1. Disney is a magical place that brings out the best in kids...My kids were terriffic on the trip...had a couple of moments but alot better than a average day at home.
2. Disney brings out the worst in some people. Some people are just rude. example at the Dec 7th christmas party we were sitting on main street for the parade about 10 minutes before the scheduled time this lady starts hollering at her kids and at every cast member that went by "when is this parade gonna start, yall need to hurry up"...just stupid stuff...I told my wife in a loud voice as this lady was right next to us "if some people would read there times guide they would know when the parade started...she looked at me and sat down and was quiet the rest of the parade....people cutting in line like crazy I finally had enuff after the 3rd time and showed myself....sorry I had been waiting in line for 30 minutes and these young girls just walked up and got right in front of me....
3. People do not watch out for kids....My 2 boys were always getting knocked around and then they would get looked at funny when the adult almost fell down....we did our best to keep our kids right with us but the zigging and the zagging....we only had this problem twice...Monday at Spectro and tues at the party.
4. Tuesday the 7th christmas party was jam packed. we did this again this year as last year was terriffic no crowds nothing but this year HoLY TOLEDO it was chaos....ride waits were 45 minutes or better till after the 2nd parade...We couldnt even get into the show in tomorrowland spent hour and a half sitting waitng on the parade...the 2nd parade that is....only good thing was the pictures even though the line was long only took about 20 minutes to get them done.
5. Crowds this year were bigger than last year. MK was busy Monday as was AK we went to both...Tues at MK was great till around 4 and the party was a mob, Thurs we went to MGM no too bad....20-30 minutes was the biggest standby wait...Fri IOA....perfect....toured the park 2 times no lines...Hulk was only 10 minutes all day....US we toured that 3 times in the same day no lines....only ones on jaws...Mummy got a 50 minute wait in the last hour of the park opening but we rode it 5 times that day....good ride....Epcot on Sat was a mob scene
6. Ohanas was not as good as publicized, Whispering Canyon was great, Sci fi was great, and Garden Grill was super great catfish, Crystal Palace took for ever for characters to get to table, Chef Mickeys good as usual, Mythos at IOA over rated, and my youngest sons favorite meal was at Akershus in Norway to my suprise, the Venison stew was great.
7. Candelight Processional was out of this world, we had a dinner package but still got in line 2 hours before our show times...we were 2nd in line and we sat in the 4th row center...perfect...any closer and my wife would not have been able to see Joshua Morrow who she loves more than me....I think....she says she loves me more but she has never screamed like that for me.....
8. Hoop Dee Doo was a very good show. Not what I was expecting but still very good. Food was very good....Drank my moneys worth on beer.
9. We stayed at the all star movies, Toy Story...the building was great but the Housekeeping was terrible, I had to call for towels 2 times, called for plastic cups 2 times finally gave up on those and were still never left any each day, We got in one day and the bed was twisted around and the remote was on the floor between the bedside table and the bed with the batteries everywhere...I called for them to fix it that night I sat up for 2 hours waiting no one ever showed had to call again the next night and they finally came up to fix. I was really upset with the all stars about this. We stayed at the Sports last year and had no problems...I still never said anything when I checked out maybe I should have...
all in all it was a great trip, My son went on his first upside down roller coaster at age 8 and loved it, my 4 year old loved Tower of Terror and Jurrassic Park and HM, My wife got to see Joshua Morrow I kept it from her till about a hour before our show started... and she got a 80 minute Massage at the GF spa, I got to see eeyore and eat some good food. My oldest cried when it was time to leave, My youngest woke up this morning and said what are we riding today...and My wife just told me we can go again next year...WOO HOO....Maybe she does love me more than Joshua or maybe she just hopes to see him again either way I get to plan and go back AGAIN....

There was a family (and there always is at least one) in Philharmagic that did not go to the end. The CM stood right at the end of their row and they still did not move. The CM told the people behind them to go ahead and step on them since they didn't listen. I would have done a little "Raindance" number on them myself.
