We miss uncle Phil! I'll never forget our trip to all 4 disney parks in one day: Uncle Phil decked out in his tourist gear, cubbies hat, walking off the tour boat with his video cam rolling...I'm just glad we noticed before our boat driver took the rest of us to our actual exit:) Miss you Uncle Phil!
