DAY FOUR
Woke up and headed to MK. We got to the park and was let in the public because of the breakfast ressies. Got some quick pictures with the statues and the castle before breakfast.
We did the Grand Gathering Tony's Breakfast. It consisted of scrambled eggs with asiago cheese in them, sausage links, bacon, mickey waffles, and some pastries along with your beverage. The food was fairly average though the eggs were rather tasty.
After that we pulled a long day in the park...while was a bit slower than the old days - it was still decently paced. After the breakfast we got fastpassed into Philaharmagic. Then the kids went on the carosel while I went and grabbed fastpasses for everyone over at Space Mountain.
Came back to find everyone in line for Dumbo. After the treat of Dumbo was experienced went to Toon Town for Barnstormer (during which DW and I shopped because I am too big for Barnstormer and she is pregnant plus it had AC), and Mickey and Minnie house.
Grabbed some frozen lemonade and drinks and then took the train around to Frontierland. Found that Splash Mountain was out of service due to some mechanical problem and Big Thunder Mountain was hour wait time.
Passed on the wait and went to Country Bear Jamboree followed by Tiki Room. By this time the kids were tired so two of the adults took the kids back to the rooms while three of us went to Space Mountain.
Did Space Mountain back to back, handed off out last FP to some random person in line and headed on to the hotel.
Came back and had a really late lunch at Mara. I had the Turkey Ciabatta. It was really good. I highly recommend it.
We then rested and went to DTD. Pick up a couple things at World of Disney and then hit Goofy Candy Company (Our favorite place to go). Then back to the hotel for some sleep.
DAY FIVE
Slept in to let everyone recharge the batteries from previous set of days.
Got up, checked up on work stuff real quick while family was getting up and ready. Went to pool for about 2 hours or so. Grabbed lunch at Mara's. Had the Falafel Pita with Cooscoose. It was pretty good...the coosecoose was really good.
Headed to MK and caught the parade. Timed it perfectly. Walked in right as the parade was hitting the front area. After the parade got the kids hair cut (During which the second digital camera for the screen busted)
Then took a tour of the MK camera shop where we found out that WDW does not sell digital cameras.
Pressed on to Splash Mountain which the kids loved and then to Big Thunder Mountain. Everyone enjoyed both of them.
This completed the day at MK and we headed over for our Chef Mickey ressies. Ate at Chef Mickey's and headed to the TTC to watch Wishes from the ferry slot. Missed Wishes and headed on to Epcot for late hours.
At Epcot we went to Spaceship Earth. I still love the stars at the very top. The new video screens made it funny on the decent because of the picture it used...
Played a driving game at the end of SE.
The group then headed to Soaring. It was a good ride as always...I would love to have the scents that they use for my house.
Getting close to closing time so we had to pick between Test Track and Mission Space. The group chooses Test Track. I think we are the last group let into the ride.
We do it and get out...I have never seen EPCOT look so deserted. Of course - that did not stop some people from trying to continue along with things - saw one group of people get stopped twice and informed that the park was closed.
Headed back to the hotel and am about to get some sleep before AK in the morning. Going to try breakfast at Tusker House.
(BTW - my spelling is horrid but I hope I at least did not mis-call anything in this one :innocent:)
