we arrived in sunny orlando at pop century at 12:00PM,the weather was sunny and hot,we checked in at pop and left to go to MK.
we rode TM,and then Slash and did the ever popular stitch,POTC then headed over to crystal palace for our ressie.
we hung out after and rode space mountain and a few others and headed back before wishes,we were too tired to deal with the crowds.
jan 27th
woke up and had mickey waffles at pop and headed out to DHS,it was not at all crowded and the weather was fine and dandy.
we rode RRRC twice,TOT twice(i finally got my kids on it and they loved it!),we then waited 35 minuted to ride TSM,what a great ride we also loved the interactive MR.potato head in the cue.
we left to go to DD to eat lunch at WPE,it was awesome(will eloborate more in my dining reviews),did some shopping and visited goofy's for some dipped goodies.
we had ressies at cape may's for dinner,but cancelled them,we were too full from lunch.
we headed back to MK and had the parc almost to ourselves,rode our favorite rides and had some cassies dogs later in the evening,then rode space several times,there was no wait at all.
jan 28th
headed to AK first thing in the morning,it was another beutiful day in Disney,we rode AK 3 times as there was no wait yet,we went and watched the bird show then i headed over to andupur tea co and got a frozen chai,it was the best thing i ever had,i enjoyed it while watching the african band near dinoland,rode a few rides in DL and headed over to KS,it said it would only be a 30 minute wait,however we waited 50 minutes and i was worried that we would miss our yak and yeti ressie,but we made iton time and we had great views of most of the animals.
we ate at yak and yeti,but i wasn't completely impressed with the food,it was so-so.
we then headed over to RPW and met jimini cricket.
we went back to POP,had a swim,but the temps were heading down quickly. we stayed at pop for supper,did some shopping and played in the arcade and went back to the room for another horrible sleep in a horrible bed with the giant dip in the center.
jan 29th
woke up early AM after having hardly slept,I had made up my mind,we were leaving POP.i headed down to see beverly in concierge to explain and see what we could arrange,after several phone calls,she found us a room at CRS,however,we had a ressie for the best friends breakfast in under an hour,not much time to pack,so i told beverly that we would go for breakfast and come back to pack up,but she wouldn't hear of it,she didn't want out vacation to be upset like that,so she told us to go pack as quickly as possible and leave the bags under the window.when we came down there was a long line,she waved me over ,left the line and brough us outside to Bob who was going to bring us to the poly in a disney van,and she had arranged to have out luggage brought over to CSR,i was very impressed and thankful for the great service,Bob amused my kids with disney trivia the whole way over to poly. we had a great breakfast with lilo and stitch,we headed to CSR to see our new resort,but our room wasn't ready.
we checked in and left for epcot,rode SE,got a fstpass for soarin,rode MM,TT,anf then MM again,then used our fastpasses.
we headed over to france for my long awaited creme brulee,and the kids had a chocolate eclair and strwberry tart,we then headed back to CSR,by this time it was raining alot.
i called t-rex and got a ressie for 6:45,we headed DD and had a great time there,the service was excellent,the food was good,and the staff sang a loud happy birthday to my DD.
we did some shopping and goofy's and headed back for a nice sleep in our big room with our big beds,it was heavenly:cloud9:
jan 30th
woke up to rain and cold temps,headed to main building for breakfast.we went to cafe rix and had awesome coffee and quiche. we headed out to DHS and got a fastpass for TSM right away this time. we rode our favorites,looked in the shops,got a milkshake from dockside,while we were outside having our milkshake,we noticed that american idol was opening,so we went in to check it out,it was actually pretty entertaining,even my son who doesn't usually like this stuff,was riveted to it. the opening host was hilarious. we used our FP for TSM and headed back to CSR,it was clearing up so we went swimming ,my kids enjoyed the slide while i enjoyed the hot tub and a daquiri,so relaxing(i love this hotel!after a quick shower we were off to FW for the Hoop dee doo. after the show we went to the campfire and sing along and met with chip and dale and then made our way back to MK by boat,we got to see wishes on the water,pure disney magic.
next 3 days to follow tomorrow...
