Welcome home, congrats on your DVC. 
Hi, not sure when I will get time to do a trippy as back at uni shortly and got a massive reading list to get through, so thought I would do a quick summary.
Flights with VA went without problems, no delays and good service.
We all really liked All Stars Music, I was very surprised by how good the resort was and it was fantastic value for £500. I have read a lot of negative reviews about All Stars buses however they were fine, we only had to share a bus with the other two resorts during quiet times which was not a problem. We spent a day at the pool which was great fun, they have lots of activities during the afternoon and evening. We will maybe spend a few days at a value in the future as DD loved it.
We also enjoyed not being on the DDP this year, it was great just eating when we wanted and not having to get to an ADR, Tangerine Cafe at Epcot was our favourite CS meal we also loved the pizza at Wolfgang puck express.
It was our first time at Universal studios ,IOA and sea world this year and we used the mears shuttle transportation which worked really well and saved money on taxis. We really liked universal studios, favourite rides were Jimmy Neutron and Simpson's. Did not see much of IOA however we got a good soaking on Pop eyes water rafts and Jurassic Park.
I was not as keen on Sea world, Kraken and Journey to Atlantis was good however I found most of it quite boning and the shows were cheesier than anything at Disney, we all loved the Clyde and Sea-more show though. I may go back as my DD liked it.
MNSSHP was a great night, mainly as we got to do loads of rides with no queues and without the heat. The parade was fab however preferred the regular wishes however it was nice to watch fireworks without being should to shoulder with people. We got a ton of sweets to which we had great fun tasting, most of DD's got spat out into the bin!
This year was very different than last year, more relaxed, only spent 3-4 hours in the parks each day and managed to get lots done, spent most afternoons at the pool. I am really excited about DVC, I had researched it before we left and felt that I wanted to buy while DD was young and we can enjoy lots of trips together and then she can use it to take her own family to Disney in the future too. We got enough points for two weeks in September in a savanna view studio every year so lots more Disney holidays to plan. DD wants to stay at saratoga springs next year (or Lava Springs as she calls it, from HSM2,
it has a golf course and rock pool!!)

Welcome home Claire Glad to hear you had a great trip.. We loved WPE express (one of the best CS places IMO) and I agree on SW.. We probably won't return until we have kids (though the penguin encounter does tempt me!) The AKV look lovely, I think if I was ever considering DVC it would be for there.
