Returned late last night from an almost perfect visit to Mickey's world. Yes, we had fog, rain and at times thunderstorms . . . but we had minimal crowds, no waits for any ride over 10 minutes and truly, truly felt relaxed and not pushed to run from ride to ride. Each night after playing carnival games at Boardwalk my ds(11) and I strolled 'home' without seeing another person!! It was as if we owned the park. It was truly magical.

We had a lake view room by the wedding gazebo. 6 brown hares lived in the rose garden and entertained us nightly! A wedding took place in the gazebo on Friday complete with horse drawn carriage and footmen wearing wigs!!! The couple appeared to have no family but as soon as I heard the violin I went quietly out to our balcony to see many other guests doing just the same thing. Once they were pronounced man and wife we secret onlookers burst into applause. The happy couple just looked around at all of us beaming!

If anyone has questions about the parks, etc. I'll be delighted to share.

Hi, what was your room #. Did you have a view of the marina and could you see the epcot fireworks. We are going in May, and I wasn't sure if I should request a certain room.

Thanks

What did your son like? Did he enjoy the characters?

MER & pnelson:

We were in room 2135. It was the first time we have not stayed concierge. We loved being able to walk the steps up to our room and not wait for elevators. We had a view of the marina, lake and of course Boardwalk. We would hear the fireworks but could not see them. We also had an awning over our deck which was really, really nice when the windy rain came - I could still sit out there with a glass of wine and talk to my son while he snapped photos of the rabbits. When we stayed concierge in May we were in 5177 and were directly centered above the main doors leading out to the dock - we could see fireworks from there. During this trip we either went to Illuminations or watched from the dock.

My son is "too old" for characters now although he did enjoy the animal ones at AK - even posed for a few pics to please me. He loved DisneyQuest, buying oysters with pearls at Japan, Tarzan Rocks and absolutely everything at AK, Buzz Lightyear, Splash Mtn. and Indiana Jones. He was also thrilled with the Silver dining plan again - he is 70 lbs soaking wet but can eat like a truck driver - his favorite restaurant this time was Flying Fish where we had 2 dinnners. He also loves Coral Reef, Yachtsman Steakhouse, Italy and now a new favorite: Fulton's Crab House!!

We both loved the Magic Masters shop & show.
