It would be the first of two visits from Rebecca and Penelope, the second in late January/early February. Since this blog has ample Disney posts--just enter "Disney" in the search box and be amazed; or appalled, as the case may be--I won't attempt to be comprehensive nor chronologically correct. Many different cameras/phones cooperated on this post and the sequel. Oh yes, it was Christmastime, so there's that too, as well as pix from the miscellaneous wanderings Vicki and I do, both at Disney and in the neighborhood here at our Lake Buena Vista residence.
