Just back from our 5 days in DL! DH had a convention, and we were able to tag along and do it up in DL. It was wonderful to take it slow and just enjoy it!
We stayed at the Embassy Suites South, and enjoyed our stay. I can see why some would suggest to stay within walking distance because the ART shuttle took a good deal of time, but we were there mostly for the convention. Luckily we had 5 days, so we didn't feel the time pressure as much, but to walk to the resort would be ideal. We tried the walk back, and although it was pleasant, it was too far!
We had lunch at Ariels' Grotto, and the food was good. We had the only bad server in the place. Every other server we could see was pleasant, except ours and we were mostly ignored. Ah well, the character interaction was great. I voiced my complaint on the way out because we were just about last to leave (and first to be seated), but left it at that.
The highlight was our Goofys' Kitchen dinner. Our DS(3) absolutely loved this experience. (We also had excellent service!)
The lines were mostly non-existant in the parks, the longest wait we had was for the Storybook boat, and that was about a half hour.
We had an awesome time. Thanks to all of the folks here at the DIS, we knew what to expect!

The ART shuttle driver was on break from 1-2 (or so) and we were at the shuttle stop at 1:20 when another driver reminded me. (oops forgot and got behind on nap time) So, I wandered over to the cabs and there was a wait for the cab, so we kept walking. It was a gorgeous day, and we just kept going. We stopped at Carl Jr.s' for a drink on the way, and when we were walking up to the hotel the ART shuttle pulled in. We were tired, but not dragging our bodies...so it turned out okay. I wouldn't want to do that often though! It would have been better for me if I had him in a stroller.
