My children and I just got back from WDW yesterday and had an absolutely amazing time . It was a surprise Spring Break trip that I had planned for them, too!! The weather was great and the crowd level was fantastic. We were there for 5 full days and did everything that we wanted to do. Here are some of our highlights:

* We got our picture taken with Marie from The Aristocats! That was a real find for my DD7 who absolutely loves her .

* My DD7 rode RnRC for the first time (twice to be exact)!! She was already a fan of SM, BTM, TT and EE. Me, not so much .

* We won Dream Fastpasses at MK !!! We were exiting The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh and there was the Dream Team handing them out. We had already won the Dream Lanyards on a previous trip so we were extremely excited.

* We had an early breakfast seating at Crystal Palace and it was so nice to walk down Main Street and take your picture in front of the castle with the street being empty!

* We saw the new Block Party Bash at Hollywood Studios. It is a really cute parade with all of the Pixar characters. We even caught one of the stress balls they were throwing out to the crowds!!

It's always sad when you have to return home but it just inspires me to plan the next trip. We have a trip planned for November but if I can work things out I want to go back again in August before school starts. WDW Rocks!!!

I forgot to mention that we also ate at the Yak & Yeti Restaurant. The food was delicious. We had the Wonton soup and a beef dish. Yum, yum

Surprise trips are always the best..

Did you get any pictures?

I don't think I've ever seen an Aristocat. What an opportunity!

[Princessbaby]

Sounds like a wonderful trip!

was it counter or table service? I've heard mixed reviews on both. We have reservations in June and are unsure whether or not to keep them??

Hooray, I love it when trips turn out as wonderfully as you'd hoped! I can't believe you saw Marie from the Aristocats...I LOVE her, but I have never seen her in person (and considering I used to work in the character dept at Disneyland, I guess that's saying something! ) That's so cool!

You lucky duckies . . . we've tried to see Marie 3x and each time we are told "she has to go in now, (whisper, she needs the litterbox!)" and my DD4 is so sad! I am hoping to catch her in England at Epcot . . . I heard she hangs out there now too!!

Sounds like a great TR, hope you have pics . . . we're going in 2 weeks . . . can't WAIT, and your TR sounds like just the thing to pump us up!

[WishIWasThere]

Oh I hope we get to see Marie when we go since I have never seen her before.. It would be neat.

Aristocats! How exciting! Can't wait to read all about it. Did you ride the new Spaceship Earth?

[dancing4disney]

Sounds like you had a great time!

It was the full service restaurant. I had also heard mixed reviews but we were so hungry and the aroma outside the restaurant was sooooo enticing. We don't have any complaints about our meal.
