We had a near perfect trip. The weather & crowds were great. We had all been before but this was the first time for all of us to stay on the property. We stayed at the Pop Centurty and have no complaints. It was perfectly fine for the mininal time we spent in the room. We were in the 90's building and i'd heard there was a long hike from there to the bus stop, but we didn't find it far at all. Magical express and the bus service was great - no complaints.
Day 1 MK & O'Hana We arrived at noon so we didn't do a whole lot. We got in to see the new Monster comedy thing and were alittle dissapointed. It was just OK... could use some more creative touches. O'hana was terrific except for the lady singing. She was not very good and i know Disney has better talent than that!
Day 2 Epcot, Coral Reef & MK for EMH. Soarin is terrific!! we road it several times and it is a new favorite. Nemo on the other hand was a little lame. I guess the smaller kids may enjoy it but we did not. Turtle Talk was very cute...I wish they could make the moster thing this good. Food at the Coral Reef was terrific. I was a little worried after reading reviews, but the food was great, portions were very large & the service exceptional. The chocolate wave was to die for! EMH at MK was even better we walked onto Splash & Buzz several times :D
Day 3 - MGM & 50's prime time. Nothing much new at MGM except the Car stunt show - it was just ok. not really my cup of tea. i think they could use more new things at MGM. We did NOT like 50's prime time. The food, except for the milkshakes, was terrible. We will not be back there.
Day 4 - Epcot, Le Cellier & downtown Disney. We did soarin 2 more times - it gets better each time. Le Cellier was by far the best meal of the entire trip. we all wanted to lick our plates clean. I wish we'd eatten here twice!
Day 5 Animal Kingdon & boma - I love all the new additions at Animal Kingdom. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite parks. Everest is great - especially if you get the front car. It has a great view of EPOCT & MGM at the top from the front seat. I LOVED the nemo show. My husband didn't want to see it but ended up being impressed with it also. We were not impressed with BOMA. It was just OK. I was so excited after all the rave reviews but was not overly impressed. If we could do it again i change it out for another trip to O'Hana or Le Cellier.
Overall it was a fantastic trip. We will not be back for several years as we have plans to start a family and need to save $$ but i look forward to going back in several years and seeing what great new things they have added.
