Re: A very HOT trip to the World!!

Okay, on with the trip report!!
Last year when we went in June we would sleep in and get to the parks around 11-12 pm and spend the day. Wrong choice, as we were getting there in the heat of the day. But, we were on vacation and wanted to sleep. My husband said we would never go again in June because of the heat, but I talked him into it again saying that we would go to the parks early, come back to the resort at lunch time and return to the parks after dinner. We dtuck to this plan most of the trip and it5 made it much more pleasant, considering the temps while we were there!!
Our first fukll day was Monday, June 8th and HS had morning EMH. We grabbed a quick breakfast(are fiber one bars considered breakfast?!!!!)in the room and headed out. We got to HS about 8:10 am and headed straight to TSM. We grabbed a fastpass and jumped in line since the wait time said 30 minutes, but we only really waited fior about 20 min.!! My family and I love this ride!!!!
After TSM we headed to Star Tours since my DS loves this ride. I sat off while the other three went on with a 10 minute wait.. For some reason this ride leaves me feeling dizzy!!!
Next up was Muppet Vision, my DD fav!! Little did I know at the time but I would end up seeing this show7864659677 times in out 2 week stay!!!! DD could not get enough of it!! Actually, DH and DS would end up riding Star Tours just as many times!!!! This was the first trip where we occasionally split up DS wanted to do his fav and DD wanted to do her fav!!
We had 30 minutes to spare before we could use out fastpass so we jumped in line to meet Woody and Buzz!! I love all the fun photo ops while waiting in line!!
We then jumped in the TSM fastpass line and were on the ride in less than 10 minutes----Sweet!!!!!! I think this ride is rigged to give my husband a super high score!!!!!
We ate lunch at Pizza Planet-my kids love it there, and I know that my DD(miss picky!!)will eat pizza. Food was not too bad!! Back to the resort we went to chill out and swim a little!!
We had 5:55 ressie at Tusker House-this was a first for us. It was pretty good-everyone was able to find something to eat. It is just so hard to believe that a buffet for a family of four is $98 plus tip!! Thank goodness for the DDP!!
We spent a few hours in Ak since they had eve EMH. We did not get on EE since the line was about 40 minutes and we knew that we would be back several more times to get a fastpass. My DS and I did Primeval Whirl-it amazes me that Star Tours leaves me dizzy, But this ride did not bother me, except when I rode twice in a row!! Has anyone noticed that the right side is rougher that the left?
Next up was KRR-I stayed off with DD as she refused to go- this would become a trend this trip!! The boys came off pretty wet and decided to go again!! They had a blast but were pretty wet, so we decided to call it a night!! Great first day!!

Re: A very HOT trip to the World!!

Tuesday, June 9th-- MK had Emh in the am so we once again grabbed a quick breakfast in the room and headed out!! We were through the gates about 20 minutes after rope drop and went straight for Splash MOuntain and got fastpasses. We then hopped on the train to Toon Town to check out the lines for the Princesses and Fairies. The lines for the Princesses was 60 minutes and the Fairies line was 90 minutes!! We decided to wait and try at a later date. We got in line for Goofy's Barnstormer-another DD favorite!! The line was only 10 minutes
We then made a quick run through Mickey and Minnie's houses, but did not wait in the line to meet Mickey, since we knew we had several other opportunities to meet him!!
We headed back over to Splash to use out fastpasses. First up was my DS and I since DD refused to go!!!! Refused Splash Mountain---what in the world is wrong with her?? I texted my husband after we got on the ride(only aboutn a 15 min. wait) so he would know when to look for us coming down the hill. He got the best pictures of us coming down the hill and got us waving as we came around the bend after the hill!! And might I add that I barely got wet!!!!!!!!
Next DH and DS went to use the other fastpasses for Splash. DD and I were waiting for them at the bend after the hill when I got a text from my husband-- they were stuck on the ride!! And not even at aq fun part!! They ended up stuck for 40 minutes!! For their wait they were given a fastpass to any ride in MK!!
We decided on lunch at Peco Bill's. The place was packed, and they no longer let you get a seat until you have your food. After lunch we headed back to POFQ for some rest and swimming!!]
We had a 5:35 ressie for LTT that we ended up cancelling since we were enjoying the swimming!! We ended up at Boatright's-poor use of a table service as we were not very happy with it.
Epcot had eve Emh so we jumped on a bus and got right on Spaceship Earth-a ride we all enjoy!! I do not remember too much of what we did but I know that we got on Soarin'-always a fun one!!!!! Another great day came to an end!!

I agree, my DS loves Star Tours and it makes me a bit dizzy but I love Primeval Whirl. Awesome trip report! I can't wait to read more.

That's an odd thing, as if the whole family has to stay near where you buy the food, the lines would be tremendously crowded. We also had a weird thing happen to us while there also. We were in the section to the left as you are heading towards the table area. It was quite full, and the CM kept putting the rope across, blocking the two exit/entrances for that area, while we were in there using it! Every time someone would get up to leave, they would stand there for a second trying to comprehend why they were being roped in. We had a table near the rope, so I kept unclicking it for the people to leave, then the CM would walk back, give me a look and re-click it.

Re: A very HOT trip to the World!!

Do you have a photobucket account? If so that's much easier.

If not..click "Go Advanced"
Scroll down and you'll see manage attachments. You can upload your photos there.

If you get an error message your pictures are probably too big and you'll need to resize them. It's a pain..so Photobucket is easier.

Oh my...90 minutes for the fairies...this is the part I am dreading about taking DD. I can't stand to wait 90 minutes for my favorite ride, much less to see characters!
