Limeys
Well I am finally getting some rest....I am at work!!!!
I will read & try to catch up with everyone later. But for now I will give you the Highlights!
The GOOD!
Allegiant Airlines..Direct flight from Allentown to Sanford Airport....79.00
Arrived 1/2 hour early...and was ONLY 15 minutes late coming back!
WONDERFUL Airline...I hope they stay around
The weather was great!!!! Hot... BUT NOT unbearable like last year!
The Redux POC
Very cool! Nothing noticeable missing from the original...all the new added features are good!
Got my request @ POP 1st floor poolside!
50's section (I just requested any section)...right next to the Lady Icon! EZZZZZZZZZ access to pool, parking & POP cafe!
The new Character Connection at Epcot!!!!!
Wow! Great setup! for the BIGGGGGG Named Characters!
Walked right on EE ...singles line. very good ride. (just did it once...seems to be down alot) (see The Bad below)
FINALLY after 31 years I made it to Tom Sawyers Island!!!!!!!!!!! What I saw I liked.
Sad to say...but saw The Country Bear Jamboree for the first time also!!!!
Rode EVERY ride & saw everyshow we wanted to (except The lion king at Ak)
Rode in the front of the monorail for the zillionth time...BUT First time @ Night leaving the park @ 12:30 am! WAY COOL!
Didnt have to squish in with the 'regular sweaty folk in the back'.
Got FREE Cotton candy one night at MK....the end of the night they give it out for free! James my nephew was estatic!
MK now has the one finger scan ticket putter in thingy....and it WORKS!!!!
No looooooong lines getting into that park!
Did the BIG Epcot 3- MS, S, & TT many many many many times.
Did the 'Behind the Seeds Tour'
Lotsa fun! and for 18.50 for both me & james with the
AAA diamond discount! However since James would not shutup for two minutes the 40 minute tour went to 1 hour & 5 minutes!
Saw the Crash stunt show @ MGM for first time...missed that last year!
Missed all but one of my ADR's....HOWEVER had
NO problem at all getting into
any resteraunt at the last minute.....including Alfredos for Dinner on Sunday night @ 6:00.
(with just 2 it does make it more easy)
This was a good for me...bad for James....after the 20 zillionth time riding TOT...we got stuck on it...at the bottom...in the DARk...Poor James LOST IT!...and I mean LOST HIS MIND!!!!!! Completely freaked out...trying to get out of the seat belt...screaming & shouting uncontrollable . Me the BIG help couldnt help it but I was laughing at his reaction! Very weird twilight Zone moment. We were in the front seats...and some lady in the back (remember it was pitch black dark) yelled..."Will someone smack that kid"...he really was upsetting everyone else. Did I mention he was uncontrollable!.....Anyhow after we got off...i was telling him what happened. He was now Hysterical laughing
....Until He realized I was talking about him (he like blackout or something???) As soon as he realized it was HIM who was Hysterical...he didnt think it was very funny!
I still did...and he rode it 2 more times that night with no problems.
For the first time I sat UP front in The Hall of Presidents!!!! Come ON...some of the Presidents are REAL!!!!!!!!!! Unbelivable Wonderful!
The BAD!
How do they keep "Sounds Dangerous with Drew Carey" open
......It is such a lame show & sooooo filthy DISCUSTING in that theatre!
That whole little section of MGM is just such wasted real estate....the TV theatre next door to SD has been closed for eons...and nutin there.
And they are closing WWTBAM???????? Why that is one of the most popular attractions.....they always turn people away! Lots of MGM needs some serious updating! I miss the Golden Girls house!
AK!!!!
Rode EE when we first got there on singles line....got a fast pass..waited 4 hours to get to the fastpass time.....the
FP line was a
1 HOUR WAIT. The standby line was a 3 hour wait....ALL IN THE BRUTAL HOT SUN...and the ride wasnt even working...Only NO CM"S were to be found ANYWHERE near the vicinity!
I was never crazy about AK...but there is NO magic going on there. EMH had ONLY DINOSAUR & the ride in the (what I call) the Carney section running (can't remember the name)..and about 9:00 they made a announcement over the loudspeakers that ITTBAB is NOW opened! Only NO CM's were too be found anywhere...Nor could I get get any info from one when I did find one (cowering in a corner somewhere...REALLY)....spent 3 hours walking around....asking other people whats going on...and other people asking me whatsgoing on! REALLY REALLY BAD...and very Un-Disney!!!!! Then to top it off the park closed at 10:00...at 9:50 we saw both Mickey & Minny talking pics & autographs(at the beginning of the africa section(i get lost in that park all the time). James was rather excited...cause you NEVER see these 2 together. James was the next one up & there was
ONE kid behind us...THATS ALL...No one else around...and the CM cut us off....No More pics with M&M!!! There was ONLY 2 KIDS THERE and 10 minutes left to park closing. Me and the other kids mother couldnt believe how flippen rude he was!
I asked the CM "are you kidding?"...he said "DO I LOOK LIKE IM KIDDING" realllll nasty!
What should I do belt the CM in front of James & M&M???
First Time ever I went to the Guest Relations...and I was very nice, but complained to the CM there.....She told me to wait right there...walked out...came back like 3 minutes later(felt like a hour)...and Shrugged her shoulders and said "sorry, Nothing I can do!"
..Not even a "Sorry"!!!!!
I couldn't believe these people. I PROMISE to write a letter very soon. Never seen such a mismanaged fiasco in my life. I vow NEVER TO GO TO AK AGAIN! It was THAT BAD! Heck! Chuckie Cheese is run better than that place.
The British Invasion only plays on Mondays now in the UK Pavillion at Epcot. That is one of James favorites!
Got the last boat to Tom Sawyers Island...what they dont tell you is .....once you take the last boat...you only have 5 minutes and they make you leave!
Almost kicked the bucket at Typhoon lagoon!!!!!! WOW THOSE WAVES ARE
HUGE! KNOCKED ME DOWN AND I SWALLOWED A BIT TOO MUCH WATER!!!!
TL is for the YOUNG (physically) not the Young at Heart!!!!!
They no longer give out "Monorail Driver Licences" when you ride the front of the monorail!
Couldn't get anywhere near Turtle talk with Crush.....one day had a 3 hour wait!!!!
(we did get in last year before the "word" got out...james got to talk to Crush)
Tooooooooo many CM's who cant speak a word of understandable English!!!!
Found myself saying "excuse me" way too many times. However I do have a very funny story about Inspector Clew-sows(phonetic spelling) working at MS...and giving all the wrong information out! (full story in reserve for a trip report) But he was telling everyone the wrong lines to get on....once inside all the orange people realised thay were on the green line...and vise versa...so EVERYONE was climbing over the barriers getting on the correct lines. Very funny incident.
I did notice that WDW is starting to seriously lie about the posted wait times................After 8 days in the parks....whatever the posted 'wait time" is...DOUBLE it!!!!!
Thats it for now!
I hope everyone is fine!
Just HAD to share!
Nice to see another one is ready to be corrupted! 
I think I'm up to 40+ and we're only staying six days in Dec. 
Do you here it.... the music
the party
......
