Just Back from 10 Days of WDW Fun in the Very Hot Sun

CathysCAT · 06-25-2006

What a great 10 days we just had at Disney. We somehow managed to survive the 90 degree temperatures and 100% humidity with flying colors.

Just a quick recap tonight, then more on the TR and pictures as the week continues.

Cast: Myself, DH, and 2 Sons (13 and almost 7)

Resort: Coronado Springs...beautiful grounds and fabulous main pool. Kids loved the water slide. I even went on it!

Dining Plan: Don't leave home without it. Worth every penny if you plan ahead wisely.

Magical Express: Great for the price.

Chefs de France: Ooooo...the desserts were so yummy! And the service was outstanding.

Le Cellier: Got to see Tessa. Our server was really into his character, and the food was scrumptious.

Hoop-De-Doo Review: Outta this world! What a great show! Calling exactly 180 days in advance at 7am in the morning really paid off. We had a table center front of the stage and what a view that was.

Cirque du Soleil: Second time seeing it was just as amazing as the first.

Weather: HOT...HOT...HOT...HUMID...HOT...HOT...HUMID...HOT. ..HOT...HOT...HUMID...(do you get the point?) At least it didn't rain much. Just a few 30-60 minute downpours. Then HOT...HOT...HOT...HUMID, etc., etc., etc.

Crowds: Tons of people!!! But for some strange reason our longest wait in a Stand By line was only 20 minutes! Perfect timing I guess.

Told you it would be short for now....until tomorrow....'cause I'm at the point of total exhaustion right now and it's back to work in the morning (where I can finally sit and get some rest).

I'm so glad you had fun, I can't wait to hear more.

Just one question... was it hot down there?

Yeah, she wasn't very clear on that, I don't think it was that hot.

PrincessPooh · 06-25-2006

Wow, sounds like fun! Only 20 min standby lines huh, pretty good!

Can't wait to hear about HDD and about meeting Tessa!

Get some rest...who says WDW is a vacation anyway? It's a mission!
