It has been over a week now and I am sort of off my post-WDW depression. We stayed at the Art of Animation and I have my opinion on that, which is to say that I am glad I stayed there but I won't be hurt if we never go back. We had a great time and the room fit our needs but I like to stay closer to the action. I took a poll of two of my children and they both liked the Polynesian Resort best of the ones we have stayed at. I am a fan of the Poly and I also like the Contemporary for the same reason, the monorail. I do not want you to misinterpret this post as a gripe, I had a wonderful, magical, time and I am already planning our next trip to WDW. The Art of Animation (AA) is a wonderful resort, and for the right family (one with young children) it can be a magical place. However, it wasn't the best for me and my family. One of my "complaints" is the lack of transportation, or maybe I should say lack of choices concerning transportation. It is either the bus or your own vehicle. For old pros like us we can scoot around WDW like tour directors in our minivan but not everyone is as comfortable doing that. Busses are okay but the travel time is extended to the parks because of the distance from the resort.
Let me change directions now. What did we do that made our trip special this year? Nick and I went fishing, Jule and Corri went for mani-pedis and the whole family experienced the Hoop-De-Doo Review. We also found that Wyatt is our ride guru. He likes rides, although he was a little upset when we went a second time on the Kali-River Rapids at the Animal Kingdom. He went on Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, the Haunted Mansion, Goofy's Barnstormer, and It's a Small World. He also helped me get the high score on Toy Story's Midway Mania.
One thing I want to point out is we came across the Disney Hollywood Street Performers on this trip and loved them. Nick agrees that we'd go to DHS just to watch them.
Disney has done it again by the way. The new Magic Kingdom parade "Festival of Fantasyland" is in my opinion "AWESOME" I think it is the best Disney parade I have ever seen and I have seen the Christmas parade.
Let's face it, I love Disney World and the feeling I get when I am walking right smack dab down the middle of Mainstreet USA with the castle in front of me is awesome. Oh before I leave you I must say that if you ever get to eat at "Be Our Guest" try the grey stuff it IS delicious, don't believe me... wait for it, wait for it... ASK THE DISHES!
