Our Wonderful 11 Day Trip to the World - Day 5, 6 & 7
Day 5 - Typhoon Lagoon
We actually got to sleep until 8 as TL wasn't open until 9 - arrived around 8:45 and that's when I realized I left the tickets in the hotel safe. They were on old passes from 2001 so they weren't on our keys to the world. DH was not happy!!!! He was gonna take the bus back to get them while we waited (which would have been a 2 hour ordeal). I finally talked him into taking a cab and he was back within 1/2 hour (only cost $9 with tip). Anyways, checked in for our cabana and let me tell you, it was worth every penny. Comfortable lounge chairs, tables, a safe, cooler with loads of ice and water bottles, towels and refillable mugs and a place out of the sun right near the wave pool. Felt a little funny at first because people would stare as they walked by. Great service too - Sean was our cast member for the day. He would check in every hour or so to see if we needed drinks, lunch or a snack. The area is roped off and one time we forgot to close the rope when we went to the wave pool and when we came back there was some guy sitting there. We told him he couldn't be there and he said all mad - "can you tell me why?" You couldn't help but laugh but really, you could see our stuff all around and that it was in a roped off area. He did leave but you could tell he was mad!!! LOL We stayed until the parked closed at 8:00 - we had so much fun - would do it again in a heartbeat. One note though, went on the water rollercoaster - boy, does that hurt your butt - you have to really sit up on the tube otherwise you get almost like a rug burn when you go over the conveyor areas.
Day 6- MK
arrived around 7:30 - park a lot more crowded at that time than the others. At opening headed over to SM and then Buzz. Then over to MP and then Splash and Thunder. Rode PC, JC and then HM. Had lunch and then, you guessed it - back to the pool for the girls to work on their tans. Didn't have much time though, had 4:10 reservations at Hollywood & Vine Fantasmik Package.
Prior to dinner, we obtained fast passes to RRRC (DD favorite ride). After dinner which was good, not great, we saw Indiana Jones and then rode RRRC. Then we sat and watched American Idol on the big screen near the hat. Boy, the contestants were good!!! Then the Rock & Glow Dance Party started and the girls had so much fun!!! We couldn't stay long though - we had to make our way over to Fantasmik - great show!!! Always love it. I can't imagine having to wait in that line though with the heat!!! Dinner package is so worth it.
Day 7 - Day of rest - family slept until 10:00. I'm a morning person so I kind of strolled around the resort and went down to the pool. The girls spent the morning and afternoon sunning themselves and then we went to DD by boat. Did some shopping, had dinner and then headed back to the resort, again by boat. That has to be the most relaxing way to travel. I'll never take the bus to DD again unless I have to - that ride is a nightmare with so many stops - it takes more than an hour to get back.
