I'm just about on UK time again! Had a wonderful 2 weeks but didn't make enough notes for full report but would like to share some highlights and low points.
High Points (In no particular order)
Sharing Richard's illuminations cruise - fantastic!!
Whispering Canyon Cafe
1900 Park fare
Being Brave enough to go on BTMMRR for the first time
Sitting in Liberty Square after Spectromagic and seeing Tinkerbell and the fireworks
Disney customer service
Spectromagic
Seeing an armadillo
Low Points
Islands of adventure (too much loud background music plus my husband's very slight hearing loss lead to a day of arguments)
MGM backlot tram tour cancelled (in 1998 we saw this without any fire effects as lightening had hit the main gas supply to Florida so we were looking forward to seeing this properly)
Pizza planet being shut early evening (again last time no gas therefore no pizzas)
Our luggage getting soaked by storms at the airport (both directions - our cases have zips and therefore aren't waterproof)
Fantasmic breaking down 5 minutes before the end
Coming home
Tips
All Star safes will hold a smallish video camera plus 2 gameboys plus passports, tickets, travellers cheques and keys.
A neon boot will hold 2 softsided suitcases (30" ish) plus a holdall (a bit squished) and 4 backpacks (2 Virgin and 2 slighly bigger)
OutsideThe golden horseshoe salloon was a good place to watch the parades (we got there half an hour early)
I'm sure there's more I wanted to add but I'll post when I remember.

PS there was a letter in our room on arrival warning us to wear insect repellant in the evening. One night I didn't and got bitten just going to get a drink from the food court - no ill effects but I did wear the repellant after that.
