Right now, Iam sitting at my laptop at Coronado Springs enjoying the evening amid the Magic. Yes, I know, I tend to stay away from anything below a deluxe, but this trip was designed around my family and we all had to stay at a moderate, but I will say, CS has been a wonderful resort, and I just might stay here again. But, lets get to some of ole Jimmy's insight of the parks.
* The new Fantasyland expansion looks amazing!!! The level of detail blows away anything I have seen at any theme park anywhere. Potter is not this good, but the Universal fanboi's will cry foul. If you can possibly get to see it before it opens, you have to seen it while it still has that intimate feel.
* Bad part of Fantasyland expansion? The LeFous Brew is disgusting. Cool mug though.
* Pepper Market at Coronado Springs has the best breakfast on property, bar none.
* On every frosty beverage I have consumed, I have had Disney themed paper cups with not only Disney World printed on them, but the characters as well. I even had a napkin with a bright red Disney Parks in Disney script. My toilet paper is plain white though, so Disney still is cutting corners.
* If you stay for Wishes at the MK, take the bus there, DO NOT take the monorail. We stayed until the end at MK tonight and the monorail had a queue that was from the top where you board all the way down to bag check with a bunch of zig-zags along the way. On look at that and I jumped on the swift resort launch to the GF and Poly. Ole Jimmy parks at Poly.
* Don't see where the doom and gloom sharpen their axes about the parks being this run down favela, lurve to break it to them, its not. Parks are clean and crisp. I did notice a stain on the concrete by my cabana door when I got here and called the front desk and after I showered it was gone. I wonder if the D&G crowd will see how that works. Nah. I doubt it.
* People are getting excited about Transformers coming to Universal Orlando? A recycled ride from the west coast? Can't Universal do better? Speaking of which, rode the Mummy and the queue looked like crap, worse than Buzzlightyear. The ceiling didn't even start on fire. Can we start a declining by degrees for Universal?
All and all so far, the trip has been fantastic. The people have been great and the weather perfect. There is like no humidity right now and the nights are warm enough to go swimming. Speaking of which, time to break out the Speedo.
More all week, all of it honest truth.
Jimmy Thick- Yup, the haters are lying to you!!!
