HI,
Just got back, wish I was still there. I REALLY dont want to go back to work tomorrow. Here is my trip report:
Day 1
landed at MCO at 4:30 and was met at the end of the escalator by the happy limo guy. Beautiful white stretch limo with soda and a movie all ready for the kids. We went to POR stayed in room 1806. I love this resort. We changed into shorts and went to DTD and had dinner at the rainforest cafe. I loved it. then did some shopping and back to POR for swimming.
Day 2
went and got my stars and stripes theme park passes and went to BB. My mom hates the water but we talked her into going on the lazy river. she no sooner got into her tube and there was a little snake trying desperately to get out of the water. the lifeguard called on her walkie and 3 CM's came and got rid of it. My mom hates snakes. Went on a few of the rides. I didnt brave the summet plummet. Personally I like typhoon lagoon better. then we went to Disney Quest. There were a few good virtual reality games there but overall I wasnt impressed with disney quest.
Day 3
storybook princess breakfast at EPCOT in norway. This was wonderful. We saw snow white, mary poppins, jasmine, belle, & mulan. Then we hung out at EPCOT the rest of the day. Test track is a blast. We went to all the countrys in WS and my kids got there passports stamped in every country. We saw "the beatles" in the UK. they sounded alot like them and they were wonderful. I love the beatles. We also saw Paul Revere and the Raiders. they only sang 3-4 songs but they were also wonderful. stayed for illuminations. didnt have a big dinner, just had hotdogs.
Day 4
Magic Kingdom. dont stand right in front of the castle for the fireworks, its not a good view as the fireworks were behind the castle and didnt go high enough for us to see. everything else there was great. we had dinner at the crystal palace which was great.
Day 5
Back to EPCOT for the mothers day brunch ( tons of food, couldnt eat it all) But it was all wonderful. I love having dessert for breakfast.
then we went to MGM. My dad jumped a foot out of his chair at honey I shrunk the audience. that was hilarious. we had dinner at the 50's prime time cafe, where "cousin scott" was our waiter and introduced us to our "other cousins from colorado" who were sitting at the table next to us. I loved this restaurant.
Day 6
animal kingdom...wonderful... got my mom on the kali river rapids and afterwards she said "that wasnt so bad".. she didnt get soaked, me and my youngest DD did. Saw a walking tree, that was cool. we were able to catch all the shows. Flights of wonder, festival of the lion king, pocohontas, and tarzan rocks. I didnt care much for tarzan. the music was too loud and I like loud music but this was just too loud. the rest of the shows were great. The primevil whirl was fun. Out of all the parks I went to I had a 20 minute wait for Primevil whirl and that was the longest wait. I did take advantage of the fastpass. then we went to DTD and had dinner at Planet hollywood. that was loud but great. food was wonderful.
Day 7
went home this day but the limo didnt pick us up til 2pm so we slept in a little and checked out at 11am. then just walked around the resort taking pictures and had lunch until 2pm. I did see a pelican eat a snake, that was cool. The snake was huge and this pelican just kept throwing it and pecking at it, then ate it. I thought this was interesting as I had never seen anything like that before and I dont care for snakes. The flight home was much better then the flight down except my oldest DD had alot of trouble with her ears. they hurt her so bad she was crying and her left ear didnt pop until sometime today.
well if anyone has any questions just ask.
