Quick report of my trip so far. Everything is going so smoothly so far that I've been way ahead of my schedule every day!
Got to DHS Sunday afternoon. We did RnR (first time my DS has been on a coaster in years and loved it!), ToT, Star Tours, and a couple other things. Went to the SW dessert party and met @Daniela Rose and @brnrss34 there. The desserts were delicious and the show was cool.
Monday we did rope drop for EMH at AK and made a bee line for FoP. They were actually letting people go in earlier than the posted 8 am time. We were in so quickly and so far up in line we didn't get to go through the room with the floating Avatar, they basically took us through the FP lane even though we started out in standby lane. We were on and off the ride in less than 30 minutes! By the time we got off it was up to a 150 minute wait. I can echo what others have said, FoP is AMAZING! We did EE, Tough to be a bug, a couple of other things before meeting @ChiefM and @brnrss34 for a bit. We went back to our resort and rested for a bit. That evening we went to MK and rode 7DMR as well as taking in a couple of other things. Then we did the HEA garden dessert party. Again, the desserts were de-li-cious! We thought the show was awesome and the view was great.
This morning we rope dropped AK again and made a bee line for Na'vi River. We were on and off in 15 minutes. It's ok IMO. The imagineering is beautiful, no doubt about it. But it's just eye candy, no meat to it, and too short. I wouldn't wait a long time for that one. I'm glad we did it but don't need to do it again. We've done KS both mornings. The animals were so active both mornings! Today one of the giraffes came so close to our vehicle we could have petted it. And, when we came around the corner, it looked like one of the lioness's was getting to leap across and attack. Absolutely amazing both days. Right now we're back at POP after a couple of hours at Disney Springs. For what it's worth, Deluxe Burger in Disney Springs, the burger is huge and it's delicious! DS wanted to hit the pool for a bit. Tonight it's back to AK. We've got FPs for FoP and RoL.
Tomorrow we'll visit DHS late morning, Typhoon Lagoon in the afternoon, then back to DHS for Fantasmic.
To anybody thinking about it for their next trip, I highly recommend the dessert parties. Well worth the money IMO.
Bottom line it's been an amazing trip so far!
