I can see how it became a rough trip We will have hopper's so I hope that
gives us a fighting chance as we won't physically have much more time than you did. May 4th is the pun day for Star Wars May the FORCE be with you. We have only 1 TS ADR and that is during MNSSHP so hoping not too much time spent eating. We have also seen Fantasmic 3 x's so not planning on it again. Not sureif groups are there over Labor Day but I imagine it will be pretty crowded, guess we will see.
Yeah...I'm very familiar with the Star Wars pun. I just don't see what relevance the day had except for the theme name. I didn't see anything more for Star Wars than normal because the Star Wars weekends hadn't started yet. So I'm not sure why that would have been a busier day than the Daytona week we had last Feb or the Atlanta spring break we had last year mid April. Last year, we hopped 4 parks in a day and went back to one a second time and had dinner, and that was a Saturday too. We rode multiples and single rider. This May was the opposite. No single rider line, only re-ride was Mission Space, because even though we had a FP, we didn't need it. That's what's goofy about making reservations for a ride ahead of time. Other than Soarin, our EP FPs were just burners. We walked on to Nemo and did Mission Space before our FP even came up because it had no line and we needed something to ride.
Anyway, I used to tell everyone to book a 3 or 4 day and then have a day or two at the parks. After this week, I say, plan at least 4-5 days in the parks and then tack on a cruise. Even a 3 or 4 day was just perfect, I got off the 4 day Magic completely satisfied with that trip. The parks feel like majorly unfinished business. So I'm sure WDW will be happy with me when I say that you have to basically plan a week at the parks but you might not have any money left for a great cruise. Shame. Shame Shame.
As brought out, happily, my disney card is just as good at Disneyland. And then instead of taking a Land & Sea, some day I'll get a last minute rate on a week long Fantasy and skip Disneyworld. Land and sea was my favorite! Now I feel like you basically have to do them separately based on this last trip.
Phooey.
