Day Four - Parks & Resorts

Today is the Family Magic Tour. We met up with three other families at 10:00 AM for a two hours treasure hunt combined with silly antics through the MK. DD7 enjoyed the Tour a lot, but DD2 was a handful as she tried to grasp the concept of the whole thing. In the end, the Tour met up with Peter Pan and we all went to see Philharmagic 3-D show. The magical moment was when DD7 ended up sitting right next to Peter Pan during the show.

After the Tour, we headed back to WL for an impromptu lunch at WCC. Then, we relaxed around the resort until 4 PM when the in-room sitter arrived from Fairy Godmother.

Yes, tonight was Parents' Night Out.

Original plan was for DW and I go out to a signature dinner at Artist Point and then hit MK. But, yesterday, we decided to change the plan (all trip plans are made to be broken!) New plan called for us just to eat simple snacks and counter service meals and do as much rides in parks as possible.

Forget about romance. We're here to have fun!

DW and I headed to MGM first to hit the couple thrill rides there DW missed earlier this week, Tower of Terrors and Aerosmith's Rock n' Roller Coaster.

DW didn't care for the neither one of the rides. I thought the Tower of Terrors was good, but the Aerosmith's thing was pretty lame. The ride was not "thrilling" enough (Space Mountain is more thrilling - and that is not saying much) and it seemed very short. Unless I am riding with someone new, most likely I will not waste time doing this ride again.

Then, DW and I jumped onto the bus and headed back to MK for the EMH. We rode Space Mountain first, then Haunted Mansion. After that we went to the Thunder Mountain Railroad. The crowd was thin, as this was during the parade time. We rode Thunder Mountain three times without having to get off. Then, for laughs, we rode Pirates of the Caribbeans without the kids. Finally, we did the overdose on Space Mountain and rode it back to back 4 times. Each time it took less than 10 minutes to get through the line.

Five hours. Two parks. 12 rides. And throw some pin trading in the middle there and taking some photos. Not bad for a night of work.

Sitter has left. The kids and DW are asleep now. I should turn in soon.
