We're back! We had a FANTASTIC time! OMG I was so scared of the crowds for no reason. Was it crowded? Yes. Did I have a plan and utilize rope drop? YES! Our longest wait was 40 minutes for Soarin'. Got to MK at by 7am and WALKED on 9 rides in a row! After that we waited about 10 minutes each. We hit the exit at 11:30am when droves of people were coming in. Went back to Pop swam, napped, had lunch. Headed back to the parks between 6:30-7:30pm til close.
I will never be scared of the crowds again. If you know how to do it it's really not a big deal. I loved the extended park hours. We shut down Epcot at midnight and MK both nights at 1am.
Worst part of the trip is when I was paying for lunch at Sci Fi (Alex's fave). She had been looking at our pics on the camera and then accidently deleted every single one of them! I cried thru the Muppets 3D.

So we walked away with only 21 pictures.
It was great to spend so much time with Alex. Just the 2 of us, no distractions. I hope she remembers it when she is older. I know I'll never forget it.
