Trip Report last big trip for the next 28 months..

Okay.. so we just got back on Sunday.. and we all had an excellent trip.. Was every thing perfect.. no it wasn't but .. DISNEY WORLD IS STILL DISNEY WORLD.. we stayed at Pop.. and the first morning there was no hot water.. None in our building ..my kid and her husband were in a totally different part of the building and had no hot water as well.. We did two days at Epcot, MK, and MGM.. and one day at AK.. we did have a park hopper ..but declined to use it. .on the second Epcot day we did the lunch/ Christmas processional combo.. since the rate was fixed at $44 or something like that.. I got more then my share out of my money.. we ate in Italy.. just my appetizer plate of calamari was worth most of the expense to me.. the food was outstanding.. I had the seafood linguine plus drinks and dessert . Wow.. I am a big big moose, but who could eat all of that more then once a day or three days in a row..even if you are on the dining plan.. MK was very very crowded. .but our bus pickup was great.. to and from Pop.. no matter where we went.. I just wish that the Pop bus wasn't last at each park.. at AK we ate at the character breakfast buffet in Africa .. Lee was our server.. he was a hoot. .on our first day to MK Pirates broke down right before we boarded.. and we were given super fast passes to come back later.. we did the ride later in the week .The JINGLE CRUISE was very very good as well. and I have to tell you that the decorations on just the castle alone were worth the price of admission.. We saw the Osborne lights and it puts our hometown lighting to shame.. I got to be FACE TO FACE with Darth Vader.. and HE SPEAKS in James Earl Jones' voice.. wow.. enough to make the hair on your arm stand on end.. all in all we had an outstanding time.. but its now time to put Disney aside.. we have gone 3 times in just over 4 years.. by far the closest ever schedule we ever used for WDW.. I will cruise the site for the next couple of weeks.. and then periodically to check back on the building progress. have a MAGICAL DAY..
