Re: Our First and Fabulous Trip During Peak Season

Sounds like you had a fun and magical trip. Your DD is going to remember her dance with the prince for the rest of her life. I bet she couldn't wait to tell her friends about it. BTW, you did a very nice job on your tr. I never wrote one because I too feel like I couldn't write one that would make any since. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Our First and Fabulous Trip During Peak Season

You are welcome and it was intimidating to write - hence I went with an outline format bc I honestly cant write as conversational and well as the folks who write the trip reports! It was fun though doing it and I thought why not considerring I love reading them!! Definitely post yours!! And yes, MouseBuzz will be in her future - she is a Disney kid through and through!

Re: Our First and Fabulous Trip During Peak Season

Suetom what a lovely TR- you really sold WL to us in fact I just spent the last 10 mins reading your posts out to my DH who agree WL sounds fabulous. As ones who always stay at moderates, you really gave us food for thought for our 09 trip-so thanks

Re: Our First and Fabulous Trip During Peak Season

Dixie - it really is a fabulous place and we are super critical of everywhere we stay and couldnt think of a single thing the folks at WL could do differently. The theming is wonderful and the place is so so clean it is unbelievable. Everywhere you look things are sparkling and everyone who greets you does so with a smile and if you hesitate for a second they are asking if there is anything they can help you with. Our room was cleaned at about 9AM and then at 6:30PM a second person would come through, restock the room with towels, give us chocolates on the pillows, turn down our sheets, arrange our pillows, close the drapes and leave soft lighting! They even washed the windows daily - and always left towel animals! Both Artist Point and Whispering Canyon had excellent food and I cant imagine there being a bad view. The launch was a great way to travel, the buses ran just fine (with us being the first stop both coming and going even if the other resort we were sharing transport with was Grand FLoridian or Fort Wilderness). There are too many fireplaces to count and nooks and crannies on each floor if you just want to find a comfie chair to read in. Another perk - great viewing areas for the water pageant each night at 9:35. My DD loved the pool slide and all the water games. The staff by the pool was very engaging! Trust me, you will love just walking the grounds!!

Re: Our First and Fabulous Trip During Peak Season

Glad it was a great trip. I can't imagine "risking" my vacation fund on peak season crowds.

Re: Our First and Fabulous Trip During Peak Season

DD's spring break is the last two weeks of March so it really is the only time we can take a long break down in Fla - going in the summer isnt an option for us due to her allergies/asthma so we braved the Easter crowds - to be honest, we were having such a great time and making such good use of the fastpasses that the crowd levels didnt affect us in the least. We saw everything we wanted, ate everywhere we wanted and just made memories for a lifetime! We also made a few new friends along the way so all in all it was a great week!

Just to get an idea...what kind of "activities" were going on when you were there?

Thanks.
