We just got back! I'll give a very quick report here, and try to do details on the report forum...
DLH was fantastic! Not one single complaint form us. We asked for a room with the fold out couch and two queens and a park view, our room was huge! We had views of the waterfalls, and the sound was so nice! We COULD see fireworks from our room, too!
Early entries to toontown and fantsyland were not so great. PACKED! But the kids had a blast. I think its less crowded after the morning rush.
We expected to see more characters in the park. Every single character autograph my kids got we had to stand in line at least 15 minutes, up to one hour. We'll NEVER do the autograph books again. Once is fun, but no more.
Club Buzz was horrible. I would avoid that place. Soaring over california was spectacular, as was the fireworks show. We went to two character breakfasts, and Lilo and Stitch was by far the best. Fun characters, good food, and we could order off the menu. Great pictures!!! The other one we did was chip and dale at the Storeybook. Nothing fantastic, but OK. The food was good. Kids LOVED Autopia and Buzz Astroblasters. Our shuttle driver from John Wayne to DL drove like a lunatic! But we survived!
The parks close kind of early on weekdays, so have to have late night plans elsewhere. Overall, a great trip! (But, stay far away from Club Buzz!) Oh! Also, the BEST meal we had was at Rainforest Cafe!! I heard lots of bad reports, but our party of 6 people all said AWESOME! I guess it depends on what you order and who is cooking that night. We were happy, happy! Im sure there are so many things Im forgetting to tell you!

for the littlest kids, they do a little hawaiian dance thing, and play follow the leader around the room... but my kids at 4 and 6 seemed to want to watch the tiny kids bob around with the characters. It was very cute though! They give you a lei and a cute button/pin as a souvenier. My 22 year old son, who rarely cracks a smile in public was tortured by Max!I got the best pictures!!! Really, memories to last a lifetime. Max pulled my sons sweatshirt hood down over his head, covered my sons eyes while he made kissy noises at my sons GF... and basically had everyone cracking up! I cant say enough good about this character breakfast! They had Lilo, Stitch, Max, Daisy Duck and Pluto. For 6 people I think it cost something like $65... a DEAL!!! (they even let the two little ones split a meal!) I'll post this in a seperate topic too, as I was so unsure of which breakfast to do before our trip!
