Priceless

The day starts early. Still packing to do. things to finish massaging into place before heading off to Florida to visit the House of the Mouse.

We breeze thru security at the airport and the late take off arrives only 10 minutes late in Orlando. The bus drops us at the front door of the Polynesian Resort and we're here.

Kyle loves his first plane ride. Running commentary on take off. "There's a house. Hello house!" "I see cars. They're getting smaller." "It's a map." And, about 20 minutes in to the trip "It's a good thing there is not a a bon on the wing." That one is a long story. Check out Nightmare at 20,000 Feet and know that Kyle refers to the creature on the wing as 'bon' and you'll probably figure it out. No problem flying for him.

I'm off to pick up a rental car. Everyone else hits the pool and explores the hotel grounds. You can see Cinderella's Castle, Space Mountain, and the Contemporary Resort as well as the Floridian. Beautiful beaches surround the place. There really is some magic here.

I wonder what Walt would really think about this place.

The event of the evening is the 'Spirit of Aloha' Luau. It's is good entertainment. The food is good. The weather is nice. And it's a good way to celebrtate Stacie's birthday. But things are not cheap.

Dinner with the family at a Disney resort with all the souvenirs and extras: about $350.

The image of one five year old falling asleep in his mother's arms in the middle of the show because he can't hold his eyes open any more: Priceless.
