If you can pick a date/time when I'm not working, I can most likely make it to any one of the four parks. Of course, the catch is that I won't know if I'm working or not until the week before, when the schedules are posted........

(edit: Wooo, page ten!)

Yea I will be there the 21st... sounds like a plan. Right now I think my wife and I are planning to spilt that day between MK and Epcot. I am there the 14th thru the 22nd leaving the 23rd.

The 21st sounds good, we can do an EPCOT thing, lunch, dinner, or illuminations. I still (don't yell) haven't seen Illuminations yet. I know I should have by now but I haven't been in EPCOT even close to the show time. This year I plan to see it and record it.

And hopefully you, Andrew, have that day off if not I can always do the 22nd. I guess for the Halloween night we can wait for the schedule to come out and decide on which one, I will be at the four during my trip, Just got the tickets yesterday, WOO HOO!!!!!

Hey, thanks for sharing that!

I don't know if I like the new song. It's not as catchy as Share a Dream Come True. Also, is it just the same parade, but with no globes?

Also, someone told me that MGM doesn't have a parade anymore. Is that true?

Post by **acp** » Oct Sat 07, 2006 10:21 am

I don't know, as I haven't seen Share a Dream Come True.

MGM certainly does have a parade. The Stars and Motorcars Parade happens each day at 3pm.

Andy. Off to the Magic Kingdom for the afternoon now.

Well I know that I will definatly be there on the 21st and 22nd. My brother will be filming them and I get to watch and carry the equipment,

. I will talk to my brother, the last time I talked to him about it he said one day he wanted to film from behind the Rose and Crown. He heres that it is the best spot to watch Illuminations, eh, we will only know after we see it.

Post by **acp** » Oct Tue 10, 2006 12:32 am

Nah, the best spot for watching IllumiNations is right at the front of the world showcase. Most nights (weather permitting), they open the *very* front area (sitting room only) around 10 minutes before the show starts. That's where I always watch from (and is where I filmed my video of it that's on my site from). Most people I've spoken to/overheard have said that's the best spot to watch from, since you're right in the middle and there's nothing in the way of you watching it.

Andy. Just got back in from work. Yes. It's 0130. Extra Magic Hours suck.

I agree that the best place to watch the show is at the front of the world showcase right where they open up the small section. I've sat right at the front once, but the bars were in the way, lol.

And I also agree that EMH sux- unless you're a resort guest. But it's fun(if not a little creepy) to walk around the park all by yourself with hardly to no guests.

All being well, I should know what my work schedule looks like for the 21st. Now, for three weeks in a row my days off have been Friday and Saturday (although this week I swapped a shift with someone so actually ended up with Tuesday and Saturday).. If this trend continues, I will be off on the 21st. We'll have to wait and see.

I managed to go to Animal Kingdom to watch the Lion King show (and get some lunch), then head to Disney-MGM Studios for a few hours before watching Fantasmic (which was at 7:30 today due to the park closing early), and finally getting to Epcot at 21:55 just in time to watch IllumiNations. I then got a monorail to the Ticket and Transport Centre and could see HalloWishes going on at the Magic Kingdom, which was cool (although I still want to see it from *in* the park...) I'm uploading the photos as I type this, and will link them from the photo index on my site later on.

Andy. Working Fantasmic tomorrow, according to the schedule..
