Our Christmas Trip 12/23 - 12/29 Part III

[MaggieMouse]

Travellers: Me, DH, DS (8), DD (15 months), and a friend of the family.

Thursday ( 12/27) decided to do the rest of AK in the morning.

Went early, rode Dinosaur, lots of fun! Saw the Tarzan Rocks show. This wasn't quite what I expected but it was good. My DS dug for bones for a while and played in the playground. DH ended up bringing DD in too and she was having a blast. Skipped the Dinorama area and went to see Festival of the Lion King. I love this show, I could see it over and over. Was DH's first time seeing it. The best part was my DS got to help with the instruments at the end. It was great! And the performers kept coming over and playing with my DD. (we were in the second row on the floor because of DH's scooter. All the kids that were picked were from that area.)

After that we left AK for the day. DH again stayed in with the little one and the rest of us headed over to MK. Much better than Christmas Day. We did Big Thunder Mountain RR, Haunted Mansion, Small world, Saw the Spectromagic parade and the Fantasy in the sky fireworks. Rode Alien Encounter. It was VERY fun!

Friday, our last day, boo hoo! We did MGM in the morning. Saw the Indiana Jones show, FP Star Tours and did the Muppet Show. Came back did Star Tours then waited for the parade. Great parade, my son got picked to do a wicked laugh in the pre entertainment portion. He did a great job!!! After the parade, we went and had turkey legs and then went back to the hotel. I really wanted to see some shows and Osbourne and Fantasmic but we didn't get to.

At night DH stayed in and the rest of us went to do the World Showcase at Epcot. The best part was the living statue in France. She was soooo funny. We didn't get to see any of the Santas or the candlelight processional. We left Epcot and went to DD to shop.

And that's it. The next morning we got up, had breakfast at the food court and hit the road home.

Please let me know if anyone has questions about anything we did.

While I thought that Tarzan Rocks was cute enough, I thought that it could use a little more Tarzan and a little less Rocks

I enjoyed reading about your last two days, thanks for taking the time to tell us about them.
