It is 7:30 pm we have a 6 am flight still packing and my son is going to hang out with his friends . Hope he makes the plane. I will try to post pictures I am bringing my iPad if I can figure it out. I do have tech support with me 23, 21, and 19 year old. We will be in the royal rooms

We are home as well

Highlights for me were:
My DD pulling the sword out of the stone.
BBB for DD.
Pirates League for DS.
Boma.
Cape May.
Jedi Training for DS.
Parasailing for DH & I.
Dessert Party.
Photopass Plus (loved it!)
Hoop De Doo (DS got picked to participate).
'Ohana's dinner & the Lapu Lapu.
Our AMAZING fireworks view from Bonnet Creek (can't beat watching Illuminations & Wishes everynight from your bedroom window or balcony).
Indiana Jones (I got picked to participate).
T-Rex.
Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure.

We had a great trip overall with low wait times (no longer than 20 minutes at anything... most of it we walked on using fastpasses or just utilizing the early hours).

Unfortunately our yorkie is still missing It makes me feel guilty for enjoying myself... I'm hoping she shows up soon.

Have fun to all those leaving soon!

Welcome home!! Sounds like your trip was amazing!!! I am so sorry about your dog though. I hope you find her soon.

This is the first time I've ever come home knowing we had another trip already booked - it definitely helped No Disney blues...

 

[jdd]

Really? We must have been lucky, the times were from DHS on Friday, MK on Saturday & EPCOT on Sunday.

We did every ride we wanted to do except Splash on Saturday. Buzz, Stitch, Peoplemover, Space (x2), IASM, Pan, Haunted Mansion, POTC & Jungle Cruise between rope drop & 2pm, then we headed back to the resort for the afternoon. We went back at 8pm after dinner (MK was open until 1am) & most things were about 30/40 minute waits. We only rode Carousel.

That sounds awesome! I have to say, we didn't tour like we usually do - didn't hit MK or Epcot until afternoon/evening, so we lost out on the benefit of rope drop. It was a very different trip since it was just DH and I - really wonderful, just different. We had fantastic meals and a lot of time just walking around the parks - I guess I just expected to have low crowds in May, and we didn't experience that.

Glad you had a great trip!

 

[KellyWasHere]

Wow - lucky you!! We were there last weekend and had terrible wait times. 70+ minutes for Soarin' with all fast passes gone by about 1pm. Splash and Space were both over an hour on Friday evening and Sunday afternoon. Saturday afternoon was extremely crowded in World Showcase - had a hard time battling our way through the crowds. We were in "recommended" parks too! Guess maybe because it was the weekend

We still had a wonderful time though - weather was fantastic (little hot mid-afternoon)

Are you talking about may 12 or 5? We were in Epcot Saturday, may 5 and it was packed! Mexico ride line was nearly out the door which I have NEVER seen. It was recommended park which is why we went. I couldn't figure out why it was so crowded until we started seeing all the cinco de mayo t-shirts! It was fun to be there on that day, we even ate at San angel inn (thank goodness we had reservations)!

As for wait times, I saw headliners (soarin, tsm) up to 80. But most rides were not even a 20 minute wait.
