They've been great. We hit Epcot on Wednesday. TT at RD, then again SR. MS green was a hit with the kids. SE, Soarn', lunch at Biergarten, then back to the resort for a rest. We went to DHS in the evening and rode GMR w/ FP. It rained hard for a little while and we hung out under some shelter until it let up to a sprinkle. Muppets was next and then a light dinner at Sci-Fi. Afterwards we headed over to F!. We loved it. DH and I were separated from our kids by a row and a few people so I didn't have to hear our youngest complain about the wait!
Though no headliners were available for last minute FP, the crowds were very manageable and our waits to be seated for ADRs were 10 min, or so.
Thursday we went to MK at RD. Hit SM, Buzz, Speedway, Pooh w/ FP, Barnstormer, Dumbo, 7dmt w/ FP, Pan w/ FP then grabbed a snack at Gaston's. It was a little steamy, and the kids were wearing down, so we took a nap at the resort and returned in the early evening. We rode Barnstormer, Dumbo, had dinner at CHH, and grabbed a spot in the old FP garden for HEA. We talked with a very nice couple before and after the show, which we all LOVED. Yes, I like it better than Wishes
Afterwards we FP Buzz, Pirates, Splash, then rode BTMRR with a 10 min standby to end the night. It sprinkled the entire time after HEA but didn't get you nearly as wet as Splash. DH sat between our youngest and myself and was SOAKED. Hilarious! The evening was nice and cool. MK closed at 11pm and I think we got back to our POR room at about 1am? DH and I had a couple of cocktails with the leftover popcorn. The kids passed out immediately.
Crowds have been much lighter than I though they'd be. The temps are ok for summer, nothing awful but we're avoiding the heat of the day.
Today was laundry for me and swimming for DH and the kids. We're going to Yeeha Bob's show this evening and I'm really looking forward to it. Tomorrow is another "rest" day and we're taking the monorail to visit/snack at the resorts to end at Trail's End for dinner.

Also liked being ignored by staff because we were standing. It had been raining for about an hour at that point, so I'm sure staying at the resort was on the agenda for several people. Still, looking at an unoccupied table, except for a hat and lanyard, for 30 minutes is a little disheartening. Lifeguards have more authority than restaurant managers.
