So glad you're there and take in all that lovely lobby smell! We just left SF to come back home last night. Can't wait to hear about your adventures and all the yummy food/drinks.
So glad you're here & having a fabulous timeI have been slightly missing…….but having so much fun!
It is blazingly hot right now, but will cool a little next week I’m told……and there’s always some doom and gloom sayer who wishes rain on us while we’re here……lol……haven’t seen a drop yet so it has been perfect for us. Maybe yesterday was a little too hot…….maybe……but as I’m not allowed to say those immortal words, I declared I was loving this intense and meltingly hot heat with a slight grimace………lol……he knew what I meant.
Parks were busy yesterday, but lines weren’t too bad considering. And it wasn’t too bad in Hogsmeade, just busier than we’re used to……biggest complaint is so many strollers…..huge strollers, pull along cart type strollers, people who can’t drive strollers, strollers parked everywhere with enough “stuff“ to go camping for a week on them…….you get the idea…….it reminded me of the good old days in Disney which was always stroller city.
I will pop back and forward as it gets nearer your trip and let you know what the parks are like, but they’re ok right now……apart from maybe the odd stroller or two…….
- completely agree about WAY too many strollers now at UO

why we didn’t go to Disney until my kids were like 5&7. I was not messing with that. Tho in hindsight, they may have been far less whiny if we’d have rented one, but knowing them , they’d have found something else to whine about 
A pox upon them and their house
jk, sorta
I am going to go out on a limb and say it is more of the "Disney" peeps who are vowing now to give the mousehouse their money.
So glad you're here & having a fabulous time
Strollers were
I’m always a bit surprised at how much stuff people seem to think they need for a day at the park. Even with my kids, I just have a Vera Bradley sling bag and thats been enough. And I don’t trust other person enough to leave a stroller full of stuff unattended.
I’m taking bribery to a whole new level for this trip. My 8 yr old is tall enough for all the coasters except maybe the 1. At home he’s just at 54 in so whichever one that is, he might not measure enough there. My 10 yr old is plenty tall enough but a huge chicken when it comes to coasters. So I offered them $100 each if they’d ride all the rides they were tall enough for. I know the oldest would love them if he’d just ride them once. He was the same way with Everest at Disney. Scared to death but once he rode it once it’s now his favorite.
HP area tends to really bottleneck on busier days. I’m of the mind there is a certain subset of people who use strollers as combo cow-catchers/battering rams. worst tends to be during food & wind in Epcot, lost track of how many times I’ve had my ankles nipped there. There should be DUIs
