Ok, here goes
First off, I had a fabulous time even though it downpoured 3 of the 4 days we spent at the parks. But hey, that's what they made ponchos for! And overall, the crowds were not bad. We probably never had more than a 10 minute wait--due in part to fast-past but that wasn't always neccessary either.
I went to MuppetVision twice. The second time was during MGM's early magic hour so I practically had the whole place to myself and I spent about a half-hour walking down the queue line taking pictures
I was kinda disappointed by the Muppet store. There just wasn't much there but I did come away with a Gonzo magnet and the MuppetVision pin and the 25th anniversary shirt. I wish that there was more actual MuppetVision merchandise but oh well.
I did go on Mission Space and I highly recommend it! It was lots of fun
This was one where fastpast worked well as we practically walked right on. The pre-ride movie starred Gary Sinse as a mission control guy briefing us on our upcoming mission to mars. You ride in teams of four and each person takes on a specific job, for instance, I was the pilot and my brother was the engineer. All this really means is that you push a button during the ride when you are prompted by Mr. Sinse. It was fun to pretend though that we were really flying because it certaintly did feel that way. My favorite part was when we were "launched". Since I've never actually been to space I can't say for sure what it feels like but my guess is this ride is pretty darn accurate!
We stayed at All Star Movies and that was really neat. All the oversized props were fun to walk around and look at. And since we were at a DIsney resort, we partook in E-ride nights. That's where 9 rides at the Magic Kingdom are open an extra 3 hours to 5000 resort guests. We walked on to Splash Mountain alot and the Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain and all those good ones. It was really neat being there late.
So, I had a great time but coming home is rather depressing, especially when I have to move back to school in two days
I can't wait til my next trip! And I hope to work there with the college program as soon as possible and I'm really excited about that!
