Yes a Positive trip report!!! Had an amazing time. Only one negative and i will get it out of the way first. For the past, well since pins came out we have got a Presidents day Pin because one of our trips to the world is President's day week every year. This year for some reason every place told us they sold out about two weeks before!! I was very angry because we have every year prior to this because they usually release them on Presidents day. If anyone knows where to get one please PM me, but i think i tried everything. Well that was the only negative besides that it was as magical as ever!! Some side notes: To me it seemed like there was way more character interaction and way more characters out there! I might just be losing it, but thats how i felt. Also, since it was President's day week it was very busy ,but always is. I have been during this week for 17 years and it seemed to be one of the more busier years though.
Where I stayed: Orange Lake Country Club ( Property touches AKL)
I loved it and have stayed there the past 5 Feb trips! ( I normally stay off ground in Feb and on property every other trip) I would HIGHLY recommend this resort to everyone especially the River Island part. The amentities are amazing and the room is spacious. The service was great and I pretty much love it. I know the place very well so if anyone has any questions PM me.
Presidents day i spent at EPCOT. As usual I loved it. I got on Soarin first thing in the morn. I ate at the Italian restaurant and recommend it. Hmm I also utilized the Disney Visa Card Holder character picture and thought that was great. I had a wonderful day at EPCOT and accomplished everything , but it was very crowded. Nothing too exciting to add. I do have a question that i hope can be answered. When entering the park part of my family switched passes to see if the finger thing really worked, but nothing happended? I know those must do something anyone care to explain? Thanks!
Tuesday I went to DHS with my gf. We got on TSM, RNR, TOT, and 3-d Muppets then went out to eat at Planet Hollywood. I wanted to eat at Mama Melrose, but it was her turn to pick. Still had trouble getting over no Fantasmic daily. I did manage to complain about that a lot, but o well. I still think it was an amazing day and I do love TSM greatly!
Wed. We all went to MK and of course being as enthusiastic as I have been throughout this thread, the day was perfect. Loved the new street party. As i stated before i think the character interaction was great and this new street party added to it greatly. I saw the new parade at 3 and did enjoy it. I do love the celebrate it song. The highlight of the day was riding SM since when I come back it will be down =[. Oh well i enjoyed it one last time and that was what was important. We had a Crystal Palace reservation for 2-3 and Lunch was pretty good, but i would rather have Breakfast there. I was able to see 2 Pooh's for a couple seconds when the 3 o clock parade rolled out and they had not brought the CP pooh to the back. I thought that was pretty cool to see how they worked that situation.
Friday We Opended up AK and everything went smoothly and I had a great time. I forgot to check out the AK secret path, but o well. Nothing knew there except it was very cold that morn and I noticed a lot of the animals on the safari were nowhere to be seen. Can anyone confirm that some Animals are brought somewhere?
My last trip to the world was Xmas and NYE for the first time and was much different and after reading all the negative trip reports i started getting worried disney might be losing the magic, but i must say i think it was as magical as ever. I can't wait to go back and i hope others do not get a negative feeling because it truly was great! Oh yah and the new Contemporary DVC towers look nice.
