, Polynesian Beaches, and Britney Spears

Here’s a little bit of what happened over the few hours during…

Italian Masks and Masquerade Costumes
One of my sisters likes to collect this sort of thing (unique masks and art) so I’m sending this out from the vacation so she can see it. Unless you have a particular affinity for this sort of thing, you probably won’t find this interesting but I think they’re fascinating. It’s a shame the tradition…
