Wednesday January 31st 2024

Today was still a multiple layer of clothing type day. It started out cool in the fifties and climbed to the low seventies. The high temperature was a little higher than Tuesday, but there was a stronger north wind. Once the sun dropped below the horizon the temperature dropped quickly.

I spent the first part of the day catching up on some sleep and doing chores around the RV. Late in the day, I headed across Bay Lake on the launch to the Magic Kingdom. My plan was to watch the Happily Ever After Fireworks from Main Street. Until that time I wandered around the crowded park and rode a couple of rides and took a few pictures.

The crowd on Main Street for the fireworks wasn’t the worst I’ve seen, but I rapidly remembered why I don’t like it as a viewing area. It has the best view, but people are shoulder to shoulder. There is now such thing as personal space. Tonight I had an elementary school age kid beside me that just couldn’t stand still. Most of the time he was running around his mother as fast as he could. She didn’t seem to care. My feet got stepped on more than once.

The show was great. There was still enough wind to clear the smoke quickly, but it wasn’t strong enough to stop Tinker Bell. As long as conditions are OK, Tinker Bell flies from the castle during the show. Watching her flight is one of the advantages of watching the show from the front of the castle and on Main Street.
