Got up very early (5:00am) and did a quick swim and hot-tub while my daughter was sleeping. Got some breakfast from the 24 hour store near the hotel's lobby and went back to the room. We woke up, ate and got out the door about 8:45. On to the AK!
It was packed getting into the AK! Everyone headed right for EE! We got a fast pass - which was for 10:05, and went to Dinoland. We rode Dinosaur for the first time (and the last!). Little to intense for my daughter - and though I had been on it before, I didn't care much for it either. We say It's a Bug's Life, and the rode Everest. I liked it and my daughter loved it! She knew the Yetti was going to be at the end of the ride from watching the Disney Channel (she was on that side of the ride), which kind of scared her, but loved the rest of the ride. We had to get a pin and stuffed animal of the Yetti (ironically) after that. We then headed and saw Festival of the Lion King. We ate at one of our favorite restaurants - the Tusker House - and headed out after check the line at Kali River rapids. It had been closed in the morning for some technical reasons and was now back up - but without Fast Pass and had a 70 minute wait. Next trip! We then headed out to MGM!
We got to MGM around 1:00, and got a fast pass for with a 3:50 return time. We went to the Indy Show for the first time (which was great), and then got some ice cream and walked. We got Jo-jo's autograph and headed for the 2:45 show of Lights, Motos, Action! She loved it! We then walked into the Honey I Shunk the Kids playground (which she had been on last when she was 5!), got a fast pass for Star Tours, and went to the Tower of Terror!
I loved the ride (having been on it numerous times before) - but shed didn't. Had to get a pin of it as we got off to get us back in sync! I had our spray bottle fan on my lap on the ride, and it was cool to see it "floating" as we were going down!
We rode Star Tours - one of her favorites - and then headed back to CSR. I got some take out from the food court restaurant there and we ate in our room. We relaxed a little and headed over to EPCOT - which was having EMH.
We got to EPCOT, got our wrist bands (which we didn't need because we left before 9:00), and were disappointed that all the Soarin' fast passes were gone and theat there was a 70 minute wait. We went to Test Track (which also had no fast passes), but only had a 30 minute wait so we did that - great as always. We walke right on to Spaceship Earth on the way out (her first time) - and got back to the hotel and crashed. Another big day is planned for tomorrow!
