Me and my soon to be 6 y/o son went to New Smyna Beach and Orlando for 3 nights each through Etour and Travel. We visited the Kennedy Space Center for 2 days while in NSB. We loved it! My son learned a lot from the IMAX films and the tours were great as well.
We did Epcot and the Magic Kingdom on this past Saturday and Sunday. By far, he liked Epcot better. He loved Soarin, Mission Space and the Advanced Traing Lab, Test Track, Journey Through Imagination and the ImageWorks. He did not like the Honey I Shrunk the Audience so much. We stayed for the fireworks which we really liked as well. It was hot, but the crowds were not too bad. When we arrived at Soarin at the start of the day, they were tellng people it was broke but we walked in and it was up and running and we had a very short line. By the time we were out, the line was almost out to the loby. Some cool folks gave us fastpasses to Soarin so we did it twice. Got our FP for Test Track and did Mission Space (Green Team) a couple times. After we used our Test Track FP, a guy gave us 2 more FP for ZTest Track and we did ZZZMission Space again and some other stuff before getting back on Test Track. Right after we got off, Test Track went down, we smelled burning rubber when we got off. Very fun day!
Sunday we went to the Magic Kingdom. It was fun as well. My son liked Thunder Mountain RR, Splash Mountain, Pirates, Buzz Light Year, and his old favorites Dumbo and Mad Tea Party. He did not like the Ledo and Stich show so much. As the day went on, the crowd grew larger. We stayed for the parade and Wishes, but we watched from the back area up the stairs and we caught one of the first monorails out to the parking area.
We had been to Disney in 2007 for 5 nights and stayed at the WL. This off site trip was different. I think I prefer the on site experience better. The condos were very nice and had everything you need. I think it would have been better if my son were a bit older so I could have went back to the condo for a couple hours, ate, hit the pool and went back to the park. Spending 12 hours at the parks in 90+ degree heat is a bit of a challenge. Looking into a land and sea package for 2011.
Thanks to all of the cool people who gave us some much appreciated Fast Passes and helped us, I will say this, Disney people are pretty cool.
Any questions I can answer, please ask.
