One of the perks of being successful at Raymond James is the bi-annual trip to Disney where Mr. Mulder has to work and the rest of the Mulder's get to play, at Disney no less. One of the perks of dating Laurel is she is a Mulder, meaning this year I was invited on the trip. I flew to Orlando with Mitchell, the Mulder kid's cousin, and met the rest of the Mulder's as they flow in from Italy.

Raymond James put us up in a gorgeous resort called the Grand Floridian, which was about a 2-minute monorail ride from Magic Kingdom. We had a big suite that also allowed us access to the concierge level, a super-secret floor that served breakfast, afternoon tea, and hors d'oeuvres. This was great because as everyone knows the parks charge ridiculous prices for food so combining the concierge level with the meals Raymond James provided we only had to buy one meal in the park (other than ice cream).

The daily routine consisted of getting to a park by 8:30 to be in line for the 9:00 opening. We would have Phil and Mitchell run to Fastpass one major attraction while we headed to another, so we could knock out two big rides right away. We would usually leave the park by noon to get back for lunch. We then spent some time in the pool, and resting until dinner. We would then go to another park until closing, again having Phil and Mitchel do all the hard work. Phil said it was more exercise than he had in the past 6 years.

All in all it was an awesome trip, and this blog posting could never do it justice. There are several more pictures that you can see at the link below:
