Just returned late last night from a quick 4 day stay. We surprised our kids with quick trip to celebrate our 10th Anniversay. Needless to say, they were surprised and we all had a great time. Here is a quick recap of the notables:
1. Weather: Absolutely beautiful. High 80s to low 90s with a nice breeze. Only a few sprinkles at various times.
2. Crowds: Heavy, but wait times varied from walk on to 40 minutes depending on the park, the ride and the time of day.
Sunday - the day we arrived we did MGM and everything was walk on which was a great way to start the vacation.
3. Resort (Old Key West): Very nice. Unfortunately, the air conditioning was broken, but since we were in the parks all day, we didn't really figure it out until day 3 and then had to switch rooms at midnight with our two kids in their PJs!
4. Buses: Seemed like we always just missed the bus we needed, so we did end up waiting for buses, but nothing to complain about.
This was our first time seeing Wishes and loved it!! What a spectacular display!! Spectro was at 9pm and Wishes at 10pm and people started getting their seats before 6pm. This surprised us a little, but we were able to secure a spot at the top of main street behind another family. Needless to say, by 9pm we were squished in amongst several families who just pushed their kids in to the somewhat open spots that were available! I have no problem squishing, but it would be nice it they would ask if the child could come sit in front of me instead of just pushing them in. The poor kids are left standing with a bunch of strangers while their parents are out of sight to them.
Happy to answer any questions!!
Now the planning begins for our next trip!!
