Disney – Friday

15 May

Today is WM’s birthday, which is most of the reason for our little jaunt. Disney’s running a promotion where if you go to the parks on your birthday you either get in a park for free that day or you get a gift card equivalent to a one day ticket.

Which is freaking $75! That’s a lot if antenna toppers!

We started at animal kingdom, lunched at Epcot and finished at the Magic kingdom.

Observations:

Lunch at the Rose and Crown – the food was great but the waitress stopped caring after the appetizer. Drinks were not refilled and plates were left on the table even though dessert came.

And seriously, Rose and Crown, I said it’d be his birthday when I made the reservation weeks ago. I said it at the check in stand. We told the waitress. And he was wearing the birthday pin. Could you have thought to put a candle in the dessert? Grrrr.

We got to Animal Kingdom 15 minutes before park opening and it was great. We ride Kali River Rapids 2x in a row first thing. And I can’t believe people still don’t use fastpass!

I liked the rehab to the first half of spaceship earth in epcot. I think they cheaped out on the 2nd half. I’ve seen Jib Jab movies and touch screens don’t impress me any more.

Wishes, the fireworks show at the magic kingdom still makes me weep like an orphan. It’s gorgeous.

And I still love Small World. Sue me.
