"Wishes"

We had a long day so we thought that it would be nice to just sit outside our balcony and watch the fireworks from the Magic Kingdom. The rest of our party finally arrived around 8:30p.m. and since they had missed dinner with us they went down to the new restaurant (The Wave) in our hotel to eat. Concierge was wonderful with getting them in so quickly. They gave it 2 thumbs up. Maybe one day we can try to eat there also.

The t.v. had a channel that played the music from "Wishes" fireworks, so you could watch and hear the music from your room. Very cool!!!!

I hope that you enjoy these pics that I took. I had to mess around with the settings on my camera a bit and still some came out blurry. Since I didn't have a tripod I found that I could get decent pictures by setting the camera on the railing of the balcony. Also, I apologize for the fact that I couldn't keep my camera straight. The castle looks like it is leaning sometimes!!!! I will try better next trip. :)

The music score to this fireworks show is spectacular. Very moving and very emotional. I wish that we could have seen it from inside the Magic Kingdom, but we couldn't quite fit it in. We did see it many times from our balcony and Jeromy, Dad, Michelle, Ben, and I saw some of it while riding some rides during one of the evenings before heading out to Epcot.

Isn't the castle gorgeous at night? I loved seeing it all lit up in the many different colors. Supposedly they keep the castle lit up even into the early morning hours. I didn't stay up that late to see it.

Next up: Day 2.....Magic Kingdom
