....a good day anywhere else!
Hello folks I'm back and here's my first trip report.
Our family group consists of me, trip planner and kid at heart, DH who enjoys Disney almost as much as I do, 13yo DD who is still willing to ride Dumbo with her Mom, and 10yo DS, winner of the Disney Trooper award for this trip (details to follow).
Trip Overview
The Good-Contemporary was awesome, illuminations cruise outstanding, breakfast at Cinderella's castle-lots of fun, great meal at Spoodles, private audience with Pluto on the ferry for DS-the best!
The Bad-DS got sick on the flight down and neverfully recovered, DH got sick on day 2 and was sick the rest of the time, I hardly slept taking care of everybody and got sick on the way back!
The Ugly-DS getting sick:hurl: after some fool took him on Star Tours (apologies to those in the bathroom on Sunset Blvd on Fri afternoon!)
Day 1: We flew down from Dulles on Wed night. DS was getting warm in the airport while we were waiting for the flight. When he gets sick usually it's 24 hours so we were hoping for the best. Flight was smooth, rented car from National (love that Emerald Aisle service!) and we were checking in at the Contemporary at 10:30. DS perked up for that, he was so excited to be there. We got a great room, 7318 with a view of the pool area and dock.
Day 2: DS woke up bright and early and raring to go. His temp was down and he begged us to let him go to the park so we walked to the MK (7min)and were there for Extra Magic hour at 8am. DS was in charge of ride selection for the day, due to his illness. Headed right to TL and rode his fav ride, SM, then Buzz and the Speedway. Only wait was 5 min for the Speedway. Then we headed to FL where we rode Pooh, and Peter Pan the on to BTMRR, then POTC. Stopped for coffee at the Sunshine Terrace and by this time DS was starting to fade so we talked about leaving the park, but decided to get lunch at Cosmic Ray's. This was an excellent stop, good food choices for everyone and DS loved the "entertainment". We sat in there for almost 45 minutes just relaxing. DS was ready for a rest so we strolled out of the park and took the monorail back to the hotel. The wait board said no more than 5 minute wait for any ride when we left at 11:30. The park was empty!
