Well I am going through withdraws...can't figure out why my work cafeteria won't accept my magic band...and I am counting the days until a Disney cruise and a bounceback for Dec 2017.
I wanted to quickly highlight a couple of things:
1. CMs - we did not run into any rude or annoying cast members. All were so wonderful and helpful. We struck up so many conversations that I can't keep them all straight. Many of the CMs stated they loved spreading pixie dust and seeing the smiles on everyone's face, but growing minority of guests are becoming demanding and spoiled. This group is taking time away from the rest of us. One story was about a woman who told the CM that she ruined her entire vacation because there was not hot tub at PoP and that the menu in the quick service restaurant didn't change daily. So all I ask is that everyone say a couple of extra thank yous and show some courtesy to the CMs. Given the opportunity they will make it right, whatever your issue is. I have an email reading to send kudo's to 3 outstanding CMs.
2. Disney Springs: AMAZING!!!! I know many folks on here don't like it because it is a glorified shopping mall, but oh my gosh. I loved it. My fiance said "if we lived in Orlando, we would be here almost every night." Blaze pizza was awesome.
3. Food - only one issue with a meal and that was at California grill. The food was good, but the time to get our food took forever. We were seated at 7:15, ordered by 7:30 and didn't get out of there until almost 10. It was nuts. But everything else was yummy - Boma and Cape May breakfast's were wonderful.
4. $37,000 Crystal Castle! Learned so much about these by talking with a wonderful CM at the Disney Springs location. Only 50 will be made - 22 have been sold. Last one sold was from Disney Springs last Dec. Takes 3 months to make and over 20 thousand hand set crystals. Only 18 left...who wants one!
There is so much more that I could talk about but wanted to be brief.
