We have been here since the 12th, going home tomorrow. Last week, we'd do short days at recomended parks and never lost the magic. We have an 8,4 and 6 month old. I wasn't bothered by the crowds at all.
Then, yesterday happened. We had a few MK fast passes to hit for our last park morning. The MK bus was really late. From the time we arrived at bus stop they added 10 more minutes to Arrival time. Then the screen went black.we barely made our first fast pass... Then we were on uNder the sea and it broke. Not trying to be dramatic but it's was really horrible. We sat there for a very long time hearing "under the sea" my baby was in the next clam shell and SHRIEKED the whole time. I had the bag with any toys or biscuits or bottles to try and calm her. The lap bar made it hard to move and after a while, hearing my baby scream and feeling so restricted, I start to have claustrophobia/panicky feelings. My daughter was in tears from the stress. People were starting to yell. Someone had to come and open each she'll to get us out. I understand things break, they just left us there way too long. We walked straight out of the park, not interested in free fast passes! We didn't bother with out last fast pass as it was its a small world and baby was in a major state at that point. Lunch reservation at Kona. Monorail took a long time. They mentioned a maintenance issue when it finally came. Waited an hour for our food. No apology or acknowledgment of slow service.
We were happy to get back to our resort and away from the crowds and problems. So glad we were here last week during the manageable time when everything worked so well. Really, other than yesterday it was a fabulous time here for our family.
