Just back - light crowds and great weather!

[princess pooh]

We just got back from WDW today and DH already wants to plan our next trip! I usually get stuck with lots of rain in February but the weather was wonderful this time. Everyday was warm and we only got about 10 minutes of rain . Most of the afternoons were sunny too.

I thought we'd be facing huge lines since DH isn't a morning person, but the crowds weren't bad at all. Our longest wait was 30 minutes for Soarin. Most of the waits were 5-10 minutes.

If anyone has any questions...ask away

Where did you stay? Did you do the Dining package?

I've never done the dining package. We tend to do more snacking then meal eating on vacation.

We started our trip with a savannah view room at AKL. We spent most of the time hanging out on our balcony watching the animals. It was so cool to come back from the parks and relax on the balcony. I tried Boma and Jiko for the first time and they were both excellent!

We switched to the Swan after a few days and I liked the location much better. We would walk to Epcot and MGM, and the bus transportation was great. I also liked that there were so many restaurants in the area. I missed sleeping on the heavenly bed last night

I wouldn't hesitate to stay at either resort again.

ok do share what days were you at the parks? I was there last week and it was INSANE busy.. Sorin was a two hour wait and most others were about 30 min.
I wish I had of waited a week. argh.. we had the dinning plan and loved it ... except the night were all the resturants were booked and we couldnt eat...

Glad to hear you had a good trip.

I have a co worker down there now (well actually today is her last day). I helped her plan her trip so it's nice to hear that it's not too crowded and the weather was good.

Yikes! Originally I was supposed to go the week before but I guess it was good that our plans changed. We were at MK on Feb. 24th, AK on the 25th, Epcot on the 26th, and MGM on the 28th. I used the "least crowded days" schedule fron another website to determine what parks to do on which days. I actually flipped out a bit at Epcot because the lines were all 60-75 minutes on the times board. Then I would get to the ride and there would be a 10 minute wait .

Glad you had a good time! Man, it's hard to be back, though, isn't it?? (Still adjusting and we've been back almost 3 weeks.)
