....it was a wonderful trip, again! I grow so weary with all the bad CM, horrible experience, awful guests, and on and on threads that I want to make my happy thread.
We were at POFQ July 3-12 in a garden view room. Lucked out and got our requests in the exact location we wanted. Room was ready and was in very good condition and clean. We were on the QSDP but did do some OOP table service meals.
BTGs are out in force. However, I will say that WDW's addition of the Super Greeters have helped in toning the groups done a lot! We noticed that each time the groups began to get a little crazy, the Greeters shut it down quickly. Now, I will also say that this only happens when a Greeter is with them. When the groups split up, I still could see some of the old behaviors.
CMs: not a single grumpy, out of sorts CM the entire trip. Of course, I have rarely, rarely had a "bad" CM, so maybe I'm not the one to report about that.
Weather: a mixed bag of really hot and humid and pleasant. We're from Georgia, so we are used to it.
Other guests: just a couple of SCREAMING kids who would have benefited from swift action of their parents. It was obvious, through observation, that those few kids rule the roost in their homes. (And...no, not special needs kids just ridiculously spoiled. I'm a teacher; I know the difference.)
I'm sad to be home because now we have a year to wait to return. This will be so different for us because we usually go a few times a year. It will be a long wait.

Thanks for the positive post - like the other PPs - I've grown tired of the constant complaining about CMs, guest behavior, costs, etc. 
I know BEFORE I go what it will cost and there is always the possibility you'll run into folks who are short on Pixie Dust - BUT - WDW is still the most magical vacation I know of - and unless its a major life changing problem - I'm always happy to be there - 
Glad your trip was a good one
