This trip included 2 nieces and my oldest daughters boyfriend - who had not been to WDW sine he was 2 - but more on that elsewhere. MK - Finally got to see HM re do and I wish all things liked this turned out so good- bravo Went to HOP - again another very well done re do - sound was great, and proved one does not need to be an Obama fan to want to see this... Pirates was a walk on or 5 minutes each time we went there ( ?) - however first time thru Davy Jones effect was not working 2 thins about Mickey's Philharmagic okay 3 things 1/ show is still very good 2/ people stop poking holes in the wire mesh where the pie scent comes out- what the hell is wrong with you ? 3/ Disney, please replace these ripped screens with ones that won't tear open the fingers of an 8 year old girl when she runs them over the grates Did EMH the first nite - until 2 AM. -- learned never schedule a character breakfast @ 7:15 Am the next day when you do this... most rides were very short waits except Peter Pans flight that for some reason they issued Fast passes with 1 AM times on them.. Also please, for the sake of all that is holy, please bring back wrist bands...having 5 kids with you, and each being asked for their room card on every damn ride is insane for guest and CM 's alike. Had my usual hot dog with sauerkraut @ Casey's listening to piano chops - still a low tech highlight for me 3 O clock parade - please put this to rest - snooze a rama Had the best Jungle Cruise skipper in years ( Sean) - which makes all the difference in the world. Had to ask him why his name tag said Chris - he said because he lost his name tag so was borrowing one as they get ripped badly for losing name tags. Dole whips - still not over rated - yummo Did the treehouse for the first time in years since we had a newbie with us who wanted to see everything - some great camera shots from up there Still wondering why the idiot 3 people in front of me @ bag check thought it was OK to have a 10 blade Swiss Army knife in his bag -- when he protested vehemently - he was escorted away -- Ate at Liberty tree for lunch ( excellent w/o characters) - and Tony's for Dinner ( good) - Did not miss Space Mountain as much as I missed TTA.... CoP still a great show IMHO Laugh Floor - seemed funnier this time around than the first time...always helps when they choose audience members who play along spent total of 1.5 days in MK -- and maybe because I missed it last year - had a very good time

How insanely stupid and stupidest is that especially in the dark. As Spirit said they don't check the dates. So anybody can bring an old room key. Besides I love my wristband collection souvenirs.
