Sorry this story is taking so long between posts but it seems life continues eventhough you are on vacation and expects you to catch upon return.
Anyway Thursday April 4th we began the day w/quickly packing up so bell Servvices could move our luggage from BWV to WLV and we were having the Campers picking us up to go to the AK. We were out in record time and on to battle the insanity amoung the masses. We first grabbed FPs for ITTBAB did Dinosaur w/little wait and proceeded to the new coaster since Kaitlin isn't into those rides Randy and Matt took her to the $ pit that is Dinorama and upon seeing her w/a stuffed Dino the other 4 kids needed one which took about $50 and 1/2 hour to acquire. We hit ITTBAB then lunch aclled we ate at Tusker House and got those meal tickets which were wonderful and highly recommend using them. After lunch the girls had been begging for face painting and the adults finally relented to the request since the Afirca line was really short vs the BW line that was about 50 kids long the night before. So Tori became a butteryfly, Vanessa a cat, Kaitlin a cheetah and Taylor a tiger (think they like cats?). Next was the Safari and then we were getting tired of fighting the crowds there and went to EPCOT so the kids could make masks.
Once we entered EPCOT we (the over 21 set) needed a refresher and called Heath and his friend to meet us at R&C
the young uns start their masks.
Now for a little insight we call Vanessa Obessa b/c she always concerned w/who is going first, where, when, etc and Tori HH b/c she learned alot about self reliance on this trip, Taylor PT b/c she truely belives she is being the baby girl in the family, and Jordan is Fewster b/c of the buzz cut he gave himself before last vacation we took together and it stuck forever.
Tori was for the afternoon referred to as Obessa though b/c every time she started a mask she had to restart b/c it wasn't perfect she never did finish a mask and ended up w/3
Oh well. After UK we went to Canada sampled some more of the local beverages and then backtracked for a refill in UK then made our way to France. Rested for a moment while the kids masked in Morocco, Japan and then we had dinner in America. Italy and Germany masked and watched TOD. OK I know alot of people love this parade but I am kind of tired of it I mean come on for the thousands of $'s we drop there every year they can't come up w/something else? IMHO. We made a quick run to China for some more food for Jordan and I desserted in Norway, yum yum. By then we were all whipped and deceided to make our way back. We still needed to chheck in WLV.
Check in was smooth and Tori wanted to stay all night w/us so she was along Randy and Darcy dropped us off. Later Darcy came back w/Taylor, Vanessa and Kaitlin for a short swim which our feet very much needed. it was really nice the pool was vacant in fact we noticed that WL in general was pretty empty even though the front desk said that every resort was 100% capacity. Then to bed.
Next day MGM and E night........
