Howdy! I recently spent two days (3/18-3/19) at WDW with my wife and daughter. We left late because of commitments at work, and arrived at the All Star Sports Resort at 12:30a.m. We slept soundly that evening and headed out early the next morning to DHS. The following day was spent at the MK, from open to close. The weather was very pleasant, with temperatures reaching a high in the low to mid seventies. Thursday was mostly cloudy, and Friday was sunny all day. The crowds at both parks were pretty intense, but it really wasn't a major hindrance. We do not usually go during Spring break, so the longer lines at the attractions were a little bit of an adjustment. We called in an ADR for each park just a week ahead, and we managed to get a table at both parks! I have included a lot of photos, and I hope that no one minds the length of this report as a result. By the way, we are a bit camera shy on the internet, so you will see several shots of my good buddy rsoxbear. He usually hangs around my office at work with an assortment of Red Sox memorabilia, but I thought the trip might do him some good. Unfortunately, he had a hard time adjusting to the rules of proper behavior. More on that later. Well, here comes my trip report...
We arrived late and checked in to the All Star Sports Resort. There were a lot of sports teams and cheer-leading squads at the hotel, but they did not display any of the misbehavior that is commonly reported on this Forum. There is hope for our youth after all! The room was standard, and below is a picture taken before we soiled it with our presence.
This is rsoxbear. He was really jazzed about the room decorations.
Here he is checking out the local action. Worst pick up line I heard on this trip: "Hey baby, can I borrow a towel?" Painful!
It was late, the window decoration turned him down, and it was time for us to get some sleep. Next stop- DHS!!
We arrived at the Studios bright and early. Can you see the excitement on rsoxbear's face. I can!
We hurried to get a Fastpass for Toy Story Midway Mania, and the line to get a Fastpass was twenty minutes long! After taking care of that little chore, we headed over to The great Movie Ride. You can see below that rsoxbear attempted to commandeer the ride vehicle. The little guy's a freak.
Our host for the ride was none other than Joanna, a member of this Forum! I recognized her immediately. How cool was that? We sat up front, and I waited until the ride was through to introduce myself to her. She is a real sweetheart, and she did a great job on the ride. If you know her, tell her to check out this trip report. rsoxbear made his move, but was once again flying solo within minutes.
We decided to have "breakfast" at the Starring Rolls Cafe. Can you spot the hidden Mickeys?
My daughter loves the street shows at DHS. This is Otto VonBonBon. He started to put a choke-hold on rsoxbear, but the little guy knows how to take care of himself. Needless to say, Otto is now singing tenor.
We then headed over to Toy Story Midway Mania to use our Fastpasses. I had to take the controller away from rsoxbear when he started shouting, "die,die" at every panel. Freak.
