Hi guys! Just returned today after an amazing week. Stayed concierge at Poly w/ amazing theme park views! Will type a trip report this week! Will be glad to answer any questions! We went to the Christmas Party also, so can help you there, too!

Do you have any pictures to share?

Sounds like you had a great trip. Did you think the party was worth the $$? How were the lines for rides during the party? Did the tropical storm effect any of your days?

The party is worth it to me for a few reasons:

-The fireworks and parade are amazing!
-Low to no wait times for most rides.
-Shorter lines for meeting characters!

The storm did effect us. It began raining at 7:00 the night of the party. It rained out the 1st parade but did clear up just in time for the 2nd parade and fireworks. Disney did let you come back on Thursday for the Christmas Party free of charge since it was technically "cancelled due to weather"! Pretty awesome customer service!

Welcome back- it sounds like you had a great time. My question is how were the CM's? There had been a time when it seemed like a lot of threads and posts were about the CM's being sort of glum.

For the most part, everyone seemed friendly and happy to be there! I did have an issue with one of the boat captains on our Jungle Cruise. My daughter and I were sitting right up front and he did not want her leg touching the seat (she would lay her leg sideways and he kept telling me to get her leg down and not allow her to lay it across the bench. I don't really understand what the issue was. There was nobody sitting beside her, but obviously he didn't like it.

But, we obliged and I am one to keep my mouth shut rather than cause a scene.

Seemed like a lot of people were in the parks, but the wait times were virtually non existent. We didn't wait longer than 10 minutes for anything. Fast Passing made it easy for the more popular rides and we never waited longer than 10 minutes in the FP lines. Pirates of the Caribbean was always a walk on, which worked well, it was my kids favorite!

I think we rode it a total of 20 times this week!

That's why the party we went to was so crowded.

Yep! You had the choice to return to the Thursday party or exchange your party tickets good for one day park hoppers.

Glad you had a great trip! Was there a sign or any indication about when Space Mountain will reopen?

There were signs all over the area that said "winter 2009". I heard they were going to test it today.
