I have returned from Walt Disney World! =3 Prepare for a rundown and assessment of the trip (if you're one of those people just reading for the pics, skip the next section).

Well I didn't sleep at all the night before I left, saying goodbye to everyone and packing and such. So I slept most of the trip in the new minivan when I left at 6AM on Monday XD It was fun since I got to sleep most of the way there >3> We got there around 4PM and checked into our motel-ish thing and then headed straight for the Magic Kingdom. My baby sister was in awe of Cinderella's castle and came with us to ride on the carosel and other similar rides. We did the basic stuff you find around the center of the park, teacups and such, luckily it finished raining before we got there. We stayed until fireworks started going off then left before the crowd hit and the baby got cranky. Not a very productive first day but it was a nice start. Tuesday we headed back to the Magic Kingdom and right off the bat we met Fairy Godmother and she told us where to find the other characters. We started off by waiting forever in heat for Ariel in her grotto, it was worth it though since she was probably the most energetic of all the princesses we met. We saw Tigger and Pooh nearby afterwards but the line was way too long so we went on a few rides and eventually got to the emporium where we stood in line for Rhiannon (baby sister) to meet Belle, Aurora, and of course her favorite of all, Cinderella. We walked around for a bit, shopped a little and saw some of the parade before going to Epcot around lunchtime. We went through Spaceship Earth and the imagination institute and a few other rides before my stepdad had a breakdown about not getting to ride "Soarin'" because it was a 2 hour wait, or Space Mountain cause it was closed. After a little while we were able to cheer him up and headed off to the countries, but not before buying Rhiannon a Figment stuffed animal from the imagination ride XD. We saw Donald in Mexico and did some stuff in China, where I got a zodiac poster for my horse sign and my sister got a papaer parasol. We had dinner... IN AMERICA! (damn you YGO abridged) before it started pouring and lightnining and we had to jump from store to store to get out of there. We ended up getting in pretty early and resolved to get up early to go to Epcot and get the popular stuff out of the way before people could get there. Wensday we went back to Epcot and immediately got Nicole (other sister) her birthday stuff for her 18th bday. We went on Soarin' before anyone got there and that was quite fun XD also got to do Test Track before we set off for the World Showcase again. We got to see Alice and Mary Poppins in the same line and finally saw Tigger, Pooh, and Eyore in the England toy store. Eyore was real nice and took some pictures pretending to sleep next to Rhiannon cause she didn't get to see them since she took a nap in line for Alice and them. We made our way quickly through the rest of the showcase, including the Japan section I nearly squeed over and I bought some cool stuff there while Nicole got dressed up in a kimono and got her hair done for free since it was her birthday. I got a magic lamp in Morocco while we were looking around, this was probably the best day overall XD. Then we headed off to Downtown Disney for Nicole's birthday. My parents had a surprise in store for her and we ended up having a fancy dinner at Planet Hollywood! That was extraordinarily fun and exciting and we ran around there for a bit before shopping a bit more in downtown Disney where Nicole got her name on a billboard after dancing in the square. We ran around for a bit before leaving before it rained (the one day it DIDN'T rain btw). Thursday we went to MGM/Disney's Hollywood Studios and went on the Star Wars rides and stuff like that, unfortunatly my stepdad didn't like it around there too much and we left before giving it much more of a chance, but not without seeing a show or two including "One Man's Dream" which was quite interesting about Walt Disney himself. We got caught in the rain again before leaving. We went back to the Magic Kingdom and saw a few of the rides in Tomorrowland like my stepdad wanted like "Caroseul of Progress" which was so lame it was funny XD we got to see the fireworks and parade while ducking between some of the less popular rides that weren't nearly so crowded because of the earlier storm. We even got to see Mickey's Philharmagic thingy ride which was AWESOME! Friday on the last day we spent the whole day in the Magic Kingdom and took the ferry in and rode and saw a lot of stuff, I even got my picture with Stitch owo. I conquered my fear of heights and went on the Astral Orbiter in Tomorrowland. I got to see Princess Jasmine but she wasn't doing any more pics or signatures, she was on the Magic Carpet ride looking for Aladdin. We rode a few more rides and stuck around for the fireworks before leaving our last day. I didn't wanna leave and I wanna go back soon! T^T NOW FOR THE PICS!

Now for the commentary... it was awesome! XD you got bragged about so much since you know more about Disney than anyone in my family XP you're right, you have totally invaded my mind. We didn't get to see a few things like Animal Kingdom or Fantasmic and hopefully we'll go back soon to see them again. But for now I'm pretty happy to be back, and I'm sure I'll be comparing GD's work to my trip for a while now XD. I even made a wish on the fireworks while we were there, but you guys don't get to know what it is or it won't come true! >///////> <////////< Anyway, summary: it was awesome, didn't want to leave, hope to go back soon, and stop raping my mind! XD
