Crew - Me 30yr old female, DH -31 and 2 DD's 6 & 1
Don't try this run.
MK - First monorail into MK. In time for Rope drop to fantasyland. Ran to Pooh no line, Peter Pan no line, and Splash Mountain 5 minute line. Did child swap at Splash. I got soaked, my DH on the 2nd time did not. It was 10:15. We went to CBJ. Cute show. Went out to catch the bus for MGM.
We waited about 25 minutes and gave up after we saw 2 buses for AK. We walked to the truck and drove to MGM.
Got into the park about 12:10 ran to Playhouse Disney. Too late for 12:15. So DD (1) and I waited in line while DH and other DD went autograph hunting. They let us in about 1:05. Well worth the wait. Both my DD's were dancing around and having a good time. We then went to see if we could get into Indy. Nope standing room only. (not for a 30 minute show). We went to Sounds Dangerous. Now my DD (1) didn't have a problem with the 7 minutes of darkness but others did. We went to Al's Toy barn for Buzz and Woody. It was the longest line for a character we had all trip (25 minutes). We then decided to head to Epcot as planned. We should've stayed at MGM and got another day ticket to do Epcot but live and learn.
Epcot- Finished WofL and went to get FP for Test Track. Got them at 4pm for 8 pm.
Went to the land to eat and watched Food Rocks. It changed from the last time. I miss the Broccoli. My Dh and DD (6) went to HISTA and I went with DD (1) to hear OffKilter. They were OK.
Meet up with DH and DD and started going around the countries. Got a Chocolate Hazelnut and sugar beavertail in Canada. Good but rich. If you have had an elephant ear it's the same thing.
Got a yard (really tall glass of beer) in UK. Went to Morroco. Started DD's Mask (forgot about it till then). We were on a mission then. We went to each station till we were stopped at China for the 8:10pm TofD parade. The parade was ok. Drum guys then puppets drum guys then puppets. You get it. Ran to Norway after parade. DH and DD (6) went on Malestorm. Then we ran to TT(DH and DD (6) first). DD (6) and I were the next to last car for the night. That was the final thing in the parks for us.
The next day we lounged around the pool, checked out Fort Wilderness, and went to Downtown Disney.
Oh yeah, Went to Beaches and Cream - probably the best meal in Disney after CRT. We could've gotten the Kitchen Sink but felt it was too much. Dh and I got double burgers and shakes. DD (6) got Hot dog and a shake. We got a banana split and No Way Jose for dessert. The bill probably would've been about $50 but the vouchers from Connections covered it.
Good but exhausting trip. Next time we will do one park each day with a catch up day. We will also take a day break in between.
Just to show how things change the original line-up was.
Sat - Epcot all day Illumination cruise.
Sun - CRT and MK all day
Mon- Mgm then to MK for end of day.
Tues - AK then finsh in MGM with Fatasmic.
Wed- Catch up
Biggest regrets - Missed Festival of Lion King in AK. Only 8 hours in Epcot (broken up).
Missed Alien encounter. Having to switch hotels.
Lessons learned - One full day each park. Get there early. Be as flexible as you can.
Best things -
AK- Talking trash can, safari
MK - CRT, Goodnight kiss
MGM - Characters, Playhouse Disney, Fantasmic
Epcot - Kid stations, Test Track
