Day 3 Monday we're on a MK mission so we set off first to 1900 Park Faire for breakfast which in my opinion was the best character meal we had the whole trip what an awesome time we had here and it was so pretty. A great way to start our Magic Kingdom day. After breakfast, we headed to MK and went right to Space Mtn but 1st got a fastpass at Buzz Lightyear's. We walked onto Space Mtn in 10 minutes and rode it. I'm not much of a ride person especially rollercoasters but this was okay. A little choppy though. We then walked right on Buzz's due to FP which was alot of fun although my dd scored higher than me and my Mom scored higher than both of us and didn't have a clue as to what she was doing !!! Afterwards we went to walk over to Splash Mountain but it was quite crowded and my dd didn't want to ride it after riding Space Mtn so we didn't wait to get a fp but got one for Peter Pan's instead. One thing I didn't like about fp was that you could only hold 1 active one at a time. So If you wanted to get on two rides within a time period it was hard. We rode haunted mansion 3 times the whole trip which my dd loved. We left the park after Celebration Surprise to go back and swim and then came back after we had dinner at Kona Cafe that evening since the park was open until midnight. We rode Pirates and Aladdin's magic carpet ride and Indy 500 and the teacups and left around 11:30 or so. Lots of fun and rode everything we wanted to except Splash & Thunder and I didn't do Jungle Cruise either or Tom Sawyer's Island. Oh well next time.
Day 4 Tuesday - AK This was a day I had planned on trying to finish in a couple of hours and do something else which didn't really work out because it rained early in the day hard and stopped and then again as we were leaving so it threw a wrench in the plans a bit. We did the safari first thing as we were waiting at 8:30 when they opened the gates and then went on to do Primeviel (sp) Whirl which my dd loved and I didn't. Then we saw Tarzan Rocks which I didn't think was that great, went to go on dinosaur but I let my dd off the hook at the last minute literally. We saw bugs life 3-d which was adorable and rode Kali River which was a long line that I didn't use fp for since we were leaving afterwards. I thought it was way too short and I still haven't seen the Lion King show which annoys me. Next time again. We left there and went MGM. Went on Movie Ride, and star tours twice and saw the 10:30 Fantasmic show which we had great seats for without doing the dinner package. What a perfect ending to the day and such a great show.
Day 5 - Wednesday Epcot - We started out at the front and did Body Wars, and Spaceship Earth and walked around a bit. Went into where they make the different flavor sodas from different countries and sampled them all. That was so much fun. We decided to walk to the WS and started in Canada and by the time we got past Britian I realized that my dd should be making a mask so in Morocco where we saw Princess Jasmine and Aladdin she started her mask. We stopped every pavillion thereafter to stamp her mask and look around which was nice. We ate in the American Pavillion and saw the masquerade in Italy. By the time we got to the African tent though we had thunder and lightening and had to stay under cover for awhile. It was still raining and we walked over to check out china and saw the acrobats inside the pavilion. We all thought that was cool. After we went to Norway, rode the ride 2x and finally onto Mexico where we hung around for about an hour or so rode the ride and ate dinner at San Angel Inn. Real pretty in there. We had fp for Test Track at 5:00 but because of the rain missed them and after the parade went over to test track and they honored our fp even at 8:00 at night. We still had to wait a little bit but met this real nice English family and my dd got the little girls address to pen pal with. My dad had to go to the bathroom and left the line so he didn't ride. What a great ride that was I loved it. Afterwards with Illuminations in the background we left Epcot. A long but great day.
I'll be back later to post 6, 7 & 8.
