me too!!! 3 hours left!!!Today's the day but I have to get through this work day and make sure all my homework is finished... maybe the first semester of grad school wasn't the best time to plan this trip? Anyway, it's torture! I just want 5:00 to come!
Just back. Crowds were okay -- swelled to be uncomfortable in the middle of the day but then would taper off. Crazy on our first day in Epcot -- CMs even commented they were weekend sized crowds. While Epcot had one of our favorite rides (TT) of the trip, the kids were meh on the park. DD announced she didn't like Epcot, "it was educational." But here are some things we were glad we did:
* Universal: honestly we loved it as we are big Potterphiles and Simpsons fans. Hogsmeade was a little crowded for my taste but Diagon Alley was great. The express pass was brilliant and we had withdrawals moving to the FP system.
* Memento Mori lenticular pictures: hands down one of the kids' favorite souvenirs.
* MNSSHP: I know there has been comparisons to the past but as this was our first, I thought it was great. We had a good time and the fireworks were great.
* New rides: 7DMT was a ton of fun and I also like FEA. For FEA, we had a FP that worked beautifully so that was great but don't think I'd wait in a long line for it.
* Poly: it is showing signs of being well loved (the carpet on the stairs was oddly lumpy) but the location couldn't be beat and the pool was great. I loved the peacefulness of AKV and the buses were great but the pool there was a big meh. For kids who love to go to the pool every day, that was more of an issue.
* Magic bands: loved the convenience. Definitely beat USO on this one.
* BOG lunch
* Disney rewards card usage: great to get it at guest services and that paid for a lot
* V&A: so nice but probably won't do again unless we win the lottery
* Lilo's Playhouse: kids loved it and Chip and Dale stopped by
* MM: the ride pictures alone made this worthwhile
* Pirates League: Expensive but both kids loved it.
In terms of what I would change:
* forego park hoppers: we used the hopping feature one day only. Just not needed the way our family operates.
* fewer ADRs: we just didn't need that many sit-down meals and probably would've been fine with more QS/CS.
* forego the tours: while interesting to me, I was really the only one who enjoyed our tour
* Skipped most of DTD: loved WoD and the princess meet there but didn't need the rest
* F&W: I was super excited about this but honestly couldn't eat that much and it was very crowded
