So, this time we all decided to stay at the Wilderness Lodge Villas. I have stayed there at least once before, we love it! This trip was me
my sister Danielle (Dani)
my brother Josh
my cousin Christiane
and my boyfriend Jim
. We got a two bedroom villa. Our trip down was pretty easy. Flew AirTran and had seats together. Actually the guy sitting with the boys worked for ABC. We got there in the evening on Friday, unfortunately it was the only flight we could get. We checked in and then went down to the Roaring Fork for a snack. The next day we went to Epcot. The weather was perfect. We rode Test Track, drank around World Showcase. We started with margaritas, then did the red wine flight in Germany as shots. Then we coasted through America drinking beer and Bacardi Silver. It was quite a day. We tried to ride Mission Space but after waiting 40 minutes they told us the ride had broken down and the wait would be longer. We rolled out and put it off for another day. We had reservations for 9pm at Citricos. Unfortunately due to transportation problems we didnt get there til 945. Fortunately they still seated us and we had a fantastic evening. The next day it was just 4 of us because
ditched us to go be with her boyfriend. So we went to MGM. We had lunch at my favorite place, Sci Fi. They have the BEST cheeseburger I have ever had. I always get it. We drank some glowing drinks. Then wandered around. Hitting Sounds Dangerous, The Great Movie Ride, etc.
had never been to MGM so it was fun to show him everything. The next day was Animal Kingdom.
still wasnt with us because she was still with her man even though she was supposed to come back in the morning. I wasnt too happy about that. We rode the safari ride and did Dinosaur and Primeval Whirl and lunch at Rainforest. Remember, if there is a long wait and you dont mind sitting at one of the hightop tables in the bar you can sit there right away. No wait! That night we just opted for room service. We stayed in and played poker.
finally returned around 10 that night. Whoopdee Doo. The next day we made a pool day. And if I didnt get the weirdest tanlines! I still dont understand them! I had no color from mid foream to my hands! How does that happen when your hands arent covered? I dont know. That night we went to Downtown Disney. We were going to eat at the HOB but it was closed for a private function. So, we ended up eating at Portabello Yacht Club which was phenomenal. We strolled around a bit then headed back to the room to play MORE poker! The next day we finally made it to the MK. It was a bit crowded. We had to Fast Pass Space Mountain and Splash Mountain. We hit all the main rides except the Fantasyland ones. The only thing we saw there was Philharmagic. But it was AMAZING!!! I cant wait to do it again! The best! We did lunch at the place over in Frontierland. Wild Bill's or something. I cant remember. In all my years, I have never eaten there! It was good stuff. For dinner we ended up having soft pretzels at the park (everything was sold out!) and then getting more food back at the Fork. Let me say, the Fork was a lifesaver this trip for quit eats. We didnt leave MK before seeing Wishes though. Can I say that any of you who havent seen it yet, it is the BEST thing I have ever seen at Disney, fireworks wise. It gave me chills. My favorite is the part with the
. So the next day it was back to Epcot. More drinking around and finally.........MISSION SPACE!!! We fast passed it right away. So when our time came up we were on in like 10 minutes. It was
,
, and
.
was so worried that he was going to puke that he grabbed a puke bag as soon as we got in the simulator. I will say, the first 30 seconds is the worst. I thought i might puke. But the next 3 and a half minutes is amazing! If you want to know more, drop me a note and I will tell you. But I dont want to spoil it here for those who dont want to know. That night we had dinner at California Grille. We had a 9:40 priority seating but we didnt get seated til after 10. Dinner was great as always. I had the barbeque filet, as always. I got really tired though from such a long day. I headed back right after and went to bed. The next day we did the pool again and I made my body's front match my body's back....crispy. We only stayed out for a few hours because we had to go downtown to get the Lennex Sleeping Beauty fairy statues that came out that day. The artist was there to sign them and my dad wanted them. So we got there around 2:30 and fortunately the people at the Art of Disney said we could just buy them and they would make sure they were signed before they were shipped. Yay! No waiting around! We then shopped around and headed to HOB for the meal we couldnt get the other night. It was good. I got some mushroom pasta thing. After that we headed back to our room to shower and change and nap a little, only to return to that area to meet some friends at PI. I personally only like going to PI once a trip. I really only dance at the BET club. But regardless, we had fun.
and
got pretty loopy i must say! The next day was our day to check out. Boo!!!!!!! We just had our luggage stowed and chilled at the pool bar until we had to go to the airport. Bye bye sunshine. Bye bye Mickey. Funny last detail. When we were at the security point at the airport my sister
set off the metail detector with the underwire in her bra. The female guard agreed it was the bra, but still insisted on running the backs of her hands down my sister's chest to be sure! Are they allowed to do that???? Anyway, she was most embarrassed. But now she has another story to tell at the bars! Well, folks, thats my story. I head back now in October. A girls trip! The boys are coming too, but they are tagalongs. They will do their own stuff anyway. But it should be fun because my friend Tif will turn 25 while we are there! So hope you enjoyed hearing about my trip! Take care and I WISH I WAS IN DISNEY WORLD BECAUSE MY SISTER IS THERE NOW!!!!!!!!
