The kids had the whole week off of school for Thanksgiving. On Monday we were lucky enough to hook up with some friends from PA at the worlds largest McDonald's. I figured that since we were in "tourist Orlando" anyway, that we should do some other things in the area. I discovered that there is a path between Fort Wilderness Lodge on Disney property, to the campground on Disney property. The internet said that it was about a mile and then you could take the boat back. Sounded like a good way to kill a little time. We drove up to the lodge and the kids really wanted to go in the lodge and look around. After looking around a bit, we walked around outside and found a beach on the lake. You can't go in the lake, but the kids loved playing in the sand.
We also saw a geyser go off on the property. That was pretty cool.
After the beach, playing ping pong, and getting caught in a rainstorm, we decided to go find the big gingerbread house. I had heard that the Grand Floridian hotel on property had a huge gingerbread house. So, we hopped on a bus, which took us around the entire campground (yes, it was the wrong bus), then took a boat to the Magic Kingdom. Once there, we took the monorail to the hotel. The kids couldn't get over how fancy the hotel was.
After checking out the gingerbread house and trying gingerbread (only Henry and William liked it), we headed back to the Magic Kingdom via monorail. If it wasn't so late we could have walked, but we were tired and hungry. Then it was back to the Lodge and home. It was a great day.
