Our trip report..short and sweet

[lisajl]

First day did AK and the Safari...ok...you were right..it was well worth it!
Loved it! Our guide acted a bit like Jim Carey. Very fun!

Second day...well we survived the MK..crowds and all. We had ADR for LTT and loved it! If and when we go again, won't be for awhile, we will make character dinner reservations again. So much more fun for them to come to our table than to have to wait in line!

Third day...ok, we veered from the parks and went to Kennedy Space Center.
It was very fun, my 8 year old son got picked to be in a show. He loved it!
My DH loved all the info and space stuff. I could have done without it, but I must say it was very informative. We did get to see where the ISS is being put together.

Then off to MGM...My fave park. Maybe not the FAVE, but a close second to MK. I absolutely love movies, so I love this park and the shows.
Yes, watched Fantasmic again...could watch it all the time.

Epcot...SOARIN! What else can I say?

Met a lot of wonderful people from Chicago, Dallas, Ohio and even London, England!
It sure is fun to talk to people while waiting in line. You never know who you will end up chatting with.

The one thing that threw me off was some woman complaining to kiosk guy(cm) that she had spilled her soda on her velvet jacket. She was complaining that it was ruined and that her white shirt underneath was ruined also.
What did she want him to do? Go buy her a new outfit? Before I left with my sandwich, she was telling the CM to get her a manager and get one now.
Why would you wear something that could not be replaced to WDW?

All in all...a fun time...we will go again, but I don't think for quite a while.
Yep, I think I am Disney'd out. Coming from me that is saying something.
I look up on my computer desk that has snowglobes and photos and Disney Hallmark ornaments on it. It just did not have that same thing for me this time.
Maybe it was because our oldest could not go due to work, I'm not sure, but we are planning a next big trip to Hawaii.

I know Mickey will be waiting for me when I come to my senses. Glad he will be there.

Thanks for sharing your report, I know what you mean by being "Disney'd out". We haven't been since 10/04 and our next trip is 12/06. I think we'll appreciate it SO much more next time, as we're used to going at least every year, if not twice.

One thing I forgot to add...while we were at MGM, after Fantasmic, I just picked up some trash and handed it to a CM. She said, "Thanks, I was going to get it." "Oh, that's all right, I was right here", I said.
She then hands me a card with Tinkerbell on it. It says: Where the Magic lives.
This moment was Certifiably Magical
Across the miles and over the years, you'll always remember the Magical Moment from the Walt Disney World Resort.

Thanks for the report. SInce we live in Florida we go to WDW frequently and I sometimes think that if we went less we would appreciate it even more. For us it is a weekend getaway but I remember the longer trips we used to take and they had a whole different feel to them. Have a great time in Hawaii, that is on our family list of must do vacations too!

I can relate… in the last 15 years I have been to a Disney property 9 times. Well after the fall 04 trip I have decided that a great way to spend the presidential election is in WDW. Now I will be going every 4 years.

Enjoy Hawaii. I never wanted to go there but when I did I was pleasantly surprised. I’ve spent 2 vacations in Maui. The Maui Prince was a great place for brunch……
