Sisters hit AKL and WDW - Feb. 1-6!! - Days 3 & 4

[grumpyandbashful]

Day 3:

Today we hit MGM, which turned out to be sis's favorite park. I love it, too !
The park commando in me took over a bit when the ropes dropped and I forced sis to power-walk to TOT. I think we were in the first elevator of the day! We sat in the front row, and had an awesome time. This is my fave ride in all of WDW . Next we headed over to RNR and walked on. I love RNR, but it was a bit too much for sis. She was a little discombobulated for awhile.
After the Great Movie Ride, Sounds Dangerous, Indy and Star tours, we headed over for our PS at the Primetime Cafe. I asked for "someone fun" and the hostess told me not to worry, that we were getting an obnoxious waiter. We got Mickey (his real name, I think ), and he was a hoot! We had a great time at the Cafe, though the food was so-so (we had fried chicken - chicken was good, but the mashed potatoes and veggies were cold ). sis had cherry cobbler for dessert which was "OK".
Next we headed over to WWTBAM. Some background info - I won the million-point prize in June 2001 - and took my sis with me on my trip to NYC last summer. We saw Regis and Kelly and had great fun on our little trip, so sis was rooting for me to get in the hot seat and win a Disney Cruise . I did make it to the #1 spot, but then I answered some obscure question about Greek Mythology wrong, so I was out of the running. If the guy in the hot seat had gone out one question earlier, I would have made it!! Sorry, just had to vent a little. . .
Anyway, sis and I had fun at WWTBAM.
Next we rested a bit in the Animation tour, and finally hit the Backlot Tour. I volunteered there, and was cast as a deck hand on the boat. Sis had fun watching me in the show, and I tried my best not to laugh while under enemy attack!
We were tired by this point, so we headed back to the AKL for some R&R. After some swimming and resting, we headed back to DTD. We grabbed some dinner at Wolfgang Puck Express, which was great ( I had the cheese and tomato pizza, and sis had the Felafel sandwich and Key Lime Pie). We headed over to PI, and did some shopping before catching the first show of Comedy Warehouse. It was a hoot!! I wanted to visit the Adventurer's Club, but we were tired and headed back to AKL.

Day 4:

Time to hit the MK! We arrived just at opening and stopped at the Main Street Bakery for a quick bite. We had a breakfast quiche with sausage, cheese, eggs and onions which was REALLY good . The barbershop quartet entertained us in line, which was great.
After breakfast, we hit Alladin's ride, then Jungle Cruise (had a great captain!) and Pirates. We headed over to Splash Mountain (no line) then BTMR. Next we headed to Country Bear Jamboree, which my sister proclaimed "really dumb", and I agree! I can't believe my DH likes this attraction . We hit the Haunted Mansion, and then sis hit the wall! I think she had had a little too much Disney by now. We revived a little with a Dole Whip, and then we rode the resort monorail just for fun, then switched monorails and headed to Epcot. By this time, sis's eyes were glazed over, so she caught the bus back to AKL from Epcot. I went in to ride Test Track, then moseyed around the WS. Grabbed some fish and chips for lunch, then rode the boat to MGM. I hit TOT and RNR again, then caught the bus back to AKL. We had a good rest, since we were heading to Hoop-dee-Doo.
We drove our rental car to Ft. Wilderness, and got to Pioneer Hall early enough to relax in the rocking chairs. Sis loved the atmosphere at Ft. Wilderness.
I had made our ressie for HDD just 3 weeks before, and we got a decent table. At the FAR right, close to the front (sort of behind the piano player). We had a fun time and the food was pretty good (except the strawberry shortcake - sorry, but I think it tastes like sweetened cardboard).

To be continued. . .
