June 8th Recap -
We've arrived. Although our flight was delayed today 2 plus hours because of mechanical issues we made it to Orlando. Check-in at AKLV was less than 2 minutes long even without resort online check-in.
Anna and I had a great time at the Magic Kingdom tonight. Watching the Main St. Electrical Parade with her for the first time was a real treat. The weather was spectacular. There was a slight breeze and temperatures were very tolerable. Guests were all excited about the parade. Tonight was the first time I heard a loud applause and chanting before the start of a parade. Main St. was truly an electric atmosphere for this parade. As far as I can tell the MSEP floats are better than Spectro, but I still like the Spectro music much better than MSEP.
For those of you on the dining plan I've found a great snack credit. The ice cream sandwich at the Main St. Bakery is awesome. 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream sandwiched by your choice of 2 giant cookies. Cookies to choose from are oatmeal rasin, sugar, or chocolate chip. Awesome! I wish I would have taken a picture of it, but i got to ahead of myself and started eating it before I thought about the picture. I'm sure another one is in our future.
We used our first quick service credit at Pecos Bill. I tried the 1/3lb angus burger. It was okay, but nothing spectacular; however, piling on the mushrooms and pickles made it taste better. The cheddar cheese sauce tasted great with the fries. To me, Pecos Bill and Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe are the 2 best quick service restaurants at the Magic Kingdom.
Anna did get her joke we texted in to the Laugh Floor read during the show. Pretty awesome!
Tomorrow we plan on waking up early and going to Hollywood Studios for morning EMH. The park opens at 8:00AM to resort guests. We hope to get a couple spins at Toy Story Mania. Once we've done TSM we'll head over to Starring Rolls for breakfast. Tomorrow afternoon we are going to head over to the Kidani Village fitness center for a workout followed by a swim at the Kidani pool. Tomorrow evening we have an ADR at Chef Mickey's and then it's over to EPCOT.
More photos and info tomorrow.
