Day 1
We arrive at the Polynesian Resort at 7:30 AM Tuesday morning the 27th of May. Our room was ready so we checked in unpacked and checked out the view and ammenities. We had a PERFECT view of the volcano pool. It was a beautiful sparkling day and not to mention we had a "partial" lagoon view we could see the GF and the wedding house. We ate a nice breakfast at captain cooks (I know its the fast food place but it has that touch of disney magic). The food was delicious and Then we headed to the car to go to Disneys Animal Kingdom to start our vacation. We arrived at 8:30 AM I grabbed a Iced moca while waiting for the park to open.. gotta love them. They actualy opened the gates at around 8:45 AM a bit early which was a nice suprise. We looked at some of the animals at the entrance and headed toward dinoland U.S.A On the way we did Its a Bug's life because there was no line and we probably would not head this way later. Dinol Dinosaur being our favorite ride in the park was of course first and a great way to start the vacation.
Afterwards we looked at the shop outside of the ride, and purchased a Pal Mickey.. This guy is chock full of corny jokes (still very funny) and great information. We then did the Primeval whirl spinning coaster, for not having the traditional disney theme it is still great fun! We headed towards Asia to do another favorite, Kali River Rapids. We got soaked.. no drenched on this, everytime I do it I marvel at the great story and theme to this ride.. it almost makes you want to
.
After getting off and we hopped right back in the line at the "re-entry" and did it AGAIN:sohappy: . My only complaint is that it is rather short but such a great ride. After thiswe did the jungle trek, I noticed a new prehensile tail skink in the bat house (I'm a reptile freak.. I would notice these things..)
As we headed towards Africa we grabbed a fast pass for Kilimanjaro safaris and went to Rakifi's planet watch for the first time, never noticed it actually. This place was great and we spent about an hour and a half here, we got to kilamanjaro safaris 5 minutes before our fast passes went bad :lookaroun.
This ride is a beautiful creation and the animals are great. After that we went to get the Pal Mickey activated and we left as we are not into shows and had done everything we felt we wanted to do. Now being 2:00 PM we left to go back to the hotel. We had set it up so they had a cake and party accessories left for my best friend josh as his birthday was about a week from then (His birthday is actually this saturday :sohappy: ) He loved it and was really shocked. We ate some cake and relaxed a little bit and did a little unpacking and headed to the pool. We did alot of swimmin' n ' slidin and went to do the Water mice and they sayed we were not tall enough, This was a big disapointment but the CM sayed that I could put socks in my shoes and spike my hair and they would let me on.. I was about 1/2 inch too short:lookaroun . We got on and I drove my friend around and to Bay Lake. It was a great time and those little things go FAST!
After all that exitement we grabbed some E-ride night tickets for magic kingdom that night and did some more swimming. At 6 PM we left for the Magic Kingdom we got there and as we got off the monorail I get a phone call from mom and we forgot our TICKETS! ugh.. this was a big bummer so we had to jump back on the monorail and grab the tickets and get back on the monorail just in time to get back to Magic kingdom for E-ride night. Of course we did Space Mountain first. No wait at all and we did Buzz lightyear right after. My friend had a realy bad headache so we took a break and rode TTA and relaxed and layed down for awhile. After that it was off to Frontierland to do Splash mountain and Thunder. We did splash first and it was a great ride esp. at night! Thunder was great too but not my favorite ride. After that we did Haunted mainsion.. We scared these girls realy bad by banging on the back of there car they were screaming. After that we headed back to Tomorrowland for another run on Space mountain and we also did Astro orbitor. Then it was time to go home after doing some pin shopping at the emporium of course:sohappy: . We got back to the hotel room to find my mom sleeping and my friend practically passes out. Of course I am not a sleeping type and I was no where near tired (10:30 PM) So I went to the pool to do some swimming and then I ordered room service and fell asleep happily every after...
Everyday is magical!

. So we waited 25 minutes for ToT and we got a GREAT sequence. We dropped from the top to the very bottom TWICE. We rode again right after and got the same sequence. (used our fast passes) and got some for RnRC and waited in the regular line for it now 25 minutes long . It is a great thing to do in the morning! Right after we got right back on with our fast passes and headed back for the hotel. We rented the water mice again this time each getting our own boat. We did them for an hour and had a blast. After that we pooled it for a little bit and got some Pina coladas (gotta love um!) anc I and my best friend Josh jumped on the monorail to Epcot now being 6:00. We headed directly to Test track did not pass go or collect $200. We rode it once and looked around at M:S and some stores (Test track exit store and Mouse gear) and headed to Houney I shrunk the Audiance and it was down for referbishment.. apparently they are putting up new screens. For this they kept the photo lab open late and we were in there for about an hour messing around with stuff, great fun. We went back to Test track and I got the middle seat and i came off the ride with INCREDIBLE back pain (And I am 13 BTW) They let my friend get back on this it was about to close and i just sat in one of the cars at the post show and I also bought a pair of Halfpint oakleys with a black frame and flame lenses just because. My backpain got worse and by the time we got to the park exit the illuminations croud was there and I had to have the security gaurd escort me to the monorail and make sure I had a seat and did'nt wait in line (whoever you are if your out there thank you a bunch) We got back to the Polynesian and I was just like out.. the pain was so unbelievable. We called the hotel main lobby and they called the manager of the entire polynesian resort to come to our room and check things out.. somehow it got canceled and they offered to havea ambulance take me to the emergency room on them.. we wanted to wait awhile to see if it would get better. I took some tylonol and my mom put hot towels on my back and lots of pressure and it got alot better. We ordered room service and went to bed...
