Is JP on holidays?

[TinkRocks]

I think JP secretly went to WDW again but didn't want to announce the trip 'cos maybe he didn't want to have to write another trip report...

Day 5 Part 2
June 24th
Epcot EMHs/ Magic Kingdom

After my disappointing Nachos I decided to head out to Epcot for EMHs since this would be my last night in the parks. I arrived at Epcot and noticed it was very crowded. I got my wristband and took in a few rides. I hit JII w/Figment again and the Seas with Nemo and Friends. I wanted to take a walk around World Showcase and started off towards Mexico. I went on a search for Donald on the Grand Fiesta Tour. As I was coming out of Mexico I thought I saw lightning in the distance but wasn't sure since it was about the same a Flash from a camera went off. I made my was into Norway for a ride on the Malestrom. I grabbed a Viking coffee in the bakery after my ride and continued on. I arrived at the outpost area and then realized that was lightning I saw and this time I heard the thunder. I continued around noting how crowded it was and that most of the people in the crowd were wearing their EMH wristbands. I reached Japan and watched the Drummers for a few minutes as the lightning was getting more frequent, the thunder louder and the wind was starting to pick up a bit. I decided with stormy weather on the way and the amount of people I would head over to the Magic Kingdom which was also open until midnight even without EMHs. I made my way towards the front of the park and got to the fountain when it started to pour so I stopped in the Pin Station and looked around until it let up a bit. I found the Donald Duck pin Genie wanted purchased it along with a few others and headed to the Monorail. I was worried it wouldn't be running since the storm was rolling in fast. I quickly made my way up the ramp and past a few very slow people and caught the Monorail to the TTC. When I got to the TTc and exited the Monorail they had stopped operation to and from Epcot until the weather cleared talk about just in time. I hopped the MK monorail and made my way into the park. The ground was wet and it was drizzling a little but nothing too bad. I took some really cool pictures of the castle with a nice orange sky behind it. I then decided to put the camera away and enjoy the rest of my time. I shopped along Main Street took in some favorite attractions. I stopped in Adventureland for a Dole Whip and then headed out of the park to cath the Electric Water Pageant but I was too late . I headed back into the park and walked around a little bit took a final ride on the TTA and headed back to Pop. I got back to Pop and finished some packing since my friend was coming to get me in the morning for a day at DTD and then back to his house for the rest of my trip.

Next UP DTD/Lunch at Rainforest Cafe.

I also uploaded the final few pictures Enjoy!

Viking coffee.. yum!

[JPL]

Viking coffee.. yum!

Hey you can make your own now and cooked toasted afterall that might help oh wait the customers would be better off drinking it so they don't taste the food

[chrisb26]

You should know I wouldn't have let you forget

But I thought that was the last part which means we have to wait for another part which I'm hoping doesn't take another 2 months.

Day 6
June 25th
DTD/Rainforest Cafe

My friend arrived a little earlier than I expected and I got a knock on my door. We decided to head out to DTD for about half a day since he needed to get home and do a few things. I still had money left on my Disney Rewards card so I went into WoD and looked around for quite some time and had difficulty finding anything to buy. I went from store to store in DTD and couldn't find a single thing I wanted. The merchandise is horrible compared to a few years ago. It's all the same generic junk. I finally headed over to the pin shop and bought a few more pins and traded a little with the CMs. We were both getting hungry and decided to head over to the RFC for a burger before we headed back to his house. We arrived at RFC and it was a little too early for lunch and they hadn't fully opened so we shopped around for a few minutes and the headed over to the Art of Disney to kill some more time. We came back and were seated right away and started off with the Blue Crab Dip appetizer which was free with my Safari Club Card. We both decided on one of thier burgers and I was pleasantly surprised at what a good burger it was and how much I enjoyed it. After leaving the RFC we walked a round for a little while longer and then headed back to his house.

Next UP Mousefest 2008

[chrisb26]

OMG Is this for real? Is it finally finished? I am in shock.

All that time for that little remaining part But it was good part I do agree with you the RFC burgers are very good I will be going to the new Dino restaurant on my trip in January so I'm hoping they have good burgers as well!

[JPL]

All that time for that little remaining part

See I kept you on a hook for burgers

[chrisb26]

Well I guess it could be worse you could have left us hanging only for you to find nothing in DTD and leave

[Patricia]

Oh my! You finished?

I didn't think you would... does this mean I have to?

[JPL]

Yup

[chrisb26]

Figgie for not leaving us hanging anymore!
