Here now and it's been so much fun. Yesterday, Saturday, was super crowded at DCA, but we still did everything we wanted to do!! 2 hour wait for RSR (85 min quote) was a tough one, but still a blast. Wish I'd bought the LL, but that wouldn't have helped RSR. It went down when we were there earlier on a shorter wait.

DL wasn't bad at all on Friday. We did buy the LL but also found ourselves walking a LOT more with that - back and forth across the park for those opportunities.
The one thing I have noticed is this trip we've had so many wonderful encounters with cast members. Both characters and just regular CMs. I have been really impressed and delighted with every interaction. I am taking notes and will be mentioning them too. Way above and beyond magical times.
Another note - I'm super cheap, and try to save money as much as possible. I think buying the LL is worth it. I didn't want to, but the LL passes make the standby lanes for those attractions a much longer wait without them, so it's a double whammy if you don't buy them. The addition of the photo pass pics is a nice thing too. Just my $0.02.
Tomorrow is our last day at DL. Can't wait and it's been a magical visit.
