Disney May 2014: Part One

After the Expedition Everest race, we took the next day off to recuperate and then spent 4 days in the parks. It was a lot of fun to wear our medals to the parks. I teased Christy that the only reason she wanted to run this race was so that people would tell her "good job" when they saw her medal...lol! I didn't take many pictures of the parks, but mostly of the food we ate so I could remember.

Wolfgang Puck for delicious sandwiches at Downtown Disney

One of our highlights in visiting the parks was seeing the afternoon parade at Animal Kingdom one last time. This parade is retiring as the park undergoes some changes.
