July 4th in WDW: Day 1 - Arrival Day

[disboy21086]

Just Returned yesterday, and wanted to post while it's fresh in my mind.

Arrived at Logan Intl around 9:30am on Monday Morning, for my 11:30 Flight to Orlando. - No Problems, touched down @ MCO 10 minutes early, and was off the plane by 2:25.

Decided to get my own luggage rather than having Disney deliver it, only took another 10 minutes, then was on my way to the M.E. Counter. Line was Long but moved very quickly.

Was on a bus to the CR @ 3:00, and pulled up to the CR @ 3:55 after making 3 stops, Saratoga Springs, POFQ, and PORS.

I Orginally was booked in South Garden Wing room where I stayed for the 1st night. It was a handicap room, didn't have to many gripes about it, but I do like a separate shower/tub area and a locking door! Room was Clean though.

After I checked in, dropped the bags off in the room, and headed over to MK on the monorail.

Here's the 2nd day of my Vacation in WDW.

There's no better feeling in the world, then waking up and knowing your in Disney World. To open up your curtain and just stare at the Castle is breath taking.

Day started off Waking up around 9am, was out of the Room by 11am, and on the way to MGM to meet up with my Cousins (who were also in WDW the same time I was there). This was my little cousins first time in WDW, It's always more fun when your with someone who's never been.

First Duty of the Day @ MGM was to find them! Took a Little while but we eventually meet up after several cell phone calls, finding out exactly where they were.

We met up and had a quick Counter Service Lunch, and then made our way to "Lights, Motors, Action!".

OMG, This is one of the most incredible stunt shows I've ever seen in my life. The Stadium was filled, and the stunts were simply amazing. They were so flawless that I actually thought the Cars were on tracks, and not actually controlled by humans.

These drivers really know what they are doing!

The Show was a little over a half hour, and it was worth every minute of it. Would definetely recommend this to everybody if you haven't seen it yet, Definetely a "Must See Attraction".

After the Show, My Little Cousin was getting hot and tired, so his family went back to there resort (Coronado Springs) While myself and my friend stayed at MGM for the remainder of the Afternoon.

Next up was the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular (Can you tell that i'm in a Stunt kind of mood?). I've always loved this show, and it's always one of the first things I do at MGM. Waited about 10-15 minutes in line before being let in to the Theatre. Thank god while in line there were those misters keeping everyone cool, because it does get extremely warm mid-late afternoon.

Indi. was about a 30 minutes as well. After that, made our way onto Star Tours (another Favorite). 5-10 minute wait. But I do think they need to make this simulation a little longer, It seemed too short to me.

To close out the day at MGM, we made our way onto the Great Movie Ride (It never Changes, but I still Love it). 15-20 Minute wait. And then After that decided we needed to head back to the Resort ourselves for some relaxation.

Kind of a Quiet Night on 7/5 -- Went to Dinner at the Concourse Steakhouse in the Hotel. I had a Char Crusted Half Chicken Dinner, and my friend had Steak. Good Food, Service was kind of slow but they were Busy.

Went back to the room and called it a night and watched the MK Fireworks from the Balcony.

Day 3 will be posted Tomorrow. (Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, GF Dinner)
