We are visiting Disney again and we really are enjoying it. Dan surprised me with a few Anniversary Celebrations. First, Disney gave us pins to wear that said Happy Anniversary. Everytime a Cast Member said "Happy Anniversary", we would kiss. Then, he had 1900 Park Fare bring us a special, 10 Magical Years, dessert to share. Our first day we went to the Magic Kingdom and had a blast. Andrew got on his first roller coaster with Dad, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, it was fun but that was the last roller coaster of this vacation for Andrew.
The second day we decided to go to Animal Kingdom but I think everyone had the same idea. There were a lot of crowds. We were there the entire day and we were only able to get on 4 rides. It rained (poured sometimes) off and on all day. We had dinner reservations in Epcot at the Akershus Royal Banquet Hall. We dined with I think 5 Princesses. The Kjottkake Norwegian meatballs are Dan's favorite. That night after 9, we went back to the Magic Kingdom. Thankfully the sky cleared up, just in time for the fireworks. We enjoyed a buffet of desserts with the fireworks show then got on a few more rides. We really enjoyed Monster's Inc Laugh Floor. They even used one of Andrew's jokes. Morgan beat all of us at the Buzz Lightyear ride.
On Wednesday we went to Epcot. We rode Spaceship Earth, went sleuthing on Phineas and Ferb's Agent P's World Showcase Adventure, Turtle talk with Crush and travelled the World. Andrew even got stamps and flags on his Duffy the Bear fan from most of the countries. After dinner at Le Cellier, we rode Soaring'. Le Cellier has been our second best favorite restaurant at WDW. The steaks are the best. And the atmosphere completes the great experience.
Thursday, we went to Hollywood Studios. We rode Star Tours five times. I was the Rebel Spy on one of them. Star Tours is the best ride ever and I am not just saying that because I am a huge fan. It is different every time you ride it. We also enjoyed Lights, Motors, Action! I want to know how I can get a job driving those cars like that. We had dinner at The Brown Derby and with the dinner package, you get reserved seats for Fantasmic. We thought the steaks the night before were great, but the Charred fillet of beef at the Brown Derby is da bomb. They also help us celebrate with champagne. After dinner we used our Fast Passes for Toy Story Mania and Dan beat us all at that game.
It was then time to get seated for Fantasmic. We got chosen from the crowd to participate down front in a trivia challenge against another family and we tied. It was fun and embarrassing at the same time.
Friday we went to Downtown Disney then had dinner at Whispering Willows Cafe in Wilderness Lodge. They celebrated our anniversary with champagne. Luckily, we aren't a family who uses ketchup because they give all of the ketchup in the restaurant to any table that asks for it. It is funny when that happens because the collection of ketchup bottles can fill the entire table.
The kids went swimming when we got back to the hotel and we started packing up the truck for our trip back home.
Saturday morning we went back to Hollywood Studios and rode Star Tours a few more times. Andrew and Dad hung out at the Epcot world showcase a bit taking the boat ride to the international gateway. Morgan and I went back to Downtown Disney. By early afternoon we started the long ride home. This truly was one of our best vacations ever.
