On Monday we did Epcot, even though it wasn't early entry. We hit almost all of Future World by 12 Noon. Spaceship Earth stopped 3 times while we were on it. All of Wonders of Life was closed. We went on Test Track; the last bit prompted me to scream for 3 minutes straight without taking a breath. The banking was pretty intense. We went to Mission to Mars, which had Puke Warning signs all over it. We asked the Cast Member out front "How pukey is it?" He said "We've already cleaned it up twice this morning if that gives you any idea." He also stated that it spins for approximately 4 minutes, which scared both of us off the idea. We enjoyed Test Track and the Circle of Life movie the most. We spent the afternoon napping and swimming at the hotel.
We purchased the Candlelight Processional package for the 5 pm show with 6:30 reservations at Marrakesch. Jim Caviezel was narrating. We got front row seats as even the reserved section was quite filled by the time we got there. The show was excellent, very moving and well-done. Even the narrator got teary at some of the readings. The woman they had doing the sign language interpretation was excellent as well. Awesome show. Dinner was good as well.
On Tuesday we returned to Magic Kingdom and, emboldened by our Test Track experience, attempted Big Thunder Mountain for the first time. It was really fun, even for a chicken like me. I would rate it a 4 on a 1-10 scariness scale, not bad at all. We actually thought some of the turns in Goofy's Barnstormer were more traumatic. We walked into attractions with a less than 5 minute wait right up until noon when it started getting busy. Then we headed to Animal Kingdom, re-did 3 or 4 attractions (all with 10 minute waits) and returned to the hotel.
We did MGM in the evening. My mom made the top ten in Who Wants to be a Millionaire by randomly guessing at most things; law of averages? We wanted to see Fantasmic but it was just too packed by the time we got there (30 minutes before it started). I wasn't willing to stand that long.
Wednesday was a free day, re-visiting all the things we missed and spending some time at Downtown Disney. Overall, I give the trip a 97%. I wouldn't go at any other time of the year now.
