We arrived yesterday for a 6 night stay at Old Key West. Went to Epcot yesterday evening and Animal kingdom today. Many of the attractions do shut down and we got stuck on them. Spaceship Earth, Test Track and Expedition Everest all had issues.
OKW is beautiful and lovely, we are 7 including one baby staying in a 2 bedroom. We are in building 32 on Turtle Pond. Tonight we are going to Chef Mickey.
Crowds aren't too bad.

OKW is lovely, but feels so far from everything except DTD.

Have fun at CM's!

Most people don't realize that when the rides stop most of the time it is because someone in a wheelchair is getting on or off the ride.

That is true we only had it happen a few times where we could see what was happening but the ride does come to a complete stop to accommodate those with accessibility issues. I could imagine some people might be left in awkward positions if the are not near the departing guest.....
