Run Fox Run

Thanks to Lynn & George, both Disney pros, we spent Spring Break in the happiest place on earth: the 7000-acre compound containing several parks, hotels, restaurants, and uncountably many shops and stores.  A magical place where books and movies come to life, and where a “cast member” can unironically utter the phrase, “Maps on the right, komodo dragon on the left.”  We had a fantastic time in the Animal and Magic Kingdoms, and exploring Epcot.  Leda was in Epcot when she was about a year and a half, when we were in town to celebrate her great grandparents’ 60th anniversary, and a lot of the grandeur was lost on her: the highlight of her visit was undoubtably the fountain in which she got soaking wet at the end of a long day strolling around the Lagoon of Nations.  Currently, she’s enchanted by princesses (although there’s still room in her heart for Baloo and Bernard & Bianca), and Cleo’s eager to do anything her big sister seems to enjoy.  They loved every moment of our week in Orlando, and we loved experiencing it with them.
