I had a fun quick trip from 11/5-11/9.
Unfortunately, I ended up going alone. Our dog has been having a lot of health issues this year, and SO had to stay home with him. I was going for the W&D Half Marathon, so I kinda still had to go. My parents were meeting us there for a couple days, though, so I wasn't alone the whole time.
I arrived on Thursday and met up with my parents at my hotel (POFQ) and took the riverboat over to DS. They were staying at Allstar Sports. We walked around DS for a while and had some dinner at Earl of Sandwich, then headed back to our hotels. I did a shakeout run around the running path at POFQ and POR, then turned in for an early night.
Friday, I hit the race expo in the morning while my parents headed to MK, then I met up with them a little after noon. We did some more MK things, then headed to a very early 3:30 dinner reservation at Tony's Town Square. After that we did some more walking around and rides, caught the parade and the castle show that I've forgotten the name of, the one where they project all the characters and stuff on the castle. That was new since we had gone in Dec 2014 and I really liked it! Then fireworks, and back to the hotels.
Saturday we hit Epcot in the morning and headed out around noon for a late lunch at Rainforest in DS, then back to our hotels to rest/nap before getting ready for the race that night. I ate some breakfast for dinner (oatmeal, bagel, pb) and caught the bus over to WWoS. My parents met me over there and were going to watch the start of the race then head back over to Epcot, but the whole race situation was a huge mess. Bad storms were coming in, the winds were kicking up, so they just headed over to Epcot right away because they didn't want to wait outside if it was going to rain. The race start was delayed by an hour (it was supposed to start at 10pm) due to the storms, and everyone had to evacuate into buildings in WWoS. Mass confusion. The race did get started at 11pm, but due to logistics and wanting to get everyone to the afterparty in Epcot, the race course was cut from 13.1 miles to 6.72. We had to skip running through AK and went directly from WWoS to Studios and then through Epcot. I stayed at the after party until about 3:30am, then stumbled out to the buses back to the resort and crashed until about 8.
Sunday my parents came over to POFQ after they checked out of their hotel, parked there, and then we took the riverboats back to DS for another lunch at Earl of Sandwich. My dad and I both love it there.
After we took the riverboats back to POFQ, they headed out to drive back home and I relaxed at the resort for a little bit before heading back out to the first night of
MVMCP by myself. I didn't think I was going to stay that late, but I ended up staying until 11:45pm! Saw all the parades and shows and rode the rides that I didn't get to on Friday, with the exception of the Seven Dwarves Mine Train.
The line was really long when I got there at 4pm because the park was still open to regular guests, so I was waiting until after 7 when it would just be MVMCP people, but then the train broke down and was broken down still every time I went back to check.
Monday I spent the day by myself in AK, headed back to POFQ around 3:30, in time to eat some dinner in the food court before catching the 5:30pm DME back to the airport for my 8:30pm flight home.
I was a little bummed I didn't get to see the Osborne Lights in full show mode, as I did not make it to Studios at all, although we did get to run through them at the race (no music or anything, just they were all lit like they are between the shows). They started on Friday, and we already had plans to be in MK that night (my parents didn't get park hoppers), then Saturday we were at the race, and Sunday I was at MVMCP. I didn't get to see Illuminations, either, but I've seen that enough that I didn't mind that too much.
I've only seen the Osborne Lights once (12/2014 trip).
I was worried b/c of everything I'd been reading, but I had tons of times to choose from for every restaurant. I even looked at places we weren't booking but that people said had been difficult to get, just to see what availability looked like, and nothing seemed unavailable except Raglan Rd. and H&V. That was at 6a.m. ; I went back on around 2:00 and changed a BOG time and still saw quite a few dinner times available for multiple nights 11/21-11/27. Then I added a Cali Grill around 5:00 last night and still saw BOG dinners, as well as some 1900 PF dinners which some have said they couldn't get. 
Never stayed at BC but we've eaten at Beaches & Cream and spent some time checking out SAB - looks so cool!
Especially if the entertainers are still out and the kids want to hang around and watch them. Whenever we end the night at Epcot, we walk slowly around WS after Illuminations. Everyone else is headed toward the busses in FW: it's nice to watch WS empty out, see everything being closed down, and all the while know you have a 5 minute walk back to your room 
I want to try WL and the Poly but I think DH would be happy if we never stayed anywhere else but BWV!
Then Monday rolled around and we headed to the MK. I wanted to cry.
After over an hour just to get my bag checked and get in the gates I knew that the tide had turned on this vacation. We did our fast passes that day and was out of that park. Wow! I knew the crowds were going to be big but I had no idea just how much. Even talking to some Cast Members, they gave the impression that it was very, very full.
