This Image didn't turn out the way I wanted it to at all, but I still enjoy it.

Okay, thats all for now! Heidi has a bunch of pictures on her camera that we didn't upload yet, but we probably will only buy one more day of internet while we're here. MK today, yah!

Thank you all for the kind words, I will post some more soon. One more full day here, leaving Tuesday early A.M.

The only thing I'll say right now is we just got back to the room from MK, they had spectro at 9PM, Wishes at 10PM, and ANOTHER spectro at 11PM. It was a mad house!

Here's a couple from Heidi's camera from earlier in the trip...

Hello all. Quick update, we got back home earlier today, and we are spent! I'll get some more pictures and words and whatnot. Here's a quick pano for now...I'm still up in the air about it mainly because I had to crop the lower portion out due to someone walking right in front of the shot. Alright, thats all for now!

Alright so here's a quick rundown of Day 1:

Woke up extremely early (3AM) to drive to Heidi's parents' house so her father could drive us to Philly International Airport. No issues checking in or going through security (I had to check in at the airport instead of online for whatever reason, Heidi could check in online), and the flight left and arrived on time.

Got off the plane in Orlando, went straight down to DME check-in. Previously we have had to wait for a little while to get on our bus to the resort, but this time we walked right on! It must have been our early arrival (8:45-ish). So, 25 minute ride to the resort, quick check-in (online check in completed previously), and our room is ready for us at 10AM!

We had a room in Martinique, decent location within 5 minutes of bus stop and Old Port Royale (food court). We dropped off our carry ons in the room, went over to the food court, but since we had been up for 7 hours already, I didn't want breakfast. So, we headed to DHS for a little while. We were able to get on TOT & RRC relatively quickly, rode the Great Movie Ride, and attempted for the first time to ride Midway Mania (the line was extremely long, more on that later). Not wanting to wait, we decided to head back to the resort to see if our luggage had arrived yet.

Luggage was there when we got back, so I changed and we headed out to the food court for our mugs, and decided to hit up EMH at Animal Kingdom. This was an extreme success in that we got on EE, Kali River Rapids, and its tough to be a bug in about 1hr 40min total! I will say that I don't think Animal Kingdom was designed to be open after dark, because it was very dimly lit! Anywho, after a quick ride back to the resort, we split some chicken nuggets and called it a night.

Well, thats all for now. I'm going to try to write one day at a time, once per day, if that makes any sense. Other than animal kingdom, shots from the rest of the day are in the first post of this thread.

Funny how one day turns into a week before you know it! Alright, day two...

Day two started in Magic Kingdom. We opted to wait until we got to the park before we ate breakfast, so we headed to the Main Street Bakery first thing, and man oh man was it delicious! Heidi got a cinnamon bun, I opted for the double chocolate muffin (it might as well have been a cupcake), both delicious.

After that we went over towards the castle and made our way to tomorrow land.

We tried to ride SM first, but they were having technical difficulties, so instead we went over to Stitch, Monsters inc, and Buzz Lightyear. By that time they had reopened SM, so we went over to that. This was the first time we had ridden it since the refurb, so I was excited to see what was done. The queue was alright except for the loading area, which was just a big blue room with lots of zigs and zags. Here's a couple shots I attempted.

And we're baaack!

So, after SM we took a walk over to Splash and BTM, both of which had rather long wait times. Instead of waiting, we decided to ride the RR to the front of the park and head over to Epcot for the afternoon/evening.

We arrived in Epcot, went to ride SSE just for kicks, then went over to Mission Space. Now...I have only ridden MS one other time, and just about passed out on it. I can handle just about any sort of thrill ride except for those that spin, but I made it a point to ride again to see if I could make it through. I did survive, but still did not enjoy this. Oh well, no harm no foul.

I was pointing to SSE, or I thought I was anyways!


So after that, we decided to have a drink at a few different countries in the showcase. I had never done that before, and it was a blast! We had beer in Japan and Germany, a Gingerita in China, and margaritas in Mexico. After that, I wanted to watch the Phillies game, so we hopped the ferry over to the Boardwalk. The ESPN club was nice, even though the Phils were rain delayed! Once we left there, we caught a bus to DTD and went back to CBR from there.

Well, thats day two for you in a nutshell! In the next couple days I'll post day three. Bye!

Quick summary...
-Magic Kingdom in morning -- Rode SM (lost one of my Phillies hats :(), BTM, HM, ate at pecos bills (yum!)
-Went over to Poly for a quick snack, then back to CBR
-Left for Epcot fireworks, which did happen, but got rainy and gross afterwards.
-Tried to get dinner anywhere in park after the fireworks, which didn't happen, sooo my great idea was to order some shady take out food from the resort. I ordered a Philly Cheesesteak, and Heidi got fettucini alfredo. Needless to say the food tasted like it was heated up frozen food, but oh well we survived!
