hi all! just got back from the wdw vacation i had been looking forward to for so long. this was about my 30th time there, but my wife lisa had never been to wdw or disneyland. it is always interesting to observe the reactions of a first timer so here are some thoughts.
she couldn't believe how huge it was! even reading the travel guides i bought for her did not prepare her for the scope of wdw.
she actually gasped when we cleared the lush foliage of ak and saw the tree of life up close for the first time. (speaking of ak, i'd only been once before and wasnt overly impressed. i seemed to enjoy it a lot more this time and lisa thought the park was beautiful. we both liked the new dino area, we thought it was a nice contrast to the natural colors of the rest of the park and primeval whirl was a fun ride. it was one of lisa's favorites in all of wdw.)
before the trip, lisa had confessed that she might feel silly around the characters since we would have no kids with us. as it turned out the opposite was true, she actually carried on conversations with them and danced along with chip and dale. we waited longer to meet some characters than we did for most rides!
she commented that every employee we dealt with was very nice, and that the bathrooms were always clean. she is even using the term 'castmember' in everyday conversation now!
in short, she absolutely loved the trip. she has even said we can start planning another trip for next year! we're looking at february.
i have a lot more comments on this trip, but they'll have to wait for another day. if anyone has any questions i'll be glad to answer them!
