Welcome back

Did you stay on or offsite? And how did you like your resort. Did the parks seem very busy to you? Thanks!

I stayed off property at the Marriott Village... it was OK, but there were quite a few cutbacks since this time last year. An employee of Marriott told us that before Sept 11 their occupancy was 90% and now it was about 15%. They have laid off quite a few people.

The bus service (Mears) that took us to the parks everyday said that Disney laid off 1,500 people and cut hours from alot more cast members.

Service at the parks was great... Magic Kingdom was packed on Sat when I went but they only have Spectromagic on weekends right now. I went back to MK on Tues and as soon as the gates opened, we headed for Fantasyland... I went on every ride with no wait and was on to Frontierland within an hour!!! It was amazing!!! The other parks seemed busy but there were no waits for anything and Fastpass was not available at too many locations like it normally is. We really didn't use Fastpass at all...

If you have any other ?'s, please let me know!!
