Well 1 week is over and 1 more is about to begin. We are at the half way mark of trip and we are already planning for the next trip back. The place is amazing and the people have been great. Here are some highlights of the trip:
1. Magical Moments & Year of a Million Dreams. This is the current promotion for Disney World Wide and includes all sorts of surprises. The girls have gotten into pin trading and the day they got their first set of pins, the where given a Million dreams pin from Magic Kingdom. 1 of only 200 or so to be given away during the next year. Magical Moment #1 for the girls.
2. Roller Coaster Mania. Except for the Rock-in-Roller coaster in MGM. They have attacked all the other coasters multiple times and can often be heard in line for the shows saying, “when are we going to ride...(you name the coaster).
3. Bus Rides. WDW is estimated at 47.6 sq miles. ENORMOUS. So while the bus ride between parks and resort is free and except for one day, which took over 1 hour to get from point A to B, we just did not envision how long it takes to get from one part of WDW to another (usually 10-15 min from our resort).
4. Food. The Dinning Plan just has TO MUCH FOOD. We can’t believe people eat they way they do down here. EVERY DAY. So while its save money for those families that like eat like Kings and Queens every day, I’m not sure we will sign up for it next time, unless of course its free again. 8-)
5. Magical Moment #2. The cast members (employees) randomly pick activities to do with kids and families throughout the day. Emily’s was colouring a picture in clothing shop where we bought her Tinkerbell Hat you see in all the pictures. For this they gave her a certificate to remember spending time with the two very nice ‘grandma’s’ who where running the shop that day.
6. Family Survey #1: Favorite Parks in order; #1 Magical Kingdom, #2 Animal Kingdom, #3 Epcot, #4 MGM Studios.
7. Family Survey #2: Favorite Things to do in WDW: #1 Roller Coasters in the Parks, #2 Swimming (anywhere the girls can find a pool and water will do), #3 Shows in the Parks (favorite is Beauty and the Beast in MGM), #4 Any another thrill ride in the park (it just can’t go upside down, or drop 10 stories down)
8. Family Survey #3: Least Favorite Things to do in WDW: #1 Bus rides, #2 Most of the shows (the girls only, Mom and Dad like most them), #3 Pirates of the Caribbean (Sarah only, she finds it to scary), #4 Living with the Land Boat Ride (Emily Only, boring educational ride was her comment).
Well, thats all for now. Till next time, as they say around here, HAVE A MAGICAL DAY.
