Just back from OKW

Had a studio on second floor overlooking the river in OKW. Rm 4526. Nice enough but right near a stop sign, and those Disney buses all have noisy brakes. Pool re-opened on our last day.
Magic Kingdom-saw Wishes and Spectro, very cool. COP Was open. Did Stitch for the first and maybe last time. Nuf said. Peter Pan had a 55 minute wait, but other than that we had hardly any waits at all. Did Philly twice, boy is that a good show. Got a great spot at Peco Bill's to eat and watch the parade upclose (without adults shoving their small children in front of you after you have been standing there for an hour) Wall is still up in front of castle. Only things closed were the Dumbo ride and It's a Small World.

MGM-did the extended hours one night and it was awesome. Saw everything we wanted to with almost no wait time. We had tried to get tickets online to the taping at Millonaire, but we never recieved any, so we were very surprised when we walked by and they waved us in for the last show of the day on Thursday. Good show, but they didn't let us know how LONG it was going to be. They basically trapped everyone inside for 2 hours because of some taping difficulties. Many people after an hour got up to leave (they had other plans I'm sure) and were yelled at that they couldn't leave. Some did anyway. It got kind of ugly. They wanted a full house but people were there to see the park, not spend all day at one attraction. If they had told people before seating them, I'm sure they would not have gone in, and someone else could have had their seat. We missed a PS because of it.

Sounds like you had a great time! We are thinking of going then next year, what dates were you there, and how was the overall crowd level? Sounds like it was pretty good??

We were there 1/9/01/15/05. The crowds were very manageable. Disney does know how to manage crowd control. There were alot of people, but the lines were not bad at all. I found that most rides or shows, even when you were waiting, you really didn't know it because of all the props or pre-shows that they provide. We had an excellent time and would recommend this time of the year, escpecially if you are from a cold, snowy region. It was a great vacation from the snow!!

That's awful that they wouldn't let you all out of Millionare. I would've left anyway too. Glad to hear that crowds weren't bad. Thanks for posting!
