Golf and Downtown Disney

We jammed a lot of activity into our day today.

We started with a round of 9 holes of golf at Disney's Oak Trails course. It's a fun course. Challenging but not impossibly difficult. And so pretty. Very lush and green. I hit my ball in the water at one point and was in the process of fishing it out when I saw some movement a little further out in the water. Eeeek. It was an alligator! After that, we didn't go after the other couple of balls that went splash. They have four other "championship" courses at Disneyworld, but I don't think we're ready for the big leagues yet.

After golf, we came home to freshen up and give the doggies a potty break, then we were off again, this time to check out "Downtown Disney" which is a shopping, restaurant, entertainment area within the Disneyworld complex. Among the unique and fun stores there is a Lego store. It's amazing the things that can be built with just a few Legos...well, maybe more than a few....



They have a place at Downtown Disney called "Disney Quest" and the add-on/upgrade we put on park hopper passes for golf got us admission to Disney Quest as well. Too fun. It's full of all sorts of arcade games from old fashioned pinball to Pac Man to virtual reality. And no quarters necessary! We spent a couple of enjoyable hours there reliving our teen years.

Then it was back home to feed and walk the dogs before returning to Epcot in the evening so we could watch their fireworks show. Another Disney triumph, but for me, nothing could compare to the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom.

I don't even know how many miles we covered today. Between walking nine holes of golf, coming home to walk the dogs, exploring Downtown Disney, coming home to walk the dogs, and then spending a few hours at Epcot this evening, and walking the dogs when we got home just now, I am sooooooo tired I can barely type.

All this fun is hard work.
