We just got back from a great 4-day trip. Some quick observations:
1. Crowds were really manageable. The last time we were there was during the Food and Wine Festival - not anywhere close to as crowded.
2. FP+ worked great for us - able to get additional FPs with no problems.
3. Magic Bands worked without a single glitch. It is really nice to not even have to carry a wallet to the parks. Awesome!
4. Rope drop is more crowded than it used to be, especially at MK. But we were still able to get a lot done in the morning. Our longest wait at any park was 15 minutes at Test Track.
5. We were on the QS dining plan. Best meals: Tangerine Cafe and WPE.
6. First time staying at OKW. Loved the resort and good bus service, but not a good fit with the QS dining plan - counter service is horrible and limited.
7. Also first time going to Typhoon Lagoon. We loved it - a great, relaxing day. Beautiful park - highly recommend.
8. Watched Electric Water Pageant and MK fireworks from the Grand Floridian one night. I thought the music for Wishes was piped in there, but it was not, at least on the night we went....
9. To us, MSEP is looking really dated, and it is time for a change. Ditto for Illuminations.
10. Personal note - every trip my family forces me to sit through IASW. A great horror movie could be made there. Please Disney - close it!
