Good day and welcome a brand new week of what should be fun shows from down here in Orlando at Walt Disney World Resorts.  (What - again?)  Yep!  And the reason is that we're doing shows from Disney World so that we can give away a Family Trip for Four every single weekday for weeks and weeks, right after the 7:30 am news.

We had a blast watching the Super Bowl - an awesome, fabulous, decisive win for the Saints when New Orleans can use whatever morale boost she can get - and frankly the ads were a huge highlight.  Look for the Letterman ad (featuring Oprah and Leno), the Doritos "barking lab" ad, Betty White in a Snickers ad (with cameo from Abe "Fish" Vigoda).  You can be pretty sure that www.chfi.com will have a link to the best of the best - take the time to watch them for some great Monday laughs.  I hope that cbs.com lets Canadians link up and yuk it up.

So, why aren't we on the air with you today?  Well, they're still setting up the broadcast sites for all of the stations that are doing shows live here this week.  Tomorrow we're at Disney's Contemporary Resort and Bay Lake Tower, which we passed through while taking the Monorail to Epcot yesterday.  We'll share some of those shots tomorrow, but in the meantime...let's see some pictures!

We arrived Saturday at Orlando airport after a smooth and brief Air Canada flight.  And our cars were awaiting us - wait, whose name is on that sign?

Erwin never showed up, so I took the ride :)  After a half hour drive we arrived at our home base.

We unpacked in our room in Kidani Village, which consists of a bedroom, two full baths and a nice living area with full kitchen.  Even a dishwasher!

Then it was off to spend the evening at the Magic Kingdom.  When you come to Walt Disney World - and we hope you do - you have to see the famous castle first.  Just as we arrived, Main Street was alive with a brief celebratory parade!

And, of course, I had to get all teary because eight-year-old Lauren wasn't with us.  (18-year-old Lauren would have had a good time too, though; producer Gord and his lady Dawn are here for the first time and they're as thrilled as any kid could be!)  Oh, and the castle at night is something to behold.

Here I am volunteering to take pics of a family...I love to offer up my shutterbug services when a whole family wants to get in on a shot!

Here's the castle, on which they shine colour-changing lights throughout the evening.

As you can see from the pictures, it's none too warm here.  We're layering and bundling a lot and glad that most of our shows are indoors here this year.  You can be sure that sweatshirts and hoodies (as well as blankets and scarves) have been flying off the hangers at the Disney stores.

Hope you enjoyed Darren and Julie James this morning.  Be sure and join us tomorrow live at 5 am and don't miss the Disney Trip a Day Giveaway on with CHFI.  It doesn't matter what your age or whether or not you have little ones in your life, this is still a magical place.

Lots more photos tomorrow here - and thanks for coming by.
