1st Day at Disney

It's 11:15 in the evening and we just got back from our first day at Disney. Jack is already asleep and the rest of are not very far behind. The day started with us leaving the lovely Clarion Hotel. Both Jack and Angie are complaining about bug bites which I think came from their beds there. Thankfully everything went uphill from there. We started the day at Epcot and found the Disney marathon was finishing there. There were 12,000 runners and it was very inspiring to watch. Angie claims that she will run this marathon some day, but I won't hold her to it. Below is some of the runners.
Angie's sister Sandy requested a picture of Angie and I so we have one below. Jack managed to get a shot of my scooter in the picture. It was a godsend.
We went on a few rides at Epcot with the highlights being Test Track and Soaring. After Epcot we checked in at our room at the All Star resort. The boys love the theme and the football field.
In the evening, we went to the Magic Kingdom, where they had extended hours for resort guests. We stayed until about 10:30. We were able to get in a few good rides with Jack and I daring to go on Space Mountain. There was also a spectacular fireworks show .
Both Gus and Jack are disappointed that they are not able to be back at school tomorrow, and hope that their classes don't miss them too much. I will wait until tomorrow for their best and worst, as both are near comatose. We are excited for Tuesday night as well as we arranged for some tickets to the Penguins/Lightning game in Tampa. Goodnight for now.
