Hi everyone - thought I would let you all know we had a great trip. We stayed at POP and had a top floor room facing the lake - for the most part it was quiet and I am sure that made a difference for him. We did have the special card for him but only used it once - leaving Beauty and the Beast - the crowd was too big and it would have been overwhelming. The rest of the time we used fast pass or the lines were short we walked onto the ride/shows. I am sure it would have been different if we visited during a busy season.
We didn't end up going to the light shows - we say Wishes from our table at Ohana and the kids were so tired every night that we couldn't swing the show at MGM. THe crowds would have been too much afterwards. If we had gone I am sure I would have used the card to avoid the crowded line - even having to wait it would have been less overwhelming.
We had each day planned as much as possible so we could let him know what was coming next and when something was too busy we passed and came back or just missed it. We stayed tuned in to the kids especially our son - we saw so many kids getting dragged around and you could tell they just needed some time to regroup. Our early starts had a lot to do with our success I think.
We loved POP - we love retro - but the bus rides were too much for all of us especially our son. I found we lost a lot of holiday time. I would rather pay more and stay closer - if were were at the Contemporary we could have walked back for a swim and rest without a long bus wait and ride. But even so - we had a great holiday and really want to go back again.
Thanks again for all of your tips and advice - it made the trip very magical.
