Just back from the World

[MickDaddy]

Hi, just back from a wonderful seven days at WDW. Had a great time, great weather, and great crowds. Be happy to answer any questions.

Do you plan to write a trip report?

Welcome back

 

[MickDaddy]

Still putting it together, hopefully done in next day or two.

do the parks have anything for Kim Possible yet? (my mom's heading that way in Novemeber to see her friend and hopefully will go to the Disney Store )

 

[MickDaddy]

Yes, Plenty of Kim dolls and assorted toys and collectibles. Downtown Disney, and most of the gift shops at the parks are well stocked.

Do you have any extra park maps that you'd like to get rid of? We are going in December and my kids are dying to get their hands on the new park maps--our last trip was 2000.

Thanks!

Did you do Mission Space??? What were the wait times (average) on the rides? Also, any particular place you had dinner that you may want to recommend?

We rode MS several times last week, average wait time was about 20 minutes- sign said 45 minutes. Ride is very good! Lot's of warnings regarding not to turn or move head forward, not to look to side or close your eyes. Of course I tried all of these no no's and noticed a little "dizziness" when I did them. Launch was best part for me!
Went on Buzz Lightyear about 5 times in a row one day, wait was as long as the walk to the ride. I would guess average wait time was about 10 minutes, longest line we saw was for Jungle Cruise, I would guess about 1/2 hour.
We ate at Palio's (Swan) for our anniversarry on 9/13. Excellent service and meal!

Sorry, didn't bring any extras, but i think the DIS site has a section to download park maps. If not do a search for park maps, I know there are plenty on line. We like to keep our park maps so we can recreate the parks in Rollercoaster Tycoon 2.

We also rode Mission Space several times, DW got ill and was done for the day, however DD and I rode multiple rides without any problems. The trouble was that the lines were so short we essentially walked through the queing area right to the preview area, did this two time in a row, with lead to a little bit of vertigo since the recovery time was so short. None the less it was a great experience.

Also had a fabulous meal at Shula's steakhouse. It was my birthday and they treated my DW and I to a free chocolate souffle' a specialty of the house, and a great meal at Fulton's Crab House.

We are leaving this week, and was wondering if Rock n Roller coaster has reopened since rehab?

 

[MickDaddy]

Yes it has. Opened this pst Monday. Rode it multiple times for the first time and loved every minute. Again the crowds were minimal during the week, essentially walk right up the the preview area and onto the ride.
