Magic Kingdom Afternoon
Day 5
After the great adventure at the PL, we had plenty of time for more rides
.before heading to FW for the Hoop-Dee-Do Revue. Usually, we return to the resort in the afternoons for a quick swim in the pool, but it didnt make sense because our ressie time for HDDR was 5pm. And needless to say, after paying for the PL, we were NOT going swimming.
MK did have lots of people, but didnt seem overly crowded
Ive been when its much, much worse. Wait times were not bad at all. The very first thing we HAD to do was ride Pirates of the Caribbean
for obvious reasons
We grabbed FPs earlier for
.
This is probably one of our favorite rides or at least in the top 5
he kids love it!!! DH and Pop were flashing pictures and trying to get videos!
And if you notice in the picture below, Pop has camera in hand trying to get that awesome shot.
And this melody
.
This song sticks in your mind for hours
or I should say months! Im singing as I type!! Kinda like Its a Small World!
And who can resist a chocolate covered banana??!!! Not us! Its one of those treats that I seek out at each park! I wish they had them at the resorts.
Dont laugh
but this ride is in my favorite top 5!! Oh...did I already say that once...well...Seriously
it always has been. DH laughs at me
kinda like he laughs at me when I talk about the Electric Water Pageant
I love that, too
oldies, but goodies, right?
The Carousel of Progress line was looking pretty empty (shocker, right?!) If this ride is ever packed, then it will have to be standing room only at MK! Jesse saw Buzz Lightyear and wanted no part of the CoP
so Pop and MaHopie stood in line with him to get pictures.
We rode several other rides, but didnt want to bore you with that! It was time to head over to FW for the HDDR. The kids were getting a bit tired, but I had a feeling that they would take a brief nap in the stroller on the way to the boats
.and guess what
I was right!
The boat over to FW is very convenient, but usually fairly packed
its a nice ride over, too. Of course you have to break the stroller down to get on
.OR
you dont have to and you can run over peoples feet while trying to push the stroller down the aisle, then take up extra seats and basically get in everyones way
. Ok
.that was my one rant for the TR. There were a ton of people waiting in line, and these 2 families had double strollers that they basically refused to fold up, therefore causing chaos on the boat because we, and others, had to move for them
while they literally rolled over peoples feet. It beat all I had ever seen
.okay
enough of that
after everyone was situated, the boat ride over to the FW was super relaxing
One of my favorite resorts!!!...of course I say that about all the resorts weve tried
well, except for ASMo
not that I hated it
just not my favorite.
This site still baffles me to no end! Every time I ride by, I wonder what Disney is thinking??!! If you ever get a chance to take the ever so fast SeaRaycers, make sure you ride up close
it always reminds me of a ghost town
completely abandoned. And look over at Discovery Island, too
.same thing
.deserted bird cages and docks. I have very fond memories of River Country, and would actually like to traipse through there and look around
guess that WONT happen.
Stay tuned
next up
..
Im not really a relaxer, well I guess I like to relax but not in normal ways.Im not someone would can just sit around and do nothing for long periods of time so after awhile (11 trips
) FW became alittle boring because it got to the point where everyone just wanted to relax there and I didnt. I prefer being in places like SSR where DTD is right there with so much to do.
Since you've read my TR, you know that we are up at the crack of dawn and hitting rope drop. Our summer trips are never relaxed...it takes us a few days to recoup when we return. Last October, the short trip was strictly for 'relaxing'...and was soooo nice. But then my definition of relax is probably similar to yours
And you sound like my DH....he can't sit for long periods of time either...he's constantly moving. Thanks again for your honesty about the resorts.
....can we ever get away from Disney discussions
Thanks for joining in! Congratulations on you wedding...how exciting to stay at WDW on your Honeymoon. My sister and BIL did the same thing years ago at the GF. No kidding...y'all were there the same time we were??!! We did see several people with the bride & groom hats...could have been you!
I don't know how you do it girl!
What a great use of time that was!
