No zombies here, just 10+ years of trip reports!!!

AK was packed. I know these are 7s on the crowd capacity, but they feel busier. However, the CMs even recognize it will be busier in the next few weeks for Easter.



We go to Expedition Everest and ride single rider (20 min).

Then, EE FP+. Front car baby.



That's two years in a row.

 

[AirGoofy]

From there, we go to lunch. We eat at the Yak & Yeti QS. I had the chicken, it was really good. The dds both had hamburgers, and we watched the birds dive bomb for food. I didn't manage any pictures - I guess we were too hungry.

 

[AirGoofy]

Then, we go over to FoTLK. It is my favorite non fireworks show. It is swarmed, and we made it under the roof queue. So, even though we were in the giraffe section up top, it was still a great show.



Some my use there FP to sit in the lower sections. It is a great idea to get a reserved spot, but people still were there early and waiting for those front low floor seats.

 

[AirGoofy]

We zip back across the park for the Nemo show, and Sat in the very top section. It is still a good show, and the music is great. I think seats in the top floor section or first part of the next section are better to see the show.

Then, it's over to Dino ride.



Haven't mentioned it, but early this AM, I hurt my back. I wasn't doing anything, just twisted it while getting up.



I think EE was worse on the back going backwards though than Dino ride.

 

[AirGoofy]

Made it to my favorite ride of the day, Kilimanjaro Safari. It started to rain, so we just did the stand by thing. Big mistake, as everyone else must have had the same idea. But, it was a good ride though even with the long wait.






We went and ate Flame Tree BBQ. It was our first time there, and I won't go back. The chicken was dry. We have much better and cheaper BBQ less than 10 miles away in my home town.

Then, we go back to KS for FP+. Anyone watch the tv show "Blackish"? In the episode where the dad buys a vip package at WDW, he walks thru the FP line while holding up his magic band yelling, "VIP". That's what it felt like with the 120 min stand by line.

We did get stared down and stopped on the road by a White Rhino.



A lot of crossing the park to make all the attractions. Maybe we will do better next time.

 

[AirGoofy]

We finished up the night at Rivers of Light. There are two sides - stand by loading by Nemo and FP+ loading by EE. There have been many debates on using a FP for the end of the evening shows. Just my opinion - I like doing the dinner FP packages. That way, I still get to have the three FP for rides, get a nice meal,and then a good seat for the show.



However, Rivers of Light will not be one I would go back to. The music is great and water projection is better than Fantasmic. I know the show can't end with fireworks as stampeding elephants wouldn't be a good idea. But, for me, the lion king would be a better ending show. If they could have done more laser lights or fire, then I may have enjoyed it more. But, I'm old - get off my lawn!

 

[AirGoofy]

Good morning from Soarin' around the world.



Stand by followed by FP+. Park capacity is again at 7, so it's gonna be a long day of waiting.

 

[dvc at last !]

Love Soarin' - sounds like lots of waiting in lines today - how did that turn out ?

Phone life any better ?

Where did you get the Evil Queen Your Wife tee ?

My wife's cousin bought the shirt, somewhere online, not sure where.

Epcot was a lot better today than the rest of the week. It was crowded, but more manageable. Or, maybe we just know the park better.

As for the phone, I think it is the wifi. But, I need the wifi to upload pictures as I don't have the unlimited data plan. So, I'll just post the story and add photos later. Not the best plan, but all I got.

The first Soarin was great. Row three in section B.

The FP put us in row 1 in section C. Soarin looked more like Inception with the building curving.

I liked the original better.

 

[POOH&PIGLET]

Great trip report(s)!!!

 

[AirGoofy]

After the stand by/ FP+ Soarin combo, we had a little snack at Sunshine Seasons.

Then, it was up to the Circle of Life.



Then, Living with the Land FP+.



I timed those right.

 

[AirGoofy]

We headed over to the Imagination to do Figment and check out the dvc Member lounge inside. It was a 30 min wait for Figment, so we moved on. Sadly, the lounge closed at 6 and we didn't make it back in time to check it out. Maybe next year.

But, it's time to eat and drink around the world, family style.

Cronut (croissant donut) was better this time. Can't find the photo. Dang it.

Coffee Crisp in Canada.

 

[AirGoofy]

The dds did the Kidcot stop. No more color Duffy, but a passport.



No food in England, but did get a topiary picture.

 

[AirGoofy]

A croissant and chocolate beignet in France.

Beauty and Beast topiary.



Watched the movie about France.



Drank the lemon slushes.



Cheers.

 

[AirGoofy]

Jasmine in Morocco.



Morroco-arita?



The spelling probably isn't right.

 

[AirGoofy]

Japan.



Tokyo sunset.

 

[AirGoofy]

America.

Funnel cake.



Pretzel



American experience.



Surprisingly, I had never watched the show here. It was good, although the Morgan Freeman voice over at Hall of Presidents is better.

 

[AirGoofy]

Italy for ADR at Via Napoli.



Their pizza is terrific. We watches them through the door, and fresh mozzarella is awesome.

 

[AirGoofy]

Germany for caramel popcorn.



Topiary.
