And The Oscar Goes To ......CRASH!

The Oscars are over for another year, but I have been jumping up and down over the Oscar for Crash. The first time that we saw it, I said that it deserved to win the Oscar for Best Picture. I never deviated from that opinion, but I did not think that the Academy would go for it with all the hype for Brokeback Mountain. We thought all the nominees were deserving, but we would have added King Kong to the group. Not too happy about the choice for best song, but we are not hip-hop people.

In anticipation of the Oscars, we decided to keep the day low key. We had lunch at Macaroni Grill. Instead of going into the parks, we did Transportation Day. We rode our bikes because the day was so spectacular. Then, we took the Magic Kingdom boat to Fort Wilderness Lodge and toured through the magnificent lobby. From there, we took a launch to the Contemporary Hotel, where we found this cute sculpture of Mickey. We love Disney!

From the Contemporary, we hopped onto the Monorail to the Polynesian Hotel. The gardens and lobby are so luscious. At their shop, we found the cutest Hawaiin shirt with Mickey in a hammock for Mel. Can't wait for him to wear it. I have it laid out so he will put it on tomorrow. We reboarded the monorail and went to the Grand Floridian, where I found matching earrings to go with my ring and bracelet. We ended our tour at the Magic Kingdom, where we boarded the Magic Kingdom boat and returned to the campgrounds. A great day!
