Sunday 8/19 - SLEEP
We all had a great time and did have some down time throughout the week. Both DS recently had surgery on their feet, so walking alot was a problem and therefore we missed some of the shows (AK - Finding Nemo, Lion King, MGM - Stunt Show ,Indiana Jones) because they preferred the attractions and they needed to rest throughtout the day. I showed the FP call back time and the wait times for stand by. We never had a bad meal. Food and service were excellent and I worked in the restaurant field for 15 years as a muti-unit supervisor for casual dining restaurants. If not for the wait times at the water parks, we had no problems with the waits. We avoided anything with long waits without FP. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask.
