- 10 Muppet shows today in Liberty Square.
- Clouds looked to be getting heavier as we stopped for a quick lunch at Casey's

- The Contemporary and Bay Lake Tower from the upper deck.
- Disney's Grand Floridian Resort
- Some boats out on the Seven Seas Lagoon today.
- As well as the usual fleet of launches.
- Three ferries in operation this afternoon. A backup to reach the TTC. The boat in front of us still waiting to dock as the one in port was just leaving.
- Polynesian Resort
- The one in front of us just pulling in. So we moved into position and waited.
- While stationary in the Seven Seas Lagoon I walked to all four corners of the boat and took some video. Here are the clips.
- Looking back.
- The ferry is full and leaving. It was about 8 minutes from the picture of it pulling until this one of it pulling out.
- A good crowd still on the dock waiting for our ferry.
- It seems odd to me that the banners as you arrive back at the TTC say welcome to the Magic Kingdom. Guess it is for those on board to see as they pull out.
- Finally ashore.. 20 minutes from the picture of me stepping onto the ferry.
- Time to catch the Monorail to Epcot.
