The trip was wonderful. We flew in and used Magical Express. We found it to be a wonderful addition and hassle free!!

We stayed at All Star Music. We enjoyed everything except our room being the very last one way in the back...long walk!! The bus transportation seemed to be as it always is. I didn't notice it taking any longer I really think it is just how you "hit" it.

It was hot and moderately crowded although the lines I didn't think were as bad as I thought they may be. Really the longest line we waited in was 30 minutes.

The line for EE was 40 minutes, but I rode in the single rider line and it took about 15-20 minues. Incredible ride...a must do !!!!! We rode Pirates during the Extra Evening hours and it was quite crowded but still only waited about 20 minutes. I really enjoyed the additions to this ride...The first look at Jack Sparrow I could have sworn it was a real person.

My son's favorite is Buzz Lightyear and we rode this several times. My strategy was getting a Fast Pass and then standing the line and riding again.

We did the dining plan for the first time and were very impressed with it!! The only down side is that we went during free dining and if you didn't make ressies it was tough, saw lots of folks turned away and not happy. I was able to change a few while there but the times you must be flexible on.

I really tried hard this trip to not be so caught up in making sure we did everything the way it was scheduled. It was nice to have an idea of how we wanted to do our tirp and of course we had ADRs to keep but I allowed myself to not hyperventilate if we were tired and wanted to change plans....and guess what...it didn't kill me or our vacation after all. We came home not as tired as past trips and avoided a lot of potential melt downs.

I saw so many unhappy, overloaded and extremely tired children. I also was amazed at some of the behavior I saw from Parents towards their children but I'm not going there....just remember you are there to have a good time with your family..if you miss a bus you miss a bus...there will be another one.....

Hope you all have magical trips and let me know anything else you might have a question about!!

this is my big worry, as I can handle crowds (we went during spring break)
We are leaving this Sunday.

We want to spend all day in the park, and take breaks in the AC for our sit down meals and a little bit of shopping and shows.
Do you think we will be OK staying all day if we bring misty fans???
We always love making the most of our day at the park, and our DD is 10 & loves it too. This is our 1st time going in the summer.

Thank you!!!!

Glad that you had a good time. We leave Monday and are so excited. All the ADR's have been met and I have a "game plan" for each day which always helps us out.

Just curious as to what characters you saw. A while ago disers were saying that Clarice was out in MGM and Clarabelle Cow in Toontown. We have never seen them so wondering if they are still out. Also I wanted so bad to see Chicken Little last year and did not. Did you see him at MGM?

Thanks.
