We have been here since Monday. Monday we got here, got the car at the airport and went to the grocery store before checking in. Once checked in we went to dinner at Medieval Times. It was a good show and the dinner was the best so far. We got to cheer for the yellow knight. The next am we go up and went to AK. I was worried that everything would be busy. All the rides were less than 10 minutes, except Mt. Everest was 30 minutes, but actually only took 15. We didn't do any shows, as they are too kid like for my son and the rapids was our favourite ride, as we rode it 4 times. One of the most fun pastimes for my wife and I are people watching. The temp was 24c ~70f and we saw people wearing everything from shorts/shirts, to heavy jackets and boots.

Wed we went to Island of Adventure and had a great time. Again I was worried about long lines, but we walked in and checked out City Walk for a bit. We then made our way to the park and hit the Hulk first. We walked right on, and it stayed that way all day long. Next was the Storm and then Spiderman. Spiderman had about a 5 minute wait, but was very cool in 3D. We then rode Ripsaw Falls about 4 times. From there we walked through Jurassic Park to the Dueling Dragons. There was no wait for that and rode each the Fire and Ice 3 times. We walked to Poseidon’s Fury and then rode the Hulk a couple more times before eating at Hard Rock. The food was good, but the service was really slow.

Thursday we hit Hollywood Studios and got there around 10am and left around 5. It seemed a bit busier, but it is a small park. We went to Tower of Terror first and had a 10 minute wait. It was different than I was expecting, but really cool. From there we went on Rockin' Roller Coaster, and it said a 40 minute wait, but was only about 20, since there were not fast pass riders. From there we walked around and went to Star Tours, then to the Indy Jones show. From there we walked around to the backlot tour and then back to the RnR, which took about 30 minutes, but there were lots of fast pass riders.

Friday was Epcot. We arrived at 10:30 and left around 8. We went straight to Spaceship Earth and had to wait about 15 minutes. Today seemed busier than the other days. We then headed over to Mission Space which said about a 50 minute wait, but was quicker than that, but they had delays so it would have been even faster. Before we rode Mission Space we got fast passes for Test Track as it said it had a 70 minute wait. From MS we started to walk around through the World Expose, but went back to ride Test Track. Most of it was pretty weak, but the speed test was the best part. We then went back and walked through the different towns. Our favourite was China and Japan. We bought a funnel cake outside USA and bought some stuff in Japan. Once we finished the world tour we went back on Test Track, which still had a 50 minute wait, but we did the single rider and got on within 5 minutes, we rode that 4 more times. We then went on Mission Space one last time before leaving just before 8pm.

Sat we took off and went to the Florida Mall and a guitar store. So it was pool and relax time after that.

Tomorrow is Sea World and then MK and last is Universal.
 
Today was Seaworld. This was the highlight of my trip so far. My son got to feed the dolphins, sting rays, and sharks. At the end of the day he got to play with the dolphins by throwing some balls and boat bumpers to them. We rode Kraken and the Journey to Atlantis a bunch of times too. The Believe show and the dolphin whale show were very good too. My son sat in the first row for the Shamu show and was totally soaked, but loved it. We also walked around and sampled free beer. We missed the tower but got to see most of the rest of the park. It is hard to see the whole park when they space the shows out so you don't have much time to do the other parts of the park.
 
Seems you are accomplishing many things in your vacation. Sounds like fun so far, and much like vacations with my husband, its not complete without a trip to the guitar store :rotfl:
 
Today was MK. We were there longer than I thought, as we ended up seeing the fireworks. We rode most of the rides, and Splash Mountain was closed. In the am Space Mtn had a short line, but when we rode it around 5:30 it had a 30 minute wait. Thunder Mtn in the afternoon had a 15-20 minute wait, other than that most were 10 minutes or less. We saw the Monsters Inc Laughing floor and Stiches escape and they were both good. I didn't think my son would ride some of the more kid like ride, but he decided too, as the other days he wouldn't ride the kid rides. We thought the Haunted Mansion was a little strong.
 

Just checking in, hope you are having fun, and at least staying warm.
 
Glad you are having a fun vacation. Is it warm, cold, etc.?
