Had a fantastic time 
FLIGHTS -continental. lovely food, seats ok for economy and good entertainment system. Short delay going over meant we would have missed our connection, but Edinburgh staff had already moved us to later flight -no hassle.
HOTELS -Residence Inn Seaworld -lovely huge clean room again, nice included breakfast
POR -first time. loved it. Corner river view room, great ac, comfy beds. Had telephoned room request but arrived 9.30am, told room ready but was quite far out so asked for Oak Manor again and was changed no problem and room also ready. Good food court.
ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT -fantastic -room also ready at 9.30am.splashed out on club level but worth it with four 'adults'. Good continental breakfast and evening offerings served as a light meal for us on several nights. Boys drank gallons of 'free' cans of coke etc and I had endless lovely coffees and too many nibbles. As usual FOTL wonderful -no queuing in the heat. What's turn down service about? -nice closed curtains and little water bottles but also heaped cushion/pillows in middle of bed with no turning down at all ???
FREE DINING PLAN -Fantastic deal-had paid a little to upgrade to basicDP. OMG far too much food. Best meals Coral Reef and Prime Time. Usually went 'home' for lunch at POR, and took bottled drinks and delumptious cheesecake or carrot cake back to fridge -often was breakfast next morning. broke my heart to leave 4 unused table service meals! -we all just felt over stuffed -I think the heat does cut appetites quite a bit. Most Annoying Event -last night at Disney-11pm -6cs credits still to use. Nobody wanted full meal but needed drinks and maybe dessert -COULDN'T BE DONE! -was told to use cs I had to order full meal. tried to argue the point but seems the system is so inflexilble I would need to order 4 meals and put them straight in the bin in order to get the drink/dessert -I was fizzing but couldn't face wasting the food even though it would be disney's loss and not mine. Never mind, we managed to eat a huge mound of pancakes and syrup next morning instead.
PARKS -We did morning EMH which I thought were ok but certainly not quiet. Got plenty done though with careful fastpassing. Evening EMH were very busy and we soon changed our plans to non EMH parks. Always went 'home' for rest/snooze swim from 11.30 to 4ish to miss worst heat which was intense but not as hard to cope with as I feared. Usually picked up some fast passes and gave to another family on our way out at lunchtime -made my day when this happened to us last year! Wished I'd done my ADRs for a little later -most were around 5ish.
Sorry -much longer than intended. Thanks to all for all the invaluable advice gleaned from these boards. Off to wallow in the post-holiday blues! Happy to answer any questions.
PS. ESTA warning. Met a fellow Scot who told me she accidentally clicked 'been to jail' bit when filling in husbands ESTA form. She said he was 'declined' but then they realised error and re submitted form next day with no probs. BIG probs at immigration though when he was taken away for interview for a few hours!! So take care with the typing!

. Ridiculous about the 'full cs only' rule to get your dessert!
may have to try that out 
That sounds like a challenge?
