by Kevin Dion, director of Affirmation Orlando July 2004 Our May/June activity at the Magic Kingdom didn't exactly go as we planned but we had fun nonetheless. We gathered at my house for a great breakfast prepared by Daniel. Shawn had to leave us early as his son wasn't doing well. We got over to the park around 10:00 am and began the great search for Chris (this turned into an unsuccessful day long search which ended badly when we attacked Mickey thinking Chris was hiding from us inside the costume). Our group included Richard, Jeff, Reid, Daniel and my non-LDS friends Paul and Cesar. We made our way up Main Street and over to Tomorrowland where we did Space Mountain, the tram and the Grand Prix raceway. I wanted to go visit Mickey and Minnie's houses but no one went for that idea. We then made it over to Fantasyland where we did Mickey's Philharmagic and the newly renovated It's a Small World. By the time we passed the Haunted House the stomachs were grumbling and we enjoyed foot long hot dogs at Frontierland. We were now ready for the 3:00 pm parade and excitement was all around as the queens enjoyed watching all the princesses float by. The rain started and the lines for Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain were too long for us to wait. We headed back home for afternoon naps in anticipation of an evening at Pleasure Island. A few minutes after our dinner at Longhorn, the rain began to come down in buckets. We decided that Pleasure Island would not be fun in the rain so Richard, Reid, Cesar, Jeff and our two Affirmation visitors from out west headed to the Sheraton for the "Bear"dance. Except for the humidity, the search for Chris, and the late night rain, it ended up a good day. See also:  Adventures In Wonderland:
