Arghhhhh & "Cheerio"

Our second day was quite fun with our change of plans. The day opened up a new adventure at the Magic Kingdom. As if the Pirate Ride wasn't enough, we found out that Captain Jack shows up a couple times a day to provide sword fighting tutorials for selected crew members. Being a big pirate fan family, we were really excited at the prospect of seeing this event. Dawson was very excited. He loves the pirate sword fighting (I know as he has "stabbed" me a few times at home). We waited and talked to others waiting as well including a cast member who told us how awesome the actor was portraying "Jack". We positioned ourselves in front so that I could take full advantage of my camera creativity.

When he appeared after his sidekick set up the scene, I was amazed at how authentic and true to the character he was. As he began choosing his crew...his eyes found our little buckaneer and Dawson was chosen to participate in the tutorial. He looked scared to death but soon relaxed as Captain Jack addressed each one and gave each his special attention. Dawson did a great job following his directives in the "fight". Check out the pics following.

Our evening was spent at Epcot in England. We dined at the Rose & Crown and enjoyed the British Invasion (Beatle tribute band) and even got to chat with them after the show. We then watched the fireworks from yet a new vantage point and again, it all seemed different. The music is so beautiful and the words spoken as the show began spoke to why the Disney experience is so wonderful. He said: "Each of us is on our own adventure and when we all come together, our adventure becomes as one!".
