July 9th & 10th.
Ok so I had two days off before a long long schedule (show you later) and manged to accomplish a lot in little time it seems.
July 9th 2006
So I got a bit of sleep in the morning and relaxed in front of the TV for a bit. Watkins apparently is also a fan of Big Brother, and since theres an All Stars season going on we're both a little interested. Somehow he discovered that you can watch the shows on cbs.com so we watched the only one thats aired so far. After that ended me Watkins and Steve decided to head over to the studios for the day. Watkins and Steve had not seen the new Pirates of the Carabbean movie and they planed to go this night, but since I mentioned they'd probably want to buy tickets ahead of time we made a stopover at Downtown Disney first.
When we arrived at the AMC 24, we all decided to see a Matanee and thus I was going to the movie again. We bought a tickets for a showtime that was two hours away and went to Planet Hollywood for lunch. After lunch we went to Virgin Megastore to kill some time and I bought a wall charger for my iPod (my computers been having trouble wanting to charge it). It was then time to go to the movie and the theatre was literally the biggest one I'd ever been in. It had two balconeys!
After the show we headed over to the Studios, where our first attraction was the Rockin Rollercoaster. From there we walked onto the Great Movie Ride, and then into Muppets 3D, and onto the last ride of the night for Star Tours. From there we went over to catch the 10:30 showing of Fantasmic (happens 30 min after everything in the park closes). Matt was working the concession so we went and got snacks and grabbed our seats. So in just a few short hours at the park we managed to hit 5 attractions!
July 10 2006
Much like Sunday I had little idea as to what I was going to do on this day. I felt like I was going to go to the Magic Kingdom but since we have an inspection on Wednesday I did some cleanup in the afternoon and booked hotels for my mom and brother for September. When that was done I did a little sitting around to see if anyone else was interested in the Magic Kingdom, which no one seemed to be so I headed off there alone, with my Pal Mickey to see what he did.
When I got there I knew Louisa was working the Jungle Cruise so I got a fast pass, and progressed to see if Shanan was working the Haunted Mansion, and she was out on the greeter position. I briefly talked to her and continued on my tour around the park. While I was partway through Fantasyland my cellphone rang and Jei was calling to see if I wanted to go to the Magic Kingdom. I informed her I was there allready so she mentioned that she'd come and meet me. I did a short walk through toontown and into tomorrowland as I was looking for a Tollhouse ice cream sandwhich (which I could not find in the Magic Kingdom at all) and got a root beer float.
At this time it was time for me to use my Jungle Cruise fast pass so I headed over to Adventureland. I went to the fast pass line and asked the girl outside if Louisa was working a boat, and the response I got (after a few seconds delay) was she was working at Pirates of the Caribbean because it was now open... I still went on the ride anyway knowing full well she wasn't working pirates. The next girl I encoutered (the one that actually physically took the fast pass) was pretty sure she was on a boat. Finally the guy on the loading dock knew she was on a boat and let me stand aside and wait for her boat to come around. It was time for her lunch but she made one more trip since I was there waiting. Honestly even though she pretty much floored it all the way through the curise she was the best skipper I've had since I got here.
When I got off the boat my phone rang, Jei was at the TTC and was about to board a monorail so I told her I'd meet her on Main street, and I went to see why my Pal Mickey wasn't working. While I was trying to make it work Jei arrived and "stole" my Pal Mickey for the rest of the day (and it seemed to work fine for her). We went to Casey's so she could grab some food, then went to see how long the line was for Pirates of the Carabbean since Jei hadn't ridden it yet. It was too long in our opinion and on our way back we got on Aladdian's Magic Carpets since neither of us had ridden it yet. While we were on there we spied Aladdian, Jasmine and the Genie signing autographs, and since I need to get princess autographs and pictures for Alisa we went to main street to get a princess autograph and photo album, with Jei getting a Dole Whip on the way by (basically pineapple flavouried soft ice cream). We got back and got in line, getting our pictures and autographs. And then we headed over and rode Pirates of the Caribbean. From there we headed over to Tomorrowland to ride the TTA and Stitch's Great Escape. But both of us were getting a little hungry so we at at Cosmic Rays, then went on the TTA (People Mover), and finally into Stitch's Great Escape (That we got fast passes for before we ate at Cosmic Rays). Stitch wasn't bad but I can see why the origional Extra TERRORestrial Alien encounter would have freaked out some kids.
After this we headed over to toontown and rode Goofy's Barnstormer, and then into Mickey's Philharmagic. At this point Spectro Magic was still on so it would be tough to get out of the park so we went to The Haunted Mansion, and rode it hoping to get Shanan in the stretch room or something. We didn't see her and on our way out we found that she was now greeting outside of the mansion. We proceded to ask her some stupid questions (can I see the fireworks from here? Is this the haunted mansion? other things like that). When the fireworks started we began to fight our way out and on Main Street Jei was craving a snack so we went into the bakery and at this point the fireworks were ending so we sat in there for a little while to let the crowds dissapate a little, and then went out through the merchendise stores.
When we left the park we had one of two choices for long lines to stand in to get back to the TTC, the Monorail or the boat. We went to the boat before deciding to go back to the monorail. I noticed the resort monorail had a MUCH shorter line so we got in that one instead (still stops at the TTC just isn't an express). We only had to wait for 2 monorails before ours pulled up and there was only one stop before the TTC. Anyway from there we went home where I pretty much crashed.
Now today is the first of 10 days of work in a row so I doubt I'll have a lot of exciting things to share, but I'll still try to keep this updated.
