RnRCJohn's Christmas AKL trip report

Finally, sorry for the delay..I am going to take the time to write a nice detailed one so here it goes

6:00 am Christmas Eve;
*Waking up to iPod's alarm playing heavy metal music to wake me up:lol: * rolled out of bed all excited and woke up my mom..did my hair, got dressed and did the final packing (contact lenses, computer..stuff I needed the night before) and we
where on our way..
6:30 am Christmas Eve;
We left out house, I popped in a linkin park cd and we left our neighborhood while everyone was still asleep. It was a beautiful morning with crispy weather, nice orangey sky with the sunrise and an near empty highway (we live in Orlando BTW:) ) and we ate breakfast at mcdonalds..hehe
7:00 am Christmas Eve;
We are at the front of the Animal Kingdom Lodge, Valet parked the car and checked in, our room was ready!:sohappy:

7:15 AM Christmas Eve:
We slid the little key into the door and about 3 trys after and the door actually opened:lol:.
It was beautiful, we had a perfect view and there were lots of antelope and the ones with the big horns (forgot the name) out grazing. we unpacked everything and relaxed a bit, watched TV..It was different then the normal resort TV with that top 7 attractions or w/e..man that girl is SO ANOYYING:fork:.
8:00 AM Christmas Eve;
We left our room and decided to try out the busses since we never had..they are better then driving actually..no walking and parking and junk. our bus to Epcot was there within a few mintutes and we were off. I brung my new iPod along and listened to some tunes while waiting for Epcot to open. It opened at around 8:30 and I went on Mission:Space, mom went to get Test Track FP. It was a spectacular ride as usual..I got off and we went to look around epcot..and at 10:00 it was time to hit TT
good ride, then we went around the world showcase and checked the france restaurant menu as we are eating there later. The we headed back to checkout the construction on
Soarin' and we went into The Land and did "Living With The Land"..My first ride since I was little...it was great!!, Defidently a ride I will do every trip now..never thought I would like it. we got out and it was time to head to
France for lunch
12 PM Christmas Eve;
We where in line for our reservations to france..aparently other people had the same idea! We got in..I wasn't feeling too hungry but I did have the bread which was delitious. and the home made potatoe chips..GREAT!!
12:45 Christmas eve;
We left the restaurant and decided to go back to the resort for a little bit and to open presents
Ok so we got back and we started opening our presents...First thing I opened DISNEY STOCK!! ..then my mom took a turn..she opened a CD I burned her (legally, I bought the songs on a program called iTunes) then I opened again and got a video camera..so the rest of the trip pretty much I have on video
then my mom opened the earphones i bought her for her work:xmas: and then..I also got an iPod as a early gift I had to prepare it for the trip (figure it out and stuff) I got some PS2 games, dvd, $100 and a few other things.

Thats all for now..will resume later.

4:30 PM Christmas eve;
We were done opening presents, and I was done putting my new cds onto my iPod so i grabbed my iPod and we left for our dinner reservations in canada at epcot..we got there right on time and we were sat in 5 minutes. Myself and my mom both had the Filet Miniore (SP?) with mashed potatoes and it was GOOD! It just melted in your mouth..I had the chocolet mousse for dessert and we left to look around and we went back to the hotel and we just relaxed we were very tired.
At around 8:00 we took a bus to DTD and saw Cat in the hat..I know the reviews where bad but this movie was HILARIOUS..we also went to virgin records and I made my first purchase ever with my own card (debit card) bought a Linkin park and a good charlotte cd and we did some more looking around and took a bus home..it was freezing cold and the bus took awhile..
12:00;
I fell asleep

Christmas Morning, 8:00 AM
We were woken up by a phone call from the front desk that we had asked for the previous day..We went to breakfast at the buffet resteraunt which was delitious..I noticed a bunch of parents abusing there kids at that..a dad yelling at his boy and his boy sayed loudly "I'm going to beat him up" and a mother yelling at her two kids who were only about 4 years old and they were crying.:( Oh joy its christmas lets make our children cry.
then we headed out to Animal kingdom, and as I expected everyone was at MK and the park wasn't full at all. We went directly to The safaris and suprisingly BARELY any animals were out. then we went and looked at the E:E site and got some pictures..it looks like its doing pretty well and what seems to be the QUEUE line building is almost fully formed. We went to Dinoland USA, rode dinosaur twice..on the second run I knew where the photo was taken and I looked at the carnitore all tough and was pointing at him..all the people in the car came out and looked at the picture and where laughing.:king: We rode the spinning coaster and did some more looking around.. and I got this done of me:

we left the park and relaxed at the hotel some more..ordered room service and watched the animals. I ordered a Grilled cheese & Fries and they brought me chicken strips and frys so they fixed my order and brought me a very delitious and well prepared dessert! How kind!
We later left for DTD again..i purchased some more cd's and we were supposed to see Cheaper By The Dozen at 8:30 but it was SOLD OUT as well as EVERY OTHER MOVIE. We got tickets for a later showing and that movie is VERY GOOD..It was hilarious..good morals and good all around movie for anyone..adult or child. We left for the resort, slept

9:00 AM:
We woke up, packed and at 11:30 left the resort:cry: :cry: :cry:. We went to Millenia mall and I got some speakers for my iBook and it was done..

Now i am home..missing disney:cry:

Here's what I think.

I think I am so jealous that you live so close to Disney World! And that you must have a wonderful mother. Sounds like she is very good to you!

John, sounds like you had a great time!

BTW, the caricature is OK, but girls, he's really much cuter! ;) (But way too young for my daughter; at least for now. :lol: )
