WDW Trip Wrap Up-Luxury of time?



It was a good trip. Unfortunately we convinced ourselves that because it was for 14 nights, that we had the luxury of time. So we kept postponing things. Because of this we never went to Magic Kingdom to see the evening parade at Magic Kingdom. One of our favourites: Main Street Electrical Parade.

We had hoped to take in some resort tours. Wilderness Lodge, Animal Kingdom Lodge and the Boardwalk Resort tours for example. That was always left for another day.  And never happened.

We had also wanted to join in for the lady bug release at the Grand Floridian kitchen garden. Didn't happen.

At Animal Kingdom we missed seeing Divine. But I noted that she wasn't listed on the daily show schedule. So maybe we were there on the wrong days. The guys missed out on the Winged Encounters. Jeff was the only guy to go with us for It's Tough to be a Bug and walking The Maharaja Jungle Trek.

At EPCOT we meant to do Phineas and Ferb: Agent P's World Showcase Adventure. Then there are live shows at a number of pavilions: Canada-Lumberjacks, United Kingdom-Brithish Revolution and the Paul McKenna Band. France-Serveur Amusant. Morocco-B'net Al Houwarlyate. Italy-Sbandieratori Di Sensepolcro and Sergio. China-Jewelled Dragon Acrobats. Mexico-Mariachi Cobre. We missed seeing all but a small part of the Jewelled Dragon Acrobats.

Mom and I were the only ones that got to see the butterfly house, urban gardens. And only the ladies took the boat around the World Showcase Lake.

Besides the evening parade at Magic Kingdom, we also missed going on Tom Sawyer's Island and trying out a new attraction: A Pirate's Adventure-Treasures of the Seven Seas.

We never did see Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage at Hollywood Studios. Or the Exclusive Preview of Cinderella was at the ABC Sound Studio. Lights Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show is rumoured to be closing soon. Would have been nice to take that show in.

At Universal it would have been nice to have been able to see: Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students in the Triwizard Spirit Rally, the puppeteers performing The Tales of Beedle the Bard as well as Celestina Warbeck and the Banshees perform.

Next trip the plan is to have our relaxing days after we've seen the things we missed on this trip.
