it's a bit of funny irony that i just missed the MiceChat WDW INVASION , i flew home on the 22nd and the MiceChatters flew out on the 23rd.. .ha ha
but no matter , here is the start of my 7 day report ,
keep in mind i have been going to Disneyland all my life , and this was my first ever trip to WDW...
enjoy...
Our first flight left Reno NV at 6:30 am and we arrived in Dallas around Noon thier time. Took off again and arrived in Orlando around 5:30 , just in time to take a boat from Port Orleans French Quarter to Downtown Disney to grab some food

Me and my Girlfriend Kelsey on the plane

Looks like Florida down there

My brother Bryan on our Magical Express to the hotel

The Magical Express worked like a charm for our arrival , our bags were delivered right to our rooms from the airport. Did not work so good on the way home , but i'll tell you about that later

POFQ is amazingly themed

The Lobby

We arrived at the Magic Kingdom the next day just in time for the opening song thingie , quite cool

i felt like it was kinda busy for a sunday in october

No matter how many times you see pictures of the castle , you really cant get the scope of how big it really is untill you see it in person , it blew me away , unfortunetly most of the time we were there , they had the crane up painting it

First stop was Pirates! i had not even seen the new effects in Disneyland yet , but it was down for " Technical Difficulties" as was Big Thunder , so we went over to the Haunted Mansion , and from the point of view of a west coaster , i must say i like the DL version much better. The streching room effect was quite lame , and the GIANT GLOWING SPIDERS were also quite lame. That said i did get a little nostalgic when i saw the old bride

we hit up the jungle cruise , and had a funny skipper , later i relized that all 3 skippers we had throught out vacation did the EXACT SAME SPEEL . Overall i liked , and i thought the cave was a cool addition

we checked back on BTMRR and it was up and running , it did'nt seem as fast to me as the DL version , but the mountain itself was much more impressive to look at

after lunch at the... uh... someplace in liberty square that served chicken strips , we went over to Tommorowland , to ride SM , i really really liked this version , it was not as dark and smooth as the DL version , and i really missed the music. But man it was fast , the qeue was awesome , i loved how you could see the rockets flying by from the waiting area

THE BLUE TUNNEL

we rode the carousel of progress with about 4 other people in the theatre , it was fun hearing the great big beautifull tommorow song again

After a ride on buzz , and a ride on the TTA also known as the PEOPLE MOVER!! we took a trip on the WDWRR and headed over to SplashMountain

i thought this version was AMAZING , the dark drop was worlds better than the DL version

Eventualy we got to ride pirates , the new effects looks great and the WDW pirates seemed just a touch shorter to me , we decided to end the day in tommorowland with another ride on SM and spin on the RocketJets

a parting shot of Mainstreet a night ,
next up is Disneys Animal Kingom aka My Favorite park of the trip
thanks for reading... i'm still sorting out my 700+ pictures i took
