About Dave Oney

Dave Oney was born mid last century in Middlebury, Vermont. He received his BS in Chemistry and worked as a polymer chemist in Massachusetts and New Jersey. He became a microscopist (someone who studies little bitty things using a microscope) and photomicrographer (someone who photographs little bitty things) before settling into a 35-year career in technical sales of scientific imaging equipment (the science of digitally recording itty bitty things, sending the image to a computer for analysis.) He designed and created a number of products contributing to this field. He is (was) proficient in several computer languages and is currently working on mastering English. After making a few more paradigm shift career changes Dave and his wife, Fran, retired and moved closer to their children and granddaughters and now live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas.

Day 3 and Counting

Posted on by

Under the Sea with Ariel first, then Tiki Room with our dancing granddaughters. Such fun. It’s a Small World next, but with audio and video today. You’re welcome.

Day 3 started pretty much the same as Day 2, except I took a picture of the breakfast.

Daniel, Grace and Kathy braved Splash Mountain and barely got wet. Life isn’t always fair.

The Jungle Cruise was followed by the Story of the Lion King, an excellent live production. We sat outside on the steps at the beginning but had to move as it was too hot and loud for the girls. Highly recommend the show. The singer/dancers were outstanding.

We toured many jungles on both Africa and South America on The Jungle Ride and something really caught Frances and Vivian’s attention. Probably the bad jokes of the tour guide.

Unluckily (?) the girls needed a nap so the grandparents also retired, but to some shaded chaise lounges by the pool where, purely by coincidence, they bring margaritas directly to you chairs.

After a very good dinner at Naples in Downtown Disney we tried Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree, which Grace loves. This was followed by more Tiki Room and It’s a Small World, before the Electric Parade and Fireworks.

Whew!! Another long day. Another wonderful day!!
