Friday 15th July 2005-this is our second trip to disney
we travel with travel city direct on a sunshine first flight. the seats are huge and the entertainment is wicked.
we arrive at the villa in Kissimee which is great and go and get some food from a local supermarket.
Saturday 16th July 2005
we get up and head straight for the magic kingdom it is some time before midday and is really hot and really busy. the monorail was quite packed full.
the first ride is pirates of the carribean and the queue was only ten minutes which was good.
we also walked straight into the enchanted tiki room.
in tommorow land the carousel of progress was a twenty minute wait.
space mountain was a 30 minute wait but turned out to be longer, so far we had not used fast pass.
Lunch was at peco Bills in frontierland, the queues were huge but we managed to find a seat.
we decided to queue up for the haunted mansion which was about thirty minute wait. this was a good ride.
we also walked stright onto the express train that goes around tommorowland.
that night we went outside of disney to logans road house in kissimee and had a great meal.
Sunday 17th July 2005
today we decided to hit MGM Studios. it was a little less busy here than magic kingdom.
we went to muppet vision 3D and had a twelve minute wait.
the Indiana jones stunt show we fast pass and had good seats, the show was great.
we did not fast pass the backlot tour and only queued for 30 minutes at the longest.
after that we managed to walk straight into the Lights motor action stunt show which was brilliant. everyone will love this. it was excellent.
we also did the great movie ride, this was quite a long wait, but it was good.
Monday 18th July 2005
today we decided to hit Typhoon Lagoon. it was very busy but we did manage to get a changing room but they had ran out of large lockers.
that evening we went to epcot and watched the fireworks, it was nicer at night because it was cool and less crowded and the lake looked nice lit up, however it was a race to get out before all of the crowds!
Tuesday 19th July 2005
before i carry on incase anybody did not know, you have to pay 8 dollars to park in disney for each park except the water parks, however once you buy a ticket it last all day at any of the parks.
today we did not go into disney. i think it was good that we had a break.
wednesday 20th July 2005
today we decided to get up and out early to go to the animal kingdom so that we would be able to the animals on the safari, we left early but there was quite a bit of traffic.
we got there and ffast passed straight away the rapid ride and then we headed for the safari, the queue said twenty minutes but it turned out to be 40!
anyway the safari was great and we saw most animals.
the tree of life with a bugs life had a ten minute queue which was great.
that evening we went back to MGM studios to try and watched fantasmic, but we got there half an hour before and it was already full and everyone was already seated!!!
Thursday 21st July 2005
today was Islands of adventure, this was probably the busiest park we have ever seen. we did NO rides.
all the fast passes had ran out early in the morning and some of the rides were broken down beasue of the heat and the volume of people riding them!
so we decided to go next door to universal studios, it was a BIT less crowded and manages to walk onto Twister, and we had a half hour wait for Back to the future and Jaws and we fast passed earthquake which was excellent!
Friday 22nd July 2005
today we went back to the magic kingdom. we fast passed thunder mountain which was a seventy minute wait in stand by and we only had to wait for ten!!
we were here in the evening so the queues had died down.
we walked straight onto the jungle cruise which was great at night.
stitchs great escape said a twenty minute wait but turned out to be longer and out of the whole trip this was the most disappointing ride. we were angry for the first time on the trip becasue we had waited for so ling and were told it was a good ride but it wasnt . i would not waste you time or energy queuing for it.
we queued for thirty minutes for the railrroad but that was nice when we were on it.
saturday 23rd july 2005
we went to epcot for the day.it was the evening so the quese were short. we walked straight onto spaceship earth and the living seas and we looked around the world showcase until closing.
sunday 24th july 2005
today we went back to universal studios and waited only ten minutes for shrek 4D which was excellent. i would recommend it. we had got here at nine am so it was a bit quieter.
we then went back next door to IOA and did popeyes rapids which was a ten minute wait and ws great we got soaked through!!!
monday 25yj july 2005
at nine am we rolled up to the gates of epcot ready to pay our 8 dollars parking fee and the queue took twenty minutes to get through!!
anyway we and fastpass soarin; as the queue was 60 minutes stand by at nine thirty!
we went and queued for thirty minutes for test track which was a great ride.
we then made our way to blizzard beach, we were there in the evening so we did the family raft ride twice straight after we had just got off, there was no queue.
