Tag along with the Trebilcock's: Disney day 3 and 4

I thought I would blog about our Disney vacation in pieces since there are lots of pictures and lots to talk about it would take me forever to get the whole post done and would take readers forever to read it. So on to day 3. The third day we went to Magic Kingdom. Our favorite park as a whole out of all four parks. We knew we would be at Magic Kingdom for 2 days one of them being New Years Eve (the busiest day of the year) so we wanted to get there right when it opened and just kick out as much as we could. We started going to the left towards adventure land. Next we did all the rides in frontier land and skipped past fantasy land and toon town and did most of tomorrow land. We would do the ones we skipped for our other day. We also did all the roller coasters/water rides (splash mountain, big thunder railroad, and space mountain) because we will be back on New Year's Eve (crazy busy day) so we wanted to get those all out of the way. We wont be doing Tom Saywer's Island, Swiss Family Tree House, Country Bears, Hall of the Presidents (I think this one was closed for refurbishing anyway), or Stiches Great Escape. We really don't care for those ones. Here are a few pictures of this day.

On Day 4 we went to Hollywood Studios (I don't think I will ever get used to the new name to me it will always be MGM). Since my parents and Morgan and Taylor were only going to be at this park for one day we decided to all the stuff they wanted to do and we could do the younger kids things the other day we would be there. So of course we got there before the park opened and thought we had a brilliant plan. The plan was my mom and Jon were going to get fast passes for Rockin Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror. Between 11 tickets we had enough to get fast passes at the same time for everyone who wanted to go on either or both rides. Then they were going to meet us at the new ride Toy Story Mania and we would all go on that together (Yeah along with everyone else in the park). As the rest of us were walking toward Toy Story Mania (no need to go too fast because 2 of our party were getting fast passes) along with everyone else we decided we would be waiting in an insanely long line. So we waited for what seemed like forever for my mom and Jon to get back (the fast past lines were way slow because most of them weren't working) and then we went to Great Movie Ride instead. This is one of my kids favorites. After that, everyone but Hayden and I went to Star Tours. Hayden and I got in line to get fast passes for Toy Story Mania. Yes there was a real long line just to get a fast pass. It would have been longer but there were workers at every fast pass station asking you how many you needed and then they would just hand you that number so no sticking your ticket into a machine. Then the group that wanted to go on Tower and Terror and Rockin Roller Coaster headed off that way. Talmage and Taylor did Tower of Terror and then met me and the other 5 kids at Honey I Shrunk the Kids play area. They all played and ran around while we waited for the others to get done with Rockin. Then we did back lot tours and spent a while looking for Connor who we lost for a bit. After lunch, we did lights, motors, action and then we headed back to the house for some naps and swimming.

We went back that evening to go on Toy Story Mania. Luckily we had our fast passes that I had gotten this morning because the stand by line was 3 hours long. Who the heck would wait in a line as long as church?? Definitely not me especially with 6 kids. I wouldn't wait in a line that long even if I was never going to be back at Disney but that is just me obviously hundreds of other people disagree with me. That was a real fun great ride. Then we went down the New York sky line and looked at all the million of Christmas lights. They were playing Christmas music and some of the songs were in sinc with the lights. They had a few snow machines on top of the buildings so snow was falling down on us. That is one of the reasons we like to go to Disney at Christmas time. Then we went to the evening show Fantasmic. It's a good thing we have seen this show many times because towards the end of the show the projection TV that projects on the fan of water was down (just on our section the other 3 projections were working just fine) and all we could see was a fan of water. That was a little disappointing. I felt bad for the people who have never seen this awesome show. They got a little ripped off. We then headed back home to sleep.
