Just returned from a 7day/6night stay at the ASSports. Left from Indianapolis on Monday July 9th. Arrived at airport and took Mears to resort. This was so nice not having to drive. Checked in at 11am and our room was ready. Bought e-night tickets and made Fantasmic reservation at this time also. Took Disney bus to AK. Of course it had to start raining. But the park was really fun. We did not use fastpass once, and only had to wait in line maybe 10min. the longest. We did the entire park in about 4hrs. We rode: Dinosaur, Bugs Life, Jungle Trek, Safari Ride, Festival of Lion King, and ate at the RainForest Cafe. This cost about $50 for two adults. Food was alright, but atmosphere was great.

Went back to the resort and went to bed rather early, around 10pm. Got up as usual, at 6am the following morning.

We took a bus to Epcot for ee. This is a wise move. We were only going to stay till noon and we were able to do all of future world thanks to this extra time. We rode: Test Track, Wonders of Life, Univ. of Energy, The Land, The Living Seas, Honey...Audience, Imagination(which broke at the train scene and we had to be removed from the ride by firemen), What if labs, Innoventions, and Spaceship Earth. We only used fastpass for Test Track. Did not need it for anything else. Longest wait was maybe 15minutes. We then ate lunch at the Land pavillion at the BBQ shop. This was really good and only cost $17 for two adults.

We then caught a bus to MK around 2pm. The park was slammed!!

Up until now we had encountered no crowds at all, but MK was impossible to even walk through. But as usual, we did not use fastpass and only waited 15minutes at the longest for any ride. We rode: Pirates, Small World, Peter Pan, Snow White, TTAuthority, Presidents, Haunted Mansion, and Thunder Mtn. all before our 730pm ps at Crystal Palace. We payed $50 for two adults here and our food royaly sucked! The characters were neat, but not worth the price. I did propose here though to her! After eating we showed up at 845 for Spectro. Got good seats on bridge on Main Street. The parade was awesome! But also packed. We then walked up to the front of the castle for Fantasy in Sky. This was good except for the fact that Tinkerbell did not come down the wire? Everyone was very mad. Then we did e-night. Got our bracelets at Space Mtn. Arcade around 7pm. Not a sole in line here. We rode Splash Mtn., watched Spectro. again, and then rode Buzz, Alien Encounter, and Space Mtn. We then left at 130am due to lack of energy. Park closed at 11pm, had two Spectros.(9and11pm), and e-night was 11-2am.

Caught a bus back to resort with only about a 10minute wait. This was the only day it did not rain.
 
I am wondering.....did you propose this trip or a previous trip and you just went back to revisit it......HMMMMMM....LOL....thanks so much for telling us about the places and things you saw.....and can you tell me about the ride that you had to be taking out by the firemen... thanks again
 
I proposed on this trip. I did it at the Crystal Palace while we were eating. It made Spectro. and the rest of the night so much better.

The ride that broke on us was Journey into Imagination. I was upset to only see a small picture of Figment when we walked in. We got to the part of the ride at the beginning where it is dark and a train blows by you. Then it just quit working and a recording kept playing saying it would restart mometarily. It never did. We sat in the dark for over 20minutes! Since we were over a big dropoff, and the cars were a few feet away from the walkway, the CM's came in with the police and told us we had to wait for the firemen to come in and help all of us out. It was annoying, but things do happen. The policemen were pretty funny though. So it made the time fly by.:(
 
a vacation that will be hard to top.......thanks again
 

Wow Congratulations on getting engaged. YOu will have a story to tell your kids one day :)
 
This trip we decided to try Crystal Palace for breakfast. Could you explain what was wrong with the food? Perhaps I should eat elsewhere?
Thanks!
 
We ate supper there around 7:30pm tuesday evening. To start with, it must have been 10 degrees in the building. We were both shivering from the extreme cold. But the food was bad. Are pizza was hard as a rock, not to mention cold. The steak was tough and very fatty. The mashed potatoes were harder than rocks. I could hardly scoop them out, and I think I chipped a tooth trying to eat them:) I think the best part was probably our drinks and the characters, but isn't that what we are paying for here?:confused:
