Wednesday, April 21 - Walt Disney World
We left the RV at Fort Wilderness RV/Campground at Disney World and went to Disney Animal Kingdom. For our African Relatives, the Africa section did bring back a lot of memories and we enjoyed seeing some reminders of Africa. The kids enjoyed the safari ride through the animal park, and it made me (Greg) want to go camping in Africa! I could not help telling the kids a few Africa camping stories while waiting for the safari. Our Animal Kingdom experience went down hill from there as the park was LOADED with people, and we could not find anywhere to sit when eating, the lines were at least 1 plus hours long, and the fast passes were either sold out or out up to 4 hours. Not what we expected mid week the end of April. After doing a few more things we decided to head back to the campground and take advantage of some of the things offered there.
We rode our bikes to the pool and water slide. After dinner the kids had fun roasting marshmallows over the campfire - (As I write this, Grant says "And you too dad!" and that would be true!). We also had fun singing camp songs with Chip and Dale. Then we settled in to watch some of the movie under the stars (Chip and Dale and then Snow White). We had to leave early to catch the firework show from the beach looking toward Magic Kingdom. Really cool because the beach was only about 3 minutes from the RV. We returned a little later to watch the barge light show before calling it a long day!
We are still being caught off guard occasionally by the RV world that we did not know about. The Disney campground is something like 700 acres! We talked to some people who actually stay there for several months.
TODAY WE START OUR 7th WEEK. I sometimes wonder if we are insane and just don't know it! Today was also very cool as we visited Wycliffe Bible Translators visitor center, and Campus Crusade's Jesus Film Project. We learned about the challenges of Bible translation, the blessings of the Word, and the many people still in need of the Bible in their own language. At the Jesus film, we learned about the massive impact that the movie has had. Grant even got to take a try at syncing his voice to Peter in the movie. We really enjoyed the stop (they are right next to each other), and then we headed toward Savannah for the night (Reaching Savannah the next day).
