On Monday we returned home from a long weekend trip to POR. We had Good Friday off from work. We flew in late on Thursday night, returning home early Monday morning. We had just 3 full days at WDW because we are adopting kids from Colombia this year and are saving vacation time for that long trip.
Overall, as usual POR was wonderful!
The lines in Food Court were not too bad, considering it was Easter weekend. Only the pizza line was way too long, they don't have enough space or staff in that area. Also, I noticed that the pickup area for the make-your-own pasta is only a 5" wide shelf running front-to-back. As usual, they still play the annoying "down by the riverside" music occasionally, but at least I didn't see the staff parading around to it.
Yehaw Bob was great, as always. We ran across Spencer, our favorite bar waitress again. She is friendly, stinkin' cute, and has long dark hair... definitely say hello if you see her.
On Saturday morning we got up crazy early for a 7:15 am breakfast reservation at Crystal Palace. They let us in MK before it opened, and it was so nice to walk down Main Street with only a few CM's around to say Good Morning. We were the first to check-in at Crystal Palace, the first to be seated, and they gave us a nice certificate for the honor.
Buses were fine. We had to wait too long once, while returning from Epcot to POR.
We have stayed at most (maybe all?) of the Value and Moderate resorts, and POR is definitely our favorite. I'm way too cheap to pay for a Deluxe!
