Hi all, we're back from our first trip together to WDW. We ended up buying FR Season Passes ... was a little disappointed that they are paper tickets now, but oh well. After a huge disappointment on the way there regarding our car this seemed minuet. We got about half way there when our van broke down and we had to wait for someone to come get us and then we drove them home and off we went in a borrowed car ... we got there around 3pm, checked into WDW All-star Sports with the FL Resident Rate, put things in the room and off we went on the bus to MGM, got the passes and were in the gate and on The Great Movie Ride by a little after 4pm. We then went to RNR and TOT, all three rides were pretty much walk ons... then we headed to see Fantasmic and got some goodies there for dinner... great show. We took the boat to EPCOT, had a WONDERFUL CM, he was sooooo very funny. Got to EPCOT around 8:30, did TT and MS and caught the tail end of Illuminations before heading back to buses to the hotel. Had dinner at the food court and went to bed...
The next morning we went to the buses around 7:45am, got to AK at 8:15am for the EMH for resort guest, walked on ITTBAB and Dinosaur (three times) and then headed for bus to Contemporary and caught monorail to MK... got there around 11am... had lunch at the Crystal Palace and hit Buzz (6 times walked right on), the TLTA three times, Space Mountain, Phillarmagic, Haunted Mansion, Small World, Pirates, and I think I might be forgetting something but we were done by 4pm, we headed to shop around and got turkey legs and waited for 6pm Spectromagic and then walked to the front of the Castle for Wishes, got a spot against the rails in the dead center front of the castle then headed for Monorail again to EPCOT, did SSE and MS and then headed to busses for hotel... had dinner at MCDonald's in the resort and just arrived home... overall crowds were light, weather was GREAT (cool and sunny) and the longest lines I saw were Pooh and Peter Pan which were 30 mins... everything else was 5-10 at most 20 and most everything was a walk on that we did even when wait was posted.... had a wonderful trip, now I know why I love Disney so much (we also have Universal/Seaworld/Busch passes)... there is just so much to do and enjoy... it's always exciting... plus staff there is top notch (most of the time).
Turned my non-disney fiance' into a believer ... hooray! He has already planned a trip to return to All-star for 5th and 6th of December ... although maybe this time we'll do one park a day... that power walking was rough...lol
Yahoo... Disney will allow me to upgrade my 1d/1p tomorrrow into a Season's Pass... I'm so excited. However I am very limited in time as we won't be getting to park until after 3 or so tomorrow afternoon and are only staying Sunday night/monday day... I would like to make stops in all four parks, but being the winter season and hours short I hope we can... anyone want to help plan a strategy for us (Fiance' and myself) BTW, he has not been to Disney/EPCOT since the 80's....
