Finally made it

[Clifton Tesh]

We're not trying to rush or over plan anything. To be honest we didn't even set up fast pass. 1) because I do not like the system, you can not choose your times individually, it chooses them for you, all 3 at the same time. 2) we feel like rushing around to get to the rides and dining reservations would ruin our ability to relax and enjoy the parks.

The rides would be wonderful, but the themeing and atmosphere is why we came here. So if we ride, we ride, if we don't, I bet we still have a blast

We have all our dining reservations set up because I'm a fat kid and love my food

Today we are going to Hollywood studios, tomorrow the magic kingdom. Wednesday is Epcot, Thursday is magic kingdom again, Friday is Epcot again and Saturday is going to end up being animal kingdom since we didn't get here in time yesterday.

We drove so I'm driving to all the parks except magic kingdom. I've heard its so much easier and quicker to just bus it to magic kingdom.

Better late than never. Enjoy your honeymoon.

Tomorrow morning we will start our adventures in the parks. I bought 7 day tickets, but only 6 will get used. Oh well, at least I'm at Disney

So your new bride took ALL DAY yesterday getting ready? You posted that she said she'd by ready to go to the parks at 7am, but it was already 730ish, and she still had a least a half hour before she'd be ready.

Or did "other activities" take priority?

You can change the times the FP+ system assigns to you. Or even change the rides/attractions you originally picked.

But I agree the system is too structured for people who just like to go with the flow.

Lol, other activities occurred after we got to Disney. Our late arrival was caused by an over turned tractor trailer in Hardeeville SC. He blocked the highway up something awful. Took us 2 hours to drive 6 miles.

As I told her, if she would of been ready on time, we could of possibly been hit by the tractor trailer. So, her running behind quote possibly saved us from being in an accident.

My mistake. I thought you were already at Disney yesterday morning.

My mistake. I thought you were already at Disney yesterday morning.

It's all good our intentions were you be here Sunday morning, but we were too tired to keep driving.

If this works, I'll post more as I get the chance

Your bride! She's absolutely gorgeous! You hit the jackpot, sir!

If you take the bus to the MK, it will drop you off at the front gates. Otherwise, you need to park at the MK, take a tram to either the mono-rails, or the Ferry. Plus, I think they have preferred parking now, so you will be even further away from the Ferry Boats and the mono-rails. We usually drive to all the parks too, but with the MK, we do take the bus.

Yes I did. I still think she was crazy when she said I do! But now she's stuck with me

2 things I learned today

1) Body Glide is well worth the investment

2) It doesn't matter if you know you're going to be instantly launched down the track on RnR Rollercoaster or not, it's going to surprise the crap out of you anyways! (Y'all have fun laughing at my face because I haven't stopped laughing yet! )

Went to go see Muppet vision 3D because I absolutely love the Muppets, I was not disappointed. When the 2 old geezers showed up in the balcony, I smiled ear to ear!

My dad's name is William, his sisters call him Billy, and he goes by Bill...so when I saw this, I busted out laughing!

We have a lot, I'm a food junkie. To be honest I don't remember all of them. Tomorrow is 2 the wife picked, 50s prime time and the dine in. (I think that's their names, they're the 50s themed restaurant and the drive in themed restaurant at Hollywood studios)

Sci Fi Dine In is one of our faves and a must do every trip. I love the steak with Bleu cheese- think about it often!

How's the weather? We'll be there next week.

We ended our evening in the most magical way possible.

And then the guy said to stay and watch them transform the castle...

All I can say is wow! That was truly magical.

Can't really give an update on magic kingdom. Maybe things will go better Thursday.

We got in the park at 1130 and were out of the park by 3. I told her tomorrow I'm renting a wheel chair and pushing her around the parks.

We had lunch at BoG, the themeing was freaking cool but the food left something to be desired. Also, I did get to ride BTMRR and It's a Small World.

Here's an upside down picture for you.

It'll go better if you aren't standing on your head the whole time

You know, I thought the same thing!

I've managed to rack up some buttons

I'm absolutely in love with EPCOT! I did not know that we were coming during the Flower and garden festival, that was some unexpected magic. The place is absolutely beautiful.

We had lunch at Bier Garten, what can I say... Meat, cheese, potatoes, and beer, is there anything else a man needs?

Yes, yes there is. Caramel! Don't worry, they had that covered too.

My wife loves the lion king, and while it was not Tom's job, Tom followed us up the path about 200 feet to take this picture for us. Tom, I don't know if you read the DIS boards, but if you do, we thank you very much.

And to finish off the evening, we decided to eat with the fishes. The food was wonderful, the service was exceptional, and the view was unbelievable (I love aquariums).

I believe I have found my Disney home! I need to come back sometime and enjoy the beers around the world.
