12/29 - Woke up before the sun again (before the alarm clock even!) While DH was taking shower hoped over to the food court for some bagels and juice. Headed out to Animal Kingdom for early entry privilages. Safari ride was a favorite as well as the rapids. Really enjoyed the walking along the trails and seeing all the animals. Disappointed to find out that the food court in DinoLand is really McDonalds. I've been trying to keep my weight down and loose some more so while i was planning on not depriving myself of anything at WDW food wise I was dissapointed that I had to waste a food choice on McDonalds. (have to admit this was are fault for not planning well) I knew there weren't a lot of food choices in AK. Got a fastpass for the Dinosour ride. For those that have been to Disneyland it's very similar to the Indiana Jones ride but I would say that Indiana jones is better (just an opionion). Liked this ride but thought that the sound could have been taken down a few decimals. I was holding my ears during part of the ride cause it was so loud.
Headed back to POR around 4 for a well deserved nap. Couldn't wait to get to Mk so we headed there around 8pm. The parade was going on so we took our chance and headed for Tony's Restorante for dinner. Again no Priority seating and walked right in. Got out intime to see the fireworks. Then it was time to be salmon swiming up stream. Tried to head to Micky's Philharmagic but got stopped dead in our tracks. Back tracked and headed to POTC. Have to say that I was dissapointed. The ride is different than at Disneyland. I sure people who are used to the Mk ride would say the same for the Disneyland ride. Then headed towards Haunted Mansion. Didn't mind the differences so much here. I like the look of the house better at WDW but the decorations outside at Disneyland (bigger graveyard). Finally went for Philarmagic(spelling?) One of our favorite's out of all the parks. Park was still packed at 11. Tried to hit some of our favorites in fantasy land but DH kept say why go on it we're just going to be disappointed cause it's different. Headed over to the Buzz lightyear ride managed to get on before the park closed at 12. Lots of fun. DH was shocked that I got more points than him. Time to go back to POR for bed.
12/30 - Decided to sleep in and then go to Disneyquest. The rides that we got to go on were really cool but it seemed that alot of rides were broken or had to rebooted. Well the early mornings and late nights we're taking their toll on me. Headed to WolfGang Pucks for lunch. Good food decent services. Decided I was just to tired to have fun so went back and passed out for a few hours. Headed to MGM that night to finishing seeing what we had missed. Really like the Great Movie ride and Fantasmic(much better than Disneyland) By 10pm we were wiped out and ready to head back to POR.
Stay tuned for Days 5 and 6
Just a Note was really displeased that McDonald's has such a strong hold on the parks. There were McDonald's Frie's booths in all the parks. I can understand AK as they helped finance the Dinosour ride but all the parks, Yuck!
