Yeah!yeah!yeah! So glad you had a wonderful trip! Sorry you are feeling yucky! When you feel better let us know some of your fab things you did on you vacation.
One of our favorite events this trip was the
MNSSHP. We were a little worried because the night we went was sold out. But, we really didn't feel the crowds at all. We managed to get a ton done that night - so much more than I expected! The villain show was a big hit with our family.
Be Our Guest was great! We had lunch there twice (with Fastpasses) and dinner once. The lunch food was some of the best I've had on property. (Yes, Joe, those strawberry cupcakes are addictive! Wish I had thought to order a few extra to bring home!)
We tried Neverland Club for the first time and I highly recommend it! Don't forget to use the 15% coupon that comes in the coupon booklet -it helps.
Our Magicbands and FP+ worked pretty well. I changed our Fastpasses several times during the week without any trouble (aside from the slow system). It was weird, but nice, to not have to dash for Fastpasses first thing each morning. It took a lot of pressure off of rope drop. One word of caution... think twice before purchasing any of the accessories for your kids' Magicbands. My girls had lost all their charms by day two. I overheard two other families complaining of the same thing and all were told it was a known problem and to be sure to mention it in the post-vacation survey.
I tried Photopass+ for the first time this trip and really liked it. On our last day, we lost the lanyard, but they just scanned the rest of our photos on my Magicband and when I went out to look for my photos this morning, everything is there. (It helped that I took a photo of the Photopass+ card number with my regular camera and was able to enter the numbers in). Magicbands were comfortable... one of my kids is still wearing her magic band and I don't have the heart to tell her to take it off.
My DH preferred to loop his on his belt loop though. In fact, he just brought me his disassembled MB -he was very excited to show me the guts of the thing and how it works.
We never sat in a line longer than 20 minutes this whole trip. Usually, it was no wait at all. Between FP+ and low crowds, we had a really easy time! Epcot walkways are crowded with Food and Wine, but rides aren't busy.
Tried the VISA photo thing for the first time this trip, and that was a great bonus! Got some fabulous shots of the extended family.
The Enchanted Tales with Belle was fabulous! The whole family got parts and had fun hamming it up. If you get a chance to go here, be sure to take a part. We had a FP for that one. The Ariel rides queue line is amazing! We've been on that ride many time in California, but the queue here is nothing like the amazing, interactive parts of the one at DW. Almost wish we had to wait in line on that ride. Almost.
For us, a big change was that ALL of our DDs were happy to go on some of the faster roller coaster rides. We even got two of them on Rockin' Rollercoaster! (a favorite of mine and DH) They still love the teacups and Winnie the Pooh though, so we are in a perfect place.
The resort line of the monorail is down between 11am and 6pm every day for the next few weeks. This was a surprise to us. We found work-arounds (usually by boat), but it's something to be aware of if you are going soon.
Ok.. if I go on any more, this will be a full blown trip report.
Let me know if you have any questions for your trip though!!
But, before I do I just had to say cheers to everyone getting ready for their vacations! It's going to be fabulous!!
