Good morning!!!
We have internet for 24 hours so i wanted to pop on & say Hi!
The BWI is very nice. We checked in & got a courtyard view room which looks right to the back of Epcot. We can see & hear Illuminations from our balcony..(so cool!)
Yesterday we spent the day at MK. Got there at rope drop & hit all of fantasyland & liberty sq by 10am. Hall of Presidents was very good. Not only was Obama added but the movie was redone too & very enjoyable.
Lunch was upstairs in a very quiet Columbia HH. It was nice crowd wise until about 11am when it became crowded but we weaved our way around & got to do Buzz, CoP, Big Thunder, Splash, POTC & Jungle Cruise. Every CM we passed said Happy Birthday to us (they gave us birthday buttons at check in) & it made me feel like a kid when we you actually excited to have another birthday!
We had a nice dinner at CP. They brought us cupcakes & a card. I really feel like a kid! After that the sky became black & as we headed out of the park (6pm or so) it started to pour with the loudest thunder you ever heard. The plan was to take the monorail back to the TCC but there was no way to drive in the car back to BWI so we just stayed on the monorail for a few scenic trip around. When we did make our way back we stopped at the lounge for some cookies & chocolate covered strawberries. Daniel was about to fall over. The heat really got to him so we left to go back to the room so the kids could get a solid 8 hours sleep. We watched Illumination from our balcony & the lightening was compeating with the fireworks.
Well thats it for now. For all of you headed this way, crowds looks bd around midday but using FP's is the key. I can't believe how people stood on the 1 hour line yesterday at BTM & Splash when you could use a FP & get in in 10 minutes!!
Oh & also there are less photopass photographers than last year. I think we only found 3 locations to get a picture done yesterday.
Well thats all folks!
Hope everyone is doing well & if we get internet again I will be sure to post.
Have a great day!
