We're back after 12 days at DLP. We loved our trip so much, we bought into the Marriott Vacation Club and we had a blast. We took over 1000 photos, met with friends (about 20 over the 2 weeks) and some imagineers. Were in a couple of shows. Rode the Molly Brown and toured the Keel Boats. Loved Crush and Cars, as well as HSM. Parade and Character Express are lovely additions.
Greet meals at the Steak House, King Ludwigs, Silver Spur, Lucky Nugget, plus good food and lousy service at Walt's. Great trip. The parks are looking the best they have in a long time. we also had a great time at Val D'europe, Reims (inc. Tattinger winery), Provins and Chantilly. Trip report to follow soon if people are interested.
cool : ) 12 days is a long time

Yep - we're interested!!! :D
As always-please and thank-you-any tips you found useful would be great too-already noted down a few of Masamunes:D
Sounds like a great trip! And yes a report will be wonderful :D
:o Wow, 12 days. Did you actually spend that many days in the Parks, or was that how long your entire trip was? :) If so, how many days did you spend in the Parks?
12 days! That's a long time! Although I'm sure I could spend 12 days just in the resort, but my family couldn't :lol: How many of those 1000 photos are you going to upload for us? :P
Remember I have a 2 year old and a four year old, so often we would go in the morning, head back to the house for an afternoon break, and then go back to the park for 4 or 5.
