and despite the frigid temperatures we had a blast as usual. There were 19 of us: 4 families, 8 adults and 11 kids. We managed to stay together for the most part, if not at the same attractions, at least in the same park. Crowds were sizable for this time of year but we went against the EMH and had no problems riding our favorites multiple times (did EE 5x, woohoo!). Even got a same day dinner reservation at the Biergarten for our party of 19. Probably the worst crowds were at DHS on Thursday. This was not an EMH day but it was a day for Fantasmic. We were able to hit our favorites but streets were crowded and getting around was pretty annoying. Went to get seats for Fantasmic over an hour before the show and it was already standing room only. They ended up scheduling a second performance for 8:15 but still closed most of the park at 7:00. We were kinda pissed and just went home. It was cold and we'd seen it before. Anyway, the only advice I have from this trip is to get the Fantasmic dinner package or get seats a good two hours before show time, otherwise you may be shut out. They need to put this show back on a nightly schedule. If anyone has any questions about the trip, just let me know. I'd be happy to share more. Sad to be home but now I'm counting the days until my Disney cruise. Yippee!
