So we arrived home from our trip very late Saturday night. We had a wonderful time.
Highlights:
1) BBB for my DD for the first time. She was in heaven and it was a great experience. She had a lot of fun getting all jazzed up and then eating dinner in the castle. She was super excited that Jasmine was there as well as Cinderella (of course), Aurora, Snow White, and Ariel. She has never seen Jasmine before so that was exciting for her.
2) Our dinner at Narcoossee's was wonderful. Our server was great and we all had a really great meal. The filet and lobster tail was very good and my dessert was so yummy (almond crusted cheese cake-always great).
3) There were very few tour groups than other years. Maybe because we usually go in the middle of July, but did not experience anything like in year past. We actually went two days without seeing one at all.
4) Our room at AKL was very nice even though our fridge was one that was not working. The room was quiet and in a great location.
5) Weather was great. Hot, but great. It only rained one evening for about 3 hours. Other than that, all was quiet and dry.
6) My DS was finally tall enough for Rock n Rollercoaster and had such a fun time. He loved it and we got to go on it three times in one day which was great.
Disappointments:
1) Nothing major, but Tower of Tower was down for over an hour the morning we were there and we didn't get to ride it due to FP for other things, but all in all not too bad.
2) My son loves POTC and was sad it was closed for the first three days of the trip. We usually ride it about 10 times and he only rode it once this trip, but again not a deal breaker and glad we got to ride it at all and of course, the new boats are a lot cleaner so that was a plus.
That was it. Not much to really complain about.
Our trip was a lot of fun. We were very tired at the end. Usually we stay for a few more days and 6 felt really short, but we did it this way to go back in October so on to planning our next trip. Safe travels to everyone else going soon.
