Caribbean Beach on the 4th of July

The Date: July 4, 2010
The Cast: My dad, brother, sister and me
The Reason: to see fireworks
The Place: Caribbean Beach Resort

My dad wanted us to do something together as a family for the 4th after dinner. He knew my sister didn't want to deal with 4th of July crowds at the Parks so he decided that we should go to CB to watch the fireworks. I was all for this idea because I would get the chance to explore a Disney Resort because I never got the chance to before.

We headed towards CB around 6:30 (super early right?!). After about 30 minutes we were sitting in Old Port Royale. I asked my dad what we were gonna do and he said "sit and wait". I decided to go explore the area with my sister. Outside, I snapped pictures and videos to share with my boyfriend. Then we headed to Calypso Trading Post and I channeled my inner MeMom and "shopped".

After "shopping" we headed back to the table, we sat for a few minutes until my dad suggested my sister go show me where they stayed when they were there for Christmas. My sister and I went walking and walked the majority of the whole resort. After our walk, we went back to OPR and convinced our dad to get some Mickey Bars.

After our snack, my dad wanted to go look in the gift shop. Then we wandered outside and sat by the pool and talked. Soon it was time for fireworks. We sat on a bench and patiently waited and waited and waited. Well, we heard fireworks but didn't actually see any.

Even still, it was a fun evening. Here's some pictures...
