Drove down on Monday 10/22 this trip was just the three of us 
- hadn't been that way *always had others with us* for a few years.
Tue ~
Checked out the Lego Store - love all their HUGE displays - Aladdin scene, Beauty and the Beast, Gandalf, Prince Phillip and Maleficent!
Brunch at Goofy's, great food, several characters *2 princesses - Jasmine, DD's favorite and Mulan, if DS were to admit it his favorite
After brunch I went to Mandara Spa *used my $200 worth of services for $100 - travelzoo.com deal several months ago, it was fantastic!
That afternoon/evening ~ Mickey's Halloween party! It was good, lots of candy *much longer candy lines than WDW MNSSHP, we went later so it wasn't so bad - but much better candy than WDW* Too many bodies! Why did they sell so many tickets? Fireworks were great, parade was OK - prefer WDW's parade. It was also easier to get/find pictures with characters in 2009 at the WDW party....
Wed ~
Started at DL, toured FL, TL, DD got done up at BBB.
Early lunch at Blue Bayou.
Early afternoon at DCA - love Cars Land! Mater's Jamboree is so fun! Short waits for that the 3 times we rode Wed-Thu, Luigi's is kinda lame. Love RSR ~ we single rider'ed it, tried SR again in the evening and the line was long!
Ended Wed back in DL.
Thu ~
Started in DCA, park opened at 9am, I had RSR FPs at 9:14am, then I went and got Show Passes for WOC. We SR RSR Thu morning *saved our FPs for the evening. Spent the afternoon in DL, had a late lunch at Big Thunder BBQ - *a 1st for us, it was tasty. Back to DCA in the late afternoon for RSR with FPs and WOC.
DD visited with Merida, Jack & Sally, Tink and Periwinkle ~ M, P, J & S were 1st times for her so that was fun.
One time only rides ~ Pirates and Soarin'. Missed Indy. Ghost Galaxy is good ~ never seen it that way before. HM was great, haven't seen it in it's original state for a couple years, planning on a my birthday visit early August 2014.
RSR ~ 3 times, twice SR, once with FP.
Kids have a new favorite restaurant ~ Flo's! We ate there 3 times, dinner Wed, breakfast and dinner Thu ~ DS says it's better than Blue Bayou
I kinda missed the longer hours *so I can take a nap
we went hard all day long. It was tiring but fantastic!
Drive home Fri 10/26 was long - we were stuck in Vegas for a while, crash on I 15. Yep it was this crash.
