Default McGoofy's live report from OKW

Hey Everybody! I am here right now, and it has been so nice. It has definitely been hot (97 degrees today!), but not too crowded. I rode Toy Story Mania today. It was a 60 minute stand by wait, but we had fastpasses. That ride is awesome. We are going to go back again tomorrow for a few hours. No other waits have been nearly as long. Friday morning we just waited about 5 minutes at MK for Peter Pan's Flight. That is rare. We stayed at MK last night (Saturday) until 2am for EMH. We were getting ready to ride Space Mountain. The three of us were loaded in the cars and waiting for take off. We waited and waited and waited...and then...the lights in the whole building were all lit up! They shut the ride down for the night. So we sadly got out of our rocket! Oh well. We're going to go back to MK Tuesday morning. We'll give it another go. We are having so much fun. Tonight we went to Ohanas and Downtown Disney. I am going to include a link to some photos. We have only downloaded through Saturday morning so far, but we have been adding daily. Enjoy.

Thanks for the report!
You have some fantastic pictures. Thanks for all of the new Toy Story ride shots.
Your Epcot topiary photos are great. Also, the guy with the hair is funny. My family would have taken a picture of him too.

I am in WDW too and yes it is hot and the lines are lighter than usual. We all LOVED the toy story mania ride too. Even better than Buzz. Thanks for sharing.

Other than the heat, sounds like you're having a fantastic time.

Off to check out your photos.

My DH did that. We don't normally go around taking pictures of strangers! The reason he did that is because a good friend of ours' daughter has the exact same hairdo. We wanted to show her that she had a twin brother.

Thanks for all of the great feedback everybody! I am now waiting for my boys to get ready so we can head back to Epcot and DHS today. Have a magical day everybody!

WOW! 97 is a little crazy hot, but the short lines sound fabulous. Love your pictures so far. Looks like you are having a really great time. Thanks for the live report.

Thanks so much for the great report. I love your pictures. I missed TSM because I wasn't paying attention to where we were and was thinking we could enter the same street as we used to....WRONG!

Can't wait to see and read more.

Tara, I had to giggle - I have a picture with DS learning to hula (at my insistence) at Ohana and he has the SAME LOOK as your DS!

Can't wait to hear more about your trip - post more when you can!!!

Carol, that's hilarious! I never looked to see what my husband posted until just now. I think from what I remember seeing you post before, aren't our sons the same age? Mine just turned 10. He did not want to hula, but as you can see, it wasn't optional!

I also just realized that spelling is not my DH's best gift! But that's ok...he surprised me with flowers at our resort for our 15th anniversary that is coming up on June 12.

We arrived back home this afternoon, so now I'm unpacking and doing laundry, etc.... I hope to get some detailed trip reports up soon. We had a wonderful time.

Yep, my DS is 10 also - just getting to that OH MOM! stage. I had to promise him he wouldn't have to do a repeat performance on our upcoming trip.

I can't wait to hear all about the rest of your stay - glad you had a great time!
