4 Parks in 5 Days Trip Report-- 7/16-7/20

Hello All!!
I just thought i would post my pictures i took on my vacation from Thursday July 16 thru Monday July 20th.

A couple of notes on the weekend that i learned...
--July is Brazilian Tourist month... i think there must have been at least 50 different Brazilian Tour Groups... i really do think that the WHOLE country of BRazil comes to WDW in July... SOme IMO are rude and such... but others (not that many though) are nice... The one thing that bugs me was that they talk during the ride... And i know a little of Spanish/Portugese so i know they werent translating... (sorry to start off on a "sort of" bad note but it will get better).
--Also, i made several reservations for ADRs i made one for Ohana in April, then i made a Whistpering Canyon and Tutto Italia in June. THen in June when at WL for MoP i double checked my ADRs and they had them...So then we got to Pop Century and forgot our ressie ### for Whispering Canyon... Then they said they didnt have it then they said they didnt have our Tutto Italia one... So the concierge really didnt help, later that day we went to DAK so we went to Guest Services to check again, b/c we knew they could help.. THey helped and figured out and such, and re-booked our ressies... but the NOTE here is that the lady (sorry forgot name) at GS at DAK said that they just REDID there ADR system so some maybe didnt change over... So im just saying that advice is if you dont have a COnformation ### with you, i would just double check before you go to the restaurant so they dont turn you away...

On to the report:
Thursday July 16th-
*We arrived and such, we went to DTD and walked Marketplace, Pleasure Island, and West Side... We did the Princess Diana exhibit, it was ok, not what i expected... It is running through the end of Novemember, if you want to go and you are a Passholder, you can get the CM discount of $8 so just ask... It is nice, just not what i expected, also i dont have many pics b/c NO PICTURES were allowed...

*Then we headed over to Disney's Hollywood Studios to see Fantasmic! at 930, but first we headed to TSMM, the line was long, so we didnt do it, then headed to RnR, the single rider line was shut, so we did One Mans Dream, i took my time and saw the movie for the fist time THen headed to Indiana Jones EPic Stunt Spectacular, the place was CROWDED, then we quickly headed to American Idol Expierence Finale, and then ate "dinner"...
