For ease of reading, I'd like to summarize my trip by making the following statements:
1. Splash Mountain, while imperfect, was not NEARLY as bad as I thought it would be (the Jumping animatronic worked flawlessly, but the animated brer fox & rabbit running over the hillside and the chick bunny that says whatever she's supposed to say weren't functional)...and yes, the handlebars smell like death
2. Turkey legs still rock. Oh, and I found the single cheapest food item in all of WDW: A package of pretzels from the candy shop in MGM: 79 cents!
3. The worst EVER is when you're in the exit tunnel at space mountain and a group of about 46 seventeen year old cheerleaders SHRIEK some stupid cheer that lasts longer than the carter administration
4. 45,679: the number of times I had my foot run over by a stroller
5. 142,120,670: the number of times I heard "test track" referred to as "fast track". Same applies for "Mission to Mars", "Haunted House" and "Star Mountain"**
6. Best Moment of the trip: Lunch at epcot the first day, consisting of a roast beef sandwich from Electric Umbrella (I should mention it was my first taste of bread in 2 weeks - Dr.Atkins was tormenting me from beyond the grave)
7. Worst moment of the trip: I was heading on the standby line for Mission: Space. Ahead of me were a group of 5 teenage guys obviously there with some sort of group as they were all wearing identical shirts. There was noone directly ahead of them, and the queue wrapped around about 25 feet or so down the line, so instead of walking they decided to hop the line (which is perfectly legit - they weren't cutting or anything, just taking a shortcut). I was just as happy walking though, so I went to walk around, and as I passed, the last of the teens jumped the line, and he fell forward - his feet went right into my stomach, HARD. Like I just got decked in a fight. He almost landed on his head, too. No hard feelings, it was an accident, but still - the worst part, by far (aside from leaving).
