Just back too...

[myboysmom]

We had an awesome time! The All-Star Movies was just perfect for our family. Crowds larger than at Christmas, but we rolled with it. We even survived our long car ride.

Mission Space was awesome. DS was very lucky to have a little brother- he rode it 6 times in all. Wishes was great, as was Illuminations.

Thanks for all the tips and advice!

Glad to hear you had a good trip!! Thanks for the mini report!!

Where in the All Star movies did you stay? Any large groups staying there also? Any noise problems?

We were in the Woody building, looking right out at Buzz on the second floor. Needless to say my boys were excited. We did not have any large groups in our area, but I did notice some cheerleaders by the pool one day. The next door neighbors were a little loud once in a while (like at 2:00 am), but I think a family put teenagers in there by themselves.

It seemed like All-Star Sports had some of the large groups. We stopped by to check it out. My husband really wanted to see the football field. There we saw windows with names in them like Mr. So-and-So and Mr. Coach.

Our maid put the boys toys in the window each day. One day they were really disappointed when they weren't in the window. When we opened the door they were all having a grand time watching the Disney resort program!

We took everyones advice and came back each day to recharge. This was very much needed as we were there right at the Daylight Savings time change, we lost 2 hrs that Sunday!

We are missing the warm temps, as we came back to snowflurries. For those thinking of driving, it was fine. Just be prepared for Atlanta- and we thought Chicago was bad. Chicago is a cake walk compared to Atlanta.

We just came back too... and Atlanta was AWFUL, the semi-drivers through the mountains can be a bit crazy too , so be warned! We had a great time as well, despite the large crowds we hit everything we wanted to except SM and TT, and most things we hit twice...lol, we stayed at POR and didn't have any noise problems at all, of course we were so whooped and the end of every day, we could've had a train rolling through our room and still slept through it!!! the only thig I noticed there is the small pool isn't heated and it was VERY cold. But hey thats my only complaint about POR, and we will stay there again...we loved it!!! Glad you had a great trip as well! did you hit ice station cool at Epcot? It was great! if you didn't make sure you do next time around!

Hey, glad to hear you had a great time. I'm trying to get some information about the AS Sp. Were the CM's really loose with the refills at the food courts? I've heard that they don't really pay attention. The reason I ask is that I have a few mugs from a previous trip and I can't decide if I want to pack them for the trip. I know this can be a touchy subject but I still want to know.
No lectures please!!!


Thanks for the info.

Glad you all had a great time! I'm looking forward to our trip in June-- won't be long now!

In regards to the refill stations, it seemed to me that they were pretty easy going on them. No one minding the store so to speak. We got mugs there, but then also had a big mug from BB. DH refilled his BB mug with no questions. I felt better about that then seeing a family with their own sport bottles fill up, at least we had bought the mugs from Disney.

Although the crowds were huge (I have read others who just got back and said never again) we were able to see and do everything we wanted to. We did more shows, and really worked the fast pass and babyswap. I would go again at spring break, but only if our spring break wasn't at the same time as Easter. We live in WI and here it is a big no-no to tie your school off time with Holidays, so we are always the first week of April. I think many schools still tie their break in with Easter.
