Hello all!:wave: Fresh back from good old WDW and already I am in withdrawl.
Anyhow, this is my first trip report and I am not the best at typing and explaining so please be easy on me!
Also, my report will be spread out due to me writing this at work and never know when I have to go. So here we go........
FYI-There is 8 people in our group. 4 adults, 1 teen, 3 kids.(2 families)
Day 1:Woke up at Comfort Inn near the Philadelphia airport around 5am. Caught the 6am shuttle from the hotel to the airport for our 8am flight. Got to airport in about 10 minutes and checked in the backage after only about a 15-20 minute wait. Got through all of the new security with no problems and then relaxed until flight time. The flight down there was darn near perfect. As we went over Atlanta I waved to Mitzer as requested and got to Orlando a little after 10am. Got the luggage and then went to Mears so we could get transportation to the Port Orleans French Quarter hotel. We waited about 15 minutes for the bus and then we were on our way. Got to the hotel in about 30 mins. Went to check in and got our rooms right away. Building #2 right across from the cafe./office area. Our 1st impression was very nice. Very clean and nicely done. Got to our rooms did some unpacking and then headed to Magic Kingdom. By this time it is somewhere around 1pm. When we got into the park for the most part was not that crowded. We headed right down Main St. then made a hard left towards the Alladin ride. Walked right on. We proceeded to then go to the Swiss Family Robinson tree. As we came off the tree we were looking down at the stream and saw a few dead frogs. Thought this was kind of weird. We then moved on to jungle cruise and pretty much walked right on that also. We then stopped to a some McDonalds fries to hold us until dinner. We then walked over to check out the lines at thunder mtn. The wait was 30 mins. so we decided to move on. Walked to the haunted mansion and waited about 15 minutes. We then headed towards Fantasy Land and got our first signature from Dopey standing at the old skyway bldg. Walked past peter pan and its 25 minute wait and then decided to go on its a small world. Wait time was around 5 mins. By this time it was almost 5pm and we had priority seating for the Crystal palace so we decided to head over. Got in after about a 15 min. wait. The place looks as good as ever since the rehab. Food was great and the kids had a ball with the characters. I did have one to many pieces of carrot cake though. That is a big weekspot. After we got done eating we watched the spectro magic parade and the fireworks. both we good as always. After the fireworks we decided to call it the eve. and get an early nights sleep. Headed back the the resort got our mugs so we could refesh ourselves and walked around a bit to check out the pool,etc. Then we went to bed. Day 2 will be at Epcot and we have a priority breakfast for Norway scheduled.:sohappy:

But she was ok after awhile. After the ride we messed around in AT&T for awhile checking what was new. We then proceeded to the Living Seas. The cars are still down which upset us a little. After that, we decided to get some snacks to hold us over until dinner. As we ate we walked over to The Land to do the boat ride. As we were walking over Amber fell asleep in her stroller so my wife decided to skip this one. Little did we know once we got in that the ride was down and they didn't know how long it would be. So we scrapped that idea and made a b-line to Honey I shrunk the aud. This is where it all started. It was my turn to stay with Amber so everyone else went in. After a few minutes Amber woke up. So I figured lets go check out the New Imagination ride. At the beginning, Amber started to cry(dark again). But once the figment came out. The rest is history. My daughter was in love.:hammer: She went nuts for him. We then proceeded to go on the ride 3 more times. By now she was addicted some I bought here a figment doll to help the urge. We had to call it quits because our party was waiting for us outside. By now it was getting close to dinner time so we headed to Cananda where we had priority seating reserver. We looked around a little in some of the stores first but got there right on time. The atmosphere was good and so was the food. Everyone pretty much either got steak or beef tips. Love the bread too! After dinner we headed over to Mexico & Norway to look around and do the boat rides. Virtually no lines as usual. Then it was time to go back and do some more Test track. Lines were next to nothing so we rode once again several times(once for Mitzer as asked). Now it was around 8:45pm and time to go get some seats for Illuminations! Crowds were small and we could sit just about anywhere we wanted. We sat down and I had a child on each side of me in my arms. Talk about a Disney moment.
When I first saw where it was located I thought for sure I wasn't sleeping. But I was wrong. Got a good nights sleep.:snore: If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask either via this post or PM.:wave:
So close. Then on the 2nd set of questions I was actually in the running. Finished 5th when time ran out. I never do that good. It figures. Got done with that and had to go and see Mickey. Kids we dying to see him. We then headed over the Disney Playhouse. Amber was asking to see Bear. Once there we noticed the some had already started. We we upset. But just then a CM came out and asked if we wanted to come in. We said "you bet". Once in, the show was started but wasn't that far. There was still alot of sitting room left. Amber was in awe.
