I just got back from wdw last night, depressed to be back but figured i would let everyone know how it went!
DAY 1 : Took a 7 am flight out of Islip in NY, flew southwest Airlines, very nice flight, good service etc. got into Orlando 20 minutes early which was VERY nice. Got our luggage and went to Alamo to pick up our car. Alamo is now located in the airport. We got our car and we were on our way. We got to the hotel around 11 we stayed at the Radisson Resort Parkway. Nice hotel, kind of plain rooms but very clean and large bathroom was nice. The location of the hotel was great about a 3-5 minute drive to disney's maingate no complaints there. My Girlfriend and I decided to head out to epcot for the day. Got to epcot around 12, did the Honey i shrunk the audience 1st very fun. Than we had a quick bite to eat and we were off to test track. The wait time said 120 minutes we ended up waiting about 25 minutes. This was my first time on Test Track I was a little disappointed, didnt find it to be as good as I thought. Than headed over to Spaceship Earth, always a favorite of mine. Headed over to the living seas, where I guess we made a mistake and went to the elevators 1st which i thought brought us to the ride, ended up bringing us to the exit area, wasnt to happy about that. Headed over to world showcase it started to rain a little, nothing much went on the norway ride, entertaining. We decided to call it a day after that. Epcot wasnt very crowded at all, very nice relaxing way to start the vacation.
DAY 2:
Magic Kingdom-
Got to the parks at 9 went immediately to my favorite ride Splash mountain. Grabbed a fast pass for it , than went on the ride. My strategy worked perfectly throughout the trip get there early get a fast pass , than wait the 2 minutes to go on the ride! so after splash we went over the BTMR, always fun. went back and used the splsh mntn fast pass. headed over to tomorrow land got a fast pass for buzz, went on AE with no wait. went on the tomorrowland transit authority to rest a bit, waited to get a fast pass for space mountain, went on Buzz 1st time on it so much fun. Used the fast pass for space mnt. very upset to see CoP not open that has always been a favorite of mine. Got lunch at the starlight cafe. headed over to pirates of the caribbean 10 minute wait love that ride. It was around 4 and all splash mntain fast passes were given out my gf and I were standing near the park attraction waittime boards trying to see what was worth the wait. By this time splash mountain and space mountain were around 85-90 minutes. The cast member working by the boards was really nice she asked me which ride i was looking to go on and i told her splash mountain, she had asked me how many i had in my party and gave me a priority seating card for splash mountain that worked as a fast pass. Thank you so much Renata you rule :sohappy: very tiring day we decided to go back to the hotel and swim a bit before dinner. Went to the Olive Garden. anyway great trip at the magic Kingdom. I used all fast passes and got on everything i wanted early which was nice b/ the Kingdom was pretty crowded and we didnt wait for more than 20 minutes or so.
THE REST TO COME SOON

very fun atmosphere though it was my first time in there. The two girls who got picked to play were VERY nervous understandably so, very fun. Decided to get ourselves the famous Mickey ears ice cream bars. The weather was around 85-87 and humid so it felt nice to have some ice cream. We than went to see the Little Mermaid very cute show! We decided to just walk around for a little bit before leaving the park. we left around 5 and i dont believe RnRc was back up the tip board still had it listed as closed. MGM had some good crowds but because of our fast passes we never waited longer than 15 minutes for anything. Since RnRc was closed ToT wait times got up to 90-100 minutes YIKES!!
