Hello all! I'm back from WDW as of 4pm EST yesterday. I wanted to write my review as soon as I got back but I wanted to start uploading. Anyway:
PART I
4/17
I attended a regulr day of HS. Then 3-7pm our music department ( which whom I went down to Florida with) gave us dinner and a meeting. We eventually left the HS at 6:30pm. Then, the problems happened. My bus broke down at about 9:00pm just at the border of NJ and DE. We unfortunately needed another bus and we waited about 2 1/2 hours for the bus to come. We eventually hit DE at about 1AM!!!! It took us almost 7 hours to leave NJ!!!!!!!!!
4/18
I got about 5 hours of sleep and slept through Maryland and Virginia. We awoke at 7:30am in North Carolina for breakfeast at Shoney's! We then drove up to about 12pm through NC and SC, then another bus got a flat tire! We got stuck in SC and had lunch and the buses had problems with fuel! We eventually left SC at about 5pm. We got into Florida at 7pm and it took about 3 hours to get to the All Star Music resort!
4/19 Epcot day
We awoke at 6:30am for a guided tour of the All star Music by yours truly! We got to Epcot at 9:30am and were struck by mild crowds. We fastpassed Soarin then headed over to the Seas. We then went to the Future world west stage to watch our Orchestra performance. Then, we headed for Soarin and got additional fastpasses in line from another family! We rode it as a complete group at 4:30pm and got the fastpasses at 11am. Here were the highest waits from the day:
Soarin: 120
Mission Space: listed at 50 but was 25!
Test Track-100
SSE-20
Living with the land-25
others-0-15
We saw Illumiantions and loved it!
4/20 MK day
We awoke at 6am and went to planet hollywood for breakfeast. We got to MK at about 10am and the place was packed! We thought it would be good to head over to adventureland first, but we were diverted because of the crowds. We fastpassed Splash then headed for BTM and Pirates with 10-20 min waits. Then, we did Haunted Mansion which had 15 min wait. Then the HS Marching Band marched right before the Disney Dreams Come True Parade. Yes I did get to experience backstage. He are my views:
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's put it this way, I saw Mickey without his head
!!!! It was amazing. I recommend that you take the Keys to the Kingdom tour and experience it for yourself! Here are the peak waits from the day:
Pirates:45
Jungle Cruise-60
Splash-120
BTM-60
Haunted Mansion-30
Fantasyland rides-20-60
Space Mtn-70
Buzz-30
Astro Orbiter-60
Stitch-10
Laugh-20
OVerall it was packed but by these waits the park was not crowded to you. We tried to get from Tomorrowland to Fantasyland right before Spectromagic started. I did the mistake by going from the main entrance of tomorrowland to the castle. We were nearly a millimeter off from another person. We overheard that someone lost 2 kids in the massive crowd!!!!!!!!!
