Monday, March 9 at Disney

6:30 am-Leave Georgia for Orlando
10:00am-In the gates at Magic Kingdom
10:10am-Stitch's Great Escape (5min estimated wait) Could have passed, was better when it was Alien Encounter. Although it was worth it to see the little kid's reaction next to me...His mom and I were trying to talk him through it so he didn't have a breakdown
10:25am-Got a Fastpass for Space Mountain (11:10-12:10)
10:25am-Standby Space Mountain (10min estimated wait), Seat 5 on the L hand side, Ride even better than I had remembered...should be interesting to see what the major overhaul refurb does to the ride.
10:44am-OFF Space Mountain
10:55am- Standby Mickey's Philharmagic (5min estimated wait) a 3D movie, As recommended by Kate and Meg, it was Awesome!
11:20am-OFF Mickey's Philharmagic
11:25am-Used the Space Mountain Fastpass, seat 3 on the R hand side. By this time I have a technique that's working well, I paid attention once I got within earshot and eyeshot of the ride ops, so when they had a group of 5 entering a train, I'd tell them I was a 'party of one' and get to cut the rest of the line :-D
11:36am-OFF Space Mountain.
11:47am-Pirates of the Carribean (5min estimated wait), the new Davy Jones effect is awesome, the drop seems less intense than it was before, but that might have just been my memory slipping.
12:00pm-OFF Pirates
12:05pm-Got a Fastpass for Splash Mountain (12:45p-1:45p) (3omin estimated wait at the time)
12:06pm-Standby Thunder Mountain Railroad (20min estimated wait)
12:27pm-OFF TMR
12:32pm-Standby Haunted Mansion (20min estimated wait) The new effects were really cool, especially the stairway room and the projected ghosts
12:54pm-OFF HM
12:59pm- Used the Splash Mountain Fastpass (50min estimated wait by now) I got stuck on a log full o' Asians who insisted on taking pictures through the whole thing but would put away their cameras each time a lift hill came up, so i played along with the game and pretended that we were getting ready for the big plunge every time we went up a hill :-) fun times.
1:18pm- OFF SM, and heading to the car
1:36pm- at the Monorail
1:52pm- in the car and driving
2:03pm-Parked in Hollywood Studios lot
2:10pm- In the park at Hollywood Studios
2:23pm- Voyage of the Little Mermaid-Some cool effects, but the puppetry technique was bad overall, and the Ursula Puppet/Costume was really sub par...Ariel had bad support and became very thin and flat on the top notes...I was glad to see the show though, just think they need some direction and updates...
2:52pm-OUT of Voyage
3pm-Watched Block Party Bash at Crossroads. Best Disney parade in my opinion...Very fun, high energy and interactive, with lots of surprises, even to me, who normally figures these things out before they happen. Haha. Mrs. Incredible was a HUGE surprise, and she was awesome! Just wait for the pics. Great parade, wish I could have seen it more than once in different places, to see all the surprises and effects.
3:23pm-Fastpass Tower of Terror (4:05-5:05pm) (30 minute wait at time)
3:24pm-Rock N' Roller Coaster (50 min estimated wait) Single rider line FIRST ROW! Ride is just as awesome as ever. Although I wish they didn't have the "corkscrew ahead" sign, I would rather the corkscrew be surprise.
3:37pm-OFF RRC, back in the Single Rider line. Row 9 this time.
3:51pm-OFF RRC
3:52pm-Tower of Terror Standby line (30 min estimated wait) The ride was better than I remembered, had a very good "random" combination of drops.
4:24pm-OFF ToT, and back in line to use the Fastpass.
4:45pm-OFF ToT
4:52pm- Star Tours Standby line (10 min estimated wait) This ride really needs the refurb it's getting soon.
5:12pm-Off ST
5:18pm- Show requested Meg on The Great Movie Ride. She was AWESOME! and hilarious!
5:47pm- OFF GMR
5:50pm-Playhouse Disney show-Cute! the kids that were dancing along were adorable...puppetry was good! I'd love to get a closer look at the puppets and the stage configuration.
6:15pm-OUT of PD show
6:23pm- Muppet 3D show, great as always! walked right in to catch the end of the pre show
6:50pm- Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular-Fun yet cheesy as always. There was a squirrel running around on set, seemed to be very friendly and into the action. He was right where the jeep drives around and flips and explodes...seconds before it happened. it was fun to see all of the people in the tech booth pointing and panicking. fortunately, he escaped in the nick of time. and then when the jeep exploded a few feet away from him, he boooooked it across stage. HILARIOUS! wish I had it on tape!
7:17pm- OUT of IJSS, ate at Backlot Express, it was ok. Quick and decent.
7:56pm- Sucked it up and entered the Toy Story Mania Standby line (70min estimated wait)- This ride was sooo much fun, even though i really stink at it, but oh well! It's still fun!
8:43pm- OFF TSM, headed back to the Great Movie Ride to show request Meg again
9:26pm- OFF GMR
9:35pm- In line for Fantasmic!, the line was backed up to the Planet Hollywood store. This is by far my favorite nighttime spectacular at Disney. So many awesome effects, great characters and such.
10:25- OUT of Fantasmic!
10:41- At the car, and on the way to the hotel

The hotel seemed decent, kinda sketchy, there was a guy standing on the opposite end of the hotel with a black eye, dark complexion, plainly dressed, and a bag of what appeared to be a couple packages of ground beef. Besides the nappy blanket, the sheets you could see through, and the towels with holes in them, I got a good night's sleep...

Ride/Show Count for the day: 22...Very Successful if you ask me!
