Trip Report WDW Summer 2016 **COMPLETED**

I'm back from Disney World after a week filled with fun, huggable, cheerful, laughable, and a lot more, but now i'll show you some fun reports about my trip:

Day 1: The Magic Kingdom on the first day!
Before I Arrived there, i got myself a pair of BB-8 Mouse Ears and everyone went crazy when i did the BB-8 thumbs up to the awesome cast members!, then i went up to Cinderella Castle, so i went on my first ride of this trip, the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train! it was a blast, my mom liked it, and my sisters went bonkers in that ride, one of the cast members from the ride liked my DuckTales shirt i was wearing, and then i went inside the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor show and OMG! It's always funny and also never gets old, and went on the Buzz Lightyear ride, but halfway though my older sister had a higher score than me, the ride broke down for like 5 minutes, but went back to normal and had our points reseted and had a higher score then my older sister!, and then went on the Peoplemover but it broke down just as we came down there, but it was fixed so we went on it!, and before dinner i had to fill my autograph book, because i didn't see any characters yet, so i went to the new Princess Fairytale Hall to meet my favorite princess Punzie(Rapunzel) and also Tiana, i was excited to meet my favorite princess and i waited like 25 minutes or so for them, so when i went up to Punzie, i decided to give her a big hug, so i quickly ran up and hugged her and said "I Love You Rapunzel!", and she said "Thanks, I Never Met Anybody That Said I Love You to Me." as she was my final autograph i got the last time i went, she was the first character i met at Disney this year, got my pictures, gave Punzie one last hug, and we both blew kisses to each other, as we became best friends that day!, also i met Tiana as i hugged her and i said that i haven't seen Tiana in a long time, as i didn't meet Tiana on my last trip, and finally i rode the new version of Dumbo! it was so fun!, then finally before dinner me and mom rode the Barnstormer and my mom was terrified on it, but i thought it wasn't that bad, and finally dinner came as the newest restaurant in Adventureland as i ate was called "The Jungle Navigation Co. Ltd. Skipper Canteen", my gosh it was great, i drink a Fanta Melon Frosty soda, and i loved every sip of it!, and my dinner bowl was a Rice Noodle Bowl that tastes like chicken, but i didn't finish it all, but who cares? as we came out of the restaurant the Electrical Parade was starting as it was coming to an end at Disney World, i had to see(most of)it! So that was Day 1 of my 2016 WDW Vacation!
Here are some pictures of my first sweet day there:

Day 2: Disney's Hollywood Studios(my favorite WDW theme park), As We Shine a Spotlight on a Dream
My second day in the parks started out on a soggy one, as it was raining when we came to Hollywood Studios, the first ride of the day was no other than Toy Story Midway Mania, of course it's fun as always, after that i wanted to meet Sofia the First and matter the fact, i did meet her, i gave her a hello hug, an autograph, i was ecstasy to see her, took pics, and said bye to her and gave good bye hugs to her!

Then i had lunch at the always awesome looking restaurant "Sci-Fi Dine In Theater", and of course it's good i had Ribs and had a fruit salad as my dessert, after that we met Chip 'n' Dale as i told them that they were awesome on Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers, I Saw some Roger Rabbit stuff in the park(a sign with Roger, Baby Herman, and Jessica Rabbit, the Roger Rabbit hole, and the Valiant & Valiant logo) and then we all watch "For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration" and my gosh it was awesome, also it had a few funny parts where the people said when they saw Kristoff, they think he was Justin Bieber and then everyone went bonkers(crazy), also they said Pokémon GO! a few times, and also referenced other Disney movies(Bambi, Lion King, Big Hero 6, Finding Nemo, Tarzan, etc.), but they were a few things we got to sing along with, and the finale was awesome(Elsa appearing on stage to sing "Let It Go" with Anna, the two funny hosts, Kristoff), and also we went on Star Tours to check out the new Force Awakens scene and BB-8 was on the hologram, I Also met Olaf in the new Celebrity Spotlight area(which might change characters soon)which is awesome, and me and Olaf did the Baymax fist pump and everyone loved it, before i rode the Great Movie Ride, i saw some footprints near the entrance including Mickey, Minnie, Roger Rabbit, Robin Williams, Jim Henson, etc. We went inside the One Man's Dream area to catch a preview of the new Pete's Dragon movie, and my gosh it looks good(might not be as good as the new Jungle Book movie)and emotional in some parts, and finally ended my second day on a triumphant note with the ever popular, but underrated attraction "The Great Movie Ride", with new sponsor, narration, and my favorite the finale montage with a lot of films including Guardians of the Galaxy, Tangled, Frozen, Star Wars: The Force Awakens(as well as A New Hope), etc.

Sorry i didn't have enough pictures from Day 2, but stay tuned for Day 3 as i went to Epcot!

Day 3: Epcot Emotions, Flying Around the World, and Nemo!
Me and Dad arrived at the park an hour ahead of my sisters, before we headed to our first attraction, i decided to meet Daisy Duck which the line was like 15 minutes and i came up to her and got her autograph and photos, finally the first attraction of the day was the "Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival", which has 3 short films from Disney Animation and Pixar the shorts were, Get a Horse, La Luna, and For the Birds, but halfway though La Luna, there were problems with the 4D effects and the shorts had to end because of these problems, but anyways my two sisters came but mom didn't feel like going, and the next ride was the all-new Soarin' Around the World and it was awesome, the scents were nice, the music score was incredible(like its original version)that actually gave me goosebumps, then we had some drinks which i had a Fanta Blue Raspberry slushy(it was so good), then we went inside an air conditioned Seas with Nemo & Friends and checked out some sea life creatures and fishes, then also we went inside Turtle Talk with Crush to see some new characters from Finding Dory(saw Hank and Destiny), then i finally got my chance to go ride Figment(thanks to my little sister) and i saw Weebo from Flubber when we were in line and also the ride itself wasn't that bad, but we kinda got skunked for a few seconds, but now was the best time to meet Joy and Sadness of Inside Out that wait for them took us an hour(believe it or not!) and then we i finally came up to them i went to Joy first and gave her a big hug and gave her my autograph book, then i went to Sadness to help one of the blue memories and gave her a soft hug. Finally we all got pictures with them!, finally i went to the Seas with Nemo and Friends ride and it was fun, and finally we went back to the resort(Polynesian Village), as that mom will take us to Disney Springs for a little fun, as at the World of Disney store i got a plush of Elena of Avalor and a Mickey Mouse Club Vinylmation figure(i got the chaser), went inside Once Upon a Toy and got myself a Collector Pack with three mini figures and a Stitch Tsum Tsum, and finally at the Pin Trader store i got another Vinylmation box, which was a Pixar box(i got Linguini from Ratatouille)and also had a mediocre dark chocolate sample at that chocolate shop and it was it for the night! Stay tuned for Day 4 of my wonderful summer vacation at Disney World

Day 4: The Magic Kingdom pt 2(twice as many characters, more rides, more fun!)
When I Got Up i decided to go to the Magic Kingdom by myself for a few hours before the rest of my family goes there for lunch at Crystal Palace, the first thing i did was meeting Stitch, he had to take two breaks in between so i waited 20 or so minutes in line to see him(including the two breaks he took).When i finally got to see him, he was playing around and pretending to be Darkwing Duck and BB-8, and then i decided to meet Tinkerbell which her line was 40 minutes long to get though, and then when i finally got inside Pixie Hollow, Tink was ready for me! As I gave Pixie hugs to her, i got her autograph, then i got my pictures with Tink, as she said "Say Pixie!", and finally i decided to give her one last pixie hug , and then i went to Adventureland and got myself a cup of water for free, and found Aladdin and Jasmine for their wait wasn't that long, and finally in Tomorrowland i found Buzz Lightyear, as his line was a little long and of course i met him! I Was going to meet Merida from Brave but her line was a little long(despite the film isn't talked about a lot since the movie came out, won an Oscar, became a Disney Princess, and appeared on an episode of Sofia the First) so i had to go straight to the Crystal Palace to wait for my family to come, then we finally had lunch at Crystal Palace of course it's good with Pooh friends and so many food choices to have, Eeyore came to our table first as i dropped my pen and he had to use a marker, then dad got me a new autograph pen just in time for Pooh who came next, then Tigger, and lastly Piglet. Once we were done Rafiki was meeting in Adventureland, but sadly his line just closed for the day, But however me and mom went on The Magic Carpets of Aladdin ride(it wasn't that bad) and we used our first Fastpass+ option of the day, "Pirates of the Caribbean", of course the ride was good, but i did get wet a bit because i was sitting up front of the vehicle with my older sister. Then after a few minutes of walking i saw Woody and Jessie coming out backstage and we decided to get in line to catch them, but we were a few families away to seeing them, they took a break, but came back out, and finally i met not only Woody, but i finally met Jessie after 4 trips!, finally my dad and sisters were going to the Laugh Floor, as me and mom decided to go inside the Hall of Presidents show, and my gosh, It was so good, and actually emotional that it made my mom cry for a few parts, and my next Fastpass+ option was Enchanted Tales with Belle, i got the part of one of the suits of armor, which don't move during the show, so i couldn't get a proper hug from Belle, just a picture sadly, but it was still fun anyways, then we went on the new Little Mermaid ride, it was fun but it paused for a minute, next we caught It's a Small World which was fun, but everyone else didn't care, also we rode the Haunted Mansion(not that boring mediocre movie from 2003)it was not that scary, and before dinner me and my sisters rode the Mad Tea Party, also i had dinner at Cosmic Rays restaurant which i got a BB-8 sipper filled with Coca-Cola in it, i realized that i wanted to meet Cinderella and Aurora in the Princess Fairytale Hall, oh my gosh! that wait was 70 minutes! my dad left so he couldn't take pictures but the PhotoPass guy took pictures anyways but i was really nice to both princesses which i commented that their new dresses and hairstyles are cute and liked them, but as night fell me and Dad rode on Dumbo again, but Mom wanted to ride Winnie the Pooh so we got on with her, but some areas were closed off due to Wishes fireworks that were going to start and after a near 12 hr day at the park(for me)all of us except mom went back to the resort, so that was Day 4 of my vacation so far, Stay Tuned for Day 5 of my WDW vacation Summer 2016

Day 5: Breakfast at 1900 Park Fare and Hollywood Studios(again):
Another day here in sunny Florida, as we're starting a little later for breakfast at the 1900 Park Fare restaurant at the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, as we arrived there we were offered a breakfast buffet, as the first character who came to our table is Tigger, and then i got the last Mickey Waffle before they put a new stock of them, then Pooh came to our table, i also got strawberry yogurt and white rice, the Mad Hatter came to our table next(the only character at that breakfast who i never met)pretended to drink out of one of my antenna on my BB-8 ears, and also the juice they gave at the breakfast was meh(wasn't too good), but the next character to come to our table was everyone's favorite Mary Poppins, i gave her a hug(as she calls them morning cuddles)and we all got a picture with her. So we waited like 20 minutes for Alice to come to our table, when i hugged her, one of my MagicBandits(Olaf) was stuck in her hair(which was very soft). Then we finally arrived at Disney's Hollywood Studios we had to use our first FastPass+ option of the day which was a show we never saw before, Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage, it was an awesome broadway like musical version of the beloved Disney movie! Also we used our second FP+ option of the day, another show i never seen before which is Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, but unlike Beauty and the Beast i was kinda bored with it, because there were so many people cheering and some people were throwing meltdowns in front of me, but the finale was good with the explosions and stuff. the Indiana Jones show was OK in my opinion(there was nothing to write home about), but way too overrated in my opinion, then we had to use the restroom so there was a jam-packed line near the Olaf meet and greet, so we had to use it at the ABC restaurant but a few minutes later we decided to go on Star Tours a second time on this trip(thanks to FastPass+), when we were on the ride i was the rebel(me in the BB-8 shirt and BB-8 Mouse Ears!)and the Force Awakens scene was used again, but we went to Jar Jar Binks' homeland as well. After that all of us except my little sister saw the always funny, but some people call it kinda outdated Muppet Vision 3-D, the only complaint about it was that some parts of the pre-show were interrupted by Constantine from the underperforming Muppets Most Wanted movie and of course the main show is great, but the best part is where Mickey Mouse actually appears in the end thanks to Waldo, and is voiced by the late Wayne Allwine(best voice of Mickey Mouse)because the show came out in 1991, as we exited the theater, the walls were up in front of the Phineas and Ferb meet and greet which was still up(which could have been a Star vs the Forces of Evil or Gravity Falls meet and greet) and areas surrounding it, the Cars meet and greet was demolished and so was the Backlot theater. The next thing we did was go inside Voyage of the Little Mermaid show, of course i missed it the last time we went and also it's kinda outdated but it's still good for 1992 standards in 2016. Lastly we had to do the new Star Wars Launch Bay(where The Magic of Disney Animated), then mom had a meltdown that it's not only a meet and greet area, but there's a theater and also a gallery, so she and my sisters went back to the hotel, as me and dad went inside where the old Drawn to Animation show(with Mushu) used to be and played a little Star Wars film about how the future of the franchise will be about(Rebels, Force Awakens, Rogue One, etc.) and then we went inside and met a Jawa but i didn't have anything to trade the Jawa with sadly, and then i met Chewbacca , but since i didn't meet Kylo Ren or have a picture with the Stormtroopers sadly, i was on the light side that day. So it started to rain when we left the park so i was a little sad that we had to leave Hollywood Studios for this trip, in my opinion the first time at Hollywood Studios this trip was more fun than on the second time.

Stay Tuned for Day #6(My last day at the parks for this trip)!

Day 6: Epcot part 2(a.k.a. My last day in the parks)
Today(matter the fact it was Friday, August 12th, 2016), i decided to go to Epcot real early as i went out the humid heat, as before i went on my first attraction of the day i went inside Club Cool and i tried a few different drinks the first one tasted very weird(Beverly from Italy), but my favorite was the Fanta Melon Frosty from Thailand. My first attraction of the day was a second viewing of the time waster Disney & Pixar Short Film Festival and guess what? It didn't have any issues this time around. After that i decided to find some friends in World Showcase. First i met Donald Duck in Mexico, i talked to him about Huey, Dewey, and Louie and the other DuckTales characters, Next up was the new Royal Sommerhus in Norway, where i met Anna and Elsa from Frozen! First i went straight to Anna, she was very cute and i gave her some warm hugs! , and finally i went to Elsa(of course), same with Anna but she gave me the best hug. Once i finished my time with Anna and Elsa, i wanted to see Snow White, but her line was closed so i had to come back in a few minutes. But anyways i went on the Gran Fiesta Tour boat ride, it was actually not that bad. But when the time came, i decided to get in a jam-packed line for Snow White in Germany. A Few Minutes later Snow White came from backstage, and after 10 or so minutes in line i finally met her, and red is her favorite color(because of the shirt i was using). Finally when my parents came(sisters wanted to take the day off) we went straight to our first FastPass+ option of the day which was the all-new Frozen Ever After ride, it was awesome and it didn't break down. Then Mom wanted to go on Soarin' Around the World so we all went inside The Land area to go on the ride. Of course it was awesome and said it already that there were a lot of good things about it!, We had dinner at the Garden Grill restaurant and we were treated to a Thanksgiving-like dinner. I Wanted to go into the Character Spot to meet Mickey and pals!, When i saw Mickey i had to sing the Mickey Mouse Club intro, Also when i saw Goofy i said that how his son Max is doing and Goofy pretended to play a guitar like his son, and when i saw Minnie well she was just being herself. We decided to go shopping inside the MouseGear shop, and i wanted to get more Vinylmation figures, but my parents were low on budget so i only got two of them(a Frozen Marshmallow one and a Park Stars one). We all went on my last ride of the trip, Spaceship Earth and it was fun and it's funny that we got to have our pictures taken for the ride's ending. Then i had to say one last Goodbye to Epcot for this trip, and finally went back to our resort.
Stay Tuned for the Last Day(a.k.a. Departure Day, the saddest day on any WDW vacation)

Day 7: The Hard and Sad Last Day
Today(which is Saturday, August 13th)we leave Disney, Dad and my older sister are going to Animal Kingdom for Early Extra Magic Hours. Also it'll be my only day that i won't go to any parks. But i just started to burst out tears of sadness, and i decided to write a note to the nice and friendly cast members that were very nice to me during this vacation, i drew a few of my favorite parts of my vacation, and also that they would tell Elena i said hi(because i missed out on her, as she didn't start M&Gs yet she was just during a little show in Cinderella Castle), we had one last lunch before we leave at Captain Cooks, and had one last picture. I Finally gave the note to the nice cast member in the BouTiki shop named Carmen she was nice, but i was nervous to give her the note i wrote. But it was time to leave the wonderful place on Earth, as our plane had problems due to weather so we missed our flight to my home so we stayed overnight in Atlanta. But it wasn't until 1:30pm in the afternoon, the next day that we got back home, so that was my Trip report my next trip will be next May, but anyways i hope you enjoyed it!

Very cool. Fall is a nice time, with the Halloween party and Food & Wine festival (my favorite part of that is the food!)
