Just back from a week at my happy place.
Highs
~ crowds were big, but managed to avoid them with good touring plan
~ AOA LK family suite was roomy and high floor was quiet.
~ opted out of mousekeeping and used the $ on souvenirs / towels were in hallway cart and emptied our own trash
~ Pandora ride was incredible and lived up to the hype
Lows
~ those people who put their kid on shoulders as the fireworks begin. We were there an hour early and pretty much missed all the lower castle projections.
~ the cost of the character meal buffets. We only did one (Tusker House) and my kids are <9 so the cost was $60 x 5. To be honest, the parks were packed, but the sit down restaurants were about half full (Sci Fi, Skipper Canteen, etc) I think the cost is just not worth it anymore.
~ the cast members were just...spent. They looked tired and could be heard complaining to each other about how much longer their shift was. I get it, but it was still sad.
All in all, a successful trip- great time together as a family and already having Disney detox. :/
