I loved this post, sydprincess! So much fun!

I didn't know what Pirates League was until I read this. What a great idea! A nice counterpart to the BBB experience. So cool that you have 3 girls that wanted to do that. It reminds me of a time my girly-girl was invited to a boy's Pirate party. She was NOT looking forward to it because of the theme. It turned out to be the best birthday party she ever went to! She still has the bandana and even wears it sometimes.

And you got to see Winter! We loved Dolphin Tale so much. To those people who haven't seen that movie, I highly recommend it, but have your tissues handy. For me, it was a tearjerker with a happy ending.

I was wondering about that balloon ride in DTD. No way DD would have done that, but I can envision myself floating over the happiest place on earth. Gives me something to daydream about tonight when I go to work to "fill my wallet for Mickey".

The parks were very clean, the CM's nice and helpful, and most importantly, the other guests were kind and friendly. So many lovely families there were having a great time, and all were polite despite the massive crowds. We had nice conversations with quite a few families and were always interested to discuss how many times they had been, where they were staying, etc.

Welcome Back! We were there around the same time as you - and we felt the exact same way! We talked to so many families and everyone seemed to be having a blast (I know we were!).

A positive, upbeat report - how refreshing!!!

Glad you had a wonderful stay! My DD's want to do Pirates League this time as well they have done BBB and they would rather be pirates than princesses.

You (and they!) will not be disappointed. My DD3 did BBB this time as well (her first) but the older two made me cancel their reservations. LOL. In the end, they were glad they did just the Pirate League makeover.

I hope your kids have a blast!!

The girls loved it so much that they thanked us over and over for taking them. It was a new experience for them, so they weren't sure what to expect, but walked out as HUGE fans!

Seeing Winter was such an incredibly neat experience. She swam right in front of our family and stayed put for quite a while. We also got some great pictures by the outdoor pool from the movie AND got to touch the sock that goes around her tail! The kids were in awe

The balloon ride was not scary at all. I am not good with heights but I truly enjoyed it. The pilot was fantastic- told us what to expect, when we'd feel a bump, why we were moving a certain way. He puts any fears to rest. The view allowed us to see all the way to downtown Orlando, but the best part was seeing just how massive the Disney property is. It took my breath away!!!

Oooohh, now i really want to add Characters in Flight to our DD day, and just surprise everyone with it! Last trip DD's had a few meltdowns while picking out princess dresses ( yes that was us!!) at DD, and we had to cut the day short.

Will try it this time for sure (barring any fashion meltdowns of course!)
