Just got back 6/20

[LoriAnn630]

2 adults, 7yr old and 2 yr old

8days, 7 nights All Stars

$1200.00
(not including room $460.00, flight 1000.00, towncar 120.00 and 6 day hopper tickets)

Ok here goes!

Our 2 year old cried the hole 2 hour and 15 minute flight!
On the way back we gave him sudafed, he slept. We tried giving him a bottle to suck on, tried rubbing his ears/neck, tried singing, rocking and walking him, nothing worked.

It rained so bad Monday night MK cancelled both parades and wishes.

I dropped the digital and had to buy disposable camaras...$60.00
and way less pictures.

The early entry days were too busy! We changed our itinerary.

Study your park maps if its your first time there!! Animal Kingdom barely had any shade Only Epcot had water mist stations and fountains for anyone who needed a quick splash.

If you stay at an All Star Resort, the bus stops are furthest away at every park. Plan on walking alot!!

The mosquitos were bitting by Splash Mtn.



Now the good stuff!

We arrived the last day of Starwars weekend. Our DS was picked for Jedi Acadamy! This was what he wanted to do the most! He looked very cool as he trained with the other Padawan Jedi! There were about 30 kids picked, and they even got to fight either Darth Vader or Darth Maul! And they got a free Starwars Action Figure!

Even with our 2 yr old we were able to do everything! The baby switch was awsome! The best was TL's Catchakidee Creek was a big thrill, lots to do but make sure to keep up with your little ones!

We saw all the parades, Wishes, Illuminations and Spectro!
You could see Wishes and Illuminations from almost everywhere.


Our dont miss attractions:

Wishes
Illuminations
Spectro
Rock-n-rollercoaster
Mission Space
Space Mtn.
Dinosaur
The 3d movies were really cool, they have that down! Mickey's Philharmagic is a bit loud...
TL wave pool
Star Tours
Pirates of Carribian

We also enjoyed Pooh, Peter Pan and The Haunted Mansion

We had PS for Crystal Palace. Our table had a view of the castle!!
The buffet was awsome! We got pictures with all the Pooh characters and autographs! $60.00

We also did Chef Mickey for breakfast. The food was very good. This saved us so much time standing in line to see characters in the HOT HOT sun! $50.00
GREAT DEALS!!

We did wait in line to see Tweedel Dee & Tweedel Dumb, Buzz, Woody and Jesse for 10 minutes!

The fastpasses made everything easier.

We spent the afternoon at the hotel pool and still got to do everything we wanted to do. Make sure to use sun screen or a good lotion.

We did an e-night. It was NOT crowded. We rode the rides over and over. This gave us more time in the other parks.

We had a great time!

Sounds like a mostly good trip. Of course, no vacation is perfect. It sounds like you were pretty flexible with any changes that needed to be made.

Thanks,
Melissa

Glad to see your report, especially about e-ride night. Will be there next week and I' m debating about whether to do 1 or 2 eride nights. It's tempting, since we're already planning to sleep in the following days.

Sounds pretty good, but no FANTASMIC?

The good info and tips.

Everyone kept saying Fantasmic would scare my 2 yr old. We bought him the light up Fantasmic Mickey, he loves it! I wish we would of seen it. Well be back. We had to much fun!


We went back to Mk 3 times to find long lines during the afternoon and early evening. Even during parades and Wishes.
E-night WAS WORTH it! It wasnt so hot, we rode to our hearts content. We left at 1am and there wasnt a long line for the bus.
There was long lines for ice cream and drinks.

We were spending almost as much for counter service as we did for PS. I wish we would of made a PS everyday around 4pm. We had breakfast in the room. I ups a box down. Then we could of had one big meal a day. Crystal Palace and Chef Mickey were excellent! Without PS we would of had to wait hours so we did counter service. The food was good at counter service but it added up quickly.

We went to The Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney. The restaurants atmosphere was awsome. The food very good. The kids chicken nuggents could of been better. They have moving animals inside around the tables. The kids loved it.
We almost didnt go to Downtown Disney. We are so glad we did! There are alot of photo ops!! The water parks close at 6pm. (to early) After we did TL we went back to our room showered and took off for Downtown Disney for dinner. We had to wait an hour to get our table. Dont go to hungry! This gave us time to walk around and see the sights.


We hope everyone has a great trip!
