Epcot - Day 4

For the 2nd year the Disney Company has put on an event called Disney's 2008 Alliance Appreciation Dream Week. It consisted of vendors such as IBM, Hewlett Packard, Siemens and all sorts of other companies that help to make Disney what it is. They had a lovely and plentiful buffet ready for us as we walked into the reception hall. It was absolutely BEAUTIFULLY decorated. All over the tables were pretty blue table clothes with iridescent shimmering star tablecloths, a DJ booth, drinks, appetizers, and one very beautiful CINDERELLA carriage tucked just ahead of the buffet table. As everyone walked in the room we were greeted by cast members handing out Mickey ears to wear that lit up like fireworks. What a treat that was. As we searched for a table to sit at, we encountered 2 other HP employees and their families/spouses. Turns out that one of the ladies works almost in the same group as Jake but she lives in Atlanta and the other gal works in Santa Rosa facility. OH, the food was delicious as was the dessert which came later. Yes, you know me, I took photos of FOOD!!! The DJ played some great music…all Disney of course. The kids had fun, they danced and they even had a dance contest for the kids. They made it fun for everyone there especially the kids. After dinner at 8:30 everyone was escorted down to where we had VIP seating for Illuminations: Reflections of Earth. It was magnificent. There were fireworks galore, it was beautiful. We had a large dessert buffet waiting for us as well and coffee and other beverages. Disney sure knows how to put on a good show that’s for sure. EPCOT photos.


After the fireworks display at Epcot we made our way to the Magic Kingdom. The extra magic hours were till 3am and we stayed till around 2:30. WOW, what a busy, busy day. We stayed and watched the Spectro Magic parade. Not long after the parade we headed back to our resort to bed. We were so tired. See you next blog.
