We had the best time! We stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort (Jamaica) from 9/19/11 to 9/26/11. The room was very very clean! There was plenty of room for the four of us & I loved the privacy curtain that blocked the vanity area from the rest of the room. We loved the walks along the different named islands & the kids loved the Pirate Ship water play area! The food was good with good choices at the resort. Our favorite place that we ate was actually the Tusker House in AK. However, Akershus & the Coral Reef (both in Epcot) was out of this world! We had 7 magic day passes & we got through MK & EP with only missing 2 attractions. We kinda got rained out on our HS day, but we wore our ponchos & made the most of it. We missed some shows there & couldn't even get near the Toy Story Mania ride. The wait was always 50-130mins & no FastPasses available. This was the only part of the HS park that was crowded. Everywhere else in HS was a ghost town, so we enjoyed other attractions that day. We didn't get through AK like we hoped too, but we did get on the safari in only about 10mins! We went on the Kali-River Rapid ride which was too short, but very wet! That felt good since it was in the 90's with about 100% humidity everyday! I did not use any touring plans! I can't be on my vacation with a timed list & a clip board. We went from ride to ride without waiting too long. For the longer waits then we got a FP. No issues at all! We had the dining plan for free in our package & it was well worth it! I was able to book a table service everyday & 5 out of 7 table services had characters! Fun! We were able to visit other resorts that were too far out of our price range by booking a table service there. We had dinner at the Grand Floridian with Cinderella, Prince Charming, & the rest of the crew! Happily Ever After Dinner. So wonderful! We also did purchase the tickets for the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party & that was a great event! The kids got to meet Mickey & Minnie, see a fantastic parade, go trick or treating in the Magic Kingdom, & got on rides. Plus a big dance party w/characters! What a blast!!! From the moment that we arrived to the moment that we departed our trip was exciting & fun & completely MAGICAL!!! Planning to go back January or February of 2013.
