Just back last night from 4 nights at WL. We arrived on Mon. 7/19 around 12:00pm and were immediately assigned an upgraded courtyard view room. Spent day at lodge, DTD, and dinner at Trails End. Buffet excellent as always. :goodvibes:
Tues. 7/20- MK - rained most of the day:umbrella: - which was wonderful!!! DD13 and I put our hats on (no ponchos, too hot!!!) and kept moving!!! The rain always makes the crowds smaller the CM's told us. The last time we were there was Jan. 2 - don't even ask how crowded it was ( see my tag!!) :crowded: Saw Spectromagic and Wishes made me cry as always!!:sad: Splash Mountain down most of the day. No reason given to us why. No rides were more that 60 min. stand by time. We work the fast-pass system and never waited for a ride more than 10 minutes. :cool1:
Wed 7/21 - MK - opening ceremonies - spent 1/2 day then off to MGM. Rode TOT finally DD13 dragged me onto it!! NEVER AGAIN though!!! :faint:What was I thinking? I get sick in the elevator at the WL!! Wed. night back to MK for Wishes, and Spectromagic again then E-Ride - this is a must. We did everything we wanted 2 or 3 times with no waiting!! Well worth admission. :cheer2:
Thurs - 7/22 - EPCOT - everything going well until DD and I ate too heavy lunch at American Pavillion - then back into the sun and DD nearly passed out from heat exhaustion.:faint: We had been drinking water, etc. not enough to combat heat though. Had to end the day early. :sad: Unfortunately, didn't get to use our FP for TT had to get her back to hotel. She was OK after 4 hour nap!! This pretty much ended our day in the parks. Went to Pleasure Island that night. :rockband:
Fri - 7/23 - checked out WL @ 5:00 am and drove that long, sad drive back to ATL.
To sum it all up - excellent trip, low crowds, hot but manageable weather great accomodations as always. Can't wait to go back!!! Planning on next July 05!!! :thewave:
