Well my DW & DD of 6, flew out Last Sat, 5th from Jackson, MS for a total of 36 hours in Disney.
By the time we got ME transfers and checked in to ASMo, it was 4:45. We rushed our bags (carry on only) to the room and rushed back to catch a bus to see La Nouba @ 6:00. We staying in the Woody building:
Got to La Nouba with 2 minutes to spare. Whew! Haven't taken a breath yet! La Nouba was AMAZING! If you've been you know what I mean, if you haven't...go! Our seats were on the second row in section 101 (isle thank goodness) and they were very interactive. There are no bad seats in the house. The clowns were too funny. I took one picture (without a flash) before hearing that I wasn't allowed.
After La Nouba, we walked down to our 8:00 ADRs at Raglan Road. I had read many reviews regarding Raglan and was a bit concerned but let me tell you know that we loved it. We were quickly seated (two tables from the stage) and had a great server. I was able to get me hands on a Clear Channel Cert. and had no problems using it. I was handed a total itemized bill with the $50 taken off the total. My wife and I had the Burger and my DD had chicken sliders. We also had several beers and Irish coffee with out deserts. We orders two, a chocolate orange thing (can't remember the name) and a Tiramasou (terrible spelling) like desert made with Baileys. Yum! We listened to one song before taking the bus back to ASMo. The pics from RR came out too dark.
My DD loved Stitch on the wakeup call. We went down to breakfast and the front desk printed out our "A" boarding passes for the next morning before jumping on a bus to MK. Arrived at the park at 8:55 and experienced low crowds until about 12:00. My DD was a bit afraid of TMR so we skipped it until later when she not only decided to ride it but proceeded to ride it three times.
The Christmas decorations were starting to go up and were beautiful:
At 1:00 we had ADRs for Crystal Palace and had the best server Michael. The characters came by within the first 15 minutes. After a half hour of eating, we were stuffed to the gills. Crystal palace had a great lunch buffet and the atmosphere was fun.
We went back to ASMo for my DD to nap and by 4:00, we were back in action in MK. This is the wild part! Starting at 4:30, all the rides were dead. I mean we'd walk up to TMR that had a 10 minute wait listed and walk right on! The park was like this for two hours. We had one set of fast passes for Buzz and another set for any ride given to use for getting stuck in POC for 15 mts.
, bt never used them. It was the best fun we've ever had at MK.
We were lucky enough to catch Buzz, The Incredibles and Stitch. Here is our group pic with Stitch:
We have never been and ridden so much. I assume it was due to people's dinner ADRs and then the parade. We didn't want to see Spectromagic so we didn't get down to main street until 10 minutes prior to Wishes. (with hotdogs in hand). This one is dark so...
The hard part was waking up at 4:50 for a 5:30 DME pick up to the airport. Whew! Anyway, we had a great time!
