A few observations, opinions, and rumors of our trip.
We did the American Idol Experience for the firt time this trip. We really enjoyed it and will do it again, maybe not everytime, but we will return.
Everyone must get the carrot cake cookie sandwich at DHS at least once. They are like heaven.
We used fast pass for a few attractions and found the lines moved a like quicker than usual. I like the fact that they are enforcing the return time. I think it is helping with the wait times.
My son collects pins of the countries at EPCOTs World Showcase. Each country that has a pavillion has a pin. Even though Brazil doesn't have a pavillion, they now have a pin. Disney must love the Brazillian groups.
EPCOT on the weekends during Food and Wine is something that we are going to avoid in the future. Too many drunk people acting badly. You can enjoy a few drinks without making a fool of yourself IMO.
Tried to get a few new things while shopping in the gift stores. Not possible, not only did they have the same stuff as last year, but they have the same stuff in every store you go into.
Alot of misinformation on this trip. I don't think the staff is being trained as well today as they were in the past.
Disney really should start to put the Dyson dryers in the bathrooms. They are quick, clean and won't make the mess the paper towels make.
Trivia Question. What do most young kids do while in the "World of Disney" Store?
Answer: They cry.
Most kids are uninterested in being in a big store for a long period of time. They get bored.
We took the Segway Tour (which I will review later) and our guide told us some interesting info you may or may not know. Spain was supposed to have a pavillion in the World Showcase. They even put up construction signs. It fell through when they experienced civil unrest and theey pulled out their portion of the money.
Also told that the Backlot Tour and two other DHS attractions would be closing to make room for a big new attraction.
Africa was also supposed to have their own pavillion but didn't put out the money needed.
Does anyone think the movie in Norway makes you want to vacation there? lol
Love Eat to the Beat...saw 38 Special for the third year in a row. Even caught the guitar pick at the end of the show!
The bus has improved, but not enough for me to want to use it. We will be sticking with a car rental.
