DAY TWO: MK and EPCOT
Cast:
DW: Me, aged 38
DH, Mo, aged 36
DD Leila, aged 9
DD Samya, aged 6
DS Zach, aged 16 months
Next morning we were at Magic Kingdom by 9 a.m., and in Tomorrowland for rope drop. We went straight to Space Mountain, did the kid swap and rode and rode! We also went to Frontierland, and did BTMRR, and Splash Mountain. We went through the Haunted Mansion and did Small World. Checked out MickeyâÂÂs and MinnieâÂÂs Houses, and then returned to our rooms for a rest.
We headed to Epcot where we had PS for Le Cellier. By the time we got there, (after battling the cold and my DHâÂÂs diarrhea), we decided not to keep the ressies. I wasnâÂÂt about to waste that kind of money on a somewhat grouchy, very antsy party of 5. We grabbed some food at the Electric Umbrella, and did Test Track, which we loved! The speed is great, especially at night. It does seem to break a lot though!
DAY THREE: AK and MGM
We were up and out by 7:40, and at AK for the opening. There is nothing like AK at 8:00 in the morning. That park has the greatest ambience. I loved walking through Harambe village when it is empty. We went straight to the safari, walked on, and had a great ride, with a super guide from Zimbabwe. Saw lots of animals, including lions, which weâÂÂd not seen on our previous trip.
We headed to ITTBAB, and then to Dinosaur, which we kid-swapped for. Kids dug in the boneyard, and then we caught Tarzan Rocks, which we thought was wonderful! After a delicious lunch in Tusker House (I had Beef stew in a bread bowl, and DH a tasty nut-coated chicken dish), we headed to Asia. The kids begged to ride Kali Rapids, in spite of the frigid temps. I relented. We rode twice in a row. I had on a poncho and stayed dry, but the kids were drenched. There were blow dryers set up outside, which I made the DDs stand in front of for 10 minutes. Sure enough, they were dry! Meanwhile, DH took DS through the Maharajah trail, where he spotted Martina Navritilova. He got her autograph, and my younger DD was steamed because it was in her autograph book. Our DD didnâÂÂt know who Martina was, and only cared that a non-character had signed her book!
We headed back for our night at MGM. Took a little rest at the hotel. It was too cold to swim, that was for sure!! We headed to MGM, and straight to RNR where we got FP, then ToT, where we babyswapped (10 min wait). We got out and did RnR and again baby swapped. WeâÂÂre baby-swapping experts!! Anyway, weâÂÂd had PS for Prime Time Café at 4:30,but opted not to keep them so we could do RnR. We rode some more, grabbed pizza (forget the name of the outdoor fast food areaâ¦), and then headed to Fantasmic, which remains one of our all-time favorite Disney attractions! You gotta love it when the âÂÂhero boatâ comes steaming around!
We left, and got our bus back to ASMo with little wait!

Sounds like your day was great other than that.
