We (me, my wife, my 5 year old son, my 2 year old daughter, our friends (Mr. and Mrs. and their 2 and 4 year old neices)) arrived at Port Orleans Riverside on Friday evening. We checked into the Alligator Bayou and enjoyed the resort for the evening. 
We got up Saturday morning, ate breakfast at the food court, and then it was off to MGM. It was not very crowded so we grabbed fast passes for RNR and then rode the TOT (me and Mr. friend). We took turns watching the kids for the RNR and then it was off to the Beauty and the Beast show. After the show, we returned to the hotel for lunch, swimming, and surrey biking. We returned to MGM for the Fantasmic dinner package at Mama Melrose. This was our first time at this restaurant and it was GREAT!!!
It started to thunder and lightning so we decided that metal bleachers were not the place to be. As we got to the exit the rains came and we were happy to return to our rooms. We got up Sunday am and went to Animal Kingdom. It was just as we remembered it, hot and crowded. We watched the Festival of the Lion King (a must see for those of you who have not) and Tarzan Rocks (another great show) and then left. I do not know what it is, but the AK always seems hot, and we are from Tampa so we know hot! After swimming, and resting we went to Le Cellier for dinner at Epcot (definately not our first trip, this is one of our favorite restaurants
). Today we got up and went to the suprise am at the Magic Kingdom. As always it is the way to go! Before 11am we had ridden Pooh, Dumbo, Snow White, Peter Pan, Space Mountain (Me and Mr. Friend) Buzz Lightyear (My wife and kids and Mrs Friend and her neices), TTA, Splash Mtn (Me, son, Mr. Friend and his neice) ate breakfast at Diamond Horseshoe, ridden the Magic Carpets of Aladdin, had pictures taken with Genie and Aladdin, ridden Big Thunder Mountain (me, son, Mr. Friend and his neice), Haunted Mansion, the Barnstormer, had pictures taken at the Toontown Fair. We then ate lunch at Cosmic Rays and rode the Pirates of the Caribbean and toured the Swiss Family Robinson Tree house (me, son, Mr. Friend, his neice) while my wife, Ms. Friend, and the 2 year olds shopped Main Street. We returned home around 2 pm.
The early entry is the WAY TO GO! 
We had a GREAT TRIP!!!!! We definately recommend Aligator Bayou at Riverside, Mama Melrose, Le Cellier, and early entry!
