Magic Kingdom

This is not the best trip report I have ever done, but I simply had to get something finally finished and posted. Enjoy! At MK for 14 Hours. Up at 7:10, not in bed until 3 AM. Tiring, but worth it. Boat again to mk. Nice trip At park 10:00. Overheard would be closing gate soon, crowd. Busy as possible. Heard that they reached capacity during the day, and had to turn people away. It showed everywhere we went. Took train around. Fp for splash 11:00, return at 12:25 Waiting for btmr. Sign said 90 minutes At least the q is nice Really 76 minutes. Fun, fast ride again. Still fun over and over.
	Just sat under bridge, waiting for fp. 15 minute wait, but can't do much else, so crowded. Splash wet and wonderful! Great ride, sat on front, got soaked.
Had an expensive corn dog, but was good. Just waited for hop New hop show is VERY good! Film is inspirational, Lincoln does whole Gettysburg address , very good. Extra Washington speech good. Even Obama is tolerable. Well, if you pretend you dont know who he really is. Just a great, moving show. Got to Liberty Tree at 2:00, reservation was for 2:30. Sat right away. Just lucky, though. Lunch menu, not family style. Pot roast wonderful. Carrots, brown gravy, mashed potatoes. Very good thick soup. Nick and debbie had a good cheese apetizer. Nick cheeseburger, Debbie turkey, said very good. Potatoes, white gravy green beans. Apple crisp was fantastic. Debbie and Nick had brownie, said same.
	Hm about an hour. Great, great ride. Stopped in front of madam leota. That's a bonus. A near perfect hm experience. Went and stood in line for philharmagic Phm is a funny and beautiful show. Lots of great effects and gorgeous art. Almost a 15 minute wait for tta. New VoiceOver on tta. Nick called him kind of lame. Matter of fact, modern voice, not the flamboyant sci fi guy from before. I also liked old guy better. Mentions each attraction properly, though. Space Mountain. 140 minute wait. Supposed to be. Some guy walks up to us after 20 minutes, gives us 2 fast passed. So, on in about 1/2 hour. Fun, fast, dark ride. Return not much different audio or video. But, track bumpier. Lots of fun. Exit different. Not sure if better.
COP. Great little show. End not very futuristic. But, first 3 scenes hold up so well. Stage show Xmas music with live singer, dancers. Also buzz and mike in character,stitch on screen, then on character Stitch. Debbie consented to go with is. This is still fun and funny, complete with chili dogs and cell phones.
	Starlight cafe bacon doubles Saw some fireworks from starlight cafe. Very cool.
Laugh Floor great because of audience, one guy hamming it up. Different show, special new years jokes. Think they must control off a switcher. Snowing when crossing Main Street. Pretty cool. Sat and ate almonds at adventureland gate. Just talked for a while.
	Jungle Cruise. Fun at night, bit skipper weak. Very thick accent, hard to follow (girl). Walk on. Tiki room. Walk on. Frontierland street for fireworks. Great display to Disney music. Spectacular finale. Debbie with us to POTC, then she left. Now, the crowds were gone. Walked on to everything. Splash. Btmr. Hm. Buzz. Tta. All great rides, more than we had done all day.
Did Nick really max score on Buzz? He seemed to. Thought later of may be because he was shooting at rotating target near rafters, where you see in from tta.
	Snowing as we walked up Main Street. Nice boat ride back. Frozen pizza in the room . Not in bed until 3. HappyNew Year!
