Trip Report Ah yeah, Dray is back and ready to rumble. A live attempt...

So we were supposed to be here Saturday but we just got here two hours ago. Let's just say so far the trip so far has been like Oregon trail. We went to our hotel and got checked in and then we went to grab something to eat at Wendy's.

We were sitting at the red light in front of the machine gun place on 192 and some lady decided she was going to head over in front of me from the emergency lane. Nah, don't think so, brah.

Anyways, right now we are at Disney Springs, so if you're down there feel free to say hello. I'm wearing the Polamalu Jersey.

Lol, the hair is up on the trip. It felt good out there tonight. They say it's supposed to be 79 tomorrow. I think my boys and I will be at Epcot while the gals do their fastpasses at DHS.

Yes we are. The question is when. 2019 is our "every 2 years" but it's going to be challenging to arrange. The thought of waiting until 2020 when the Star Wars hype has died down a bit is appealing.

We're gluttons for punishment, so we're coming back in September for two weeks. Not for Star Wars but for MNSSHP and HHN. Should be interesting.

So far, status quo. We had lunch at McDonald's and headed to the TTC. Went through baggage check and the guy checking our diaper bag was looking for forensic clues or something because he dropped one of our baby bottles and busted the Iid. Down one bottle. Total accident but it does lower our bottle count by one.

Moved on to the ticket booth to turn in the renewal cards and that took way longer than it should. The lady was nice though, so that helped. Now we're on the platform waiting on the next Epcot monorail.

We rode Nemo and figment and now we are on our way to Hollywood studios. They are testing out the gondola system right now. It's kind of crowded but pretty manageable the wait times aren't too bad.

Please forgive any grammatical mistakes or capitalization mistakes I'm using talk to text.

We hit Toy Story as a group and did pretty good. I got 257k but Justin managed to beat me with a 263k. Meh, not too bad but someone in our vehicle got 289 and someone that hour got 507k. The Toy Story area is really nice.

We went back to Epcot and cruised over to the Japanese gift shop to peruse their wares. After that we headed back over to the Magic Kingdom.

We got just past the Noodle Station and posted up to watch HEA. Absolutely love it. By the time that was over, it was time for our Buzz fastpasses and then over to the Haunted Mansion before closing.

After that it was our usual closing ceremony of letting the boys run off some energy while we wait for the crowds to leave. Well, the first part was easy but the latter not so much.

Upon exiting, the monorail line was all the way down the ramp and zig zagged two or three times. The ferry line was backed up to the walkway. At first it didn't look so good, as we only spotted two ferries. Within 5 minutes we noticed another one and we were on a ferry within 15 minutes.

Another great night closed out. We grabbed some grub and now we're about to hit the sack.

Unfortunately, we didn't go to Epcot last night. Amy said I could go over there and see him but I feel guilty about missing any time with the family. Besides, I know he's coming back to Epcot. Next time I just need to pay attention to the concert schedule so I can plan our Epcot days better...

After this we'll be headed to Animal Kingdom for our Dinosaur, Everest and Safari fastpasses.

Kilimanjaro Safaris and Everest are the rides I love at AK. I also enjoy the Conservation Station area, as it's calm and low key. (Your little ones might like it over there with the brief train ride to get there, and also the petting zoo.) Lastly, Festival of the Lion King is an amazing show.

Pandora is visually interesting,, and FOP was a good ride. But overall, it's my least favorite section of the park.
