Trip report: Wally World, scratch that, Disney World here we come!

Same opinion on the EWP. I love it but it is really campy.

I still love the music. It's of the same style used in the Main Street Electrical Parade. Thanks for the pics.

Ok, AK today! So we hit pandora, then the safari, off to the lion king, then to everest to see the yeti, and down to dinosaur. Allong the way we say some animals and some of the kite show. Rain looked eminent so we headed back to the fort. Only one day left. Tomorrow is MK again, and some take out from PJs. We may get the holiday meals , they have turkey for thanksgiving.

Reflections.
Ok, so i planned more park days so I could do some half days. Thats never happened as the tickets are so much that I had to get my monies worth. So, i would do fewer park days next time or a longer stay.

Things that worked well:

Ice machine. On a longer trip this thing was worth its weight in gold. Just hit the start button and ice is on its way.

Electric cooler. Way cool , even though I didnt plan my meals out very well. I had plenty of room for any type of cold food.

My colman grill and white gas stove top. Both overpreformed. They heat up fast and even and pump out btus.

Things that didnt work out so well:

Insta pot. I used it , but not as much as I planned. It was good for reheating sause and meatballs, but I probably could have used the white gas stove.

The blackstone. I love it , but we were up so early and put to the parks it was never used. My idea of big breakfasts was squashed with the G+ of having to get up at 630 am daily. So , power bar, muffins, and quick foods it was.

G+. It created a more tired, non relaxing vacation. Alwats glued to the phone. Searching for a close ride with close times. It worked ok at MK. Was useless at epcott and HS ( except to get a SDD). And was surprisingly usefull at AK. When we did AK, we rope dropped pandora, 45 mins, and then every ride from there on out was a G+ with no wait.


Addtionally, we missed some of the fort itself. But this was because we didn't scedual park days. Its all good. Ot was a fun trip and we loved it. Still MK to do tomorrow and then pack up. So stay tuned.

@Sjm9911, I hear ya about Genie+.

I bought tickets for our short January visit yesterday (we are there 3 full weekdays plus arrival and departure days). Only one of those three days will be a park day (MK) and I skipped the G+ option. It's not the money, it's the principle. I am not a big cell phone/app user anyway. If we rope drop (we do), use a touring plan, and stand in line for 7DMT right before closing, we can get on most things we want to ride. In mid-January it's not a busy time if you can avoid the weekends.

Have a great day in the Kingdom tomorrow.

The rock and me had a relaxing night!

Ok today was MK. We got up early, and got there later, lol. Crowds were higher and we were further back. No worries as my plans are the best, and work out. Untill mine train was down, splash was down and the jungle cruise was down. Well the best layed plans through me a curveball. So, instead of pouting, we just walked more and got on everything again. We saw the parade, found chip and dale, and got some pictures inside the castle. I visted the fire house and we got some pictures outside the trainstation. We got back and did some looping on the scooters, and I got a picture of the pin trading board. We bought some more fort shirts and called it a day. We never saw Eds signature in the cement. It might be one of those things like where Jimmy hoffa is buried? Who knows? Ended the day with some early take out from PJs and got a whole 30 seconds to get a kicken it pic.

 

[Sjm9911]

Almost forgot the shoe tree. Sideways , i know.

 

[Sjm9911]

And dale got excited when I called his name. Lol. Probably used to being called chip.

No fun in that ed! I will find it , maybe when i retire. Or I may have put " ed " in a few of the new cement slabs they laid this week so you can't find yours anymore......

Oh many have tried the "I'll just search for it" technique over the last 10 years (I put them in the concrete 10 years ago).

And add my name to as many fresh pours as you want because I'll end up with credit for it. And I'll still know where I put mine originally.

Win-Win for me. So you have my blessing.

PS-Great long trip but it's got to be wrapping up soon, no?

 

[Sjm9911]
