So here I am in my hotel room at Polynesian, sick with a fever on my last day. Oh well.
So we loved the hotel, no problems, but we found we just enjoy the Epcot resort area better, so we will return there next time. Not enough food options here to compare to just being able to walk into Epcot to grab something.
Crowds- I give in, it is a bit more crowded than our last few October trips. That said, it was still totally manageable. Our Animal Kingdom first day - we did standby for Dinosaur and it said 40 minutes, but we only waited 15.
We went to MK on a Wednesday non-party night and honestly, only felt the crowds to be overwhelming as we were trying to leave after the fireworks.
Went to party on 10/26 and while some reported high crowds, I can honestly say we thought it was amazing! No lines for candy or rides and we got a great spot for first parade on Main Street. Great time!
Food/Wine really cleared out and was beautiful starting this Monday 10/30.
DHS - um, not our favorite
At MK - noticed only one coaster running on Thunder Mountain and even though there were crowds, one boat full, one boat empty on Pirates and Small World.
Found fast pass to not be so fast anymore. Had about 15 minute waits on most rides, longer on others and 40 minutes on TOT!!!
Weather - boy, did not like it. I was so cold our first night, second day had a jacket on with shorts most of day. Finally warmed up a bit Friday, rained Saturday and then was too cold for our tastes until yesterday/today. It did put a damper on the trip as we love pool days.
We traveled alone first few days (great!) and then family showed up. It can be hard, and the vibe shifted a bit. I don't know how to explain it, but I lost my vacation vibes and they just never came back. I think we just aren't used to each other.
Then yesterday Micky got so sick with sore throat and fever and today we both have it.
Overall, I can honestly say I can't wait to go home tomorrow. Like I woke up this morning thinking "my god, I'm still here." Never felt that before. But that's not to say we didn't have some great times, we certainly did!!! Circumstances beyond Disney's control were working against this trip.
But I will try again!!! 2020/21. And back to Yacht Club - trying early May this time.
thanks all and happy trips!
