Just got back late last night from amazing trip at WDW!! Depression slowly sinking in! We were really anxious and worried about the crowds. We did not wait more than 20 minutes for anything! Fast Pass is AWESOME!!
Got on Soarin' immediately and fast passed it too. FYI -- Third row is not as good as first or second, BEWARE!!
Mission: Space was walk-on at 12 PM on Sunday! Took advantage of that. Could not believe it though.
Rode Rockin Roller Coaster and ToT 3 times each in a matter of an hour Friday night (5/6). Walked on them Saturday morning and fast passed it also.
Magic Kingdom, as crowded as ever. Got there early yesterday (5/9). Knocked out Space Mtn., Teacups, Peter Pan, Snow White, Small World, Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain, Thunder Mountain and Pirates all by 1PM. Why don't people use the fast pass system?
People were on their best behavior. A LOT of school trips, but the kids were not bad. I question what people wear to the parks. Stilettos? no bras? Come on that cannot be comfortable!
I also think Disney should reimburse you for your next pedicure/podiatry appointment. My feet are KILLING me!
Took a lot of crap from people down there for being a Yankee fan. All I am going to say is 26 World Champions. Unless you are a Cardinals fan, don't talk!

Any questions please feel free to ask!

Can you share with us what Disney transportation was like, if you used it? I am dying to know if it is good and timely, otherwise I will rent for my trip on the 20th.

Thanks!

We stayed at the Dolphin. We walked to MGM and Epcot, never really used the boats. We were really lucky with the busses. When we came out, they were there. I heard other people complaining though that they were waiting a long time. I did not have one complaint about the busses.

Which hotel do you think is nicer, Swan or Dophin? Also did you use Disney's Magical Express? Was wondering how well it works.

I like the Dolphin much better! I think it is nicer! THe Dolphin Fountain restaurant was delicious for an ice cream after a day at the parks!

Since The Dolphin and Swan are not owned or operated by Disney, they do not participate in Disney's Magical Express. We used QuickSilver Tours and they were GREAT!

I saw the Magical Express employees though all throughout Orlando Airport. I heard not so great things about it. I am a little anxious about using them in September. Hopefully all the kinks will have worked out by then.
