Hey All.......
Time for my trip report......if anyone is interested. Acctually, this isnt really a trip report, but rather a few comments on each park.
Arrived at All Star Music on the 11th of August, and the room was ready..which was good. It was a good location (jazz) only our view could have been a bit better.....oh well.
2 people on this trip were Disney first timers, so I had to make 2 believers out of them. We are all 20....so its hard to change someones perspective. By the 2nd day at MGM, they were already talking about going back next year.
First day, Animal Kingdom. Good way to start the trip with Flick! This trip was a bit dirrefent for us as we took looooooooootttts of pictures with characters, and even went to some character breakfasts too. As a first time rider of Primeval Whirl, I must say that i actually like it.....it was fun, and made us all laugh:lol: Mickey's Jungle Jammin was also done really well too. 5pm came, park closes.....and it rains for the rest of the night.
MGM. Great as usual......nothing but compliments here, although i missed the Cars parade cuz of the rain...but lucky for the hopper pass, i caught it the next day. I love the stitch sightings around the park too!! I got in the hot seat!!!!!!!!! It was so much fun, I lost at 8000, but it was all for the fun. This was our second game in a row, and i was determined to make it (as im sure everyone else is too) Also....I miss the old backlot....where you actually got to see some real productions going on. the closest thing you get to this, is the signs that show whos in each building just before you enter wardrobe. In this case....Travel Channel Secrets was there, but not like i got to see anything.
Magic kingdom, same ol'. Saw Cinderella's surprise.....is this a new show? I've never seen it b4. Also, I thought this was REALLY interesting......the lake/river by Splash Mountain.....we saw Crocs in it....we had mentioned it to secrurity and he said he knew.....there is a family mom dad and baby. Is this safe to have this? Share A Dream Come True is also a wicked parade too. Nothing like good Disney magic!
E(every)P(person)C(comes)O(out)T(tired) True to the saying....although i always appreciate Epcots beauty, the attractions do get to you after awhile, and test track is really the only thing thrilling. Also, seeing Kobe Bryant on Test Track was pretty thrilling too:animwink: Illuminations is the best way to end the day though. Mission:Space better be fantastic, or Epcot will be losing a lot of points with me. As usual, we had a tasty dinner at Nine Dragons, and gooooooood dessert in France.
The water parks were good as usual.....but i have now finally decided that i like Typhoons overall fun factor better than blizzard. Blizzard is more visual....but typhoons got the wave pool, the sharks, and IMO better lazy river.
Thats about all.......Downtown Disney is always great as usual. Did the yearly shopping of photo albums and key chains, etc. Also, I bought the 100 years of magic DVD, if anyone is thinking of buying it, dont, it only shows the 4 parks, and its not much more than you probably have from the vacation planner video (not to mention they left out soooo many new things). Waste of 30 US, thats 48 Canadian for me. :brick:
Other than that.................GOOOD TRIP, BRING ON 2003. (And Pop Century)
