Hits and misses from our July 2013 trip (our 3rd trip to DLR):
Hits:
The carpet flying again in Aladin. On our first trip in Sept 2011 we were at the show where Jasmine and Aladin got stuck on the ceiling from their feet. I'll never forget that scream Jasmine let out, and seeing Aladin's hat fall off!
Mickey and the Magical Map. My kids loved it!
Dancing with Disney at stage 17. Really wish we hadn't left this until our last day. The character interaction was amazing!
Earl of Sandwich free birthday sandwich and Patima group $30 off gift certificate!
Doing the discover the magic tour for DD's 6th birthday.
Getting an unexpected room upgrade at DLH from standard to premium view!
The new royal hall princess meet and greet taking 10 minutes instead of the 2hr line up we encountered in the past.
Also, I LOVED the fastpass return window being enforced. It made the fastpass line actually go FAST!
Misses:
A lady screamed at me because I told her 3 year old son to stop hitting my daughter
and I encountered a lot of line jumpers ("budgers" as my kindergarten students would call them!)
The spinach dip from Rainforest Cafe made DH and myself sick
BTMRR being down.
DS being 41 inches tall during our trip, and therefore too short to ride the matterhorn.
There seemed to be a lot more ride breakdowns during our trip this summer compared to our 2 previous trips.
Surf's up breakfast was a big letdown for us. The service was awful and the CM wouldn't listen to me about my DD's food allergies and brought her a brownie that she know DD couldn't eat for her bday. She said "It's just for show, there's lots of other stuff she can eat." So, basically, it was "Happy Birthday, you can't eat this" to a 6 year old!
