We just got back this afternoon so I will make it quick.
Disney Dining - Too much food for us! We felt obligated to eat almost everything at dinner and practically had to roll ourselves out of the door!
We were never hungry so we had to use most of our snack credits on water and sodas the last day. Also, we felt that it took too much of our time sitting down each night at a table service.But... we did enjoy ordering anythng that we wanted.
Weather was good except for last Sunday... COLD and RAINY! We even had middle 80's and were able to go to Typhoon Lagoon.
Soaring- New Favorite!! I love when you fly over the orange grove and you actually smell oranges!
Mt. Everest- A little bit scarier than the mine train. Did it once. I get motion sickness if I do something over and over like that.
Restaurants:
Whispering Canyon- Great food! Kids were able to order milk shakes too.
O'Hanas- I only liked the shrimp. The steak was way too pink for the kids and me to eat. The atmosphere was great though! We were able to order non-al smoothies and drinks.
Sci-Fi- We loved it. The kids were thrilled to sit in a car and watch movies the whole time!
Coral Reef- Kids loved the fish but the food was so-so. I wouldn't do it again. The menu didn't offer much. But the lobster bisq. was yummy!
Le Cell.- Great! Food and service was exceptional. Kids were also able to order milkshakes here too. The moose dessert for the kids is adorable.
Donald's break- Fun and food was good.
Chef Mickeys- Food was good but the characters took forever coming around. Chip and Dale did come over to our table to kiss my DD when they brought out her cupcake. Her birthday was that day.
Boma's- It was okay. I guess I am a picky eater. THe peanut rice tastes just like peanut butter!
The dining plan is great but we found out that it wasn't for us. We could have gotten a lot more done at night. Plus, my DD 7 and my DS 11 wasted so much food. I bought so many snacks to bring into the park and didn't have to use the first one. Now I have enough snacks to last us a month.
The parks were very crowded this past week. I really didn't expect the crowds. There were a lot of Europeans and Canadians there. I guess it was some kind of holiday. There were a lot of people from LA there too. I couldn't make my DD 7 and my DS 11 happy. I finally decided to split the family up on a couple of days and everything was much better. It was sad when my DS11 wouldn't pose with any of the characters. He says he is too old.
Overall, Disney was pretty much clean. The bathrooms could have been a little more clean. The Buzz ride did break down two of the three times we tried to ride it. I guess the third time is the charm.
