We're here!!
Here's a quick bit that I want to share that I won't be including in my big report...
When I got to the MK last Friday, I headed straight toward Mine Train and saw there was a line that I ran straight for. The posted wait time was 90 mins. A group of college-aged girls got in line next to me. I struck up a conversation with them, and for the next 90 mins I was showing them concept art for Avatar on my phone, talking about how Meg Crofton messed up the Space Mountain refurb and got promoted because of it, compared every ride to the DL versions, Avatar's budget of $800 million, how the Yeti used to animate, how TDO under Meg Crofton let maintenance suffer. In other words, I totally geeked out talking about Disney - the things we talk about here. For 90 mins, they appeared to be fascinated in what I was saying... Or they could have just been being polite. Later that night, I was thinking, "Those poor girls... Had to listen to me geek out about Disney for 90 mins!" Lol

The problem with FP+ is that you can only do one park at a time. If you want to do two at MK and the third at EC, for example, you have to use the two at MK first before you can get any others for the other parks. By the time you do use up the ones for your first park, the rides you want for the next park may no longer be available.
That's what happened that day at AK when we "compromised". By voiding all the passes she reserved for MK that day in order to make new ones for HS, not only did we loose the ones he had for MK but the rides we wanted for HS were no longer available. She had to void the MK passes just to see if any were available for the rides we wanted at the other parks. Add to that the fact that EE was closed and the tremendous waste of time we blew that morning and afternoon... Now you understand her break-down. As luck would have it, just a half hour later, EE opened and we were one of the first in line, AK management felt sorry for us and have us two free FPs, the FPs we wanted for other parks became available, and we managed to get additional passes at EC and HS! Basically, all the lost time and all the drama fully reversed itself and we ended up better off than before!

So I have to buy a tv or glasses from YouTube? Seems a bit inconvenient.
No! YouTube automatically formats it according to your method of viewing it. If you don't have a 3D monitor, just get a cheap pair of colored glasses to see it.
EDIT - My monitor uses the polarized method. The same method of all of Disney's 3D movies and most movie theaters.
Is it okay for this thread to be more conversational and relaxed, since it's my thread I would prefer less formalities... If that's okay with you, of course...
You heard the lady, let's PARTY! LolOK. It's your party.
You'll be security in case things get rowdy! Lol
No, you're on your own.
I do need a bouncer to keep the usual spoilers from starting a brawl...

Wait, they sent you wrist bands AFTER your trip? WHY...
Exactly

Perhaps THESE are the bands that were activated properly!
