I just returned from a fabulous week at WDW. It had been 11 years since my last visit, but I hope it won't be that long until my next. AKL is beautiful. My DH and I spent some time sitting in the lobby just marveling over the different wood carvings and the rest. The lobby is on the dark side but it is awe inspiring. The room was also decorated well. I had seen pictures of the Lodge but they had not done justice to its beauty. I have only seen several places with tilework that would match this.
We ate several times at the Mara and it was ok. For a quick breakfast and snacks it was great. We ate once at Boma. It was nice. The food was good. The one problem we found was that there was a lot of different combinations of foods we were not accustomed to, but I guess that is what is to be expected.
As for the parks, MK was so crowded. My DSs decided which days to do each park. They unfortunately waited until Friday for MK. We did MGM on Monday and hit it just right. We didn't have to wait for anything. The AK was very enjoyable. It's Tough to Be a Bug is fantastic. Well worth the short wait, matter of fact, it is worth a long wait. Epcot bored my 10 yo DSs, so we didn't see much of it. Blizzard Beach was great.
The weather was hot and it only rained once while we were there, but the bugs were not out much. The only time they were evident was while we were waiting for the 9:30 Hoop De Doo Revue.
I want to thank you all for helping us plan our trip to WDW. These boards helped make it enjoyable!!!
