A great time to visit the parks, low crowds, rain threatened but held off. TSM was the only real need to use Fastpass.
Sun eve, Sept 28: Food and Wine at Epcot. Lots of people, but only one kiosk where the line wouldn't move. Many others had no line, not like a Friday or Sat evening. American Adventure nice, but disappointing. Almost all the food was super tasty. Very much worth it if you are into sharing and tasting around the world. Illuminations went to the top of my list for fireworks. What a great show, so mature and creative, and inspiring.
Mon, Sept 29, AK. Got an FP from Kilimanjaro Safaris and walked the Pangani Forest Trail. We missed extra Magic Hour, so a lot of people were on this trail. Very well designed, CMs were great. Also did Rafiki Planet Watch for the first time. Loved the talking recylcing can. Very funny. Not much else going on, but some nice displays and no competition for the character greeting. Loved the audio booth in which you hear the rainforest noises. EE broke down, but when it came back up, FP was a breeze, no wait at all. Finding Nemo was sensational. Actually saw it twice, once alone close-up and then again when the rest of my gang was finished with lunch, we sat farther back. Sitting toward the back is essential for this show. We all loved it. The parade here is very clever and worth waiting for. After the parade, Dinosaur was walk-on.
Mon eve, MK for Spectromagic and Wishes. Everyone goes to this, so very crowded, but worth it. Wow. Showed up early to try and catch a spin on CofP, but it closed early!
Tue, Sept 30, Future World. Got there for EMH this time, but about 20 minutes late. Immediately trieds the new-for-us SE. The improvements were great. The animatronics made all the difference. Also better narration. Sometimes little difference mean alot, this was great. Terrific games when you get off, including memory/thinking agility and a body parts/operation type game. A great start to the day. TT and MS were walk-on. Enjoyed spending time among the various fountains. These were a delight. Also did Innoventions. had a blast at StormTracker, the recycling game, and Where's the Fire?
Tuesday evening, MNSSHP. Alot more people than at Piratre and Princess, but all rides were walk-on. A little strategy helps. We did HM while the first parade was going on, and as we were getting out, we saw an incredible stampede to HM from the parade goers. I can't imagine how long the wait swelled to. I must be one of the few who thinks P&PP has a more extensive parade and even fireworks show than MNSSHP.
Wed. Morning, OCt 1st: HS. With everyone hoofing it to TSM, TofT and RnR were walk-on. TSM wait was not too bad, and FP return was even better. Disney: One Man's Dream was a beautiful experience, and the dispays and models are super. Beauty and the Best is a quickie and fairly low on excitement. Sounds Dangerous had limited hours, didn't open until 2pm but we needed to leave before then.
A great four days.
