  The Woody-wood pecker ride at Universal Studios.  Gwen of course had no clue who Woody-wood pecker was and called it the Wood chuck ride.  She enjoyed the ride despite her ignorance of the cartoon character.

 In Disney we stayed out the Polynesian Resort which is one the resorts on the monorail loop.  One of the restaurants is called Ohanas which has a nice view of the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom which you can see going off behind me.

 Morgan showing off Gwen's Harry Potter wand
 The wand is interactive.  If you stand in the right spot and wave it the right way sensors pick up the wand and something happens. For example the fountain would turn on if the wand was waved just right ...as if by magic.

 Our room at the Polynesian in Disney.  We had a balcony with a view.  I didn't pay for the view so I think we got upgrade or it was a mistake - either way I enjoyed it.

 Some young women sitting where Morgan should be - oh wait that is Morgan.
 The pool at the Polynesian has a water slide that goes thru a "volcano"
 Waiting for the luau.  We took Katie's sister's son, Dax. 
 It drizzled a couple days which actually worked in our favor as it kept the crowds down.  We shut the park down that night riding on Thunder Mountain more times then I can remember.  You may recall Thunder Mountain is the roller coaster running thru an old west mine.
