My Disney World trip
Posted: Wed May 16, 2007 7:43 am
Of course, the time went all too fast. During the course of the eight days we stayed there: the a/c went out in our condo, I broke my foot, and I had a distant relative pass away.
Never-the-less, I have no regrets. I found out that Splash Mountain is my all-time favorite ride at the Magic Kingdom. I must have gone on it at least five times. Expedition Everest is awesome. Only went on once, but can't wait to go back (I'm actually planning a trip BY MYSELF with no kids - anyone care to join me?). Rock n' Roller Coaster was amazingly cool, but I couldn't convince myself to try the Tower of Terror. My four-year-old went on though and had a blast. He was fearless - he wanted to go on everything....which leads to how I broke my foot. He got in line for Space Mountain, only for the cast member to tell him he was 1/2 inch too short. Complete temper tantrum, and he stomped on my foot. Luckily, it was on the last day. I felt bad for him, because he really wanted to go on the ride...but jeesh. He could have stomped on his dad's foot instead of mine! I get my cast off in two weeks. He was tall enough to go on most everything else -- he loved Splash Mountain too. I can't wait for my two-year old to experience the bigger rides for the first time.
Also, I loved the addition of Jack Sparrow to the pirates ride. I heard the Laugh Floor was a huge hit - I sat that one out though cause the 2-yr-old was sleeping in his stroller. I guess they involved my boyfriend in the show and kept referring to him as "That Guy". My boyfriend's favorite ride was Space Mountain. My 11-year-old couldn't stop talking about Expedition Everest. And we all loved the Hoop Dee Doo Revue dinner show - worth every penny...but make sure you book early to get seats close to the stage and bring a sweatshirt! We're lucky we read up on it before we went.
I am very sad it's over and can't wait to go back. There will be a Disneyland trip before I go back to Florida, though.
