Even though my dad was adamant about not having a huge party for his birthday, we still celebrated big time. I got the shirts made that said, "Celebrating Dad's/Grandpa's 50 with Mickey" which we wore 3 days we were there. And Disney provided him with an "It's My Birthday" pin to wear. So between the two he got LOTS of birthday wishes and quite a few rounds of "Happy Birthday" from complete strangers...not to mention a robot! We had his birthday dinner at a Moroccan restaurant in EPCOT where there was belly dancing. It was a lot of fun! Then that night we back to our hotel where we'd ordered a cake. I don't have all the pictures because some of them are on my other camera which my brother still has. Darn. Oh well.
My dad embarrassed that Mickey & Minnie were so excited about his birthday. Hee hee!

One day while we were eating lunch, this employee rang this big cowbell and shouted out, "Hey everybody, we have a special 50th celebration here! Please join me in a round of Happy Birthday!" And then the whole room sang! We didn't even tell the guy...I guess the shirts were a dead giveaway. We also won these cool Mickey ears as part of the "Million Dreams" giveaway. I'm pretty sure it was because of my dad. :)

"Here Grandpa, eat your ice cream with your candle, it tastes so much better this way!"

Did Rachel and her kids go? Looks like you had a great time. Your dad is seriously the most young-at-heart person I know. He's always so much fun. Tell him Happy (late) Birthday from me.
Kristen- No, poor Rachel and Erin were stuck in school. We sure missed them though!
Now that's the way to celebrate your birthday! Now I've got the Disney itch... maybe next year!
Disney is my favorite place how fun. Looks like you guys had a great time! We will be in Disneyland the week before Christmas I cant wait.
Tell your dad Happy Birthday from me!
