Trip Summary

Overall, it was a wonderful trip. Although when we first arrived home, we weren’t sure if we would ever want to brave the long travel days and the heat and humidity to do it again, it wasn’t long before those memories faded. We are now ready to go back again and are tentatively planning a trip in 2007.

I think we were able to accomplish much more than the usual first timer thanks to the resources of my favorite Disney fan sites, Mouseplanet.com, Mousesavers.com and WDWInfo.net. Also, the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World was a tremendous help.

In future visits, we’ll try to stay longer so that we don’t have to cram as much into each day as we did. The difference in cost between a 7 day park hopper ticket and a 10 day ticket is very small. We’ll also avoid the evening Extra Magic Hours as they were very crowded and we felt that we didn’t get a lot accomplished during those times. If possible, we’ll schedule our next visit for December when it’s cooler and we’ll get to enjoy the Christmas decorations. We’re also considering renting a car to cut down on the amount of standing in line at the bus stops and also to make it easier to visit the other resorts to see their Christmas decorations.
