We just got back from a 9 day stay at the world. Just a little info on what we did each day and my thoughts. Any questions, please feel free to ask.
Friday(05/27)
Arrived around noon and picked up or rental van. There was a total of 13 in our group. Arrived at the allstarvaction office to pick up our keys to our rental home. We stayed in a 6 bedroom house in Windsor Palms and it was GREAT. I do not think I could ever stay onsite again.
Saturday(05/28)
MGM Studios
Weather-HOT! Being from Texas it was no big deal. We left home and it was 95. We thought it would be a little cooler.
Crowds- It being Star Wars weekend it was not bad. We rode TOT first and we waited only 5 mins. Rock n Roller coaster was only a 10 min wait.
Stunt show-The show was great and should not be missed.
In all it was a great 1st day in the world!
Sunday(05/29)
Animal Kingdom
Weather-Hot with a few clouds.
Lucky-The kids loved him. For me it was Ok.
We were able to do all the shows and rides by 4:00p.m.
Lion King-I never get tired of this show. It's still the best.
Tarzan- We thought we would see it again since it will be replaced early next year. It's about time, the show as run it's course. Several people got up during the show and left.
We were able to do all the major attractions and go home early and swim in our pool!
Monday(05/30)
Memorial day
Our day off...
We did some shopping at the outlets and at Downtown Disney and made some BBQ on the grill. A great day to enjoy with family and remember the men and women in our armed forces.
Tuesday(05/31)
Magic Kingdom
Weather-Rain the morning. It cleared around noon.
Crowds- Ok in the morning but got larger as the day went on.
Lunch-We ate at Liberty Tree Traven-The interaction with the characters was alot of fun. We had a great time. My sister and her husband were having there 2nd anniversary. They bought out a cake and announced it to the crowd. It was huge surprise for my sister. She cried..
We were able to complete all the attractions by 8:00 p.m. and get settled for Spectro and wishes. As always we had another great time.
Wednesday(06/01)
Universal Studios
Weather-STORM!!!! It rained all morning. We finally left to US around 1:00p.m.
Crowds-Small..I think the weather kept everyone in there hotels.
The park was open until 8:00p.m. We were able to most of the rides, except ET, Men in Black and Back to the Future.
Everyone loved Universal!
Thursday(06/02)
Islands Of Adventure
Weather-STORM(again)! Once again it rained all morning. We got to IOA around noon.
Crowds-The crowds were rather large. Most of the main attractions had 45-65 min waits. We used express pass and were able to do all the main rides by 7:00p.m. We headed back to Universal and were able to get on the rides we missed yesterday.
In all the kids really loved this place!
Friday(06/03)
EPCOT
Weather-It rained all day. At times it was heavy and sometimes it was lite rain.
Crowds-Very light. We did Test track and Mission Space before 10:00a.m. Each ride only had a 10 min wait.
Soarin- This was GREAT! I loved this ride. Do not miss the ride.
We left EPCOT @ 6:00p.m. The rain was a little to much and kids were starting to get tired. In all it was another great day in Disney!
Saturday(06/04)
Sea World
Weather-Rain!Rain!. It rained all day just like Friday.
Crowds-Once again they were light. Kraken only had a 5 min wait and Atlantis had no wait at all. We did all the shows and we were ready to leave @ 5:00p.m. Sea World was a nice change to all the thrill rides.
Overview- This was the 1st time we traveled with a large group and stayed in a rented house. It was one our best trips. Having the house was the best. There is no other way to go. The crowds were OK and were very managable. The weather could have been a little better but where else would you rather be? Rain or shine!! As far as Gay days. We saw plenty of red shirts and couples holding hands but that's it. The crowds were very polite and everyone was having a great time.
