We just got back from a five day trip to the World without the kids. While we only did Epcot and MK, most of the time I was in meetings, playing golf, eating Sushi at Kimonos (you know business stuff).
The Flower and Garden Festival was unbelivable. We had the opportunity to take the "Garden's of the World Tour" at Epcot, and it was a great tour during the festival.
The crowds did get pretty heavy around noon, but if you stick to a plan the parks were really quite easy to navigate. During the mornings, everything was walk-on (Mission Space, Soaring, Peter Pan, Snow White, Buzz, etc...) After lunch, fastpass took care of any wait.
The only downer of the whole trip was the flight home. I will never fly on a late afternoon flight out of Orlando again. The kids (a) didn't want to leave, (b) were exhausted or (c) had done the parks all morning and were tired and fussy. So you can imagine the crying, screaming and noise.
I'll try to get a full report out later, but for now, back to work.
