Just left today, after 8 nights

some highlights—TSL was wonderful! We are not early morning folks, but did use the evening EMH on Fridays—if you get in line during fireworks and when 2nd Fantasmic is going seems the lowest wait time for Slinky. The rest of the park is uncrowded and wonderful! Enjoy!

New Guardians concert in Epcot—if you are a Guardians fan, as my tween and teen are, do see it. My kids loved it.

We are huge Up fans and loved the Animal Kingdom show—nice addition.

We felt the crowds were lessened most in Epcot—a very uncrowded World Showcase and we all rode Frozen without a fast pass—wait only 20 mins this time! Bad thing is TT down frequently and then backed up for the rain.

Pandora still busy, so the FP there for sure!

Best thing this year from last, Disney appears to have listened to all the complaints and are keeping the parks open later again. We appreciate evening touring in July!!! Thank you Disney!

Bad experience with Ohana dinner, it took over 2 hours the night we ate there...causing us to miss out on evening EMH. Also, we booked vacation before the parking fee was adopted, and we still got charged—beware! I went to the front desk and got it credited back.

We just got back from 8 nights as well. Our first 5 night were at the poly. It was crazy. I think they have packed too many events into that one location. You could not enjoy the main areas at all. We stayed in Pago Pago and that area was very quiet.

We were at the Poly for the first have and did a split stay, ended at BC. I agree with you—the Poly pools were so crowded and so hot. The BC felt less congested and their pool was never crowded. The BC pool water was not cold, but at least it didn’t feel like a hot tub

Sounds like a great trip!

I am looking forward to the Up show!

Also, great resort choices for proximity. I am thinking BC for next trip (just have to get over the cost).

One tip, the Boardwalk is often less expensive than the BC or YC. When my husband and I go solo, we actually prefer this resort. However, my kids find clowns creepy, so the pool is a turn off for them. However, if you do an older kids or adult trip, I can't recommend the Boardwalk enough. Its got so many peaceful areas within the resort you truly feel you can relax and have quiet time. Plus the Boardwalk ice cream shop is perhaps among the best ice cream on property.
