Just got back yesterday from 9 days 8nites in disney. I forgot how hectic it is to run around. We stayed @ Hawthorn Suites in LBV and the hotel was awesome.
Not one complaint! The location was convenient, too.

We ate at a lot of disney restaurants including: Sci Fi, Boma, Ohana, Liberty Tree, Crystal Palace and Plaza Restaurant. I guess i'll post reviews on the dis rest post section.

We went to MNSSHP on Thursday eve and it was PACKED!!!! I was surprised because i thought they sold limited tickets - there were more people there than a regular saturday!!

I saw WIshes and believe it or not, the Pirates of Carib. ride 7' drop made my stomach drop very badly! I only rode once. Dunno why my stomach got so sensitive, but i was screaming!

I got a very burning, sore throat at 3am and we flew out at 7am. Thank God I brought antibiotics with me - I got so much worse when we arrived in orlando at 940am. I got better a couple days later, the medicine worked wonders.

The plane ride there - i don't know if u remember my post about being scared to fly = but i wasn't nervous i guess bec. i was sick and it was so EARLY, plane took off at 7am and i was on jet blue, i haven't flown in 6 years and was AMAZED
at how fast the plane gets off the ground and into the clouds in just a few seconds. Kind of weird experience, a little scary too. The plane ride home, i was very scared because i kept thinking - here i am in a tube 37k feet up! Swore i would never fly again (while up in the air) when we landed i was ok and wanted to plan the next trip........

We actually ended up taking midday breaks simply bec. i was so tired by 2pm (sick too) and liked to go to hotel and get ready for dinner. once we even went in the hotel pool and that was fun.

I didn't like EPCOT too much. Kind of boring.... TOured the countries.... went on maelstrom (was scared) - blue people started doing gymnastics - we tried coke's drinks from china and other countries - watermelon was the best tasting..... that was neat. (innovations area, in the igloo - station cool- try it)

The crowds weren't that bad. We did universal from 9am - 12:30 pm. Went to HHN - chainsaw people run after you but i didn't even flinch (surprisingly) and they left me alone, plus i was videotaping them. The funhouses were freaky.

A lot of people don't correct their children when they sneeze or cough without covering their mouths and that was pretty irritating and gross. I guess they think it's ok. :faint:

We tried Dole Whips - they were awesome. The pineapple flavor is perfect, it's very mellow, not sweet sweet.

If anyone has any questions, i'd love to answer them!
 
I'm glad you had a great time and that it was all you dreamed of. Sorry you started off sick, but glad you got better. Smart thinking bringing the anitbiotics. Post a detailed trip report on the trip report board if you can.
 
Glad to hear you enjoyed Hawthorn Suites LBV and it was good for all your needs! I always enjoyed that hotel, too! :) :) :)
