Dad’s Day at Disney

Andy and I started out Father's Day at Magic Kingdom.

We went on the newly refurbished mine train roller coaster (not sure what's new about it but it felt a bit smoother), then waited 10 minutes for Tiana's water ride. We also went on Haunted Mansion with no wait, about 30 minutes on Snow White's roller coaster and 40 minutes for Tron. This queue at Tiana's is usually full of people. Where is everyone?

We saw Pinocchio and Geppetto. Not sure I've seen them in the parks before.

We went back to the resort and hopped in the pool but it started raining ... really hard ... and we weren't sure when it would let up so we went back to our room to watch the U.S. Open.

Allison went to the house to feed the cats and to pull in a delivery for Andy from the front porch. Turns out it was his Father's Day present from the Seattle kids - a hot sauce making kit. Guess we'll be making hot sauce soon.

We dropped off L's beloved bear at her apartment on our way to dinner so he got a Father's Day hug.

We went to Celebration Brewery. We asked L and W to go with us but W wasn't feeling well and had to work early Monday.

Andy got a cigar for being one of the first 100 dads to be there.

Even with most of the TVs tuned into the World Cup soccer matches, Andy was happy to see one showing the end of the U.S. Open. after dinner we drove around Celebration. Such a cute community. From google: Celebration, Florida, is a master-planned community near Walt Disney World, developed by the Walt Disney Company as a nostalgic vision of a classic American town with a modern twist. It features a charming, walkable Town Center with shops, restaurants, and cafes, surrounded by residential areas with parks, trails, and community events like farmers' markets and parades. The community is known for its picturesque architecture, tree-lined streets, and a strong sense of community, with amenities like pools, playgrounds, and a hospital.
