Walt Disney World Day 6 Report

December 11, 2002

Trip Log:

Walked from Yacht Club over to the Studios. Saw Beauty and the Beast and then Little Mermaid (walked around the park between the two shows). Then bussed over to Contemporary to meet some of our group who went fishing. Walked around the Contemp, grabbed a quick bite, then over to the Magic Kingdom. Road the train around and got a fastpass for Pooh. Walked over to see Hall of Presidents. After the show took the Lilley Belle around. Saw the Share a Dream Come True parade. Went and road Pooh. Then walked back to Monorail station and took it over to the TTC then over to EPCOT. Found out there is no bus from EPCOT to Downtown Disney running, so took a bus to MGM then one to Downtown Disney for the evening. Ate at Fultons then over to Disney Quest. Then bussed back to Boardwalk and walked back to Yacht club to call it quits for the night.


Thoughts & Observations:

  • We split up to start the day. Half the group over to the Contemporary for a 10am fishing, and the other half to finish up the attractions at the Studios. One problem with the late park openings is making it to early fishing times at Bay Lake. With the Magic Kingdom opening at 9am most of the days that means busses do not start till 8am. First round of fishing is at 7 or 8am. So they had to go on the second one. Or pay for a cab ride (we opted for the later time)

  • Visited the MK after and there were healthy lines at most attractions. We got a fastpass for Pooh just so it would be fresh in my mind to compare to Disneyland's version that opens this Spring... I was unimpressed again by it. Young kids seem to love it but to me its missing something, not sure what... I like Peter Pan and Mr. Toad but this just seems no where near it, but the lines are just as long...

  • Caught the Dream Come True parade in the MK... I was surprised to see it no longer stops and performs. It just kept rolling by (and I was in the middle of Frontierland, where it should have stopped).

  • We had some time to dinner(Fultons) and had not ridden the monorail to EPCOT (always a crowd favorite) so we decided to do that and then take the bus from EPCOT to downtown Disney. Of course we got to EPCOT and there was no bus running to DD. So we bussed to the Studios and then caught another bus to DD.

  • Spent some time in DisneyQuest after dinner, still a fun place to hang out for a bit. I learned that the park hoppers plus features no longer include DisneyQuest. So basically your plus features are only the water parks(of which Typhoon Lagoon and River Country were closed when we were there) and Pleasure Island.
