Howdy people!
Again, it has been a long time ago, but my life is a bit hectic at the moment ;)
June (15-30) this year our longtime dream came true, as a highpoint in our trip we went for a 6day and 6night visit to WDW! My mom, my wife and me!
It was everything and more we had ever expected. We had a great trip with blazing thunder storms and steamy hot days, but nothing stopped us from having the time of our lives.
Especially my mom was so impressed and so emotional about it, worth every dollar and every minute :oops:
Route: Miami > Daytona > Cocoa Beach > St. Augistine > Orlando (Pop Centery/All star Music > St. Petersberg > Naples > Key West > Miami!
The only real, real downside was the passing of one of our biggest beloved stars, MJ.
I hope you will find your peace in heaven MJ. You will be missed, but your music will live 4 ever
We just watched UP @ St. Petersberg when the sad news reached us....
(What a surprise UP was, great movie! Entered my personal top3 pixar movies!)
I'm not that good with words and i think a picture says so much more then words, so i hope my pictures tell the story by themselfs :)
Also we did so much...i don't even know where to begin!
(It ain't them all, but just a impression)
* Argh, why can't i load my picasa pictures here??? *
Glad you had a good time. Now start saving up for California, and even better Disney experience IMHO.
I would love to hear your impressions of WDW vs DLP more than pics to be honest. But I am really glad you finally made it.
Hi Dave!
Well my feeling of WDW vs. DLRP was mostly that WDW is so much more "grown-up" and it's much further then paris. Which off course is normal in years of exsisting, but it just isn't just that.
I expected it to be much bigger and less cousy, but instead is was so much more finished and more magical. Also the castmembers and entertainment had more energy, power and soul to it.
Less the feeling of "Just working @ Disney" like paris, but a real pride of being part of the family.
If you know what i mean?
Especially the Studios is a good example i think.
Our next goal is Tokio and maybe including Hong Kong. :) (2010)
We save the "best" for last. (Also because of the big changes going on there at the moment)
Very true. Sadly the state of the Magic Kingdom, the size of the place and the weather always puts me in a bad mood. Loved it when we honeymooned there in 2000, but since then, each visit has been worse and worse.
That said, Epcot and Animal Kingdom are fantastic. And yes, the cast members are better in the main (it took a long time to get used to DLP cast members).
But that is my one major complaint at Paris is the entertainment offerings. The quality of Tarzan and Lion King used to make up for this, but now, it is sooooo lacking.
Animal Kingdom amazed me in every bit!
I expected it to be just some great zoo, but wow, disney magic is everywhere
and especially in the details. The tree of life is one great eye catcher with so much detail, just stunning!
Epcot also was a great experience, Illuminations was great and World showcase was such a different thing.
But the thing i will never forget is the first time Fantasmic! OMG what a fabulous piece of entertainment! Just blowed me away :shock:

Glad you enjoyed it. You see, I saw F! at DL 1st, and therefore I can no longer enjoy the smaller scale version in Florida. The California version uses the full scale Mark Twain full of characters instead of that little Steamboat Willy version. And instead of the Pocahantas scene, DL has a full size pirate ship with a sword fight between Peter Pan and Capt. Hook. It all comes alive on the Rivers of America which adds to the wow factor. Sadly, I could never enjoy the Fla version other than having a place to sit down.
But I do love the music at both shows
Aw Soap, it's great that you've been to Florida recently and I'm already looking so much forward to your photos :)!
My fiancé and I are going to have our first trip to Florida (Clearwater & Kissimmee with also 6 days at WDW) in November, so I'm enjoying every peace of report and pictures from there :)!
I'm glad that you liked it there so much and I'm really curious to read & see more of your impressions :)!
oooo florida im going htere next year so cant wait to see the photos :D

Sweet, there's even better and more of it :D/
Keep the best for last i say. We are now planning Tokio and HK for june 2010!
Also 1 great attractions is Philharmagic, what great use of all theater options available at the moment. Loved it every time :)
Donald is so cool and just the duck for it.
One of the less appealing atractions was Stitch's Encounter, what a dark (i mean real dark, without real use) and bumpy sitback.
Finally ;)
The first pictures of day 1 @ The Studios.
5 of 6 day we slept @ The Pop century. Good value for the money :)

No we didn't :)
At the $ at this rate, it's a very good deal for the € or pound.
We made a package upfront and i must say i't was a great deal.
1300€ p.p all-in (without gas, food and some extra car rental costs)
(15 days, 14 nights, full size car, medium hotels, all the way around florida)
More pictures will follow soon!

Lovely report and great pictures....
I will probably never visit the american parks due to my insane fear of flying, so it is very nice to read and see something from the parks.
I cannot wait to see more of your report :D

Just keep the final goal insite, just as i do.
I hate flying 2, but it takes me to places where i otherwise won't get to...
It's worth it.
Still the most safe way to travel.

Yeah, I have never been in a airplane before, because of my fear, but I keep saying to myself that one day I wake up saying: "Now I want to fly" - I guess I should just think on something nice :peter:
Great pics Soap! It's interesting to hear your comparisons between the two resorts. I personally prefer the more cosy feeling of DLP. I feel a trip to DLP is much more relaxed, for you don't have to travel long distances to get to the different areas of the resort. I also think Paris has a much better atmosphere overall. But Epcot and Animal Kingdom in WDW are truly amazing parks!
Did you try their version of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster? And if so, which do you prefer?

Sorry can't help you with the RnRC comparison, i'm a no-coaster disney fan.
With other words, i'm a chicken :P
I can answer the the question about the comparison between WDW and DLRP.
At first i thought the distances would be noticed in a lack of the cosy DLP feeling.
But i hadn't have this feeling at all! Yes, you will have to travel a bit from parc to parc or from hotel to the parcs, but i think this is greatly arranged by WDW.
But sure, it is a huge complex!!
But the cosy feeling was even greater in my opinion. Especially for the Studios, what a difference with Paris, just a empty parc so it seems.
It's true that our main parc is maybe the best magic kingdom there is for details and extra's, but the state of some effects or extra's the last couple of years is not doing any good for it's position thou!
Epcot and Animal Kingdom were so great! I't was worth every penny and every minute travelling ;)
Both have got their own style, but are great addition to the overall Disney magic.
I expected AK to be just a big zoo, but oh boy, they put alot of magic in it!
Epcot is just an icon by itself, it has got a totally different Disney experience.
I heard CA is even a better parc in comparision to WDW, so it can even get better :)
Well the vibe of DL is even better, more entertainment and ott versions of the attractions. About 70% of the number of the attractions of WDW but in a space the size of DLP/WDSP/Village/Hotel New York area.
It does not have the remote feel of WDW, it is the most urban setting, but I think the immersion adds to the magic.
Everyone has their fav. But I agree, Epcot and DAK are the only reasons we go to WDW (plus the water parks). Otherwise California with a stay at the Grand Californian is our preferred choice.
Of the RNRC's, IMHO WDW has the better exterior and preshow, with a better loading area. But the ride and effect themselves, I prefer WDSP by far - faster and the lighting rigs/smoke are better than fantasyland style wooden cutouts.

I agree with that, except I definitely prefer the WDS loading area. It feels much more atmospheric and the launch sequence is much better and more suspenseful.
Loving the trip report and photo's so far!! can't wait to read/see more!!! :D
So, here's another update!

Ahhh those pictures bring back memories of my own trip 4 years ago, thanks for sharing them! :) I think the show you're talking about is "Dream Along With Mickey"; sadly that wasn't there last time I was, but I would have loved to have seen the new characters with their moving mouths!
Thanks for the new update Soap :D

Soon, soon. Feeling not all too well atm. (stomach flu) :(
Thanks for the interest!!
Hope you feel better soon!
The pics are fab! so crisp and colourful! I cannot wait to visit WDW, I have waited to visit it all my life! but since having my son I have put flying off each year :? I am not scared of flying I find it exhilarating, but since I`m so overprotective of my son things have changed.
However, I have promised myself and family a long trip to Florida next year :D or maybe 2011 [-o<
Depends how old your son is really. Having taken ours to DLP, WDW and DL from age 12 weeks up, WDW is really much better when kids are older (6 and up). So while they are small, I recommend Paris or California. Plus California has legoland down the road, so another reason to go with little ones over WDW.
Hey Dave, my son is 7 this October :D but I reckon I`ll be panicking for him late into his sixties! haha he`s a very special boy :D
Then he sounds like a great age to take to WDW
Fantastic report and photos Soap, I'd love to go and see some of the other Disney parks in the future too, although I'd probably walk around them all complaining about how DLP is better :lol:
I'm glad you all had a great trip, and I cannot wait to see the rest of your photos :)
This is the full link to day 1 @ The Studios and partly day 2 @ MK.
Second part of day 2 and day 3 @ Epcot will follow soon!
Enjoy :)
Aw, hope you're feeling better, Soap!
And thanks a lot for the pictures, I looked at all of them - they're just great!! Although our trip in November will be the very first one to WDW, it somehow feels as if we've already been there :lol: Anyways, I hope we won't feel lost, I think WDW feels so huge and complex :shock:
I'm already looking forward to seeing your pics of EPCOT and Animal Kingdom!! :)

Back on track and working again :)
I will soon post the Epcot and Animal Kingdom pictures!
Yes it's huge, but in my opinion not less magical!
I can only compare it to DLRP, but we just had the time of our lives :D
