Ok so I have never done a trip report so please forgive me if I did not post this correctly.
Just some info for you guys.......
*Chef Mickey's is under construction I had never been there so I am not sure if part of it is closed or if they are expanding it.
*Crowd levels were not too bad at all except for AK the day they had EMH. It's not worth EMH in the evening at AK since most things are closed like the safari ride after 5pm. Anything having to do with live animals in the show/ride close down regardless of EMH or not.
*EMH in the am at MK were wonderful. Low wait times for rides.
*WE WON DREAM FAST PASSES IN EPCOT ONE DAY*:sohappy:For those of you who have not had dream fast passes I was not aware of this until we won them but, you only get one entrance for certain rides on that day only in the park you won in. I thought it was for all rides for as many times as you wanted for that day:brick:. I did see people in MK with the fast pases and theirs had an extra ride noted on theirs. Epcot had only 6 rides.
*Eat at Akershus princess story book dinner and you get free pictures with a princess......well at least that day everyone did. The food was good but, my MIL got triple charged for her tip on her meal (twice on her room charge and she had paid cash for the tip as well)
*Ohana's had a really long wait even with ADR's. We had ADR's for 9:10pm and did not get seated until almost 10 pm. They booked 3 other parties of more than 10 people for the same time as us. Try to get there early to see if you can get seated early.
*Disappointed with POP century. We stayed last year and the property was clean and kept up really well including the busy food court. This year, the food court was always messy, dirty, and they were ALWAYS out of the frozen coke. They property in general was ok, but still saw lots of paper on the grounds and didn't seem like that many people were working.
*Lines for counter service meals went pretty quick considering it was the first week of free dining. DDP gives so much food we could not eat it all. Ended up getting suckers at 11:30 pm the night before we left to fulfill our snack credits.
*Be sure to check your room accounts especially if you have charging privelages on your room. All of the people in are party (3 rooms, 10 people) got stuff charged to our room that were not authorized from the dining plan. Save all your dining reciepts as we did not and almost had to pay out of pocket for a meal that was charged to our room when it was supposed to be the DDP.
*Heat was unbearable.......bring misting fans!!!!! HOT, HUMID, HORRIBLE!!!! :fork:
*So glad we rented a car!!! Won't do it any other way again!!! So convientent.
*Eat later at night at Chef Mickey's or Ohana's and you can see wishes. At Chef Mickey's they have an observation deck you can watch the show. At Ohana's at 10 pm they switch from music to the show verbage and if you ask for a seat to see wishes you can see the whole thing.....what a treat that was!!! Still not the same as being on Main street but in all we saw wishes 3 times
*No globe for Illuminations
It just wasn't the same.
Ok thats all I can think of for now, if I think of more, I will post it later!!!
