Well here’s my trip report for July 13th-19th.
To start off I had a great time and still wish I was still down in FL! I can’t believe how difficult it is to try to cover 4 parks in 5 1/2 days! We seriously thought we’d fit a water park in there but never got a chance. We stayed at the All Star Music resort and had a blast! Great food, great service, great time!
We started off our trip in Animal Kingdom and experienced the new attractions there. The new parade is very “Tapestry” in a sense that the floats are gigantic puppets operated by the cast. It was a very cool idea!!! Primeval Whirl was pretty cool and seemed to fit well into the theming of Chester & Hester’s dinoland. What I found the most hilarious is that Imagineers had to make the tarmac look aged and worn with cracks and all. Later on that evening we checked out SpectroMagic at MK and I must say I love this parade. If I had a choice to watch this or Main Street Electrical Parade, I would watch SpectroMagic again. It’s very beautiful and the variety of floats is amazing! Next up was Fantasy in the Sky with Tinkerbell. They had the regular show and tacked on a little bit more for the 100 Years of Magic Celebration. It was pretty cool.
Next up was Magic Kingdom. The next day we went around and used Fast Pass to the fullest extent. Under all that heat, we decided to get FP tickets for all the lines that were outside, it really helped out! We did all the family attractions and then headed back home. The wait times for all the attractions were an hour plus. (E-ride night helped cover all the cool rides, no wait no lines, just run from one attractions to the next as many times as possible!)
Epcot was next, we checked out Future world during the afternoon and got to see the majority of the pavilions. We got a FP for Test track and the return time was 6 hours away. Ick
. Nothing much as changed in there except that the attractions in this part of Epcot closed around 7 or so.
The studios/Epcot was supposed to be next on our agenda, but Epcot was shut down due to a power failure. That really sucked! The entire park was closed and all the other parks were filled to the brim with guests! The studios was hammered by the influx of guests that they had to show 2 Fantasmics, and all the other parks stayed open later due to the closing
. So we stayed at the Studios all day long. We took plenty of pictures of the sorcerer’s hat (okay in my opinion). Then we checked out some of the new attractions, we also redid some of our favorites.
On the next day, Epcot’s World Showcase was our final stop. We worked our way around WSC starting in Canada. We made it as far as AA, and then we had to go back to the resort. From there we spent the night goofing around in the pool and then dinner at Wolfgang Pucks restaurant in DTD.
On our final day we went shopping at DTD, for our last minute souvenirs. I picked up a couple of cool books and “toys.”
