We had a wonderful time and are now exhausted! Now we need a relaxing vacation LOL! The kids had a wonderful time with their cousins. We saw mickey, minnie, donald, goofy, pluto, kim possible and ron stoppable, snow white and dopey, Buzz and Woody and lot's more characters. It was Star Wars weekends in Hollywood Studios, so we saw lots of storm troopers, and other characters from those movies.
Dd was put in the spot light at the Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor. They said something like "what has one head and 4 ears?" " I don't know but she's sitting right there" and they put the spot light on her, she was wearing her Minnie Mouse ears. It was cute, we keep telling her she's famous now.
We also went to Magic Kingdom and Epcot center. I think we all agreed that the Tower of Terror was the best ride, followed by Space Mountain and Test Track and Soarin'. It was nice that my kids are old enough to go on the fun rides and not just the little kiddie rides.
The house we rented was GORGEOUS! We were so pleased with it. We had our own pool and hot tub. Which was nice to get into after all that walking!
It was very hot down there, but we survived. They do a good job of giving you a/c or at least ceiling fans whenever possible.

Annie, it was pretty crowded especially at Magic Kingdom on Friday. We found out when the early open days were for the people who stayed a the Disney resorts and didn't go to that park on that day. For example, if Magic Kingdom had early open on Sunday, we went to Hollywood Studios that day. We did that all week and it worked out well. Friday was our last day at the parks and there were things the kids really wanted to do again at Magic Kingdom, so we went there. It was an early open day for that park and it was very crowded. The longest wait we had in line was for Splash Mountain on Friday. The rest of the time we got Fast Passes for the big, popular rides. The ones we didn't get fast passes for had probably a 20-40 minute wait time, which wasn't so bad. The lines did move along pretty quickly. Thank goodness for FASTPASSES!!!

Glad you had a good time. I love Disney, been there 15 times
We do the same thing, we do not stay on disney property. So if we always check out which park had early days, and would go to a dift park. Yes, fast passes are wonderful

Patti, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! We are staying onsite in December, and we have planned our activities around the extended park hours - as in we are NOT going to those parks on those days! LOL
