We all enjoyed AK, although the Lion King Show could have been much better IMHO. Great therefore to see your photos
Hello, would you say it is the same show more or less as disneyland paris?
Did you like the nemo show?

OH NO!!!
DW has woken up this morning with a sore throat, shivering, sweating and swollen glands. Just what we needed half way through the holiday. She went to bed feeling a little rough but hoped it was over tired, and that a good nights sleep would sort it out - but it wasn't to be.
First stop for us once she had got herself pulled round was to Walgreens for some throat spray, tablets and pain relief.
As we were out on our own we decided to nip to Celebration and see if the farmers market was on. It was, but it was a much smaller affair than previous visits. We had a quick look at some of the shops then decided to have breakfast in the Market Street Cafe as we had rushed out to get the missus doped up.
DW had english muffin and poached eggs followed by a pancake, and I had english muffin and sausage pattie followed by french toast. I thought it was superb but DWs taste buds (and appetite to be honest) were all to pot but she still managed to eat enough to keep her going.
My French Toast
We left Celebration and went back to the villa, where everyone was in the pool and larking about. DW went and had a little lie down.
We had a chat about what to do this afternoon and decided that we would have another go at getting in to do the Kitchen Sink. Once everyone was ready we left and headed straight for Beach Club. This time we were allowed in to park and were at Beaches 'n' Cream within a couple of minutes. We were told it would be an hours wait - even though it was only 3pm - but we chose to wait and 15 minutes later there was a table fo us. Having looked at the menu I went for a single burger as I had heard that they were the best on Disney property. DW had a side of onion rings as she still felt rough. The others in the group had a mix of burgers hotdogs and fries.

Then came the Kitchen Sink
For those that don't know the Kitchen Sink consists of: at least 8 scoops of ice-cream, bananas, cherries, angel cake, brownies, oreo cookies, a full can of whipped cream and every topping in the house (there may be more - but you get the idea)
We only had 1 between 8 of us and still struggled to get it finished.
After this we waddled back to the car and headed to DTD to get some shopping in. We split up and went our seperate ways as we all had different things we wanted to do.
One thing on our list was the Characters in Flight - which we went and did while it was still light, though only just.
We then went and had a look around the Disney Store and made use of our AP discount. It is a shame they don't allow this in more of the stores around the parks - as Universal do with their AP - as there was loads we saw in the park shops and wanted but it wasn't available in the DTD store. But I get the feeling that this is deliberate and is purely down to profit - as most things here are.
Once we had done and DW had given retail therapy every chance to kick in we went back to the villa for an early night.

Monday 26th October
I had had my fingers crossed al night that DW would wake up feeling better this morning - but it wasn't to be. If anything she was worse. She topped herself up with tablets - against my advice of staying at the villa and getting a days rest - and we were soon on our way to Epcot.
The plan today was to go and do some of the things that the kids wanted to do and then to head over to HS where we had a reservation for the the Fantasmic dinner package at Hollywood and Vine.
Test Track and Mission Space were on the list, followed by Soarin and Living with the Land.
While the others did Soaring DW decided to sit it out as her head wouldn't cope with it, so we went and sat in the Seasons and waited for them. We had never been in here before but we were really impressed with the food on offer. We never ate on this occassion but we made a mental note to make sure we do next time we come. Everything looked so nice - especially the cakes in the Bakery.
I also managed to do a bit of pin trading with the CMs clearing the tables. I have been pleasantly surprised by how you can find an ellusive pin in the most unlikely of places and this was no exception. On this trip I had decided to take a tip from my mate DizneeMad and look out for the Hidden Mickey pins. These were originally called CM pins, they are only given to CMs and are not available to buy - and it is a lot of fun tracking them down. They usually come in sets of 5 and so far I have managed to complete two different sets and am on the look out for 2 more pins to complete a 3rd set. Fingers crossed though as we are running out of days.
We also had a walk around the World Showcase as DW wanted to get a glass engraved in Germany for her brother as a thank you for dog sitting for us, and on the way DD grabbed a couple of autographs and pics that she hadn't managed to get yet.
Looking from the bridge between UK and France towards DTD
Once Epcot was done we headed off to HS and got there for about 3.30pm. After a quick look in the shops we went and booked in for dinner.
I have read a lot of bad reviews on here about Hollywood and Vine, but this was our 3rd visit here and so far we haven't been able to fault it. The food is always good and topped up regularly and the servers have always been prompt and attentive. I know different people have different expectations but this has always done good by us and we really like it here. It also went down well with the newbies in the group and we all left feeling very content - as we headed off to do TSM.
Last time on this ride BIL beat me by 100 points - so it was war. We decided to sit next to each other to make it more fun and at each screen the lead was changing between the 2 of us. When it came to the last screen it was down to who could pull their string fastest - and BIL had me beat hands down. Obviously this means that he has faster hands and better wrist action than me - make of that what you will
ETA by Mrs Pegasus = I beat Kenny on TSM
even tho I am far from on top form
After a couple more rides and autographs...
...we went to watch Fantasmic.
The place was absolutely full but as we had the dining package we had no trouble getting a seat even with only 20 minutes to go. The show, as always, was fantastic - and DW had a tear in her eye (was blubbing) from the first second to the last. We always enjoy this show and it is one thing that is on the top of our list to come and see. I didn't bother with pics or video for this and just sat back and watched for a change.
One thing that really surprised me though was the amount of people leaving with about 5 minutes of the show left to go. Why would you want to invest 30 minutes of your time watching something, only to leave before the big 'finale' just so you can get on the first bus or tram out of there. I thought holidays were about relaxing and taking it easy - not rushing and trying to beat everyone to the bus stops
Once the show had finished - and I mean really finished - we headed out and were back at the villa by 9. DW went straight for an early night, where she remains even now. The hope is that she gets up this morning fighting fit - or at least 50% of it - as we have MNSSHP tonight and we have been looking forward to this for months.
Any pixie dust you can send us would be gratefully received

What an interesting pic! I never knew you could see DTD (well, the balloon) from Epcot.
Yes, I feel the same as you about Hollywood & Vine. I've just done a review of it in my dining report- I'm hoping it will show people that it's not as horrific as it's made out to be!!

Hope you enjoyed your Burger and Onion rings as much as we do at B & C.
The Onion rings look sooo good in that pic.
Did you get the lights flashing when they brought out the Kitchen sink?
I think all restaurants need to be tried and not pre-judged with reviews. Tutto Itallia was one we read bad reviews about but we would definitely eat there again(on DDP) Cali Grill was not for us but many many people love it.
Hope Elaine feels better soon, I once had a bad cold out there, took medication from Walgreens, everytime we stopped to watch a show I slept thru it, no idea how I slept on the seats watching the dolphin & Sealion shows in Seaworld but I did.

The onion rings tasted as good - and they really were as big - as they looked. we got the whole flashing light and announcement treatment - which was good fun.
I totally agree. Some people like Ci-Cis pizza but we ate there once and wouldn't go back if it was the only restaurant left in Orlando. Reviews are good for giving people ideas, but nothing can replace the actual experience.

I think it depends on which Ci-Ci's you go to, we went to one and it was awful and the previous night we had a great experience there. I also love reading the restaurant reviews too!
Some more great days, I really hope that your wife is feeling better soon. It's just not fair when someone gets ill on holiday.
DH was ill this year when we flew, he had anti-biotics etc, he bought some cough meds from Walgreens and it literally knocked him out! He was sleeping through everything, he decided from there on in that he would only take it at night. It was shocking because it didn't say anything about drowsieness on the bottle!

Hello, would you say it is the same show more or less as disneyland paris?
Did you like the nemo show?
No, it is a very different show than DLP. More about audience participation.
The Finding Nemo show was awesome. I had seen some youtube videos of it and wondered how it would work with the characters and performers. Without spoiling it I would say that you become totally imersed in the production
