Day 1:
We left south Mississippi around 4 am and had a pretty smooth 10 hour drive and with the time change arrived at Pop around 3 pm...I had requested a ground floor room close to bus stops and laundry facilities and my request was granted...we got a preferred room 0148 in the 70s section.
We headed over to Hollywood Studios to let Dylan ride RcnRoller Coaster but he was unable to get on...120 minute wait...we waded through the hordes of people and made it onto the Great Movie Ride and decided we didn't want to fight the crowd anymore so we went to the Grand Floridian to check out the Gingerbread house. Then over to DTD and Wolfgang Pucks for the best CS meal we've had at Disney-I will post dining reviews later. We decided to turn in early and headed back to Pop.
Day 2: Magic Kingdom
We discovered that if you get to the park at opening, you can do a lot before lunch...case in point..Dylan rode Space Mountain, then we did Buzz Lightyear, Monsters Inc Laugh Floor, Stitch, Carousel of Progress, Indy, Splash Mountain-Dylan only, Big Thunder Mountain and Haunted Mansion all before lunch. We ate lunch at Peco's Bills and loved it....after lunch we went to Pirates of the Caribbean, Tiki Room, Jungle Cruise, Toontown, PhilharMagic, Snow White, and Mad Tea Party. By this time the waits for Peter Pan, IASW and Pooh were too long so we browsed in some shops, watched the parade and by that time it was time for dinner at Crystal Palace. The meal was good and we saw all of the characters at least once. Dylan was trying to be really mature and act like he wasn't into the characters, but Tigger started horsing around with him and he got into it...before we left he took his picture with Tigger, Piglet, Pooh and Eeyore...LOL
We finished up the night with Spectro Magic and Wishes...it started raining right before the Parade and it got very chilly.....after the fireworks we returned to Pop and hit the sack exhausted....we only got about 6 hours of sleep before getting up.
