We're back 
We got home just before 1am this morning from an amazing 5 days. I will post a couple of lows but I don't really think of them as lows, we weren't going to let anything spoil our trip!
Highs
Dreams- simply amazing! I know it's been said many times but it took my breath away, we watched twice the second waiting almost 2 hours in the rain but the view made it worth it.
Lots of characters- Minnie and Pluto greeted us in the sequoia lodge when we checked in and we seemed to fall over characters even though we weren't looking for them as our older boys are at a funny age and not overly excited by them. I'll elaborate more in my TR
Low wait times- the only large wait times I saw were crush (obviously!) and BTM. All the rides we wanted were 5 mins.
Meeting Michael Buble!!!- we were queuing for a table in Annette's and in strolled Michael Buble behind me, I almost died on the spot! I didn't get a picture as I was in a state of shock an then didn't want to interrupt his meal but he said hello and it made my day
Our 8 month old- I know he will have no memories of the trip when he's older but he loved it. He is a character magnet- we had some amazing interaction, he got so excited when he saw a character. We watched the parade 3 times because he loved it
Magic on parade- I've read some negatives so went with an open mind but we loved it- perhaps not as much interaction or walking characters as the last one but still brilliant.
I'll leave the highs there but I could go on all day!
Lows
Weather- obviously nobody's fault bit we couldn't have picked a worse time to go, it rained almost every day and always at parade or dreams time but we put on a poncho and ignored it. It also helped as nobody could tell I was crying during dreams!
Annette's diner- we went in 2008 and loved it. I personally wouldn't have gone this trip but my DH insisted. The food took so long to come out they sent us a free round of drinks and when it did come it wasn't hot and my onion burger didn't really taste of anything.
But I let them off as I'd met Michael Buble in there and if we hadn't gone I wouldn't have met him!
Finding a human poo in Alice's curious labyrinth! There was no other explanation for it. Some people astound me! not Disney's fault but it was grim!
Not really a low but I wouldn't recommend good morning fantasy land breakfast at 9:45. It was a fight to get anything but at about 10am it quietened down but given the choice I wouldn't do it again.
All in all it was an amazing trip and I'm so sad to be home!
