For Easter I went to see my cousin who's in college in Lakeland FL since it's only a 5 1/2 hour drive for me and we both had 3 days off. He had 2 passes for Disney, so we went on Sunday. I hadnt been there in a LONG time and wasnt expecting much, but it was pretty cool. I was a little mad the Pirates of the Caribbean didn't have a lot to do with the movies and the Swiss Family Robinson tree house was kind of lame, but overall it was a good time. Space Mountain kicks ass! The Buzz Lightyear thing and the Stich ride are cool too. The fireworks display was very impressive, I'd have to say probably the best part of the day (theres lots of videos on youtube of the whole show). We even went on "It's a small world". I know, a lot of the stuff is for kids, but it takes you back. Man, is that place clean too. We were going to "drink our way around the world" at Epcot, but one of us had to drive back to his place that night. It was in the 70's and I got sunburn.

I case anyone wants to know:
Parking: $11
Adult admission: $71 (for one park/day)
Hot Dog: $4.25
Soda: $2
T-shirt: $31
Goofy hat: $35
Mickey Ice Cream on a stick: $2.50
Burger/Fries/Drink: $8
Invisible Dog Walker: $12
Hooking up with Cinderella: I'm still working on that.

I spent about $30 between parking and food. I'd say I got my money's worth. Don't think I'd spend $120/day though.

That place rocks!I went last June with the wife and kids and it was a blast.I also haven't been there in years.We had such a good time that we are gonna go back in Jan or Feb of 2009.We went for 2 weeks and we still didn't see all we wanted,plus I was mad that the haunted mansion was closed for remodeling.Oh well,I guess we have an excuse to go back.I think their should be a law that everyone should have to go there at least once in their life.

That's what my cousin said. Those "fast pass" tickets you get are a great way to save time too. Didn't do much waiting in line.

We went last spring and bought hopper passes, the more days the cheaper it becomes(that's relative because it's Disney:rolf) We've gone in Fall and Spring, and it was way easier to get on a lot of rides in October. :headbang
I love Epcot and going to Germany to eat and check out the German chicks they import:D

I would love to go back to Disney World...Now that I am old enough to actually remember it fully and enjoy everything. I went when I was like 9...So idk, I wasn't really young but I don't remember a lot of it. I wanna go back to Universal Studios again too.
