Finally caught up after a week at WDW! We had a great time although it was much more crowded than I expected!
DS and I checked out the new lounge at PVD. It's pretty small but wasn't busy at all. The food was waaaayyy better than what we've experienced at the PP lounges we've been to. Unfortunately we got stuck in a ton of traffic on the way to the airport so we didn't get to spend much time in the lounge.
On our way back we went to the PP lounge at MCO. There was a waitlist when we got there, but we were called after about 20 minutes, and it was nearly empty at that point. We were pretty disappointed in the offerings this time around. Last time we were there they had packaged things like chips and granola bars in addition to the soups, etc. This time they didn't have any of that, so we just got some fruit for our kids since they have food allergies.
We did the EMM at Toy Story Land and it was a highlight of our trip. We were able to get it for nearly free since we put it on the Arrival + and then used points to erase the charge. We also upgraded our tickets to APs. We originally bought our tickets from UT and erased those charges, and then had to pay just over $400 to upgrade, which we did with discounted gcs. All in all, we ended up paying about $100 each of APs!!!
