Just got back yesterday... Quick review for now
more details later
If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
MNSSHP - a lot of fun - but we needed to do two nights to get everything done we wanted to do. The MMC shirts we made we great - everyone got a kicked out of it ... one cast member even asked us to sign the theme song (my DH did not comply) - but a blast no matter what.
LTT - Character Dinner - Great as always - they sang Happy Birthday to my dad (he had one of the pins on) - characters had good interaction with us - Chip "the Spidermunk" (as he signed my book) & Minnie asked for our Pal Mickey so she could hug him... Pluto is an excellent charades player and asked how old my dad was - 62 - and he had us guess how old he was (75)... very fun interaction...
Ohana's - breakfast - a bit expensive for what we ate - but I loved the idea of seeing Stitch so easily. So worth it for us. The cast members there were great.
Ohana's - Dinner - our best dinner - loved the wings (does anyone have a recipie for the sauce?) - great food - a bit slow but there was a great light show outside the window we were sitting at (Pre-Wilma Lightning Rain Storm)...
EPCOT:
Food and Wine Festival - Strolled the world twice (once in the rain) on Saturday (Me, DH, and two friends) - completed out goal of trying at least 15 of the 27 booths adult beverages - we actually tried 17. Saw Starship - an entertaining show of fun music. and left before fireworks. Went back again in Tuesday (Me, mom, and Dad) - with the goal of seeing the Beach Boys - we strolled the entire world part and tried a few things I had missed and a few things I liked a lot - the beach boys line was WAY too long - so we sat at one of the tables outside the theatre and listened - my dad liked it but wasn't one of the best performances...
The rest of that park we did pretty fast - what we did do - I would recommend getting fast passes for Soaring - it was a fun ride - but we would not have enjoyed it as much if we had to wait the posted 50 minutes.
My mom and I did the Behind the Seeds Tour on Tuesday - cute tour for not a lot of $$ - Our guide was very nice and explained everything very well. It was a small group (the two of us, another couple, and one other gentleman) - so the tour definitely took a feel for all of their questions - which we didn't have a lot of b/c we are not avid gardeners - but still fun. I liked seeing "behind the scenes".
All in all an ok trip We lost two days due to the rain so that was disappointing. (we had to move my parents to our hotel just in case the hurricane was bad, etc.
Planning my next trip back in December so I have a plan - bring both warm and cold clothes incase another cold front comes in. Tuesday was freezing!
Hugs
