Situated in Downtown Disney this attraction has five floors of of video games, virtual reality rides,arcades and  flight simulators.

It is worth a visit and could easily fill half a day if the weather is bad or if the weather is good if you are in to this type of attraction.

When my wife and I were there just recently it was very popular and had attracted people from six to sixty and they all were having a great time.

Bahama Bay Resort is only a short drive from this attraction so make it your center for your stay in the Disney area.

Blizzard Beach is themed to look like like a ski resort and it has a ski lift and snow capped mountains. It is the home of Summit Plummet which is a free fall slide of some 120 feet.

Essentially Blizzard Beach is a slide and raft water park and is worth a visit if only for half a day. Car parking is free although you do have to pay to rent locker space for your bags and clothing. There are plenty of places to lounge and sunbathe. Be prepared for a wait at some of the slides.

Check out Run - Off Rapids with curving slides and Teamboat Springs which increase speed the more people you have on your mat.

Remember Bahama Bay Resort is ideally situated only a short drive from this attraction.

After a week of warm but somewhat humid weather things are going to change over night tonight. A cold front is slipping towards the State and this will significantly drop temperatures.

The passing of the cold front will increase rain chances to 40% although I believe there will only be one band of rain so it should pass quickly. After that it will be mainly dry for the rest of the week.

Temperatures today are expected to peak at about eighty but from Sunday onwards peaks in the middle to high sixties will be the norm. Thursday and Friday should bring an improvement to the low to middle seventies. What about night time lows? These will be in the forties for the major part of the week with an improvement later to the low to mid fifties. If you are vacationing here next week then some warm clothing for the evenings should feature in your luggage.

Forecasters are saying the skies will be mainly clear with some cloud from time to time.

There is no Tropical activity to report at this time in either the Atlantic or the Caribbean.

Although it will be cooler this is a great time to be in the Disney area where the festive season is beginning to feature. So make your reservation now at Bahama Bay Resort.

We had the opportunity to visit Epcot on the kind invitation of our next door neighbor who is a Disney Cast Member.

At present the Wine and Food Festival is going on and will be until 9th November. This is where you can sample foods from different parts of the as you walk around World Showplace. It is not free but on the other hand it is not at all expensive and you can purchase glasses of wine and beer to go with your food and these have been chosen to compliment the dishes by various Disney sommeliers. In addition you can watch cookery demonstrations go to wine tastings and book signings by some famous chefs.

Additionally they have a Show which is called Eat to the Beat at the America Gardens Theater and on this occasion the Atlanta Rhythm Section was playing. They were great and good value. The two guitarists were exceptionally good and the lead singer had a great voice. All in all a very enjoyable half hour show. Check out my photos titled Atlanta Rhythm Section.

We went to some areas of Epcot where we had not been before and had a look at the Innoventions section and then on to a boat ride through the agricultural lands of America to learn how crops are produced and at the new ways they are using to grow crops. Not your usual Disney ride but very interesting nevertheless and we learnt something in that we did not realize Disney were in to this sort of thing but with their partner Nestle they obviously are.

Then back to a more normal ride where we watched the Adventures of Nemo whilst riding in a clam shell through an underwater world. Here apart from Nemo and all the other characters we also saw sharks and dolphins.

It was now getting on in time and we had a short journey to make to The Wilderness Lodge where we had reservations for dinner. This is an up grade Disney hotel and we were interested to see it as we had heard so much about it. On walking in there my breath was taken away. It was like walking in to a Log Cabin except the dimensions were enormous. The ceiling was extremely high and the lights had scenes of buffalo and Indians. The seating area was vast and just like a log cabin. There was an enormous fire place with the fire going and rockers to sit in. At the far end from the entrance there is a bubbling water source through rocks and the water passes under the Lodge wall and forms a stream outside that meanders through the gardens and over a waterfall to the swimming pool at the bottom. The garden area is surrounded by the hotel itself and the rooms all have balconies overlooking it. All in all just like the real thing.

We ate in the Artists Point restaurant and the food was really good. I had Buffalo which was tender and cooked just right and the ladies both had Plank Salmon which they said was succulent and very tasty. The service was attentive and the food very nicely presented. The portions were not large but after a three course meal we found ourselves well satisfied.

This was a memorable afternoon and evening which I hope we shall be able to repeat again sometime in the future.

Bahama Bay Resort is only a short driving distance from Disney so it is the ideal center for your stay.

Don't forget that clocks go back one hour tonight.

Get out and vote on Tuesday November 4th. Both Presidential candidates have worked extremely hard to get to this date and deserve your support and votes.

The earlier part of the week was cool but I am pleased to say it is now beginning to warm up again. This latest cool spell was very early in the year and I hope this trend does not continue.

Temperatures over the next week can be expected to be in the high seventies and low eighties and the lows at night to be in the low to mid sixties. This is certainly more like it and hopefully last weeks lows in the forties and highs in the mid sixties can be forgotten for a while.

There is another front coming through but this will not be a cold one. Today, Saturday, rain chances will be about 10% increasing to 40% tomorrow and then back to 30% on Monday. After then forecasters are saying it will be mainly dry.

There is no Tropical Activity at present and now we are in November things should wind down to virtually nil. However Hurricane season goes on until the end of the month so forecasters are still watching the Caribbean with nothing expected to form in the Atlantic.

Still good to be at Bahama Bay Resort so make your reservation now.
