Back home from our trip! It was a group of 14 and I felt the pressure to plan and include everyone’s favorites and I think we ended up getting everything in!
We had no lines at all at security or entrance until Friday night, but even those were fairly short! (On Harbor side. Relatives at GCH had some crazy long lines Wed and Thurs at security I guess). The longest we waited on stand by was 30 minutes for Star Tours (my daughters favorite; we didn’t get Genie + the last day) and 27 minutes for Alice, both on Saturday late morning.
Genie+ worked great for us! We had a nice breakfast in the park each morning and picked out our first ride for a quick entrance, then I used our afternoon breaks to stack Genie+ for the evening.
The breakdowns seemed to be a lot better now that October is passed! The only time it affected us was when Toy story was down in the morning but they gave us a MEP before even our time and we went to ride emotional whirlwind, then by the time we were done toy story was back up and we walked straight on without a pass! The train was also down our last day but not a big deal to miss that.
Plaza Inn character breakfast was so good and so much fun. A great last day thing when we were all exhausted, and we asked for the the office room at lamplight and it was so cool!
This was the first time we didn’t get up extra early each day to make it to the park before open, (our first trip with a teenager) so I’m really happy with all we managed to get in. We did get up early Wednesday morning and that especially was dead at DCA and it was so wonderful. Ready to sleep now for a week!
