Cast just me and DH. Both Disney fanatics
May 6th to May 9th
I was up early on Sunday since I couldn't sleep anyway. I was getting a little sick worrying about flying. Turns out it was all for nothing as usual. We flew out of Newark and the trip was great. On time, actually we landed early in Orlando.
DH went to get the rental car while I went to get the luggage. It took about 10-15 minutes before any luggage started to come out and then ours came pretty quickly. I met up with DH and we were off to our car. We were using L&M again despite major problems with them in the past. But this car was brand new with just a little mileage so I knew we were going to be ok.
In spite of all our trips to Disney I still get excited and can't believe we are really there when we are driving to Disney:secret: We stopped at the grocery store to get some drinks and snacks and then we went to PoP to check in. There was quite a line but it went very fast. At first our room wasn't ready but we asked if we could have the 4th floor and that room was ready!!! We were off to room 8463 by the pool and the big cell phone. Despite being by the pool there was no noise at all. We put an order in for our fridge and then headed out. I was able to go up and down the stairs twice, something I would not be able to do as the days went on:blush:
We headed over to the MK, they had there EMHs tonight. The crowds were not that heavy and the weather was beautiful. First we stopped for some bread pudding at the bakery. I love bread pudding and I love bananas but just not together. I would really prefer it plain but oh well. Then we headed over for Pirates, Mickey's Philharmagic and the Monster's Inc Comedy Show. It was so much better than when we saw it in November. I really enjoyed it. Then we went for some ice cream. I hate ice cream at home but I recently discovered it in Disney World and I love it. Soft vanilla with hot fudge is the best. We split one and then had another one:secret: After Wishes we headed back to the hotel and hit the sheets. I was exhausted but:cloud9:
Our first full day we headed to AK. If any of you have ever heard of Hoops and Yoyo from Hallmark, we bought them on the trip with us. They are a pink cat and a green rabbit that are featured in some Hallmark cards and they also have their own web site. I bought them stuffed and we took pics of them everywhere in Disney:thumbsup: In the Ak we enjoyed Dinosaur, Primeval Whirl, KS, EE and ITTBAB. WE got extra FPs for Dinosaur when we were getting passes for Primeval Whirl. Since we had just gotten off Dinosaur we gave the passes away. The good karma came around our way when a nice gentleman gave us FPs for the safari. :thumbsup: After a longer stay than we had planned we headed right over to MGM. We had 6:10 adrs at the Brown Derby and I was starving. We checked in early and were seated and ordering at 6:10 I had a yummy :marg: and a pork chop that was delicious and DH had the grouper that he also loved. This is what he had last year and he enjoyed it just as much. MGM had their EMS tonight but we ended up doing everything we wanted. Star Tours, Muppets, GMR, had vanilla ice cream, no fudge though:( and ToT three times in a row. There was virtually no line until the first Fantasmic let out and then we waited for a short time. We finished everything we wanted and headed back to the hotel to do some swimming. Thanks for reading so far.
