Hi all! We we just returned from our trip! We had a pretty good time and I thought I would share our experience.
Hotel: We stayed at POP again and really enjoyed it. This sadly will probably be the last time we stay here due to us being a family of 5 and the next time we go the baby will be over 3. Check in went super fast! We took the Magical Express and were in our rooms in about an hour and a half, maybe less.
Magicbands Our magic bands worked great!! We had zero issues with them working. I loved scanning them instead of searching for a card. Everyone in our group wore them all day including the 4 and 7 year old without complaints. I actually forgot I had it on. I loved being able to charge with it. We were very satisfied with this!
Fastpass/child swap Fastpass plus was great! I loved not having to run through the parks in order to try and get a ticket. We did find the Kiosk to get more and that worked well also. The cast memebers at the kiosk were very helpful. We utilized the child swap this time. Worked great. It was nice being able to ride with my kids and for my husband to also. Plus it helped with the "can we ride again?"
The only trouble I have is at what times to book fast pass for. It gets confusing on where we will be/eat/doing when booking 60 days ahead but it all worked out really well.
Memory Maker Memory maker worked great. I was on the fence about it but glad I got it. We have over 200 pics which I didn't realize they took that many. Most are okay.
Dining We had the dining plan and ate at
TREX
Garden Grill
Liberty Tree
San Angel
Tusker House
Crystal Palace
Ohana Breakfast
Sci Fi
I will put a detailed report in the restaurant part
Over all we had a great time. I have to say my husband and I are exhausted. The kids did pretty good. The 4 year old was the most challenging.
Next time we go the baby will be tall enough for the rides. The crowds were good and we were able to do what we wanted to do except Jedi Training. Next time!! Any questions please feel free to ask!
