| Tom and his new gargoyle friend |
Day one in Disney took us to Fantasyland. Of course, because I'm generally happy, our friend Jeff (who joined us for his 50th birthday celebration) thinks I live in "Fantasyland" every day. :) Here, though we got to meet Gods and Gargoyles.

GARGOYLING- Tom loved the Gargoyle sculpture found in Fantasyland. It was carved in a lamp post! Jeff found a gargoyle to his liking, too. Jeff's Gargoyle was in the Be Our Guest Dining Room.
THE BE OUR GUEST DINING ROOM - Disney recreated the ballroom from "Beauty and the Beast" and made it into an incredibly beautiful dining room. We didn't get a chance to eat there, but we did take some pictures.

| Neptune and Rob |
NEPTUNE KING OF THE SEA- I love the Roman and Greek Gods, and Neptune was a character in Disney's "Little Mermaid" movie,, so they had a statue of him there. Neptune is the god of the sea in Roman mythology, a brother of Jupiter and Pluto. He is analogous but not identical to the god Poseidon of Greek mythology. He's also the god of freshwater, earthquakes, hurricanes, and horses! Not to mention he's a muscular guy, so that makes him more appealing. :) - Although we both have beards, his beat mine out by a long shot!

LITTLE MERMAID RIDE CLOSED! - We walked to where the entrance of the Little Mermaid ride was and there was a wooden wall put up, so we walked past it and found another entrance that proclaimed "Ariel's Grotto" (Ariel is the little mermaid's name). We walked in and found a woman dressed as Ariel sitting on a rock with Disney photographers telling us to get our picture taken with her. We didn't realize that the ride was closed and this was what they were offering instead, so after a brief minute of confusion we posed with her for a picture. :)
