Nzoner's Game Room>Walt Disney World
Brianfo 12:01 PM 01-11-2006
My wife and I will be taking 2 small children to Walt Disney World in Florida in 2 weeks. I get to go as a bonus thru my work. We are staying at the Hilton. My question is what is the weather like down there in January? Any good ideas on what to see and do with twins that are 2 years old? I am kind of looking forward to it. A chance to get out of Iowa in January. Oh well, enought blabbing. Any responses are greatly appreciated.

I probably have it:

1. Epcot
2. Magic Kingdom
3a. Animal Kingdom
3b. MGM

Animal Kingdom has some really cool stuff but it gets a lower rating from me mainly because there are some great zoos around here. Hopefully they continue to add rides.

Yeah, not too many great zoos in the KC area. Best is Omaha, but that's kinda far away.

QFT

Just got back from a 10 day trip a couple weeks ago. Had an awesome time!! Only my teenage son did not enjoy the trip, but he's just too cool for WDW, so it wasn't a surprise. He brought his best friend with him, and even he had a good time.

We got to be Grand Marshalls of the Main St. parade, that was damn cool! Cheesy as hell, but great fun! Not sure who enjoyed it more, my 2 kids (the younger ones, 10 and 7, not the teen) or my wife, who's a bona fide Disney nutcase (in a good way :-).

How did you NOT see that one? It is right next to Big Thunder Mountain.

It is basically like the Viking Voyage at Worlds of fun but on steroids. Guess you could also compare it to Small World with the big drop at the end if it annoys you. heh

That one was great but can't touch Philharmagic at all.

Yeah, but then they would be called sexist.

fwiw--the two restaurants I highly recommend are Boma, at the Animal Kingdom Lodge (buffet-style--domestic and native foods) the breakfast was the best I've ever had bar-none, and the Retro-cafe?? at Disney Studios (formerly MGM)---like stepping back into mom's kitchen in the fifties--the kids loved both.

Speaking of restaurants....
I didn't try this place but my in-laws did on the day that we drove to Lakeland to visit our friends. Apparently, Fort Wilderness has a buffet place up by the boat dock. According to them, it is horrible. The layout is terrible and the pricing is really high.

I'm surprised it wasn't pink and green.

It's called the 50's Prime Time Cafe and it's a dining experience. :-)

Sorry to say, you really missed out on by far the BEST 3D show in all the parks. I went back to watch it again I enjoyed it so much. It is back by Peter Pan.
