After the DVC presentation, they took us out on the roof so we could enjoy the view.   After we got our fill of exploring the Bay Lake Towers, we spent the rest of the day at the Magic Kingdom. The last time I was in Orlando, I didn't get to see the Presidents so I was pretty excited about seeing it now! I've always loved watching the Mark Twain...  Time for dinner! And then a little more castle watching before we leave.

I've been to Mount Dora before and really love it there because of all the old buildings. Looks like a neat place to have some coffee! Naturally, I fell head over heals in love with this house. We decided to give our feet a rest and have some dinner while we waited for it to get dark. We went into a pub for a quick d...
