Continued!
When we walked outside we were shocked. There had been a change in the air. It was odd.
On August 4, 2010, in Disney World, I was not hot at all!!!!
It was seriously perfect weather. It was maybe 80 degrees, and was so nice. Finally, we could admire all the lovely details we heard the World Showcase had wed only heard about them. Humidity clouds your brain
We went straight to the WS. We walked around and mom and dad wanted to stay in England and watch Off Kilter, who they really liked! Jess and I decided to see as much as we could so we started walking!
We walked back towards England when we passed China. Also, we photo-stalked these British guys!
Mom and Dad, meanwhile had met Pooh and Tigger. They look so happy, I love it.
Tigger tried to steal my mom
Poor guy
They also got PP somewhere Its nice, wherever it is!
Anyway, they texted us around 8:25, because people were starting to file in for Illuminations. We watched Illuminations once, but we didnt really like it We liked it, but felt that it wasnt worth the hassle of trying to get out and staying out late for. We werent staying for Illuminations that night either, and we didnt want to get trapped in the WS by all the people staking out their spots.
So we headed out of EPCOT
I love this picture :cloud9
I attempted to take pictures of SE at night, but most came out really blurry
Im proud of this one though!
We made it to the bus stop and were about to sit down, but the bus came! Yay! We were tired, but it was an AWESOME day! Even as Disney days go, this was especially good! We just had a bunch of fun and it was perfect!
When we came into AKLs gift shop (we would enter through there since it was closer to the bus stops) there was a CM who evidently loved her job. As we walked in, she yelled Welcome Home! Welcome Home! and was clapping and just happy! It was such a lovely welcome and a great way to end the day.
We went to our room and relaxed for a bit, but we were too tired to stay up too late. Also, Dad and I had a goal for tomorrow: Ride RNRC as MUCH as POSSIBLE! Would we do it??

Thursday was a bit different. Its become a tradition that while mom and Jess go back to AK for a second day, Dad and I go back to DHS. It just works out better for all of us and this day was one of my favorite days ever. Disney days are the best days, but this was even as especially good Disney day! It didnt start out that way, but it turned out amazing.
While we were having breakfast, we got a call from our neighbor who explained that our home phone wasnt working, and neither was my grandmas cell phone (who lives with us). We got it sorted out, but it delayed my mom and Jess. As a result, my dad and I were at the bus stop before them, and a bus came in less than a minute!
We had to stop at Blizzard Beach before going to DHS, but we got to DHS about 20 minutes before rope drop. We wouldve liked to be earlier, but it was all right!
We were let in and waited for the preshow.
Ahhhh palm trees! :cloud9
As we had to watch the stupid pre-show, we realized how far we were from the front. Definitely not as close as we were on the first DHS day. We hoped that we would be fast enough to RNRC for a short wait!
We were let down Sunset Blvd and I took some quick walking pictures.
We went into the RNRC courtyard
We stopped to get FPs first even though we normally ride first. Now we were pleased because it was a walk-on. HOWEVER, when we got into the alley, we saw that the line wasnt moving at all. Turned out the harnesses werent lifting, so they couldnt let anyone ride yet. We had to wait in the alley for twenty minutes
When we got off the ride, the wait time was already 50 minutes!
We settled for a pair of fastpasses with a return time that was pretty soon. We decided to go to Star Tours to cheer ourselves up. Usually we go on RNRC and ST as many times as we possibly can. The CMs by ST tend to know us by name by the end of the day
On our way to ST, we took some photopass!
I like this one!
So we went on ST (we are SOSOSO excited for the new version!) and it was fine. We also went to see Muppets, which, although not quite a headliner, I dont think anyone can go a day in DHS without seeing it
We browsed some shops (even though we are the most indecisive people we know and wouldnt buy anything) and then went to the Animation Building to kill time before we could get more Fastpasses, and also because my dad into art and drawing and all that jazz.
He liked these concept drawings for Rapunzels hair for Tangled, which wasnt out yet. I just saw it a few weeks ago and LOVED it! So cute!

Here was the view after we walked out of the Animation Building (I, for one, love the hat as DHSs symbol!)
We felt like we needed more RNRC and our time to get more FPs was up! So we headed back down Sunset Blvd and got more Fps but they were already for 5! UGH it was looking like I wouldnt be getting much RNRC today (oh but stay tuned
)
We started heading for Sci-Fi for our lunch ADR, sad that we didnt get to ride RNRC much so far.
We took these pictures, since we love the Middle. Im pretty much exactly like Sue (the daughter) so its a bit frightening to watch haha
We made it to Sci-Fi (I think this entrance looks like the one to TSM, but its Sci-Fis)
Now when we sat down, our waitress explained what we could get with the DDP and such, and she mentioned we could get milkshakes as our drinks. I couldnt imagine enjoying it with a full meal, but my dad decided to take advantage of the deal and got the Oreo one. When it came he convinced me to try it, and I fell in love with it It was seriously amazing, so I got one too! As a result, I didnt eat much of my meal, but it was worth it for that Oreo milkshake!
After lunch, we were refreshed and full and ready for RNRC We had our fastpasses ready from earlier that day, so we went down Sunset Boulevard!
We were ready with our fastpasses, but we noticed the single riders line for the first time. What an interesting concept I wonder if wed like it While thinking this, we were ushered into G-Force Records!
HAHA I love the pre-show video for RNRC, so weird. Anyway we went on RNRC and of course loved it! But we really wanted to go on again, so we decided to try the Single Riders Line to see if we liked it.
OMG THIS IS FANTASTIC. At 2:00 at a very crowded DHS, we were able to get on RNRC in twenty minutes!! Sure we were split up, but we ended up in the same limo! It was great!
Since we realized that we wouldnt want to use FPs for RNRC anymore, since we had single riders, we decided to get a pair of FPs for ToT since we liked it so much on Sunday!
Then we went back to ride RNRC single riders line!
The line was a bit longer than the last time, but still only about a half hour.
After our three RNRC rides in a row, we were ready for a bit of a rest. We went to the Animation Bluilding again because we like to do the drawings of characters.
We stopped for Photopass again! I think these came out cute!
We had to look serious
And this was while the PP person was making fun of me because I couldnt hold a straight face
Continued soon!

Continued!
When we went to the Animation Building, we got Eeyore. Mine actually turned it pretty good! My dads always comes out good, but I was proud of mine!
We had to get popcorn because DHS has the best popcorn, were convinced. And we have to get said popcorn from a specific stand, which is in front of the hat, a bit ahead of the wait times board. I dont care what anyone says, that stand has the best popcorn on Earth
It was during the Block Party Parade, so it was crowded but it was cool to see some of it. Were not really big parade people Maybe it would different if it was a heat index of 105 degrees every time were there
We wanted to sit and have our popcorn/water but we ended up trekking all over to Backlot Express. Its ok, we were in a great mood since we had Single Riders
After popcorn, we went to One Mans Dream. It always reminds me of Kingdom Keepers and I always study that desk for the pens
Then it was time to use RNRC fastpasses we had gotten after our first ride (when the harnesses werent working).
YAYY RNRC! Still my favorite never gets old! After using our fastpasses we went on Single Rider! Heres a picture of the single rider line (youre right next to the fastpass line)
After this we were all ready for another Single Riders, but the ride broke down So we looked in the shops on Sunset Blvd until it was up and running again. Then it was ready! We went through the Single riders line, even though our fastpasses for 5 wouldve been faster.
We were ready for our ToT fastpasses after this, since we wanted to save our RNRC fastpasses for our very last ride on RNRC (we wanted to sit together)
ToT was fun, but still not even close to RNRC! Now it was time for our last ride on RNRC of the trip I made sure to take some pictures
One of my favorite places in the world
We decided we had to wait for the front row for our last ride. Dad also decided to do something special for the ride photo FOOT!
So that was it. I wouldnt ride again until next year. We had broken our record of how many RNRC rides in one day though there was 8 today! That made 13 total in two days! It was awesome!
After our last ride it was 7 and we were feeling pretty wiped out. We were also missing mom and Jess. We decided to go back to AKL for dinner since they had gone back already (AK closes at 7). So we headed back down Sunset Blvd
We stopped under the hat to get pins as a present for mom and Jess. I dont have pictures but we picked out a Mickey one that Jess had been wanting and for mom we chose one that had Goofy and Donald as tourists in front of the Partners statue.
Then it was time to leave DHS
We got to the bus stop and the bus took a surprising fifteen minutes to get to us. Must have just left when we got there.
We had an awesome day. It was action-packed and just fun. We had laughed a lot and gotten on RNRC a LOT. We were pretty proud of our RNRC feat because it was BUSY. ToT had 100 minute waits almost all day and RNRC did too. TSM had two hour plus waits! But we were able to have SO much fun and we were really happy!
We got back to AKL and went to Mara. Jess and mom had just eaten, but they were kind enough to have ordered us flatbreads. YUM FLATBREADS. We had fun comparing stories of the day. We enjoyed the resort for the night and went to bed. We needed to rest up because sadly tomorrow was our last day, but we wanted to enjoy it the best we could!
Last day begins soon

When we got up Friday, we were dismayed to see the envelope of doom on our doorknob That was sad, but we knew we had a whole day ahead of us still!
We enjoyed this humidity-filled view of our balcony
I took some pictures of the lobby
We got ready, but we were a little slow for our goal of getting on the first bus to MK. But we got on the bus at 8:17. AND for anyone who has heard that AKL is too far from MK, we got to MK at 8:34. Only 17 minutes! So there
Got Photopass while waiting
We watched the pre-show!
Heres a video
opcorn:
Then we were let in!
The characters were walking along with all of us so that was cool!
Now after the picture of Aladdin was taken, Prince Naveen and Princess Tiana were next to us. Jess had forgotten to bring her birthday button that morning, but Prince Naveen turned to her, held out his hand and said..
Happy Birthday, Princess.
WE WERE FREAKING OUT. How in the world could he know that we were celebrating Jesss birthday?? It was serious Disney magic. We couldnt believe it, but there was no mistaking that he was talking to Jess specifically and he said Happy Birthday. It was amazing.
Heres a picture right after it happened, complete with Jesss smile haha!
We went straight to Splash Mountain, since Jess likes it again
We got fastpasses first and then we all rode stand-by. Here was our ride photo!
We rode Splash again after that! Then we went on BTMRR, which was great of course.
Continued very soon!

After that, mom and I wanted to do something we had never really done before :Tom Sawyers Island!
We went in all the caves!
Some other photos
We didnt find any paintbrushes, but it was interesting to go I suppose. I had never really explored the area, so it was nice to finally do that
We took the raft back to the rest of Frontierland
After being outside in the heat for so long, we were pretty wiped out. So we went to CHH and got a couple of drinks. We had a conversation with the CMs there, since we were the only customers at the time. Since we told them were from NJ, they replied with the inevitable question of What do you think of Jersey Shore? I think its ridiculous but it really doesnt bother me. I dont watch it, but I really dont care haha
We took our drinks upstairs of CHH
Our view
We saw the Keys to the Kingdom tour! My mom and I are going on this in August, but we didnt know it then. But I still pictures of the tour because I thought it was cool!
After chilling out for a bit we browsed through Fantasyland stores
Took this picture of the castle. How artsy of me!

I think we went to PhilharMagic too. We went on the carousel, which I’m sorry, it will always be
Cinderella’s Carousel to me!
: I got Cinderella’s horse!!
Some pictures of Fantsyland from the carousel
After the carousel we got a text from dad and Jess, who had gone to Tomorrowland. They were ready for lunch, and so were we. They wanted to go to Pinnochio’s Haus, so we headed there to meet them! The food was ok, we ate in our little upstairs alcove
:After lunch, we went to Space Mountain to use the Fastpasses that Dad and Jess had gotten for us
Here’s Dad’s ride photo
After Space Mountain, we walked to Toontown to take the train to Frontierland, since we had Splash Mountain fastpasses!
We had a great ride on Splash Mountain! Next we all had water because it was, of course, VERY hot! Then we took the train to Main Street since we wanted to rest at the resort for a bit.
Walked out of the MK
Now the previous picture was taken walking to the bus stop at 2:04, and our bus pulled up at 2:07!
Continued soon!

it's official. I will now be referring to the check out envelop as the envelope of doom from now on.You will love the Keys to the Kingdom Tour. I went on the tour in 2009 and thought it was amazing. Be sure to ask your CM to point out all the Hidden Mickeys on the rides you go on. They know some good ones you'd never find without them!

HAHA envelope of doom. They're so sad. Thanks for your KTTK tip! We'll be sure to ask! I'm just so excited for the tour; it's something interesting and different and I'm sure it'll be lots of fun! Thanks for reading again!

Made it back to AKL
We went back to the room and packed up for a bit. At around 3:30, this guy came around the corner!
Too cool! After packing up for a little more, Jess and I headed to the pool. We FINALLY had some time to swim without thunder ruining it! We had a lot of fun, its a really nice pool. At around 5, mom came to get us to get ready for our night.
At 5:46, we were headed out!
The bus came pretty quick and we walked into MK
We got Photopass in front of the Partners statue
Continued soon...I think I have two more updates!

Then we took a right and headed into Tomorrowland. We had Space Mountain fastpasses to use!
Little did I know that the previous picture would be the last I would take on my camera.
Yes, my bag dropped out of the train. I was in the front and neglected to loop the strings around my legs. As we went down the first hill (all the way on the top) I felt the bag drop. I was TERRIFIED that it would land on the tracks and hurt someone. PLUS I was terrified that my phone and camera, both of which were in there, were broken. It was a BIG drop. Because of all this, I wasnt able to enjoy my last ride at Disney I was immediately upset.
As soon as the ride ended I told my mom and dad and sister. We had to meet with the Space Mountain supervisor who said that they scan every ride every night after the park closes and could send the bag back to our resort. However, we were leaving the next day, so we had to fill out a bunch of paperwork to have it sent back to us. I was really upset and really sorry that I had forgotten to tie the bag around me.
Plus, lets face it, who doesnt want to throw a complete tantrum on the last night of Disney?! I just had an excuse to!
Anyway, we went to City Hall on Main Street and had to fill out paperwork with our address and description of the bag and its contents. They said to have our cell phones on for as long as we could, since they would call us the next day.
We went into the Main Street Confectionary next and I believe Jess and I each picked out something. I know I got milk chocolate pretzel clusters, which were AMAZING.
After that, we wanted to see if we could get in a little early for our 8:15 ADR at Ohana, so we went on the nice boat (which is very different from the TERRIBLE boat, which is from DHS) to the Polynesian.
I love the Poly. I need to stay there one day. Seriously. Just for like a night. But I need to. I love it.
We didnt end up getting into Ohana much earlier than our reservation, but that was ok. By dinner, I was happy again. However, I was a bit insane. This is why we have quite a few of unattractive Ohana pictures of me. Which I share against my good judgment, because Ive spent too much time typing without pictures.
Hot towels amuse me, apparently.
So do leis
Ohana champ, right here.
Love her
This was our cousin Brandon
My parents and Jess were given cupcakes for anniversary and birthday, respectively
We loved Ohana! It instantly became a tradition for us! Were going back for our last night this August too, and we cant wait. It was really one of the best experiences of the trip; its just a lot of fun!
After we got out of Ohana, Dad just had to take a picture next to this guy
We checked out the shops in the resort
Then we walked down to the beach and chilled out in the sand. Even though it wasnt like watching the fireworks right by the castle, it was still amazing watching them from the Poly. Its just different being able to sprawl out in the sand without being so close to other people and just enjoy the fireworks. Also, we only waited for maybe fifteen minutes, which is much better than staking out your spot on hot concrete for over an hour! We liked it a lot!
After the fireworks, we decided that we were too tired to go back for MK EMH. It was the perfect ending to the trip, so we were good with that! We headed back to the boat that goes to the MK. Then we went to the AKL bus stop. The bus of course came quickly, but we had to stand. The bus arrived at AKL at exactly 11:30.
We went back to the room and were too tired to stay up much. We packed up some more and went to sleep. And that was the end of our last full day at Disney World for 2010
Continued with the very last day and final thoughts soon...
