Warning....This may be long and boring...but it sure was fun while it was happening.....
there were alot of first times for this
to be our 4th trip...haha
monday - as soon as we got to the gates we got our first magical moment - cm gave emily a get one give one tinkerbell trading pin, other was given away when we went crt, it was a little girls birthday beside of us and emmy decided to give it to her for her birthday.
second magical moment - walked up to indy speedway, 30 minute wait, wasnt going to wait, as we were walking away,
cm asked emily where she was from and asked if she would help him do something special, then took her and let her
"start" the next race, and took us to next in line with NO WAIT...woohoo.
later that night at chef mickeys, since we were celebrating emilys birthday and had a 5pm ressie, they asked emily
if she would like to open chef mickeys for everyone.....made a big to do over her and had a rope drop ceremony
then mickey and minnie came out and danced with her and led us to our table....very cool
Tuesday - went to EPCOT, got there way too early b/c we thought it was emh. anyway, while waiting in line, a line manager? came over and asked "princess" emily if she would like to help them open epcot for everyone. of course she said yes, they brought us in and took pictures, gave her a magical wand, and did a countdown where she waved the wand and "magically" opened all the gates and let everyone into the parks. rode everything we planned to do, only thing we didnt get to was test track, and mission: space (didnt plan on doing that one anyway)
the new Nemo ride is VERY cool, and in all of our trips this is the first time we visited all of the countries, we bought emily a passport, so it forced us to go all the way around...hahaha...
Wed. - went to mgm - no magical moments today, other than alot of first for us...first time riding haunted mansion WOW is all i can say, I cant believe i have never rode this in all of our trips. also first time riding rock and roll
rollercoaster....another ride i will never miss again, very cool..also, as we were walking up the walk to the backlot tour, we were asked to be "deck hands" during the opening part of the show...very fun.
first time eating at hollywood and vine..good food, but a long wait to get in even with ressies, took almost an hour to get in.
thursday - animal kingdom, slept in a little late this day, got to the park about 30 minutes after opening and it was
packed. we only rode one ride DINOSAUR...good ride, a little bumpy. we wanted to see the shows and parade we have
never seen, OMG the lion king and the nemo musical were AMAZING. I could watch both of these over and over and over
again. went to AKL and ate at BOMA for the first time, it was good, but dont think it was worth all the hype I had
heard about it. went back to CSR around 630 and swam and relaxed pool side for the rest of the evening.
Friday - back to MK in the morning spent the morning going back to some favorite rides. headed over to pirates and
got there just in time to do the pirate tutorial with capt. jack. this was very cool. Emily got picked to participate
and learned to sword fight. after that we went to dtd to do BBB, this is the second time we have did BBB and I have to
be honest, the first time (before it became so popular) it was alot less personable this time, seemed like it was very rushed
after that we went to 1900 park fare for dinner with prince charming. my daughters future husband :+). went back
to the hotel and had planned to go back to the parks, but was talked out of it for another round of going down the slide
at the dig site....
sat. - lounged around the pool, left at 11am and headed home....
overall - although we didnt run into any dream team members, I would have to say, this was the best trip we have
ever had to disney, weather was great, not to hot, no rain, and for it to be the first week of "summer", although the parks
were crowded, the lines were only 20-30 minute wait at most. I think the only think we waited longer on was goofy's
barnstormer, which was about 45 minutes. only 6 more months until the december trip...woo hooo
