My brother and his family was going to meet up with us today. Seth, Becky and I woke up about 8am. My brothers plane was supposed to leave Columbus Ohio at 6am, so I thought they would be there about 9:30. Well, we got ready and waited and no phone call. I called my sister-in-laws cell phone and left a message that we would be at MK and to call us. We boarded the bus about 10am and went to MK. I was so excited. I tried to hide it being the Dad I had an image to keep up.LOL. The only way I can describe entering MK is like instantly going into a fantasy world. The Christmas decorations were great. The atmosphere is terrific. We walked up Main St. My son was on my scooter with me and we got busted by a security guard that told me not to let him ride with me. I said ok and waited until we went around a corner and my son got back on with me. :D :D One thing I had stressed was I don't want to spend my entire day in Fantasy land. My wife got fast passes for Buzz lightyear, and the Pooh ride. We had some time so we thought we would take in a show. It was about 11am and my brother still had not called me. I was getting a little worried. My little boy looks at me so innocent and says. "Maybe the plane crashed". I thought OH NO!!!! I get on the phone and start calling my SNL phone again. No answer. Well, about 1/2 hour later my brother finally calls. Thank God!!! He says they had just landed. One flight was cancelled and then they had a big layover in Atlanta. He said they would meet us about 12:30 in front of the castle. Seth, Becky and I watched a Christmas show at Galaxy Palace Theatre. It was really good. It was time for the fast passes for my son and wife and also time to meet my brother. I went to meet them and told my wife we would find her. On the way to meet my brother my head was cold. I decided to buy me a Goofy hat. You know the big one with the ears that hang down. Okay folks picture this. A very tall man on a red ECV with a goofy hat. No wonder I got a lot of stares. My brother walked right past me and had no idea who I was. I turned around and honked my horn at him. He thought I looked Goofy. We met my wife and son back at the pooh ride and then it was time to explore!!!! We went to the Hall of Presidents. It was nice. We walked around for a while and then it was time for the Very Merry Christmas parade. It was fantastic. I thought my son was going to have a Heart attack when he saw the Toy Story Float. He was screaming and jumping up and down. When the Gingerbread men walked by you could actually smell the ginger. It was so GREAT!!!! We took a ride on the boat that goes around Tom Swayers Island. It was ok, kinda boring for me. My son actually got to help drive the boat with the captain. That was really nice. After that we walked around a little more and it was time for dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern. All I can say about this is WONDERFUL!!! The food was so good. Everybody was finished and I was still putting away the food. UMMM UMMM. Next- time for the Electirc Parade. I can't say enough great things about this parade, it was super! After the parade we watched tink fly from the castle. My son is afraid of Fireworks so we took off for the gates to beat the crowd. My brother parked at GF so we saidour goodbyes for the day and Seth, Becky and I got on the first bus back to All Star Movies. Believe it or not I still had my hat on. We watched a little tv in our room and then went to sleep. Day #5 was MGM
 
I can't believe you could smell the gingerbread. That is so neat. :) Disney thinks of everything, don't they?

It's funny that your brother didn't even recognize you. :D

Thanks for sharing your trip with us. :)
