Just got back!! Any questions?

[Disneybabe]

Just got back 30 minutes ago. Had a great trip! The lines were short, it was hot and the dining plan was awesome!

What parks did you go to? What was your favorite single thing you did? What else did you enjoy?

We got back yesterday....probably saw you! Glad you had a great time!!

We were there for a full 7 days so we went to every park twice except AK once. The crowds were really managable. I loved Soarin' and Philharmagic. We finally got back to Fantasmic this year, hadn't done it the last couple times. Had a great guide (Derek) on the safari ride at AK. He really made our ride fun!
Maxaroni, I'm sure we crossed paths at some point. We stayed at Pop this trip, where were you? Did you have the dining plan? If so are you still filled like us?

Glad you had a good time. How were the EMH?

Welcome back to the real world! Did you need to use fasspass much? How crowded was SOARING and Test Track at Epcot?

 

[Disneybabe]

Dalton5,
Sorry can't help you on the EMH. We did the opposite parks. We were at MK and MGM the day after their EMH evening hours and it was great! We went to each park at opening and were able to do everything we wanted with little or no wait, head to the pool in the afternoon and back to the park at night.

KathylovesPooh,
We went to Soarin' at park opening and waited 20 minutes. It was a great ride! Then we went over to Test Track and grabbed fast passes and went on Mission Space with only a 10 minute wait. The standby line for Test Track was 20-30 minutes.

How much water do you carry around with you? Are you constantly thirsty in that heat? Do you keep buying water bottles?

 

[Disneybabe]

We had a case of water delivered to our hotel thanks to a tip from the budget board. I had a small soft sided cooler that I packed so we had cold water bottles in our room. We took a bottle with us every time we left for a park. Usually one in the morning and one at night. The first bottle went quickly since it was hot. We used one of our snack credits after that to get another cold water bottle. This seemed to work well for us.

I just got back last night as well!
The lines were very short. For the first two hours and last two hours of the day, even the headliners were walk on. Literally. I walked on Space Mnt., Splash Mnt., Big Thunder, Test Track (single rider line), Aerosmith, Tower of Terror, River Rapids, etc. Soarin was about 20 minutes, Living with the Land was 15 (spillover from Soarin I guess), and Killiminjaro Safari was about 15 minutes.

disneybabe....we were at POFQ I posted some quick thoughts on the dining plan on the restaurant board. It all worked out for us.

We carried around 32oz water btls and filled 1/2 with water and added some iced tea mix (w/splenda)as I can't drink plain water...blech. Anyway, the balance was filled with ice. We drank all 32 ozs by 2:00 or so...constant sips of a drink. We'd go back to the resort for a brief rest/cool off and refill our btls. If our water was too warm we'd ask for ice but usually wasn't necessary until 1:00 or so.

We didn't experience long waits at all. 20 mins max and that was very infrequant. Soarin' we'd do first think in the morning, get a FP and do a couple of other rides and back to Soarin'.

We had Matthew on the River Cruise and loved him.
