Randman's World

A great time was had by all last week, as the Tennison family, along with our friends, the Genasci family, visited Walt Disney World (that's the one in Florida, for all you non-Disney people).

Our resort, the Saratoga Springs Resort, was beautiful. It's part of the Disney Vacation Club, which we bought into a couple of years ago. It's Disney's version of a timeshare, and it was amazing. Here's the view from our balcony.
And a couple of other shots taken around the property. It's is really a beautiful resort.



Despite a little rain, and some major heat and humidity, the trip was wonderful. The parks were not crowded, and we walked on to most every ride with very little wait. In fact, the Fastpass system was not even turned on for most rides, because of the short lines.

And most important, Charlie had a great time. I'm not sure he knew where he was at first, but soon, he became excited to revisit parts of his favorite parks.

Drew, Tyler and Charlie enjoyed their first trip to Disney World, and driving cars on the Tomorrowland Indy Speedway!


Charlie's favorite ride? Without a doubt, it was "It's A Small World". Daddy has sung that song to him since he came home (because it really fits with his story). So, he recognized the song, and was mesmerized by the animatronic children in the ride.


And, of course, Charlie got to meet more Disney characters. We had breakfast with Mickey, Goofy, Minnie, Chip and Dale at Chef Mickey's in the Contemporary Hotel.



But the real hit of the morning was Pluto. Charlie loved him, playing with his whiskers, and kissing his nose. More to come later!
