Bottom 9 in no particular order
1) Despite large extravagant interior rooms at the Fiji, the exterior corridors are noisy - the walls and ceilings are very thin. We had noisy neighbors above who went commando every morning at 7am. We also had a room by a motion sensor exterior sliding door that was super sensitive and very loud every morning. We were by the back exit and the doors are locked from 11pm-7am, after that watch out - its annoying.
Avoid rooms 1310 & 1311 at all costs; rooms 1301, 1320, and 1321 have the added bonus of being by an elevator - ouch! and unless you get a 50% discount on your room never stay in room 1322 - I don't see anyone ever staying more than a night in that room. (Comparable 2nd and 3rd floor rooms to avoid would be 2310, 2311, 23.... and 3310, 3311, 33..
2) About 50% of the Disney cms were rude and stuck-up as opposed to 0% at UNIV/IOA
3) Character interaction at chef Mickey & Donalds breakfast, super crowded, characters rushed by quickly
4) Water -taste like skunk, similar to Louisiana water if you've been there
5) Smoking at UNIV/IOA - can't imagine when its crowded
6) Cold evenings - it got kind of chilly, but it was November December, but I would have like to have swam more
7) MVMCP - a little overrated, fireworks were awesome, parade we didn't see probably was too, even the small blowing mini blizzard of flakes on main street were neat, but the park was just way too crowded.
8) Rides breaking down all the time, especially at Disney parks - whats the deal?
9) Food at LTT (except for rolls and apple desert) not even as good as a Luby's
Top 11 in no particular order
1) Illuminations - better than Wishes, but not MVMCP fireworks
2) Pooh ride - best themed ride at MK, actually all the rides in fantasyland we're really outstanding
3) Renovated room at Poly, widescreen TV was fantastic, a little tip that even the cm didn't know is that channel 96 plays Disney cartoons all day long and 98 has NOAA weather radio radar
4) Pop Century - best value, great location, well themed, awesome food court
5) Color and attention to detail in everything
6) Character interaction at LTT
7) Sweet Tomatoes restaurant - fresh non-fatty food
8) Flying unicorn at IOA, best starter coaster; mummy at UNIV - best ride at any park; UNIV/IOA were very good and since most attractions/pyrotechniques were a little newer it was quite refreshing
9) Boma & Ohana dinners - very unique recipes and seasonings, great food and atmosphere, unique
10) DME and resort check-in, don't leave home without it
11) Unofficial Guide (touringplans.com), disboards, allears.net, and mousesavers.com. Without you guys my trip would not even have taken place and my familys enjoyment would not have been possible - thanks!
See you in 4-7 years
