I'm sure I'm very affected by all this Disney talk

Just getting back to real life after a few days at DLP and thought I'd share our highs and lows:
Lows:
Not many really and not all to do with Disney!
Heavy rain on Tuesday afternoon meant we had an extended time in our hotel
4 hour delay with our flight - home at 3:30am.......not great
NPB not brilliant - but still a nice hotel - A few little niggles including the walkway all the way around the lake. It's not fun at midnight. It is not a 'few minutes extra' We timed it and it took at least 8 minutes from the front of the Hotel New York to Newport Bay. Doesn't sound like much but when you're knackered every step counts, lol. I knew this before we went, but it was still annoying.
Highs:
Weather most of the time was beautiful, lovely and sunny with some wind which made it very manageable
CM's all very, very lovely and friendly. Seen lots of lovely interaction with kids around us, was great to see
Disneyland Park looking lovely, especially Fantasyland - the Dumbo refurb is amazing!
Crowd levels, whilst very busy was also manageable
Phantom Manor refurb great too
Big Thunder Mountain in the dark - has to be the best experience ever!
Surprised by some nice counter service restaurants - loved The Lucky Nugget and enjoyed Bella Notte too
Overall we had an amazing time again. We took our time, managed our expectations and had a wonderful holiday together. Time to plan the next one
