This is my report from my WDW trip with my family. We had a long drive from Ohio down so we left real early. We arrived at WDW and Pop Century at around 8:00pm. We got a room in the 50's section next to the bowling pin pool. I really liked our room except the fact that our T.V. remote didn't work. But other then that nothing else was wrong. The next day we went to the Magic Kingdom. We started out in Tommorowland. We basiclly walked on Buzz which was a first for us. We usually wait 30min or get a FP. Next we did the TTA and then Stitch. I thought it was pretty good and the rest of my family thought so too. Next we did Space Mountain and the Indy speedway. Next we went into Fantasyland and did Pooh and Mickey's PhillharMagic. Next we went on Small world. This was the first time we had riden it since it's rehab and I thought it looked much better. Next we went in to Liberty Square and the Haunted Mansion. A funny thing happened on this ride. At the hitchhiking ghosts scene when the the ghosts look like their in your car, the ride stopped to get a handicaped rider off. It was kind off funny because we were just sitting there with the ghost in our car. After we got off we had dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern. It was a good dinner. Next we got a FP for Splash Mountain and then went on Big Thunder Mountain. Both were great. We then got a spot for SpectroMagic which was great also. We then got our EMH wristbands and quickly got a spot for Wishes. After that we started our EMH with Buzz, Space Mountain Phillharmagic and the TTA. After that we were tired and went back to Pop Century. Tommorow- MGM with the Fantasmic Dinner Package.

Today was our second day of parks and we went to MGM. First we went and got FP for Tower of Terror and then got in line for Rockin' Roller Coaster. They are great rides and they didn't dissapoint me. Next we walked back to Muppets and Star Tours. Later we got on the backlot tour before going to see Lights Motors Action. My family liked the show and were suprised when the hero car jumped out of the building during the finalie. The one dissapointment of the day was the Narnia walk through. I'm sure it would have been cool to go through when the movie came out and even before the DVD came out. There just wasn't a lot there to see. A little later we went to Hollywood and Vine for dinner. After dinner we had time to burn until we had to go to Fantasmic, so we did the Great Movie Ride. This is always a fun ride to do but our car got stopped in the between the Tarzan scene and the Casablanca Scene. After that we headed over towards the front of the park where we had to enter for the reserved seating for Fantasmic. The show ran perfectly until the end where the steam boat comes out. There was some kind of explosion that looked like it was from those sparklers on the side of the boat, but I'm not sure. So anyway another great day at the parks topped of by Fantasmic. Next- A break from the parks and a trip to Downtown Disney.

Thanks so much for your day report

 

[javamom]

What a wonderful trip! I love going to Hollywood and Vine for the Candlelight Processional too.

After sleeping in a little bit, we decided to head over to Downtown Disney. We went into Disney Quest since we haven't been there since 2002. I have to say I was kinda dissapointed this time. I mean cyber space mountain, virtual pirates of the carribiean and jungle crusie were all right, but everything else was pretty boring. After we left Disney Quest I ran in the Cirque store to see what was in there. I really wanted to see La Nouba on this trip but I didn't. Hopefully next time. We walked down towards the world of disney store. It really amazing how much disney stuff you can fit in one store. After browsing through some more stores we headed back to our hotel. We went in the pool and just hung around the resort. Just a really short and quiet day. Tommorow- Typhoon Lagoon and Crush'n Gusher.

Today we went to Typhoon Lagoon. When we got off the bus, we got a locker and went straight to Crush'n Gusher. This ride was cool. I went on it 3 times. Next we did Humuga Kowabunga(if I spelt that right I can't beleive it). That was fun also. In fact most of the slides there were fun. We thought we would hit the wave pool before lunch. We got in but there wern't any waves coming. I think we waited 15min and there were only small waves. We decided to come back later and went to have lunch. After lunch we took the lazy river once around and then headed back to the wave pool. It was spiting out big waves again so we got right. Those waves are amazing. After a couple more slides we headed back to the hotel, changed and headed over to Epcot and eat at Germany. After walking around World Showcase a bit we headed back to the hotel. We had a reservation at Boma at AKL in the morning. Tommorow- Boma, Animal Kingdom, and Everest.

Hi, glad you posted and said you were with your family, who does your family consist of. If you want that to remain private that's okay too.

Enjoying your report. How was the food at Hollywood & Vine, over on the Dining review, it is going about 50/50 right now.

 

[Stitch's Boy]

My family consits of my dad, mom, and sister. Oh and Hollywood and Vine was pretty good.

 

[Stitch's Boy]

We got up early today and went to Boma at AKL. We really liked it. After that we went over to Animal Kingdom. The first thing we did was the safari. I really thought the line for the safari would be shorter because of EE but it wasn't. Of course we went to Everest next. This coaster was amazing . The Yeti was awsome as well. I never see anything move that fast before. After Everest we did the asian jungle trek and then headed into Dinoland and hit Dinorama and Dinosaur. I saw some street performers outside Dinorama also. I don't know who they were but they were fun to watch. Before we left, we did kali rapids. I got drowned! I got hit by a gyser right after the lift hill and got hit by the wave from the drop. Oh well, we left Animal Kingdom and decided to head over to MGM. We did Muppets, Star Tours, Great Movie Ride and Tower before we left to go back to our hotel. Tommorow- Epcot and Soarin'

I think this is a joke they play on me anytime i stay on property ! My remote control NEVER works..the batteries are ALWAYS dead..lol...its no big deal except my neice needs the tv on to fall asleep but Im a liht sleeper so it wakes me up in the middle of the night so a remote makes turning off the tv in pitch darkness alot easier

At last we made it to Epcot. Of course the first thing on our list of things to do is Soarin'. We went there first and waited in the stand by line because it wasn't that long. The ride was great and it's now one of my favorites. We left the land and went over to Space and Test Track. We got FP for Track and did the orange team version of space. I still think that Space is an awsome ride and is something I will do everytime I visit Epcot. We returned to Test Track which was great as well. I just noticed on this trip that on the sides of the cars, they have a sticker that says which GM manufactuer the car is being tested for. Our car was for Saturn. After that we did Universe of Energy, Space Ship Earth, Imagination and Living Seas. My dad really wanted to see the Turtle Talk show but I was the only one who wanted to go with him to see it. So the two of us waited to see it. That show is funny and just amazing. Crush started to make fun of the guy who gave the microphone to the kids so they could to talk to Crush because he kept giving the microphone to the wrong kids. So Crush we be on one side of the room and the other guy would be on the other Anyway, before leaving Future World we went back to the Land and did circle of life and the boat ride. Now we went on to World Showcase were we did the canada circle vision movie, American Adventure, Malestrom, and the Mexico ride. I don't remember what it's called. One thing that we didn't do was the movie in France. I heared it's good and I thought it would cool to see. Oh well I guess next time. Later we had dinner at Le Celuiler. I don't know if I spelled it right but the food was good. Our waiter said she was from Quebec and she was nice and told us what she thought was the best stuff on the menu. After the great dinner we did some more exploring around World Showcase before Illuminations. Illuminations was another great end to another great day. It's a good thing I have the soundtrack. . Tommorow- Blizzard Beach, Chef Mickey's and more.
