We got back late Friday night, and I am ready to go back...... by myself, LOL.
This trip was a little different for us, I promised I would not go commando, and we didn't. But we did make RD everyday which was our saving grace. The crowd grew on Tuesday and it was very crowded by Wednesday afternoon. But we had ridden everything we wanted to by 11:00. We missed the evening shows because the kids wanted to watch movies or swim, which I
let them do.
We loved FP+ and only had problems changing once, the day we decided to switch parks. I was not too crazy about CSR, it was very spread out, I never even made it to the dig site. And the bus service was slow on 3 of the 8 days we were there. We enjoyed PM and they did not charge gratuity. But I was thrilled to have FD so I shouldn't complain.
The highlights of the trip were:
MVMCP We went on Nov. 22nd. I thought the crowds would be ridiculous, but they weren't at all. We had no problems being front row for the parades, kids had no waits for the rides or free snacks and the shows weren't that crowded.
The Christmas decorations were beautiful, especially in the hotels. We went to all the deluxe resorts and had pictures taken with PP. The boys in front of the gingerbread at GF will be our Christmas card.
Osborne Lights were incredible. We did that both nights at DHS and had a hard time dragging ourselves away.
O'Hana's, WCC and BOG lunch were or favorite places to eat. We actually did BOG twice and were able to get a FP the night before for the second day.
Thanks to everyone who helped with the trip, we had such a good time. I am kind of sad it will be a while before we go back. (2 years with the band.) I am thinking we may need to do a girls' trip with my mom, aunt and cousin, I bet they would watch the fireworks with me.
