To be honest Reid Muppets 3D is looking quite dated now, a good example possibly of an attraction in need of a re-fit.

Shrek4D at Universal is in a different league.

I agree Johnny. Philharmagic (sp) is another good example of a good 3D attraction

Well we decided on Animal Kingdom again.
This park just grows and grows on me and the troops.

Love the healthy options at this park

Apart from Everest and Safari it was a Camp Minnie Mickey day

 

[Pegasus928]

So you had a change of plan then

And there was me looking forward to reading about Seaworld or Epcot. Hope you had a good day

Glad you like AK, its always been my least fave park, much prefer Busch for an animal park.

 

[tennisfan]

Sounds like you had a great day

 

[disneyholic family]

just getting on board your thread Reid!

CONGRATULATIONS

Glad you are having a good time.

Firstly Congratulations !!!!

Secondly, unless you've rode TSM before I would seriously consider giving it another go, get there for rope drop if you can and head stright to the ride.

My family loved this ride last October and were fortunate to get dream fast passes for the day which helped with the TSM queues

It became quite addictive

 

[Ware Bears]

I'm enjoying reading about your holiday.

Glad you're liking my favourite park!

Well I said I would pay later for shopping and today was that day.

Orlando Premium Outlets, Mall at Millenium, Florida Mall and Prime Outlets.
Converse, Vans, Crocs and Uggs were just some of the bargains bought today.
Can't believe that DD2 was able to get Crocs at $4.99 (before tax)

At Florida Mall my suggestion of walking round all the concessions for our taster lunch was viewed with scorn. So we settled for a few shared meals.

After supper at the villa we headed to Celebration Town. I fancied their fireworks and party atmosphere... so did the rest of Florida.
Diane thought we would be all night getting parked and getting out. So it was off to EPCOT.
I'll give more details later, but Illuminations on the 4th July was awesome
We made it out in good time. Then I took a wrong turn and we were back at the entrance. Got home at 11.00

Tomorrow it is off to Universal as our passes expire after Sunday

 

[Pegasus928]

Pleased to hear you had a good 4th July and got to see some good fireworks -and don't worry about the wrong turn, it happens to the best of us at some point or another

 

[Pinky166]

Yay for shopping days!!!! I love them!

Glad you enjoyed illuminations, have fun at Universal.

 

[tennisfan]

Glad you had a great 4th July in Orlando

 

[wideeyes]

glad you are having a great time

As Universal passes expired today we headed off to USF. Managed to do a final few rides.
After lunch we decided to head to Magic Kingdom.
The park is much quieter than expected. Possibly as yesterday's 4th Celebrations means that guests have went to other parks
Enjoyed first trip on the Jungle Cruise and the Celebration parade

Tomorrow is EPCOT in the morning and the Whispering Canyon Cafe for supper. Followed by Spectromagic and Wishes

 

[Pegasus928]

Pleased to hear that things were operating normally at MK.
Hope you enjoy your day today - sounds like you have a busy one planned.
Have a good meal at Whispering Canyon - and please come on and tell us if they have got some of the atmosphere back in there.

Headed to EPCOT this morning. Was interested to see that the monorails were running again.
Highlights were getting DD2 to go on Soarin, riding Test Track and I know the troops loved doing Kim Possible.
Supper was at Whispering Canyon which I thought was great fun. Then later in the evening we watches Spectromagic and Wishes
