Jeez, those Epcot lines are CRAZY! Even in summertime it's not quite like that, at least not at that time of day. I think we both met the same Mulan

Day 8 Saturday AK/MK

Today is Saturday , i Had originally Planned to go try out the WinterSlumberland Mini-golf course . But... I got up too early and Didnt Feel like Waitig for it to open .. So I decided to got ot AK Instead . Im Glad i did!! it was the most UN crowded Park i Saw this trip . first i decided to meet Lilo And Stirtch , since i hadnt met Lilo yet , cause her line was always Insanely long I did everest , Kilamanjaro, Dinosaur , its Tough to be a bug . and wandered the Majaharanja Trek. the Tigers are cool man . even if they are just sleeping in a corner LOL
aound 2pm i headed for the MK . I know i must be INsane to go there on a Saturday Afternoon . I just wanted to see just how Bad it was . i arrived just in time for the Disney Dreams come true Parade so i watched the end of it at the front . Shortly After I checked the Lines and Saw 70 minutes on Big thunder 50 minutes on Splash. Peter Pan 60 minutes , Pooh 60 minutes . indy Speed way 60 mintues . SPace Mountain 80 Minutes!! . Needless to say i wont be doing MK on a Saturday again if i can Help it . and Wishes this night Was Only a Partial Show Because the Wind was Blowing toward the crowd , they dont have the Elements on the Castle or Fantasyland . Basically all you get is the Barge Fireworks But. it wasnt All bad though : Pic Time

DAY 9 DHS/ Party #2

Today i started in DHS the Park wasnt TOO Crowded. it was a PM EMH so the crowds held off till later in the day. well I learned my lesson the other day and RAN to Toy Story Mania . Grabbed a FP right away it told me to come back 10-11 wich wasnt bad . But the standby Line wasnt long yet so i waited for it . 30 minutes . Glad i did it was worth it . then I was able to come right back with my FP . 2 wice in one hour i was quite proud of myself LOL . then i headed for Tower of Terror Waited about 15 minutes . i didnt feel like riding Rokin Roller Coaster. The rest of the Park was Great !!! I Walked right on to Great movie ride, Star tours, And Muppets 3D . then i decided to eat lunch at Toy Story Pizza Planet . Next i did the Back lot Tour . By then it was only 1:00 but i had already done what i wanted to do so i decided to head back to the Hotel for a Break. I must Say though the HAt characters at DHS were kinda Disappointing this year , just the Basics nthing Rare or unusuall like its famous for. oh well mabey next year at the hotel i turned on the TV and , well first i got the Top 10 girl LOL then i remembered it was Sunday so i tuned in to the Dolphin game wich they won around 3 pm i Headed to the MK i will stay for the Party Again!! .
> i must say this time the Party was very un-crowded . what a difference from the Sold out Party on Tuesday the Lines were Low . this time i Enjoyed the Party a lot more . i didnt see All the Chartacters i saw on tuesday though . i guess different parties have Different Characters
i did Find Woody , Bullseye , and Jessie in the Diamond Horseshoe I left around 10 there wasnt much of a line this time for the busSurprisingly

DAY 10 Its my Final day in the Parks ( sad )

Today I Had A Very EARLY ( lol ) Reservation At the Crystal Palace . it was Kinda Hard to roll out of bed at 7 am ater Bieng at the Party the Night Before . But i Somehow Managed to do it LOL . I didnt make it t o the MK till About 8:15 for some reason i took my time But i was Seated in about 5 minutes . and Went and got Some Waffles , Bacon , sausage , Bannanas . and Donuts . the Food here isnt a 5 Star Breakfast of course , but i came for the Character interaction mostly so its Worth it : The first one to Visit mr was Eeyore . he has Big Ears so i was trying to Hide in them LOL . Next to show up was Piglet he was full of energy. a few minutes later they all, had the little "Parade" thing they do. and of course i twirled the Napkin , i looked like an idiot but didnt care Next Pooh Came to Visit . Hes cool . and Finally Tigger showed Tapped my shoulder . and we had a Nice Little visit. I must say the Crystal Palace wasnt Too busy at this hour . dont know if it Picked up later but it was a very nice Experience. And Now As of January ,its going to be the Only Character Meal in the MK . .
well theres Cinderellas Royal Table ,but im not really in to Princesses, and it Costs Twice as much So ill probally skip that one
> i got done Eating around 9:15 or so i Decided to Start the Day the Opposite of my Regular routine, in Adventureland . Man let me tell you i should Always do this . it was Dead , not a soul, Untill i got closer to Pirates of the Carribean wich was 5 minutes at the worse. after tha i went on the Jungle Cruise wich was a Minimal wait and i walked the Swiss Family Treehouse . the Magic Carpets went Down For Refurbisment today ,. wich i already knew about.but it seemed weird , cause i know it was open for the Party the night before .but Now all of a sudden its down. i guess , when they say Today it going down it going down that means TODAY , not a minute before LOL.
the rest of the day was Pretty Manageable . Surprisingly Today was the Slowest day in the MK of my Whole trip . Mabe i shouldve waited a week . Hmm ,ill think about that next time.
> Oh!!! i got a Wonderful Surprise Today , when i was coming off of Splash Mountain i got One of These !!! :

wich made life a Lot eaisier , i didnt use the Mickeys philharmaic , or the Stitch one, didnt need them . but took advantage of all the others
