Final thoughts:
What a great vacation!! We manage to weasel in just enough down time to relax and recharge our fading batteries. We really did have a wonderful family vacation and even with all the hoopla around WDW this still is a “family time” vacation.
The Poly is an absolutely beautiful resort, incredibly family and kid friendly. The food is wonderful and the staff out of this world. The room was more than adequate. Five people in 1 room for 8 nights and not getting in each other’s way is either a miracle or a large room. I don’t think that I mentioned that we stayed at Tokelau on the first floor, garden view. Great room, great location!!
What more could be said about WDW? What a wonderful place, not only for the family but for couples and friends as well.
We were really spoiled on this trip. The parks and the resorts were all empty compared to what they are during peak seasons. Heck, they were even off from normal low attendance times from previous yrs. I don’t know if I can handle a 20-minute wait let alone an hour wait!! The parks were so empty that we did not need the itineraries that I wrote up. They were based on hitting attractions at specific times and taking full advantage of fast pass (this was good since I immediately lost the itineraries). Fast pass was only in use on 4 rides and no one was using them. Most rides were walk-ons or at most 10 minute waits.
I have had so much help from the folks here on the DIS I don’t know how to thank everyone. The only way I can help repay everyone for their help is by offering to help others with their own treks. So if I can answer any questions, I will.
Oops, almost forgot. The total for the trip including air and costumes for MNSSHP came to just under $6000.00. Just what the estimate was. I did not include the costumes or MNSSHP tix in the original estimate so we really came in $200.00 under budget.
Next: Planning our next WDW vacation!!!!
