We headed out early for EE at AK. We thought by going early we could get alot done. Not so on this day. We arrived at AK about 8:20,but the line to check bags was at a stand still. I had a fanny pack,and had to wait in line. By the time we got in it was 9:00,and it was already packed. I couldn't beleive it. My husband said to leave the fanny pack at home the next day,and put what I can in my pockets. I'm glad they have a bag check,but this was crazy! We rode Dino first. MY DS(5) loves dinos,or he did before we rode this. It was scary,and I probaley shouldn't have let him ride it. He doesn't normally scare easy. When we got off he said he never wanted to see another Dino in his life. Then what do we see,but Dino charecters chasing someone in the park! He had rode Space MT. yesterday,and loved it. AK was so crowed it was hard to walk around. We loved KS, Festival of the LK. This was one of my favorite shows. He is my sons favorite character,and he sang all the songs along with Simba. We had PS for Rainforest cafe at 12:00. We got there about 10 minutes early gave our name,and they called our name right at 12:00. This was a neat place to eat. I had a chicken sandwich,and fries which was good. My husband had a steak,and shrimp platter,and my son had the mini hotdogs,and fries. He loved all the animals. We left the park around 3:30 since we reservations for HDDR at 5:00. We rode the bus over to FT Wilderness. We were early so we just relaxed for awhile. I had heard from everyone what a great show this was. We really enjoyed it. My DH thought it was overpriced,but he complained about how expensive everything was. I'm gonna nickname him Grumpy! The food was good. The strawberry shortcake was huge. It was great. My son will not eat meat on a bone,and they had fried chicken,ribs,and corn. The waitress was nice,and noticed he wasn't eating and bought my son some pizza. He loved that. After the show we took a bus to Downtown Disney. I loved all the shops. We were tired so we rode the bus back to POR,and got ready for bed. The boat ride was very relaxing,and the boat captain had alot of good information. He even sang some Disney tones while he was driving. We got back to the room to find housekeeping had arrangement all my sons toys like they were watchign TV. They did something different every night. He loved it. He still thinks the char. were doing it! We headed to bed to rest up for MGM the next day.:sunny:
 
even if the parks are empty......we had a great time at AK too....but my favorite ride Dinosaur was shut down for a few weeks for rehab.....maybe next visit......thanks for your report
