Here now (10/1)...

[MissMet]

Hey guys. I'm here at WDW & thought I would report back & try to answer any questions you may have.

The weather has been great. Mid 80s, although Mon & Tues were HOT (lower 90s).

The love bugs are almost non existent.

TSM only had a 40 minute standby wait at 4pm on Tues.

The refurbishment walls are down on mainstreet, except for at that little out cove on the right by the bakery. They are still up on the back of the castle, as well as part of snow white's ride & on part of the christmas store over by the hall of presidents.

F&W has been awesome & not busy at all.

That's all I can think of. If you guys have any questions, I'll try & answer them. Also I have a more detailed live trip report. If you would like to join in, the link is in my sig.

I'll be joining you two tomorrow! So excited Forecast looks stinky, but I'm hoping that'll change.

I'll be there Sunday for a few days. The forecast looks different each place I look. So from past experience I always try to look at the local TV stations as they have been the most accurate. I've been looking at http://orlando.justweather.com/ and it doesn't look bad, just a little warm.

Here's the link I've been using since I've been here & it's been completely accurate. http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/tenday/USFL0610?from=36hr_topnav_business

That is a typical Fl forecast. That 10 day is how the 10 day has looked since Monday & we have yet to see any rain. It's been beautiful, sunny days without even a look of a chance of rain.

The weather has been great!

So that was it for F&W today. It was just too hot. We did those in less than 30 minutes & it was empty. The most I ever had in front of me was two people. All the other lines, I walked right up & ordered & it was only the 4th day of the festival! It did however get busy at about 12pm. So if you’re going, get there early.
