Maybe your next trip you can resort hop there for bit to check it out.🤷🏻‍♀️it really is a wonderful resort. Lots of variety.

    We almost always end up in magic kingdom on a party night. I almost always schedule a dining reservation between 6 and 7. (This years is at liberty tree at 6:30). It’s a bit of a hack to get the most out of our park day and to head back to the hotel at the normal time for us. They get pretty aggressive in herding you to the front starting about 7, but you should see how are later than that. Walking with a purpose does no good at 8. They aren’t rude but they are persistent.

    All my troubles melt away when I step foot on property. I get that same giddy, contented sigh you do Jen. I'm going to Orlando for 10 days around Thanksgiving but won't be staying on property (not my choice!) and I'm pretty salty about it. I wonder if anyone would even notice if I disappeared for a day or two and went on my own?
