After doing the 'marathon' with the parks all day Sat. and Epcot on Sun., decided to hit MGM on Mon. Another one of our fav's.
Saw Beauty and the Beast - love it although it seemed as if they had shortened it abit(I would understand especially as hot as it gets), and did the 'Tower...', loved the 'added' drops compared to when it first opened. RNR was cool, albeit loud for 'some of us'. Characters were everywhere! Kids will love that part of it! Our lunch ps were for PrimeTime. Lobby was crowded so we assumed the rest would be. Almost sad, some of the moms and dads had to call our table to join in and sing in another 'corridor' because they had empty tables around them. Uncle Dave was good, and the food fine. He was busy in our 'area' and didn't have alot of time for refilling and such. ok though, we still like PrimeTime, just lacked the 'umph' this time.
Tues was DQ and the Marketplace. DQ was great for the teens albeit a dissapointment for a toddler. Wish we had known. But knowing every family is different, it may be great for someone else.
Day 5...What a day! Did 3 parks in one day!
Started at MK. This is where we met 'poor' Frank. Along with some others. We were standing in line in Poohs ride (the FP) was a long FP line and some people cut in front of the whole line. Some NY folks told them where the end was, and they said they had been waiting along time(as had all of us), the cm when told about it did nothing. Very disheartening when you've waited. Then at Mickeys Philharmagic, a very rude cm told us to come back when our FP said it was time to come. My watch said it was time, her clock was off a minute...then she let the next family come with our same time on it...Now I know folks, if the time was off we shouldn't have been there...but 1 minute? And then to let the next family in? Then she mouthed to my husband to "Watch the time next time....." where is the Disney Spirit? But it was ok, we weren't mad, just shocked...Then we met Frank..We were leaving at 11am, NO one was at the gate to leave, Franks by himself, I'm smiling ear to ear (Make lemonade out of lemons is my saying), He pointedly says "Stamp Hand, open gate, Stamp Hand Open gate, that's all I do. " Bless his heart, he was miserable. My kids are still laughing about him. I hope he asks for a transfer soon!
Then we ran to AK, did a Bugs Life (still a favorite) and the parade. Seemed hotter over there, so make sure you take your water bottles/fans!
Then we went to Epcot - to see the World. Once again, it's never a disappointment over there. The toddler got a certificate from the "Crown and Chess?" store when she found 5 hidden crowns (England I think), the statue in Italy was hysterical (she really has a hidden talent!) and the kids in China are really contortionist!
By the time we left, we were pooped.
Day 6 would be a day of rest....
And although we had some disappointing moments to be sure with some cm's, it must be noted that there are thousands of Wonderful cm's, and everyone has a bad day, so...we just hit more than one on a given day. Most genuinely do a GREAT job at what they do.
Our vacation would be over in two days. We wait so long, it does fly doesn't it....Been there, Done that, and Definately Going Back!
