This is going to be short and sweet (ok as close as I can get)

Dh-32 (2nd trip for everyone but my mom)
ds-3
ds-7
My Mom-- over 50 (first trip to WDW)
myself.. 31


Saturday: Arrived and checked in at Pop Century, got the 50s Lady building, was perfect, not too close but not too far.

Picked up mom from airport and then headed to MK, son and dh rode Splash and BTMRR 2 times each and we watched Spectro, we got soaked, but it was fun.

Sunday: UP and at MK just in time for the opening ceremony. Followed our TGM plans and never waited more than 10 minutes all day. Lunched at Columbia Harbour House, enjoyed the food.

Early night, came to hotel and swam.

Monday: Up early for Epcot, did FW in the morning (longest wait was for Soarin 15 minutes). Headed ove and did a couple of countries then went back for a quick break at the hotel, it was HOT and humid.

Returned for some more countries, dinner at Le Cellier, Mom and I saw the Commodores and we stayed for the fireworks! Great day.

Favorites: Soarin and the movie in Canada (which my dh liked more than Soarin).


Tuesday: AK day, Mom not feeling well, so we went ot our Breakfast with donald w/o her. After that my youngest and I went back to switch hotels to AkL and my dh and son stayed at the park and toured.

We were upgraded to Savannah rooms! and even got bunk beds in one of the rooms, it was perfect! Rooms weren't ready so we took my Mom and went back to Ak, we were able to fit in the rest of the tour plans and the only wait we had was at the Safari b/c it had been raining on and off and everyone wit a FP came back at the same moment.

We headed to the hotel around 4 found out we had savannah rooms and enjoyed time watching animals. My dh and i ate at Boma, we liked it (dining reviews on dining board)


Wednesday: REST DAY!
My oldest was supposed to do the Pirate Cruise but b/c of the rain they were going to do it on land and he decided to come back and play at the resort instead. My dh was ill this day so we explored the resort and had a good time.

Thursday: MK day 2
My aunt joined us today and we did the second half our MK plans plus some of the highlights from day one. Once again very short waits.
Lunched at Columbia Harbour House again.

Dh and I went on a date this night saw the second show at the comedy club in DTD and then went back to rest.

Friday: MGM
Didn't get there early enough and this ended up being a day where they had to wait 20 minutes to ride ToT and RNR... I saw Playhouse disney with my youngest while they did that.

We lunched at Mama Melrose, it was good.

Home and I had a massage at the AKL fitness center, my legs felt so much better! And we swam for a couple of hours. Dinner in Mara.

Saturday: Breakfast at Boma, took my Mom to the airport, had to check out and go stay in town at the really ugly Double TRee (the rooms were nice enough but man that place is ugly)

Took a couple of hours to finsih up our country tour of Epcot and then went to bed!



We had a great time even in the heat and humididty adn rain :)
