The first thing we did was go to the "Tower of Terror". I had never been there before, so I wanted to try it out. Loved it. I kind of like that stuff. I laughed so hard.
Of course we did the tour and that is always fun. They like to show the special effects. It was so crowded that we had a hard time getting into some of the shows and rides, but we got to see enough.
We weren't exactly warm though. As the sun went down it got a little cold.
They had one show called the American Idol experience. People try out during the day and if they make it they get to perform in one of the shows, the audience immediately votes and we know the winner instantly at the end of the show and then at the last show of the day all the winners perform and the grand winner gets to perform in front of real American Idol judges at one of the auditions. Anyway, it was fun.
Right before we left for the day, I dragged Derek back to this area where I had seen all these lights draped on the buildings, and I knew they would be lit up, and boy they sure were. In fact it was a light show.
Here is a little video to show you.
The MAGIC KINGDOM
The next day we got up extra early so we were sure to get into the Magic Kingdom part of Disney World. We forgot that you had to ride a ferry over from the parking lot to the actual park. We were on one of the first ferry's over.
We rushed in to get our fast passes to Thunder Mountain and while we waited we ran over to Space Mountain and there wasn't much of a wait, so we went on that. A nice guy in line who was a fan of Disney, gave us some much needed advice on how to navigate the park. He was kind enough to take our picture. 
Of course I had to get a picture with the castle.
After Space Mountain, we ran over to use our Fast Passes at Thunder Mountain and found out it was closed, urgh! Well, since Splash mountain was right next to it, we decided to go on it because the wait time was only 20 min. We didn't know we were going to enjoy one section for 20 minutes. The computer went out while we were inside and everything came to a halt, thank goodness they turned the music off, because after about 5 minutes of that I was about to tear my hair out. All the logs jammed up and we just had to sit there. But we did get an extra fast pass out of it (which we didn't end up using, Oh well)
Thunder Mountain finally opened and we got to enjoy that. By now my poor feet were developing some blisters and it was excruciating. (Never wear new shoes to something you have to walk a lot in.) We had seen everything we wanted at Magic Kingdom and since we didn't have little kids with us, that was just about what was left to see.
EPCOTT CENTER
So we took the Monorail over to Epcott. It was way crowded there too, so we didn't get to go on some of the most popular rides, (2 and 3 hour waits) but we saw enough in the half day we were there.
One of the coolest things we did was go on this thing where you designed your own ride and then they put you in this machine, the seats were like this below. The seats were hooked on a hydrolic arm and it just swung you around up and down and upside down however you designed your ride. You were looking at video representation as you moved so you felt like you were really on a ride. It was way cool. When we were about to step in the guy looked at us and said "You do realize that you are going upside down 4 times" He must have looked at these old people and thought we were crazy. But I loved it!
Well, by the end of the day I had 5 blisters on each foot and was ready to collapse in a nice hotel room, which I did.
.
The next day we slept late and went shopping at some outlets and then took off to go home. It was a quick trip, but it was fun.?

That would be cool to make you're own ride. I liked the movie. That would be cool to be there live.
