Day Three: A little rain doesn't stand in the way

Friday started out with sunshine and smiles for a group picture that was taken of all members of the trip. However, our good fortune with the pleasant weather soon took a turn for the worse, in the form of storm clouds and rain.

We ran through the poor conditions quickly to get to Magic Kingdom, the main Disney park, where we were free to enjoy rides throughout the day. Despite the ominous outlook in the morning, the skies ultimately cleared up later on, allowing us to do nearly everything we had originally planned. 

In the afternoon, the marching band went backstage and prepared for one of the most exciting parades I could have dreamed of participating in. Cameras flashed and families cheered as we played and marched down the main walk of the park. Though stuffed in very hot uniforms, we were at our best and represented the Conestoga music department with pride. 

Once it was dark, we ended our day perfectly with fireworks above Cinderella's Castle, a magical, picturesque scene. The night was a bit chilly, but many of us decided to take a swim in the piano-and-guitar-shaped pools at the hotel anyway. So far, Disney has been a great experience, and the remaining days promise to continue getting better.

Check back tomorrow for more updates on life at Disney.
