Re: Dana - the Trip report 1/05
Overview -
Things I won't do again: I won't change resorts midway. I found this to be a pain for us. I like having the same place and staying there. WDW made it easy and it's not their fault. It just didn't work for us.
The Polynesian was beautiful....really beautiful, but I don't think it was worth the price tag. The AKL is better I think for the money that you pay.
Next trip, I will not make as many PS's. We ended up cancelling and rebooking most of them to accomidate our schedule of the day that kept changing while DBF and his DS were there. Next time, I will alternate breakfast and dinner PS and not having them on the same day.
Things that were great:
The character interaction at O'hanna
Watching DBF get bitten by the WDW bug. He declared it so relaxing and is definately up for another trip.
I enjoyed having time with both my DBF and DD seperately. WE had good quality time that isn't always possbile with my work schedule.
Wishes despite the stupid buy blocking my view
riding the monorail in the front seat
looking for alligators and actually finding a few
meeting new friends like Darth and his DW
Things that were not so great:
rude guests...enough said
the kids fighting....minor thing that was ignorable most of the time
DBF leaving
One minor gripe:
The bathrooms. I was in these bathrooms in the early hours of the day in each and every park. They were immacualte. I would stop back in these restrooms later on (i go a lot) and they would be trashed. People are discusting. Pee on the seats, clogged toilets....eww.
The CM's:
Each and every CM I encountered were excellent! Each and every one of them had Disney Attitudes all I never got sick of hearing "have a magical day" This makes the trip. The attractions are great, the rooms are great, but the CM's and their love for their jobs is what makes the trip magical. This ws such an improvement over some of the not-so-magical ones I experienced last January. It was so much easier to get over the little bumnps in the roads beacause of them.
