:) We just returned from 6 day trip to WDW. First let me thank all of those who answered questions I had it was a big help. This was our first trip in 7 years and had a great time. Weather was perfect upper 60's to upper 70's and just one sprinkle. My wife and I swam everyday. My impressions:

CSR- We loved the hotel. We were in Casitas 5 near quite pool, health club and bus stop. Staff were attentive to our needs and everything was very clean.
Magical Express- We utilized this and it could not have gone smoother. We got in around 8:15 pm and was at the resort by 9:15 pm. Return also went well.

Buses- First time using the bus system and was very impressed. Most times it was less than a 10 minute wait and only once did we wait 20 minutes, Downtown Disney Bus. One thing is that if you listen to the message about Transportation on the phone at the resort it says a bus will take you to the Boardwalk from 5-midnight. A couple people were complaining that they waited over half an hour and no bus for the Boardwalk ever came by so you may want to confirm before you go.

Crowds- Could not have been better weekdays everything was just about a walk on except Soarin. Friday and Saturday I noticed that the parks were starting to get busy but still not horrible.

EMH- I know there were lots of questions about going to the parks that had the EMH. We did most of them and would say that anyone going this time of year should utilize them.

Epcot- Tuesday morning EMH was good, we rode Soarin twice then went over to Mission Space and rode that twice, neither my daughter or I had any problem. We rode everything in morning had lunch and left the park. Friday was the evening EMH and it was busier but still no long waits except Soarin, which at 11:30 was still 80 minutes. Let me say this about Soarin, nice ride we all enjoyed it but is over hyped and does not deserve the crowds it gets IMHO.

MGM- Tuesday evening EMH great. Park almost felt deserted by 9 rode Roller Coaster and TOT twice as well as other things open. Saturday morning EMH good until about 11 then park got busy.

Magic Kingdom- did not go to morning EMH on Thursday but instead went Wednesday based on advice from a worker and it was great. Never seen the Magic Kingdom crowds so light. Only used FP once.

Animal Kingdom- Wednesday evening EMH not much open but no lines either. Did what we wanted until 7 or so then went to RainForest Cafe for dinner. We got to park at 3:30 so we could do Kilimanjaro Safari.

Only problems we had were my wife's key card would not work at times to get into the parks and one time we all got a FP for Splash Mtn on Saturday and when we returned we noticed her's said invalid fast pass. I spoke to the CM at FP and he gave her another one.

Had no bearing on trip but we did have a very unDisney experience. The first night we got there we went for a late swim because it was so mild. I noticed 2 woman in the pool, later found out they were from Brazil. I went to the ladder to climb in and they both came over to get out so I waited and I noticed that were both topless. A couple of days later it is mid afternoon we are out at pool and I see them sunning themselves. One got in and took a quick dip then got out. That day was a cooler day and windy she must have been cold because she decides she has to change out of her suit while still at the pool. She covered herself with the towel they give but they are not that big. Let's just say all who were at the pool that day saw more of her than they could have expected. They left and a woman told her friends she was going to complain about them. Her friends were trying to convince her to let it go but she went into Health Club. I heard her say that they said they really could not do anything now but they would keep an eye open. Never saw them again. There were many people from Brazil and Argentina in the parks that week.
 
I am glad you had a good time on your vacation. I just got back from mine and mine was 9 days :) I think it's cool that yours was 6 days and mine 9 days, you turn 6 upside down you get 9 you turn 9 upside down and you get 6 he he that is so cool :)
 
Sounds fantastic ~ Thanx for sharing.
 

Thanks for your trip report. :)
I can't resist commenting on your last paragraph,I especially got a kick out of reading it.
I have a feeling this happens more often than not. :blush: (This coming from "Ms Modesty"). Some people tend to forget that Disney is meant to be "family oriented". Meaning to me "G" rated- not "G-string". ;)
