- Treatment of daughter on birthday throughout the Magic Kingdom. Received special call from Goofy (Are you Lucy, from Philadelphia?) on checking in at Disney City Hall.
- random run-ins with characters outside of Official Greeting Opportunities -- Lucy just happened to wander into Aurora yesterday within minutes of entering the Magic Kingdom
- It's A Small World. Still.
- Fastpass. Why doesn't everyone use it?
- Splash Mountain, the ride.
- Disney's Philharmagic 3-D smell-and-water-o-vision movie. Why aren't all films done in that format?
- Robot Lincoln.
- The stamp-and-tag collecting program at Epcot's world showcase, because otherwise, I don't know what Lucy would have gotten out of it.
- Marrakesh lunch and entertainment
- Princess breakfast -- food good, visits from Jasmine, Belle, Mary Poppins and Aurora even better
- Hoop-De-Doo!
- That Pluto (who Lucy still calls "Poodle") can sign his name.
- Seeing daughter ask for ketchup at the Whispering Canyon Lodge
- Running into a middle school's run-through of Annie's greatest hits at Epcot.
Things that are less than awesome:
- Four-year-old daughter's reactions during Splash Mountain ("I don't ever want to remember this!"), "scary" parts of Philharmagic.
- Somewhat lackadaisical service at some restauarants
- Splash Mountain's reliance on Song of the South characters as its narrative, since no one knows who Br'er Anyone is anymore.
- I get the sense they're still not sure what to do with the non-World Showcase parts of Epcot.
- Robot LBJ and Robot William Howard Taft not built proportionately.
- Excessive promotion of Vacation Club plan, including voicemail message in room.
- My stamina. Two more days!
As you can see, awesome remains in the lead.
