Dizzy World Report
On Monday night, we returned from a five-day visit to the Land of the Mouse. Since the trip was so short, we knew that we wouldn't be able to see anywhere near everything, so we planned in advance that we would concentrate on two parks: MGM Studios and Epcot. Epcot because it's the park that's most different from other theme parks, and MGM mostly because E and S have both talked up the Tower of Terror so much that I just had to try it. It was a fun trip, although I'm still having jet-lag issues (which explains why I am up and writing in my LJ at this ungodly hour).
Arrival Day: We spent most of Thursday enroute. Our flights were on Delta, so we "changed planes" in Atlanta. I put that in quotes because we took the same plane the whole way -- we even had the same seats on both legs -- but they still made us get off with all our bags and get back on again. The movie was "Lemony Snicket", which was cute. Jim Carrey was an excellent Count Olaf, and the kids who played Klaus and Violet were good, too. That night, we met the whole gang (E, S, and S's parents (referred to here as Mom and Dad for simplicity's sake), along with a co-worker that Dad picked up at his conference). We ate at the California Grill, a four-star restaurant in the Contemporary Resort. The food was good, but pricey, and bad restaurant policies meant that we had to eat in the lounge even though we had a reservation. So I am hard-pressed to actually recommend the place to anyone. We did get to see the fireworks over the Magic Kingdom, which were nicely done although not particularly special.
