For our last full day at WDW we spent it all at the Magic Kingdom, Thanks to E-night, we actully spent a full 16 hours straight, which by the end of the night or early morning that would be we were ready to go back to the hotel. I forgot just how long it takes to get into the MK, I am so use to Disneyland and the entrance being right there, not across the bay. The only thing thats really annoying, is everyone pushing and shoving to get onto the ferry. I know everyone is excited including myself but do we have to shove? I saw cranky people already at this time of day. You know if parents are happy then, I don't want to see them later on. Well when we finally got to the gate I had to decide where I wanted to go first. I wasn't sure wether to hit Tomorrowland or go the opposite direction to adventureland. I decided for AL because I figured everyone would go to TL first for Buzz and SM. Was I correct in that thinking? I think so because our first ride, the Jungle Cruise had no line! That was great and had a great captain. The ride was enjoyable as always. Then we were going to Pirates but it broke down, so on to Frontierland to get Fastpass for Splash Mtn. and then go wait and ride Big Thunder Mtn. That was a great plan. I would highly recommend to do that! I'm not sure if WDW BTMR is a lot diffrent then DL but I enjoyed it so much more then I ever had. I love this ride now! Well at least at WDW. I ended up riding 3 times thru out the day. We then rode Splash Mtn. got just a little wet, which was ok, it was too hot at that time of day. Then went back rode Pirates, which was wonderful like always. Then on to the New Tiki Room. I have always loved the old show, I'm a big tropical fan. So the new show didn't disapoint. I hope they leave DL the old show and this one the new. It gives you reasons to visit both parks. The only thing I didn't really enjoy is Iago does not have a singing voice. It is so annoying and to give him a big number, yuck! That was the only part I didn't like but it was withstandable for me to enjoy the rest of the show. I loved the tiki god poles the best! Anways then on to TL where we got FP for Buzz and rode the peoplemover things, I like it alot better now that it goes more then 1/2 a mile an hour! Then we caught the Carousel of Progress, which was the first time I had seen the show. I heard so much about it, and I enjoyed it! I would recommend it for anyone that hasn't seen to go see it! I thought it was enertaining. Its amazing just how old that show is and how great it still looks! Then we went through Fatasyland which was very crowded by this time of day! So we took in the Lion King show, Its a good one for Kids I think, the one at AK was better I thought but this was good too! I some how lost my new $50 video camera battery in there, which I didn;t noticed had fallen off till I went to record the parade and it was gone. Luckly we hadn't done too much in that time frame so I was able to go back and find it under the seat! 
Thanks to the castmember at the door of the LK theater to let me in the back way so I could get it quick! So we watched the parade, which I thought the floats were nice. Then we went on Its a small World, which the boats ended up being backed up quite a bit then on to catch buzz, our FP time was almost out, so we went over there, that was alot of fun I won of course. We thought though you never really get to enjoy the ride scenery because you are too busy shooting! Many laughs though . Then we went back over to Columbia Harbour House to have Disney's great Clamcowder in a breadbowl! Yum my favorite at the parks! I really liked the bread there, it was not the DL usual of Sourdough. So that was a nice lunch. Then we took the Liberty Bell Boat, which was great because Mickey came on board and went all around the boat doing photo opportunities. This was the only time on the trip that I was able to get a pic with Mickey and in a unique background for him! I thought that was a good idea. They should do that more often if they don't. Then we went and shopped on Main Street and bought a few things and met the nicest Castmember I had yet to meet at WDW! Her name was Jennifer I believe, she was from San Antonio, TX and was so helpful and kind Could not have been more helpful! I wish I would have left a positve note with City hall. Does anyone know if you can still leave a note, like over the internet or something. I would like Disney to know what a great asset she is to their team. Then we watched a little bit of the electrical parade from the side of the Castle and then used that parade time to go on Winnie the Pooh, which I thought was great, I loved how it bounced and moved through the "water". Great effects I thought. Still though Peter Pan is my favorite FL ride, which we went on next and then watched the fireworks from right across from the pooh store, which is a great location, nothing is blocking your view because that body of water is there. So from there you can also see the low ones. The only problem is you can barely hear the music but the fireworks are so loud there anyways you don't really need music. Then it was time to go pick up our packages from Package pickup. Thats the only complant I have is that Disney closes the Package pickup before E-night is over, so you have to carry your packages with you through out those 3 hours. I thought that was the idea of the thing was so you didn't have to carry your purchases with you. Anyways, just an idea for them, it would only take one more person to work that booth. So we enjoyed the E-night, I have to agree with some and say the lines are sill somewhat long. I waited almost a 1/2 hour for Space Mtn. and that was close to the end of the night. So its not quite was Disney claims about being to ride the rides as many times as you want. You could have with Splash because it was so cold that no one was on it or very very few. I saw many empty logs going over. We did all the e-night attractions except the alien, not a big fans of aliens. THe crazy thing I thought was it ends at 12 but the last show of time keeper starts at 12. Which was the last thing we did, not too bad really. Robin Williams was enertaining! Well then it was time to start heading out, with no one really out still then we got out picture by the castle with no one else in view, yeah! and then I saw The statue of Roy and Minnie which I didn't know about and thought was great. So don't forget to get your pic there too! Its in the middle of that plaza right when you enter Main Street, the Triangle piece of land there. Well then we caught the monorail back the TTC and waited for a tram, which we weren;t still sure was running because it must have taken it 15 minutes to come but it picked us up and took us to the only car left in the park lot! How many people can say they were the last car in sight in the massive MK lot, huh? I thought it was great, I even had to tape it to prove to everyone else at home, we were there quite late But the day was as fun as ever and if I had to be on the go all day long I wouldn't want to be anywhere else, well maybe DL too! I'll do a wrap up soon of my overall thoughts and I hope I didn't bore too many of you with these long reports 
. If you have any questions I be glad to answer them!
