Have a safe trip:wave: My flight leaves tomorrow at 7:00am out of Philly. I'll be landing at 9:15am in Orlando:sohappy: You should def. try to hit AK for EMH (AK is really cool at night), Ill be there, got a 6:00 dinner, at the Yak & Yeti. Hope to see you there :wave:

Have fun guys! I posted a thread to see what the crowds were like but no one has answered yet..

I didn't check the board at all while we were there. I only had my phone and it's just too hard to look at message boards on it.

Our trip was pretty good! Had some highs and some lows.

Good things = low crowds on some days, enjoyed Magic Kingdom more this time than last time, Restaurant Marrakesh was fantastic, good weather.

Not so good things = lots of tour groups, lots of rude people, busy food court at our hotel, Coral Reef, my husband got sick the last couple days (probably caught something from one of the many people who felt the need to cough on us.)

Overall...I really enjoyed our trip. Even with the bad stuff, we took it all in stride and tried to laugh at most of it.

We did a lot more park hopping than we planned and it actually worked well. We took things at a slower pace than our last trip which was also good too.

Not sure when our next trip will be. It probably won't be for quite a few years.

We are hoping to go to Disneyland this Fall or Winter maybe though!!

Hope all of my fellow January travelers had nice trips!! :wave:

Lucille, glad you had a good trip. I'm still trying to get past that glass-half-empty feeling. Normally by now we've planned another trip but, sadly, not this time. Between the bad experiences we had and finding out last week that the end is very near for my hubby's job the outlook is pretty bleak. We'll have to see.

Aren't rude guests the worst?! I think we didn't notice them so much or have this problem as often when Disney wasn't packing folks in shoulder-to-shoulder with all their discounting. **sigh** I miss the good ol' days when it was possible to take a leisurely stroll up Main Street at dusk.

What happened? Did you do a trip report??

I know what you mean with the crowds. We went at the same time in January 2008 (where there really weren't any good deals going on) and I thought the crowds seemed much lighter.

As usual, the second we get back from a WDW trip, I want to plan a Disneyland trip. So we are pricing a September trip maybe. We'll see.

Sorry about your husband's job.
