Glad you and your party had a good time! I have never had that relaxed WDW trip you describe, and I must admit it sounds incredible. With 3 kids in school there was never that much time or money to get rooms, food and tickets for more than 5-6 days. You adopt that type-a, overplanner personality when you get one or maybe two shots at each park, where disney vacations are packed from sun-up to sun-down and you leave more tired than you arrived. But someday I just want to spend a whole day walking around EPCOT and maybe doing just a ride or two while actually going into every shop i see. Having the time to get seriously tipsy sampling alcohol without worrying about watching my own kids or what example i might be setting for them. Spending a whole afternoon at a pool or an evening at disney springs. Now that my kids are growing up I do look forward to these things at Disney in the future.
I think with all the recent negativity (some of it my own!) we need to hear some positive stories like yours to remind us why we still care.
