I kept telling my family there is Magic in Disney, and was SO HAPPY when we got to experience some of it ourselves! After a few days the believed in Disney Magic too!
First of all I left it up to fate, on the room location at POP, and was quite satisfied with the location of the room!
Then while in MGM we were chosed to be the family of the day! We got to sign an autograph book, get a certificate, and a free 5X7! We LOVED that!
While we were waiting to go on Aerosmith doing the baby swap my son (2) was looking at his pins, and a CM working the fastpass at the ride was talking to him, he was telling her about his pins while I was putting locking backs on them. I mentioned he had already lost one, and that's why I was putting the backs on. She asked him what kind it was, and went off (it was a Mickey) while she was walking away he yelled to her showing her his BUZZ pin (he LOVES BUZZ). The CM came back with 2 brand new on the card pins MICKEY, and BUZZ! I couldn't believe it! My son was so HAPPY! I couldn't thank her enough!
I also gave out as much MAGIC as I could! I told everyone with a birthday hat or badge Happy Birthday (I must have seemed a NUT!) I gave up my seat on the bus on EMH night for a little girl who was whining! I also bought dinner for a guy on our last night (free dining). I figured I should have good Karma!
Then it started to go BAD! The service at Le Cellieur was TERRIBLE! We ended up getting our dessert to go.
At Sci Fi Diner we used our dining plan, but bought the glow in the dark cubes for the 3 kids seperate, and paid for 1 of the kids meals (DS 2 wasn't on the plan) and the waitress automatically added on an 18% tip onto the bill. It was so dark I didn't notice it, but I did see a card she had put in stating tip wasn't included, so I left her $5 for a $28 bill. When I got back to the resort I saw that she had also included the 18% tip, making it like a $10 tip for a $23 meal! I tried to just blow it off, but the more I thought about it I just got upset. I figured this is my vacation FORGET IT, but in the end I went to the Concierge, and they gave me a refund of the 18% she added on. I was reading, and it says for parties of 8 or more they add and 18% tip, we DID NOT have 8 people. I figure she didn't think she would get a tip on the cash portion because we were using the Dining plan for the rest so she added on the tip to make sure she got a tip for the cash portion also.
When we went to Nine Dragons the server was VERY RUDE! He was upset because my son had a Mickey Bar all over his shirt (you know how fast they melt) and he thought it was soy sauce. He started getting after my DS who is 2, and then at me. I politely explained to him it was chocolate, but he just gave me a dirty look, and moved the soy sauce away. We ordered cokes, and he brought diet. He was rude, and insisted it was regular, but it wasn't. I finally just said can you please bring us new drinks, which he did. After we were done eating he says YOU DONE! I said could we have dessert please? FINE! I said do you have a menu we could look at? He said you can have cheesecake. I asked what kind of cheesecake, and he said cheesecake. I asked if there was anything else, he said NO! So I asked what my DD could get for desert, and he said redbean icecream, I asked if there was anything else. NO! Meanwhile I saw MANY other tables with wonderful looking deserts, so I guess my point is
And finally I fell on the paint at MGM (it's VERY SLIPPERY when it rains), and broke my knee cap.
ALL in all it was a WONDERFUL vacation! We enjoyed the waterparks, and our trips to Cocoa Beach, and Clearwater almost as much as the parks. We were there for 12 days, and about the last 5 the lines were getting terrible! So were were glad for the break. I was thinking I was moused out by the time we left, but now that we are home I CAN"T WAIT TO GO AGAIN LOL!

). Back when they had the Food 'n Fun program, some of the waiters would be really rude and obnoxious because they knew they got their 15% tip, no matter what. It seems, from some of the posts, that the same thing happens to folks on the Dining Plan.
