Epicot, Feb. 15, 2003, and Lil' Frankie the Fire Work Starter.

While sister Chickie stuck our Dad with running the show up in NY and in 16 inches of snow and bitter cold,  we held court at the Rose & Crown restaurant which is the only dinning on the lake at Epicot.  I told bro-in-law Frank to book around 7 pm because the IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth fire works start around 9pm and (as anyone knows) there are never to miss and rare are those who get to dine and watch at the same time. 
To our surprise a waitress comes over to my nephew Frankie and informs him that Mickey Mouse always starts the fire works with a wave of his magic wand.  But Mickey told her that he needs Lil' Frankie to do it.  And so he did........


Nancy, Mark, Cathy, Joe, Chickie
Rita May, Julia, Frankie and Frank


We met the gang at Space Mt.


Frankie had a Pirate outfit.


We ended up at Mickey Chef's at the Contemporary Restort.

No idea what this is all about.....


but everyone was doing it.


Dale, remember Dale?


Rita May picking Minnie's pocket.


Julia conned us into going on Alien Encounter. Cathy and I kept our eyes closed the entire time.


That bubble above Mark's head is exactly what he thought of Alien Encounter.
