The trip was a week, but I'll make the report short.
Of course we hit the parks and went on the rides. A few highlights:
Epcot - Did this in two days. Did the front half one day, the countries a different day. Suggest that you see the movies, as they are air conditioned and let you chill out for a while. Plus they are entertaining. Epcot has so much concrete that it's the hottest of the parks, I think.
DTD - I was picked to be "Greta the plucky fiance" for the Adventurers Club radio broadcast. This is a great (family friendly) club, which is free from 7 - 9pm each night. Check it out if you can!
Pressed pennies - we got almost every single pressed penny at MK. Just missed a few, which we will get during our September trip. Then we'll work on the Epcot pennies.
Went to the first Star Wars weekend at MGM. Crowds were light, as the weather was a bit questionable at first. We got a little rain. No biggie. Stormtroopers patrolled the area. It was fun! Jabba's Hut (star wars merchandise store) was a disappointment. Not much there to choose from. Sounds Dangerous was closed due to Jedi Mickey being a meet and greet at that location.
MK - The Smoothies at Auntie Gravities are wonderful. Got to meet the mayor. Town Hall ladies asked me if I was enjoying the Humidity Festival. LOL. Spectromagic is better than the fireworks, I think.
Food at Coral Reef is way overpriced for what you get. Raglan Road and Ohana's were very good.
We stayed at SSR. Wonderful, wonderful resort. Quiet rooms. Pools were fun. Luv being by the bar and having a cold drink in hand.
We decided to switch a few ADR's when we got to Disney due to timing of where we were, etc. It all worked out pretty good for us. Couldn't get into Le Cellier at the last second. Oh well. Good Steaks abound everywhere! I was surprised that San Angel Inn was booked the entire night... you can get Mexican anywhere. Oh well, to each there own. Enjoyed Tony's, Crystal Palace, Sci Fi (food is just ok there, we were there for lunch. DS enjoys the silly film clips), Spoodles, and Rose and Crown Pub. Cold beer on a hot day is a good thing!
That's all I got!
