Just back from our trip - review

[ISANOAH MOM]

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on our experience. Extra hours for the little ones was great! Lots of characters, walked right onto the rides. We've been before in September and agreed that we saw more characters this year than ever before at all of the parks. We were by the Star Tours gates in MGM during the character switch over (apparently this it the gate to the break area) and easily saw 15 at one time. Even though they were going on break, they stopped to say hi and play with our kids. Our kids saw so many that by the end of the week they were passing them up to go to the rides. My littlest easily wrote Barnstormers 3 times in a row without getting off. September just rocks!

We did get to go to MNSSHP and while it rained, they even had quite a few characters indoors if you went into the candy areas. I agree that they didn't give the adults much candy, but our kids loaded up and had full bags by the end of the night. We also noticed that there were not many CS and snack areas open. At 6:30 we noticed a few people wandering without arm bands, but by 7:00 I only saw orange armbands as far as the eye could see. Apparently, they didn't have too many problems getting everyone out of the park.

did you do the early am emh or evening? I have 2 and 4 yr olds, but it seems the early ones will not fit our plan for the week, which is disappointing b/c i hear so many good things about ealry emh, but not much about the evening emh

We had 2 - two year olds and 1- four year old. We did the mornings. Found out pretty fast that our group wasn't going to last until late in the evening even with naps.

What kind of character interaction did you see at the Littleones EMH? Were they doing autographs or was it really just the characters playing and riding rides?
