Tried twice, one day was pouring rain, left park at 3:00 after parade cancelled, CM told us it was "highly unlikely" Spectro would run that night. We were cold and wet so we bailed.
Tried again later in the week but it was really cold, stuck it out until 6:00 but kids clearly had enough and we decided to cut our losses.
Fantasmic rained out one night but got in the next to see that. Waited 70 min. but had great seats in Scar section, ate dinner while sitting there.
Saw Illuminations twice, once in pouring rain (from Japan's covered balcony, great spot).
When weather wreaks havoc on your carefully planned itinerary you just have to go with the flow and know when to bail out. Our kids don't know what they missed, they had a great trip, glad we didn't push them to the edge.
Tried lots of new rides (new for us) like: TOT, MS, ST, HISTA, SplashM (yes I'd never been on it!) and more. Loved Philharmagic, don't miss that. Decided MGM and Epcot were our favorite parks this trip.
Finally got to BB, what a fun park. Don't let your kids do summit plummit or slusher gusher first. Ours begged but we made them do all the other slides for warm ups, then they did SG around noon and that did them in! They didn't go on another slide all afternoon!
Crowds not bad even with Mardi Gras (but definitely more so than last trip in early Feb), I think the rain two days cut down on crowd issues. CM's told us Pres. week was packed, we were the week after that.
Happy to answer any ?'s.
