We had technical issues during the stage show during the Frozen fireworks too. We could not hear Anna at all. BUT, The fireworks were awesome.

Yes! Our glitches were during the Olaf part where they show the pictures from the park that day. All the screens and stage lights went totally black and the 'temporarily delayed' recording came on a few times. It was probably a 10 minute delay an d then the show just picked up after the Olaf part. We almost left due to the rain because it was torrential and I had seen them on YouTube, but I am so glad we stayed. There is something so magical about seeing it in person and singing along with everyone around you!!

So this trip has been amazing - began with an upgrade at AoA to a lion king suite! Then everything is just working out for us - the ADRs are great and all my DD wanted to do is have Pluto "lick" her face and guess what today we saw him at HS and he did! So much Pixie Dust!

That is so wonderful to hear! Enjoy!!!

It DOES go much too fast!! Especially when you think of all the planning involved!!

I cure the blues by always having at least one future trip in the planning stages at all times. (Because I have a VERY understanding hubby! Lol)

After a canceled flight, followed by a delayed one, we landed safely back home at 1am last night. Under 9 days with of laundry and very little sleep, I still find myself singing Dream Along with Mickey songs! Amazing stay at GF SL and already counting down for my fall trip - MNSSHP and MVMCP all in one trip! 99 days to go!

We'll be back for a quick trip in October for F&W

Has anyone ever had issues with Magical Express? This is our first time using it since we always drive.

First, my sister only joined us for a few days of the trip and flew in at 10:30 at night last Friday. They held them at the airport until almost midnight waiting for the bus to fill up and then took them to their resorts. She didn't get to BLT until after 1am! Even the guy we were speaking to at the front desk was complaining that they need to stop doing that with late flights.

Then, my mom and other sister flew back to Pittsburgh today and when they got to baggage claim there were about 5-8 other groups from Disney all waiting for their bags and they never came! Their flight landed a little after 5 and they said maybe the bags were put on the next flight and they could wait at the airport until 9:30 to see if they'd arrive or they could just deliver them to their houses but it might be a day or two or the middle of the night. Southwest is blaming ME and ME is blaming SW. What a mess!! So annoying! They just got a call from SW that they do have the bags and they'll deliver them overnight and leave them on the front porch and its pouring outside!

What a shame!! This was our first time using ME since we usually stay at the Dolphin. We experienced no problems whatsoever. Smooth going to and from and luggage was on our flight. We flew JetBlue. We also had a very early flight to Florida and a very late flight back to Newark. Wonder if your issues were dye to timing or Southwest? Sorry it was less than magical!

That was our running joke..with my sister who arrived late it was 'Magical Not Express' and for my mom and other sister it was 'Not Magical Express!' Ha!

We only have 3 more days! Ahh! It's getting so close! DD has been so excited she's been waking up the last two nights in the middle of the night thinking she missed a Disney. As many times as we have gone, this is as excited as I have ever seen her.

 

[think-like-tink]

So close now! I remember our day mark! NOTHING is more exciting than a WDW in a few days. I Hope you have a fab. time.
