I'm Back. High lights and Low Lights. Trip Report and pics will be coming!

Hi my lovely forum!
I'm back from THE WORLD. sad Back to real life. No more Mickey.....

We had an amazing time and it was so sad to leave. I actually teared up on the Magical Express on the way to the airport yesterday.....

Anyway, a real, timely, picture filled trip report will be coming in the next week.......

That said, I wanted to just sum up my high lights and low lights of the trip.

HIGH LIGHTS:
-->Getting moved the Polynesian from Coronado Springs. Without additional charges. We already were paying half price for our room in Coronado. So yeah, don't do the math on that one. It's just vulgar how little we paid for that amazing resort. And it was just lovely. We loved waking up every morning to the beauty of the landscaping, enjoying Tonga Toast at Captain Cook's and hoping a boat to Magic Kingdom.

-->Last minute reservations at Be Our Guest. Lucky and delicious!!!

-->MVMCP! I love love LOVED the Castle Show and Parade!!!!

--> Every meal we had was spectacular with the exception of Bongo's. We had sit down meals at Be Our Guest, Le Cellier, Tutto Italia, Les Chefs de France, Bongos, and Kouzzina.

--> Sundaes from Ghiradelli. TWICE.

--> The weather. Was fantastic. Between 75 and 80 degrees during the day!!!! Sunny not a cloud in the sky. One morning of sprinkles. Warm enough to enjoy the pool and beach, cool enough to not be miserable in the parks.

--> Aside from ToT and TSMM, we got to ride and do everything we wanted. Multiple times.

--> LOTS of wonderful Birthday Wishes!

--> My sister took us on a CM preivew of Test Track. IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!

Low lights:
--> LEAVING. Lord only knows when we're gonna be able to go back (I'm aiming for May!) but I want to go back. So badly. Preston feels the same. I just love the feeling of happiness and ease.

--> I didn't get to see NPH. It conflicted with our BOG ressies, which seemed more high stakes at the time. We did catch Whoopie from the back standing area. It was pretty cool. A little religious for my tastes, but the music was really nice.

--> The huge influx of cheerleaders and pee wee football leagues. And more so, their obnoxious, entitled familes. That said, even regular guests.....it feels like "excuse me" or "pardon me" is often forgotten whilst running others over with your stroller.

--> Due to a hectic schedule and poor planning, I didn't get to meet up with any other WDWforGUs peeps. We kept missing Jess and Mase!!!!!

--> A personal back injury really made me feel physically terrible.

--> WE MISSED THE OSBORNE LIGHTS!!!!!

All that said. I WANT TO GO BACK! CAN I JUST LIVE AT THE POLY? KTHX.

Despite the lows (what?! no NPH?!) it sounds like you had a spectacularly magical trip! I'm very excited to here all about it, particularly your Kouzinna and BOG reviews and what the new Test Track is like! yay

LOL!! *So* funny! I only guessed that because he was talking about his Disney trip on 'Live with Kelly and Michael' yesterday.

Not to worry, I'm pretty sure NPH will be back another year - I know I've seen his name on the list in past years. And I KNOW the Osborne Lights will be back, as will your WDWFG peeps. So start planning your next visit!
