I'm back from my 1st trip to DW, my thoughts...

Here are my thoughts on DW as a first timer...

1st, LOVED IT overall! Now I can see what the hype is all about.
-very organized
-cast members are ALWAYS nice, smiling, and helpful
-a lot more crowded than I thought it would be (British kids were on Holiday)
-Fastpass is great! Didn't have a problem getting 4th, 5th, 6th fastpasses after our 3
-didn't expect CM to cut off lines for character greetings (didn't read that anywhere online)
-these Disney boards helped me out A LOT with the trip planning!
-What I loved the most: Mickey's philharmagic, toy storia mania ride, & peter pan's flight
-What I loved the least: Turtle talk with Crush (don't waste a fastpass)
-we stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort and it was really nice
-Disney transportation is NOT as bad as everyone said
-the buffets at Chef Mickey's and Crystal Palace are actually good, character experience worth the $$$
-Sci-fi Dine in theater restaurant was a neat experience, everyone enjoyed that
-Dole whips taste...ummmm...different? weird? I don't know about the whip
-realized that Disney has a thing for dark boat rides, ha ha
-magic bands are awesome....SO convenient!
-Kali River Rapids is a VERY short ride! We were like, "that's it?"
-AK walkways are narrow (heads up for those with strollers)

Planning our next trip!
