hey! this is the first time i am typing a trip report on this board so here goes nothing.
Cast:
me(14) and my mom(username on disboards: catnik)
Place;
Beach Club
Days:
4 ( july 1-4)
Friday July 1, day 1:
Ok so we woke up at like GROSS 4:00 in the morning- BLEH! we get to the airport with no problems and make our way to the gate. Around 7:00 we took off for ORLANDO! We get there and it took us FOREVER to get to the Alamo Rent a Car place in the Orlando International Airport and rent a car. Mainly because we were waiting in the Disney Store getting our Disney passes. they had a really hard time trying to figure out how to change my mom's park hopper ticket to a annual pass. But once that was the passes were changed we got to the Rent a Center very quickly. WE went and picked out a convertible ( Sebring Touring, it was silver. still excited we got to get a convertible!!) We got the car and left it took me awhile to figure out where we were on the map and which way we were going but i figured it out.. VERY very slowly. My mom said since i didn't do well with the navigation with the road map i will probably have issues with geometry this coming year in math.
WE finally get to the Beach Club and check in. It took us a minute on how to get to the 5th floor conceirge, turns out you have to use your room key... We got up to the floor by 10:25. When one of the conceirge ladies kindly told us that the breakfast crew was going to be cleaning the food away in 5 minutes. Realizing we hadn't had breakfast we rushed in there and grabbed the food that looked good and sat down at the tables in time to see them start to clean up. WE finished breakfast and went into our room. It's number was 5655, and the view grows on you. When you step out on the balcony you can see HTH, and the Dance studio on the boardwalk. When you looked down you saw this beautiful flower arrangement, and you saw a little of the stormalong (?) pool. We unpacked and set off for epcot. we went to The Land where soarin is and got our fastpasses for 3:15. Since the standby line was like 70 minutes we went to Living with the Land. Our first ride when we were there... pretty sad in my opinion. After the ride we went to Spaceship earth. We both were pretty tired and started falling asleep on the ride, but i stayed awake so i could see the bald sleeping monk( the monks head is actually an old head of a president from the Hall of Presidents. After this we went back over to The Land and decided to wait in the 60 minute standby line. Was it 60 min?? NO! it was close to 100 min!! we got on the 2nd row, but once we got off the ride it was time for our fastpasses. We got on again and and we the last people in the 1st row! MUCH better than the 2nd row!! the time it took us to get on the ride again was 12 minutes, way better than 100.so we went back to the hotel and fell asleep on the beds till 8:15. we quicly got up and went to the Mk so we could see wishes, considering it would be the only time we would be able to see it. After wishes we went on Small world-- much better i noticed that they added a few new rooms either that or it is because i haven't been on it in awhile. we just missed it by a day or 2 last year... closed down early. I LOVED it, one of my fav. rides. We got our wristbands for the EMH and headed to the Blue Line Transity Authority. After that we went and got some food at Cosmic Rays. I had french fries and it didn't go down very well. Appearantly when you eat fries around 11:00 your digestive system doesn't work so well. we headed over to buzz, then Space. After space i felt alittle better. We then went to Stitch where we were falling asleep in line. But once i got the Stitch snot spewed over me and smelt the "chili dog" breath i was awake! We were going to go home after stitch but we went to Snow White, Winnie the pooh, peter pan, and dumbo. Yes dumbo, there was no line and we figured why not.Of course i got stuck with thye elephant that stops once you get to a certain height. After dumbo we went to the Haunted mansion. We walked on the ride and got in the waiting room. I saw this blonde male cast member next to a small kid and stare at himn right in the face. of course this made me laugh. after we saw the hanging man above us and the door opened i noticed the man wasn't where he last was, so i started walking and he sticks his head right next to mine and i actually screamed in suprise before we left the room, i said good one and saw him smile before we left. after the haunted mansion we ran over to Hungle cruise and made it on the last boat. The Cast members name was Joey ( tall, brown hair) He kept us laughing the whole time! if you get on his boat you will enjoy it! There were MANY memorable experiences on the boat. one, my mom told him there was ducks so he starts yelling, move duckies Move! I can;t stop the boat! Wait yall didn;t hear me say that! at 2:00 in the morning this man has a great sense of humor and you know he is thinking why are yall hear Go home! after te junle cruise we headed back to the hotel where we couldn't find the guest parking lot. A kind security guard flagged us down and we got our car valet parked.
Day 2, July 2:
we slept in late and got the wake up call from Stitch and mickey. i thought itwas very cute though my mother thinks the We've got big doings by mickey by himself is much better, we went outside and saw the clouds and rushed back inside and got our ponchoes. In less than 5 minutes it had started to rain. we got on the boat and headed to MGM. Our boat captain Ron gave us some trivia like what was Cinderella's last name: truman. Daisy's 3 neices: April, may, June. and Goofy's girlfriend: cow and her name was Clarabelle. we went in and headed for the fastpass to the Lights, Motor action. While we waited we saw Voyage of the little mermaid and saw the power rangers. The voyage was fun, and two people took flash photography of ariel's friends-- this did not go over well with the Cast members. lesson being: Listen to the CAst members and the introduction for the little mermaid!!!!!!!!!! I got a quick picture of my mom with jojo and goliath from playhouse disney. and we went back to the hotel. After lounging around in our hotel room for the afternoon we headed over to Epcot. We got there early and went over to mexico. The day before we had gotten churros and saw a ring cart where they engrave your name in the ring. My brother andrew had one but he lost it and we knew that he would love it. We ordered the ring and road El Reio Del Tempo ride. seeing we had time we went over to Norway and china- China had this Really pretty brown dress with glitter all over it. We then went back to the ring vender and he was putting the finishing touches on it. We got the ring and hurried over to England where we dined at the Rose N' Crown for Dinner. We stayed there till Illuminations and the family next to us had a son, and the son was so excited because he was going to wave the magic wand to start the fireworks. We saw Illuminations and headed back to the hotel. The next day we were going to the Kona Cafe for our breakfast reservations at 8:00 in the morning.
well this is it for now i will type the rest tomorrow. HOpe you have enjoyed it so far!!!
