While visiting the Orlando area and our many MOC friends, we were told we had to see the last ever Osborne Family light show at Hollywood Studios.

Well, I do believe we have a Man in hiding??

Part of the fun is to try to find the Mickey Mouse heads tucked in here and there.

Santa flies!

If you get the timing right, with the correct angle, there is a Mickey Mouse in the center solider's head.

Purple, for you know who.

A bit of Sony Too panoramic fun (two photos stitched together).

A special thanks to friends Rich and Helen for taking us.

At Hollywood Studios there are many shows, lots of great fun. Our hosts Rich and Helen shared two of the best.

Lights, Motors, Action!  was great fun and interesting too, as they explained how some of the stunts were done (Hint:  going backwards is sometimes forward)

Well, look who made a short appearance.

I missed the photo, but, the finale' is a major explosion of fire and let me tell you, that fire was HOT.  We were sitting in the nose bleed section and we could feel the heat put off.

Next we saw the Ultimate Celebration of Classic Movies. Riding through scenes from old movies, thanks to Turner Classic Movies.  

This was one of my favorite captures

Can you name the movies??

Next for the evening, was the Osborne Holiday Light Show, coming to Relections on December 24th, just in time for Santa and the reindeer, let's light up the way, shall we?

Disney Resort Hopping, Free Gorgeous Fun: Rolling, Rolling, Keep Them Wheels a Rolling - Winter 2015-2016

While we were near Orlando with so many great MOC friends, we were introduced to "resort" hopping.  Free, resort hopping.  Our tour guides this evening were Julie and Jim.  They knew the ropes, and where to go and what to see.

The game plan is you ride around Disney on the free monorail and boats.  You get off at the resorts/hotels, gawk, look, take in the pretties, get back on the free rides and proceed to the next resort/hotel.  Brilliant.  Kudos to whomever thought this one up.  

First stop Wilderness Lodge.

Next, was the Contemporary Resort.  "Frozen", in sweet confections and gingerbread.

Next was the Polynesian Village:

The tree was topped with bird of paradise instead of angels or stars.

The decorations up close:

From the monorail station looking down:

The Grand Floridian, Victorian splendor.

And, another gingerbread house.

Tree decorations.

Thanks so much Julie and Jim for a festive free night.  What fun!

The Wonderful World of Disney, Part 4:: Rolling, Rolling, Keep Them Wheels a Rolling - Winter 2015-2016

After a short break to check on the fur baby, Rich, Helen, Man and I went back to Epcot for the evening.  

We started at Spaceship Earth.  My kind of ride.  Interesting, pure Disney.

We then, walked around Epcot's World Showcase, the holiday decorations were up, to be enjoyed by all.

We had dinner at  Restaurant Marrakesh.  It was special to Man and I as we lived in Morocco for 16 to 18 months. The hot mint tea and the meals took us back to memory lane.  And, there was a bit of entertainment.

After a very enjoyable meal we went looking for a place to view the fireworks.  We found one with a bit of added structural interest.  I loved it!

What a fun day.  My iPhone registered over 12,000 steps that day.  Wahooo!  Thanks again to Rich and Helen for a fun fun day.  What great MOC friends you are.
