IT WAS HOT! Brutal hot! Like summer in July hot!
AND I LOVED IT!!! Especially now that I've returned to actual freezing temperatures in Southwest Michigan. That's a 63 degree swing, folks.
I will try to post a thorough and complete trip report once this week calms down from all the catching up.
Magical Express: **** (Love it)
Beach Club Villas: **** (Probably won't stay anywhere else from now on)
Weather: *** (As previously stated above, hot, but since we had an abnormally cool summer, it was a nice extension)
Crowds: **** (Most all attractions were walk on, even if you had a minimal strategy. Most wait times were significantly less than what was posted. Example, TSM posted a 50 minute wait, actual time in line was 35 minutes.)
Food: **1/2 (We were on the dining plan, and although our sit down restaurants were above average, our quick services were way below, which brought down the overall scoring. Pecos Bill comes to mind. Blecch!)
Food and Wine Festival: ***1/2 (No deviant behavior observed. We love love love F&W. The only reason it didn't receive a 4 star rating was because it was somewhat hard to enjoy a cold beer with a heat index of 100+
)
Overall: ****+ (This was by far our most enjoyable Disney vacation! The kids are older, which means no strollers, and more ride experiences. Being so close to EPCOT surely made it that much more wonderful.)
To each and all that are going, enjoy a most magical time!
It was so worth it for our family!!!
