We just got in the door an hour ago. I haven't even opened up my suitcase because I had to get back to dis'ing!!
Our trip was absolutely magical. We encountered fantastic CM's who really helped our nephews experience Disney's renowned magic. We stayed at the All Star Movies Resort and were on the free dining plan. What a great time! We couldn't eat all of the food and ended up giving our desserts to people sitting nearby. We came home well stocked with Mickey rice krispie treats and cracker jacks! The plan allowed us to eat at signature restaurants such as Narcoossee's, California Grill, Jiko and we went to two dinner shows: Spirit of Aloha and Hoop Dee Doo. All were great in their own way. I'll do a dining review on the restaurant board and a full trip report on the report board. Stay tuned!
The weather was HOT! My mother (61) struggled with the heat, but the rest of us managed okay. We had early morning starts and rest by the pool in the afternoons followed by an evening show in one of the parks. As I mentioned above, the CM's were wonderful. I have a few specific fun stories to share in my detailed report. We did get rain everyday but 1. However, with the exception of one day, the rain didn't really bother us and was merely an hour in length or so. Of course, our rainy day was our day at Typhoon Lagoon!! But, even then, the CM's helped to entertain our boys.
We went to all 4 parks and had a blast. We never waited in line for more than 20 minutes for anything. We planned our day wisely and used fastpass where needed. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. *sigh* I can't believe it's over already!!!!!!
