Just got back and really enjoyed

[jillian01520]

Well we got back on Saturday but I've been waaayyy to sleepy to think!

I was actually surprised at how jam packed MK was! It was pretty bad, but overall a great trip.

The Magic Bands worked great, never had a problem with then at all.

FP were also great, I just wish you could chose to use then at multiple parks a day, but really it wasn't a big deal. We got out early every morning and hit a bunch of rides and then I had FP spread out through the day and at night so we could go back for the kids to nap.

Highlights:
Thunder Mountain at night during the fireworks - I truly felt the magic

Running into (literally) Brick from The Middle - they were shooting an episode there on Wednesday!!!

Dinner at Narcosee's - omg to die for!

Date Night on the Boardwalk - kids went to the Beach Club for a few hours.

It really was a trip of a lifetime. I wouldn't really call it a vacation because it certainly wasn't relaxing lol but totally with it!

Did you get to view the Magic Kingdom fireworks and Electrical Water Pageant from the waterfront veranda? If yes, was it a good view? Also, do you recommend the restaurant for kids?

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Glad you had a great time! We love Narcoossee's, too, and can't wait for our return in May! Thanks for the report!

Certainly sounds like you had a great time! We've never been on Thunder Mountain during the fireworks - interesting idea!! Really glad to hear something positive about the whole FP+ thing.

Big Thunder at the same time as fireworks is the BEST!!

Sounds like a wonderful trip! My husband and I are planning a date night on the boardwalk too... Any suggestions?

We didn't get to see the fireworks from there, though I wish we did, but that would have made dinner too late for us. As it was my 5 year old fell asleep while eating dinner there!

I thought it was fine for kids, and there were a bunch of kids there.
