THis report will probably be slow in coming. I of course should be up and cleaning house, but this is much more fun.
I will begin with Day 1 and Day 2
We arrived in Orlando and went right to our rental house-very nice house 7 bedrooms, 2 eating areas and a private pool-we had 13 people with us (me, hubby, 2 sons 11 and 8, daughter 6, sister and her hubby, her 2 sond 10 and 5, and her daughter 7, our mom and my hubby's mom and dad)
We unpacked and then the ladies ventured out to obviously the ONLY wal-mart in the area it was more crowded than Disney
Anyway back to the house and early to bed
Day 2
We decided to go to MK first-even though I thought Ak would be lower on crowds. We made it to rope drop and yes I teared up!!!! After all of the planning we were here!!! We went straight to FantasyLand-and that was a great choice-low crowds first thing in the morning-we went right to Dumbo and got in line. We sent our mom over to Peter Pan's flight to get Fasspasses. After we rode Dumbo, we walked right on to Snow White's adventure, and then right onto Pooh's ride. We then decided to take a break and let the kids play in Pooh's playground, we pulled out our frozen water's and snacks and sat down and had a snack break. As we were cleaning up, Pooh and Tigger showed up-we were first in line with pooh, and only had a few minutes to wait with Tigger--this was all before 10:30--FantasyLand still is not crowded!!! We also rode the tea cups and the Indy cars with little or no waiting! We then walk right onto Peter Pan with those awesome fastpasses. After PP we rode It's a small world, we then indulged in mickey bars! We then basically walked in to see Mickey's Philharmagic-don't miss this, it was awesome!! This is where we seperated! We sent the fellows over to get fastpasses for Haunted Mansion, we then took the girls over to see Ariel in her Grotto, this was by far the longest wait of the day, but well worth it. While the boys waited on us they rode HM-it also had little or no waiting. When we got over there, we all rode again. We then walked around Liberty Square for a bit, then headed over to Splash Mountain, we did get fastpasses to SM and went and got into line for BTM-there was a long wait for this one and I don't think it was worth it. After we rode this we went right back to splash Mountain and walked on with our FP.
We then decided to head back home and give the kids and the grandparents a rest--we got home ate lunch took and swim and rested for a bit.
We headed back out to Mk that evening. My mom had trouble with her ticket and had to go to guest relations-she was very friendly and did not fuss, they gave her a 13 person fastpass for any ride--whoooohoooo Buzz lightyear her we come!!! We also wanted to ride Space Mountain, but the line was 60 minutes long and no more FP-so we rode Buzz and got in line for Stitch---a good thing the line was only about 15 minutes--none of us liked this ride. We went back up front and saw that Spectro was about to begin, we decided to go to Frontier Land during this time caught the end of it there, sat on the general store and ate turkey legs! We also had a nice view of wishes, we made ouor wat around to Adventure land and walked onto POTC.
We decided to finish the night up with the 11 SpectroMagic parade, the kids got a great seat on mainstreet-As we left I was concerned with ALL of the people crowding out, but MK is very efficient when it comes to getting people out of the park. We did not get home until around 1:00--off to bed b/c we are going to MGM tomorrow!!!
Day 3 later!
