Maybe we can start a support group for them??

We have said every time we need to go to the Hoop Dee Doo Review. We've never made it, but I still promise myself I will get there one day.

Baloo thinks me weird, but I don't think it had anything to do with Subsonic!

We haven't done Tom Sawyer's Island & plan to every time we go, but never make it. Anyone know about how long it takes to check everything out? Are their bathrooms on the island (got little ones)?

I don't remember any restrooms on TSI and I've checked a map of the MK on the net and it doesn't show any on TSI. Last time the restaurant there (Aunt Polly's) wasn't open. Does anyone know if that place is open now or still closed?

Yup, have to agree with you on that one bud

Pretty sure Aunt Polly's is closed - think I read that somewhere on here actually.

We really like the show too, it is a nice place to grab a quick bite to eat and take in a show all at the same time! Plus you get to sit down and not stand in line

I'm about to reveal a shocker... I have NEVER done the American Adventure @ EPCOT.
BUT, I plan to change that in December when I will be without kids. I may even throw in a little Hall of Presidents action in there.

Oh, you will not regret taking the time to go to the American Adventure! The song "Two Brothers" always brings a tear to my eye. And you'll be able to gauge whether your older two children would be able to sit through the show - I would think it could be a little long for the younger set. Maybe it is too long for the older set as well. My Mom generally sleeps through it but I think that has more to do with a dark, cool environment with plushy seats than the show itself

I have never been on the astro orbiter. It't the only magic kingdom ride or show I have not been on. Next trip... maybe

Yes, there are restrooms on TSI. There's some in the fort (definitely there) and also one at the dock (I think anyway).
We usually spend at least a half hour walking around. If you like to explore the paths and the caves it'll take a bit of time. Plus is so nice and quiet and shady during the day - it's a great place to escape to.

Oh my! You have been missing some of the great stuff at EPCOT! It sounds like they have deep-sixed the human tour guides on Living with the Land though so that experience will be a little less rich than it used to be

Last trip we waited probably 45-minutes to ride the new ride at The Studios and ended up being turned away when the ride went down. The ride was either down or a two-hour wait every time we were at The Studios. Hopefully, next trip will be able to go on that ride. I have pictures of the toys and games in the queue but didn't close enough to the front to get those pictures.

Yes, sadly "George" has met his demise, but it's still a great ride. My kids (14 and 12) still talk about it--they really enjoyed watching the unique ways to grow things.
It's one of those rides we hop on either after getting off of Soarin` or when grabbing FPs for it.
Do it next time, NaCler--you won't regret it.
