Just Got Back!

[JSR]

Just got back late last night. Quick synopsis:

Hotel was great (HIFS)

Favourite rides and attractions were all operating well and Fast Pass worked nicely Except for Who Wants to
Be a Millionaire - Play It. We thought the time was for an hour, but the time on the pass says to come back in a 15 minute period before the show.

DD #1 (age 7) loved all the thrill rides and the corny jokes on the Jungle Safari. DD#2 (age 3) loved Dumbo but freaked out at the characters

Although Fast Pass is good - Universal Express is a bit better. It lets you hold passes for up to 3 attractions and
you can choose your time to return.

Chef Mickey's was a hoot! And the food was good to boot (even though poor DD#2 wasn't too happy for most of it - but by the end she was OK). inkbounc

Did both Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. I think the DD's preferred BB.

Got lots of pressed pennies as souvenirs.

Still humming "It's a small world"

(700+ sleeps to the next trip )

Welcome home, sounds like you had a great time. You did much the same as us, HIFS, Chef Mickeys, and BB. Now you get to plan another trip.

Me again. We also were looking for the ribbons, but could not see one. My kids love HIFS, and DH loves the privacy it offers. A co-worker was also there at the same time as us and stayed at HIFS on my advice and they also loved it. Wish I had spotted your family, we will just have to go back next year and try again.

Welcome home. Glad to hear that you had such a good trip. Only 700 sleeps to your next trip? You'd better hurry up and get planning!

Well...we're not sure about the 700 more sleeps. We had a good time but our 3 year old DD was
not up to hanging out with the characters. And JJ Bear at the HIFS really freaked her out. Both DD's did like the little train ride that it had around the hotel and the fellow driving the train seemed to really enjoy his job.

Hockeymom...maybe we saw you on the night we wandered in for the family bingo. There were a couple of other Canadian families that played that night too.
