Welcome to my first ever photo trip report on Theme Park Review! So yesterday, after 9 days away from home in the Southeast, I returned to Illinois exhausted but ready to do this for all of you. I'll try to complete this as quick as possible because I loved this trip dearly and I hope you love this trip report just as much. 25 new coaster credits, 5 new parks, it was a great way to start off my 2019 coaster season! Day 0: Arrival (see below) Day 1: Disney's Animal Kingdom and Disney's Hollywood Studios (pg. 2) Day 2: Epcot (pg. 3) Coming soon Day 3: Magic Kingdom Day 4: Universal Studios Orlando and Fun Spot Orlando Day 5: SeaWorld Orlando and Fun Spot Kissimmee Day 6: Busch Gardens Tampa Day 7: Six Flags Over Georgia and Fun Spot Atlanta So let's get started. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Day 0: Saturday, March 23 - Travel Day For those of you who weren't following along with my planning thread for this trip, the basis of this entire adventure and why we planned the extra parks is because my school's band program was going down to Disney and Universal for Spring Break (I play trumpet because I know someone is going to ask). We rented out a bus from Entourage Management for transportation, and we were due for departure from the high school from 7:15 AM. So it was a super early morning for me and my sister (who is a senior) but we packed up, met up with our hotel groups, and left fairly quickly. It was a pretty uneventful day, but the bus ride was fun. We played some games, watched some movies, listened to some music, and saw some random sights at out stops, including the Whitehaven Welcome Center in Kentucky, driving through the city of Nashville, etc. The bus drove through the night; our last rest stop for the day was just outside of Chattanooga. The entire bus, including myself, slept through Georgia and most of Florida before waking up around 6:00 AM to the sights of Volcano Bay and White Lightning. It was a great wake-up call, especially when we drove by some other sights like the record-breaking flats (Slingshot, Starflyer, etc.), Mako and more. For those of you who didn't see my thread (as I said earlier), our hotel was in Kissimmee literally right across the street from Fun Spot. Once we got to the Comfort Suites, the group leaders and chaperones told us we had two and a half hours to shower, get ready and packed, and eat breakfast before departure to Animal Kingdom. Up next... Disney's Animal Kingdom and Disney's Hollywood Studios.

To make it worse, you're stressing out about your next work assignment, making you squirm a bit. B&M recalls all their coasters in Florida.

I was going to save all my thoughts for the trip report but I need to say Epcot today was f*cking incredible. It's all so enamoring and beyond words, I can't wait to share my report with this site. -

I always appreciate helping others, both in real life and with coasters. I like being viewed as a nice guy. Today, I was really helping a friend with a trip to KK and Holiday World, but then he said this: "Both parks don’t look to be overly impressive tbh. I would go to KK for Storm Chaser and Lightning Run but also Holiday World for Voyage. Although Voyage doesn’t really look that outstanding to be honest" Why would you plan or put money into a trip when you're not impressed by them? Complaining enthusiasts are the worst, and this might be the worst encounter I've come across.

What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?
jlp94 replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Last one for me was Superman at Six Flags Great America at Holiday In The Park. I'll have 34 new credits from Florida and Georgia in two weeks' time, however! Photo I took of it that visit -

My Spring Break 2019 Trip Planning Thread

It's still with school. While it's not a band day (meaning we aren't playing anything), we still need to stay in groups. I doubt the other 4 members of my group will all be buying that. In comparison, SFOG is just a visit with my family -
