Yes, I know my sig isn't working. The host is currently down.
Day 1
After a 13 or so hour drive from Huntington, WV, we arrived at the Wilderness Lodge around 1 p.m. on Sunday. The past few years when we stayed at Old Key West, check-in wasn't until 3 (I believe). This year, we were able to check in as soon as we got here. We unpacked, showered, layed around, etc. for a little bit. At 5, we went to Downtown Disney where we watched the Matrix: Reloaded (5:30 show). This movie is so awesome, and more enjoyable than the first seeing as how the first takes a bit of thought to understand. If you haven't seen it yet, and plan on it, stay after the credits; they play the trailer for Revolutions. There was some Mexican guy translating almost everything for his wife. I hate him. After the movie and a bit of walking around we got dinner at McDonalds thinking it would be cheaper. Cheap + Disney World = yeah right. I got a Big Mac & Coke for 5$
After dinner we came back here and made phone calls to our family and such, and then went to bed.
Day 2
I got up about 6:45, got ready, and grabbed a Pop Tart for breakfast. I walked out of the room to get a Sprite, and when I look down I see a free USA Today. Man, this resort is so cool. About 7:50, we headed to the ticket/trans. center to get the hoppers, then we took the monorail to the Magic Kingdom. We arrived about 8:10, and boy, it sure was dead.
We went on Snow White's Scary Adventure, Peter Pan's Flight, "it's a small world", ExtraTERRORestrial, Space Mountain, The Hall Of Presidents, The Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, and Pirates Of The Caribbean, and ate lunch before 12:30 or so. I got lunch from the Columbia Harbour House. That place is good and filling! The longest waits were about 15 minutes, but there were very few that were this long. After MK, we took the monorail to EPCOT. Here, we walked on Spaceship Earth and Honey, I Shrunk The Audience. After that, we headed back to WL. At the snack place downstairs, we picked up a free refills mug for $11. Boy, WL keeps getting better and better. At 6, my aunt, uncle, and cousins that live in Orlando came to visit us. We ate at the cafe in WL. Almost all of us got the all you can eat ribs, chicken, beef stew, etc deal. That ruled, but I ate way too much. This environment of the cafe reminded me of Dick's Last Resort in so many ways. After my family left, we went to Downtown Disney to shop. I went to the Virgin store to see if I could get the new Deftone's CD a couple of hours in advance. The lady said the wouldn't be able to sell it until midnight. I didn't feel like waiting until then, so I left. I meant to pick up Tomahawk's "Mit Gas" CD (Mike Patton rules), but totally forgot. I went to the guitar shop to try and find an Octave pedal, but they didn't have one. More shopping, hotel, sleep, the end.
Day 3
Woke up, got ready, blah, blah, MGM about 8:15. Went straight for Tower of Terror, but the wait was 30 minutes, so my aunt and I got a fast pass and headed toward RnRC.....BUT IT WAS CLOSED. We then headed back to T of T, got in the stand by line, rode, etc. Then we went to Sounds Dangerous. My aunt wanted to shop, so she gave me her fast pass. I rode Tower of Terror twice with the fast passes, and then rode it again via standby line. I got three of the four drop patterns, and rode it for my 15th total time. Caught up with my aunt and went to Muppetvision and then the Backlot Tour. My first time on the BLT, and it rocked. Went back to check on Aerosmith, and it was finally open. I got in the stand by line and rode after a 10 minute wait. After, we grabbed lunch at the Backlot Cafe, and then went to Animal Kingdom. We went on It's Tough To Be A Bug, Dinosaur, and the rapids ride. The rapids ride's stand by said 25, but we waited about 45 minutes, mostly because it was real humid. It started raining when we were in line, and morons bought ponchos even though they were going to get soaked. It was hot, and we didin't think the animals would be out, so we didn't go see them. They aren't that big of a deal anyways...for me atleast. We left, and so on. We were supposed to see Fantasmic, but the person in a wheel chair on our bus held things up, and when we got there, all that was left was standing room. Blag.
Day 4
Got to Epcot around 8 something. Walked right on to Test Track. After, Ellen's thing, Cranium Command, and Living With The Land were next. Everything was a walk on. I got an ice cream cone from The Land place. We went to the countries to sight see and go on the Maelstrom and American Adventure (awesome). Hopped on the ferry to MGM where we rode RnRC and ToT once again. I got the other drop pattern that I missed yesterday, we got the old cart (seat belts are better than the bar), and the girl next to me was flipping out. Came back here where I grabbed lunch from the snack bar about 20 minutes ago (3:43). Illuminations at 9.
Day 5
Went to MK to do all the musts again. We also did the Enchanted Tiki Room for the first time. What a load of crap. Grabbed the boat back to WL where we rested up. Left WDW to go to Hard Rock Cafe. When we found out parking was $12, we decided to pass it up. TGIFridays was fine with me, so we ate there. Drove to MGM and got there about 7. Went on RnRC one last time, and headed to Fantasmic. It had been raining earlier, and it looked like it was going to start again. The theater was more than half empty. We grabbed seats, and in about five minutes, a downpour started. You couldn't find anywhere for shelter. A majority of people who were getting under shelters even had ponchos (we didn't)! My clothes weighed about 25 pounds. My aunt went into Planet Hollywood to get a poncho. I fixed the bag into a hate and put it over my head, heh. We went back to WL, and decided there was nothing else we wanted to do the next day.
Day 6
Instead of leaving on Saturday, we left on Friday because we had done everything we wanted multiple times. The last day on our hoppers will be saved for the next trip which will be this December or December of 2004. It's sucks leaving, but with the way time flys, I'll be there again soon enough.
Pros:
- It's dead
- I got out of school
Cons:
- A bit hot at times
- Foreign people talking during the great movie that is The Matrix Reloaded
- Foreign people who take their 5 year old children to the great movie that is The Matrix Reloaded
- WHINY KIDS. WDW is great and all, but parents should know that it's a bad idea to take kids that are real little and/or are very whiny. It's hot, they get restless, hungry, etc. However, I've seen some 1-2 year olds act better than older ones. Parents, do youself a favor and check out this site on handling your kids (PLEASE REALIZE I AM JOKING WHEN I SAY FOLLOW THAT ADVICE)
