Well, here are my "final thoughts" about the whole trip in general, and I'll do this for both the GF & AKL as well.
* The weather - it seemed far hotter & more humid this year to me. I'm used to FL in July, have been visiting at this time of year practically my entire life, but boy .. there were days when it was almost unbearable!! where you would walk around just feeling slimey and yuck! LOL (sounds so inviting huh? <g>) However ..yep, I'd go again in July! LOLOL I love being here for my birthday, as does Evan for his .. so to me, it's worth it. Besides, I usually get other trips during the year, when it's NOT so bad weatherwise .. and hey, bad weather in WDW is better than bad weather at home! LOL
* The crowds were generally the same as in years past, kind of averaging out - meaning that some days, yes, it was mobbed! Then other days, you could walk without being elbowed to death.
* I personally think that the FP being installed at some attractions throughout the various parks has "messed up" the ride, such as at Peter Pan, HM and a few others. Then you have things like the speedway at the MK, that could really use FP because it's ALWAYS been a long wait .. and it's NOT been installed there! Now .. what sense does that make??? LOL
* I HOPE they don't take away the launch service from the MK to the GF & Poly. I find that so very convenient and a nice way to travel between the park & resort.
All in all it was a good trip. However, being with family members 24/7 for such a long, long time CAN be grating on the nerves!! LOL and was! That's why I am looking forward to the next trip, in early November, to the F&W Festival .. I'm going WITHOUT them!! LOL It's just nice to get some "space" and time to do what you want, without having to 'consult' people, set up times to meet, etc etc etc!LOL
