When Michelle and I were near Walt Disney World earlier today, I suddenly got a craving for a Dole Whip. Less than 15 minutes later, I was enjoying a self-served Dole Whip from Captain Cook’s at the Polynesian Resort, which I happily ate near the pool, with a view of the Seven Seas Lagoon stretching all the way to the Magic Kingdom’s train station. Though it’s late November, it’s still in the high-70s / low-80s here in Florida – rather beautiful weather actually. So plenty of kids were splashing in the pool while I enjoyed my cold treat. Michelle also got a ginormous plate of pork nachos (BBQ pulled pork, crispy potato chips and wonton-like fried goodies, spicy sauce, and pineapple salsa) which I gladly helped her finish off.

Then we wandered through the hotel’s arcade where I got a free round of Tron: Legacy pinball, as someone had left it ready to play. Score. Afterward we went to Downtown Disney for some shopping and then back home. We hadn’t set out to visit Disney, but somehow we always end up there. Not complaining.
