Well, what can I say. We just got back today from 3 MAGICAL days at WDW. We stayed at Pop Century and explored all 4 parks.
1st Day - Wednesday
Arrived at POP around 7:45 am, early check-in and off to Magic Kingdom! Arrived right around 9:00am and just in time to see the train pull up to the Train Station with all the characters to "officially open" the park. It was our first time seeing this and it was a great way to start. Day started off Hot and remained Hot all day! My DW was prepared with water, gatorade and soda. We had frozen all of them the night before, so, they were nice and cold all day! Crowds were moderate, but not too bad. We went back to the resort around 2:00pm to refresh with a nice swim in the pool.....Ahhh refreshing! Around 5:00pm, we hopped a bus to DTD where we did some shopping and let the kids run around. They absolutely love the Toy Land store. Back to the room around 9:00pm and caught the Epcot fireworks from our balcony. Awesome!!!
2nd Day - Thursday
Arrived at MGM around 9:00am and my DS4 wanted to ride Star Tours for the 1st time. He had some anxious moments, but, when the ride was over, he couldn't stop laughing!! He was so proud that he did it that he couldn't stop talking to DM for about an hour on how we fought off the "bad guys" and had a "crazy robot driver" for our space ship. Saw Mickey near the Backlot Tour. Kids were disappointed that the Bugs Life playground was closed for rennovations
...... DS wanted to ride Spaceship Earth really bad, so, we hopped a bus to Epcot. Once there, we rode Spaceship Earth and played around in Innoventions where both DS love to play the videogames. Went into Cool Zone and grabbed some sodas from around the world. Ate lunch at Electric Umbrella, and rode the Mexico boat ride. Then....off to Animal Kingdom. Couldn't believe we were going to do another park, but, DS wanted to go. Off we went!!! Went to Rafiki's Wildlife Reserve and on the way, watched Mickey's Jammin' Jungle parade! After RWR, park was closing...........MK again???? No, but back to the resort for a Large Resort Pizza and the pool.
3rd Day - Friday
Spent all day at the MK. Crowds were alot heavier as Memorial Day weekend was kicking in! Hot, Hot, Hot....lots of fluids and sunscreen. Wanted to stay for SpectroMagic and Wishes, but kids were wipped out (and so were we!). Back to resort around 7:30pm for another swim and dinner.
4th Day - Saturday
Checked out with frowns on our faces, but, already starting to plan our next MAGICAL trip to WDW!!! As always, we had a fantastic time and our looking forward to our trip at the end of August!!!!
