Wed Dec 17th
So this morning I got up and made it to AK for rope drop. And As I have experienced before in the summer AK is always 10 times hotter than th other parks for some reason. Warched the little opening ceremony in front of the tree with a Christmas twist to it. Cute. Then it was off to Everest.
This is the ONLY reason I head to AK. As I have said before if I wanted to see animals I'd go to the Toronto Zoo. So as all the other people walked through Asia while the rest of us headed in DinoLand and across the waterfront. Surprisiingly they had some CM's with a rope on the bridge so we had to walk over to everest but we still beat the crowd. I was the 4th person to get on the ride as we were escorted through the queue. I love this ride, everything about it. The setting, the effects, the detail the mild thrill lol. The Yeti was in B mode?? motionless with a strobe light on him. He wa like that all week the several times I rode EE.
After wards I headed over to the Photopass Photog across the water to get some everest ones taken.
After that I headed back to the front of Ak and had some simba pics taken, which were really cute.
Then I saw Lilo and Stitch.
The long was long and full of annoying people. The people behind me were nice but their kids were overly excited and ran up in front of me. No big deal the parents apologized several times. The husband thought I ws with the other family in front of me. (yeah buddy that's why i didn't speak to them once the entire time we were in this 20 min line duh) So after those pics I headed out of Ak.
I decided I wanted some Earl of Sandwich for Breakfast so I headed over to AKL to grab a DTD bus. OMG what a wait. It would've been faster for me to head back to Pop and then go to DTD from there.
I forgot to mention in my MVMCP report my little adventure going to DTD that night. I just remembered it now actually lol. As I left the partyy I wanted to go to DTD so I hopped a SSR bus thinking I'd just get off and walk. Well apparently I missed the closest bus stop and ended uop and the far side of the resort. So i asked a a guest what i should do. He told me to catach a bost ride and head over that way since it was only a 5 min ride. So I wastrying to follow the signs to the boat launch and in the dark at an unfamiliar resort is not an easy thing to do. So I got kinda lost and I was texting austin to tell him. H elaughed at me and my pain. He said well atleast it's a pretty resort. Yeah not in the dark. So I called Larissa (my hag) and walked around trying to find the boat dock with her on the phone. I finally found it and felt better. She laughed at me too. So I rubbed it in that I was going eat DELICIOUS earl and boo to her. Sao I did I went to Earl and had the holiday sandwich. SO GOOD!!! Not as filling as some of the others but really tasty. I referred to it as a taste sensation in my texts to my friend Robin.
Ok so back to this day. I finally got a bus after a 30min wait and was off to DTD. I went to Earl and had the All American for bfast since it was 11am. So good. Then I walked around a bit took some pics and bought a shirt for Larissa and a Miss Piggy Lenox Ornament for me. Only $15 because all of the ornaments were half price. So after that I decided ti was time to dump so stuff and head back to the resort. I had some pkgs that needed to be picked up at the resort. They couldn't find my sketch and was not happy about that. Finally the manager found it somewhere in the back. Thank God.
So after getting all my stuff. I decided to go back to the room. I had a shower which I find necessary just to cool off in the middle of the day. I started getting things packed up since I hate packing at the last minute, even if it is for departing WDW. I tried to catach Y&R but it was over already. So I washed some stuff and then headed for MK. Austin was there but had already left. I had hoped to see him tonight but he said he was wiped and had to leave at 4am so we couldn't. Oh well there's always next time.
So I did pin shopping and found some baby stuff for a friend. I rode POTC again, HM again, Philharmagic again and then just wandered around looking at things and soaking up my time in MK. This is still my favourite park. I still get goosebumps when i see the Castle and walk down Main Street. I stayed and watched Wishes took some pics of Christmas stuff and headed home for the night.
