WL was great as usual. We received complimentary upgrade from WoodsView to Courtyard without asking.
Parks were crowded, particularly MK. Despite that, we had no trouble getting fastpasses and wait times were not crazy(except MK). I am amazed that so many people still dont "get" FastPass.
"Wishes" was great.
We finally saw Philharmagic and it was very impressive. Sitting in the back of the theater does make a difference.
Heat was unbearable at times. The day we left, the heat index was 110.
ESPN weeked was OK but nothing special. We got to meet Marylou Retton and Bruce Jenner. Unrelated, we met Olympian Dot Richardson at DD(we are a Fastpitch Softball family and my girls were thrilled!).
Boma was outstanding as usual and HoB was a pleasant surprise.
We tried the new Water Mice and they are a bit faster - same motor, lighter hull.
Pet Peeve - why do people leave their leftovers, plates, trays, etc on the table and walk away when finished. Particularly irking is if there is a garbage receptacle right nearby. No common courtesy; the workers have a hard enough job.
Parks appeared to be kept up better as far as picking up of debris, etc.
Some really cute and inventive towel animal ideas everyday in our room- which was kept spotless I might add.
Roaring Forks needs to expand the menu a bit(as usual).
Travel to AKL and DD needs to be addressed - there is just no fast way to get there with WDW transportation.It took 1Hr15 minutes to get to Boma from WL. We tried alternate routes to DD using resort buses but travel to DD was always difficult.
That's all for now.
Any questions, I will try to answer.

Glad you had a good time at WL. We just got back 2 weeks ago too. I agree with you about Roaring Forks!!! We eat alot on the go and try to spend as much time in the parks as we can so we end up eating there alot. They upgraded our room too from standard to courtyard. Agree with you on the heat DD13 nearly had a heat stroke on the last day we were there. 
Did you do E-Ride night? We did it for the first time on Wed. and LOVED it!!! Oh well, time to start planning the next one, right???!!! 
See ya!!!
But 110 is a bit much, even for me......
