Trip booked by Dreams Unlimited. They were just great! I will use them again! 1 Adult, 1 junior (13) and 1 Child (8). 4 Nights at the All Star Music. 3 day park hopper with extra magic option and included the meal plan. Magical Express transportation also booked.
Day 1- Flight/Bus: Boston to Orlando via Jet Blue. Arrived at 1:30. Checked in at the magical express desk and on our way to our hotel @ 2:10. Let me say the Magical Express was anything but magical! A VERY slow trip to WDW but there was NO traffic! After stopping first at Pop Century, the driver got LOST!!! We did get a nice look at the Animal Kingdom Resort when the driver decided to called for directions. We arrived at the All Star Music and checked in at 4pm!
Room: Room was assigned for Bld. 7/Broadway. Also tried to arrange for late check out but would have to be out by 12pm. Bld 7 is quite far from the desk/cafe area. Not much to say. The room was clean. Beds were comfortable.
Dinner: Dining Plan/Table Service at Ohana in the Polynesian. Everything was great. Staff very friendly. Good food.
Disney Quest: The kids absolutely LOVED this place. Caution for those prone to motion sickness. especially on Cyber Space Mountain!
Day 2- Epcot: Weather - cool in the morning (light jacket) to shorts in the afternoon. Made a bee line to Mission Space than to Fast Pass Sorin'. Sorin' was fun. Rode it twice. Both in the 3rd set of gliders. These are the lowest when in flight. Picked up a Photo Pass and started getting pictures taken. Have the photographers use you own camera as well as taking theirs. Also broke down and bought a Pal Mickey. Lunch was purchased at the Biergarden in Germany. Good food GREAT beer! Dinner was at Le Celler in Canada using the Dining Plan. Total bill would have been $115 for the 3 of us. Stayed for most of Illuminations. Back on a bus before it got crazy.
Day 3- Magic Kingdom Weather- cool upper 50's-low 60's. NO LINES until @ 11:30am. Got kind of busy in Fantasy Land but most everything was a walk on/5 min. wait. Counter Service at Pacos Bills. burgers were OK. We sat outside at a warm, sunny table. Birds were troublesome! Thunder Mtn twice. Too cold for Splash MN. Rode Space Mtn 4 times. Stitch's Great Escape...BAD! My 8 yr old liked it but I liked Alien Encounter better. Its basically the same thing but not as good. Buzz Lightyear was open. Should have been closed for rehab but they said they finished early and reopened 2/2/06. Pal Mickey DIED twice thought the day so we stopped by the Pal Mickey store and they resuscitated him. Dinner at the Contemporary Steakhouse. Food was OK, not great. Tab would have been $135.00. Back to MK for part of Wishes. Back on the bus early,
Day 4- Animal Kingdom am Weather cool 50's-60's. Walk on at Expedition Everest. Then over to the Safari. Caught Birds of Wonder. then went back to EE but it was close for technical difficulties, hoping to reopen at some point in the day. Rode Dinosaur twice that bake to EE, still closed. Had lunch at Tusker House. Back to EE (still closed). Left for the hotel for a brief rest then off to MGM. TOT closed with problems. Kids would not go on Rock 'n roller coaster. they were convinced it would break down with them on it. Dinner at Hollywood and Vine/Fantasmic dining package. watched Fantasmic and stayed for the extra magic hours.
Day 5 Magical Express flight check in: Flying home on Jet Blue so we were able to check in for our 5pm flight at 9am. CAUTION You need your luggage whit you to check in for your flight. This is NOT mentioned on the paperwork telling you when your bus will pick you up! Also no lighters or film can be in your checked luggage! Went to Downtown Disney and back to Disney quest until it was time to go back to pick up the magical express for our return flight. We had snack coupons left over from our dining plan and stocked up on snacks for the flight. The Chocolate dipped rice crispy treats are great snacks!!!
Summery: Meal Plan was defiantly worth the cost. saved $$$$. Photo Pass was great! Never had anyone refuse to use our own camera as well have their photos taken. Magical Express was OK, but having it complimentary made the problems tolerable. All in all a great trip! Can't Waite to go back!!!!!
