Highs
All-Star Movies – Great resort, loved the theming, the pool area was great and there was always room to get a lounger even when quite busy.

Morning Extra Magic Hours – This was a godsend. I had read not to visit on EMH days as it would be so busy and yes it was but on all occasions we had done the majority of the rides we wanted with absolutely no wait at all.
On-site hotel – Being so close to the action meant we could do a park in the morning and return to the hotel for a break before going back in the evening.

The weather – Lovely (mostly), really warm, blue skies and that gorgeous feeling you get when you first step outside and realise it will be another beautiful day.

Photopass Photographers – We thought that there were a lot more this time and in better and different locations, with the pre-purchase CD it would be silly not to strike a pose at every available opportunity.

Captain’s Mai Tai’s – no explanation needed, however in case you are wondering…. Captain Morgan, Dark Rum, Amaretto, Pineapple Juice and Ice yum-yum:love: .

Grand Floridian Resort – A truly lovely place – start saving again soon.

Hot Chocolate – The refillable mugs at the hotel were great and ready made hot chocolate on tap was fantastic.

Premium Economy – we loved this service and it was well worth the money even if I didn’t sleep.

Lows
Well there weren’t many:thumbsup2 .

An unfortunate encounter with a cockroach – it was OK he was on his own and swiftly dispatched – no not to his maker – to the grass two floors below.

Almost driving on the wrong side of the road – luckily the bus coming the other way stopped us from entering – I’m sure I counted 10 fillings in the drivers mouth as he screamed in pure terror:scared1: .

Sharing a single room with a 13 yr-old – luckily we were out of the room for the majority of the time and we were all on our best behaviour. We loved the freedom of having a villa but to be honest I think I loved being on-site more.

Sore feet – enough said……

Going home – always a low point, but we have great memories and the photos to see us through to the next adventure.

Final thoughts
Theme parks, swimming pools, cloudless skies, warm weather, lovely company and too much more to mention made this a truly magical holiday:hug: .

I hope you have enjoyed reading as much as I have enjoyed remembering a fantastic vacation.
 

Loved reading your report. Glad you had a great holiday. Thanks for sharing.
 
I've really enjoyed reading your trip reports - sounds like you had a great time! :thumbsup2
 
We felt the same about sharing with our teenage daughter and now stay on site in our DVC villa.

Thanks for your great report. Enjoy your planning for your next trip.
