Up and at them early this morning – and grabbed a breakfast sandwich at Tubbie’s. Today is the Dis Con Thrill Ride Tour – and soon we were all meeting at the Swan bus stop and after a few group pictures we were off and running.

Thrill Tour Pictures

Our group started at the Magic Kingdom and and the first thrill ride was a quick stop at the Main Street Bakery. We then proceeded to Splash Mountain – where I am glad to report no one got in trouble – but a few got a little damp around the edges – but a fast ride on Space Mountain dried all of us off. Big Thunder was down for the morning so we boarded the monorail to the Ticket and Transportation Center to board a bus to the Animal Kingdom. I made a quick stop at will call and picked up my MVMCP ticket for later on the week while here too.

Soon, we were pulling up to the Animal Kingdom and off for more adventures.

Did Dinosaur and saved the dino just in the nick of time – some got fast passes for the new whirl and then found out Kali was down. We stopped at Flame Tree for lunch and ate down by the river – a nice setting for more laughs and friendship. Soon it was time for the fastpasses for whirl – not sure I would ride this first thing right after lunch again.

Off to the buses to transfer to MGM – it was soon time for Rockin’ and Rollin’ and Tower of Terror. We lost a couple of our group here due to shopping but we finished the tour in time to get back and freshen up for the next big event – Drink Around the World (DATW).

Met in England think there were close to 80 ready to start the adventure around the world – and slowly made our way to Canada and then Norway. Before we all reached Norway and or Germany the skies opened up and we were basically washed out. So, DATW became Drowned Around the World – the group scattered and most of the group met at Karoke in the Swan. I went to bed after a real good soaking, and a ride on a boatie.

Mickey bar total = 3 – one for each park hit today – my own little thrill ride :smooth:
 
Sounds like another delightful day! I had no idea the Swan hotel had karaoke! Is it on certain nights of the week? Must add that to my "to do" list on our next trip! Thanks for posting!
 
I think I saw the big DIS group at EPCOT on that day! I was with my parents and knew there was no way I could explain what a disboard is to them, so I kept walking.

Glad to hear you are having a great time, looking forward to the rest of the report.
 

I got to DATW a little late, just in time for the rain :( Karaoke was fun though :)
 
This was one of my favorite days, Marla! The Thrill Ride Tour was a great time - Patrick did a grand job keeping us all moving along!

I was just hitting my DATW stride when the rains came - but it sure was fun at Kimonos afterwards!

Nice to see your Mickey Bar count went up so much today! :)
