We just got back from a trip in the Orlando area. We spent a day at Epcot, and 4 hours at the MK. Epcot was great, we ate in England at the restaurant. It was one of our better country dinners over the years. Also, we didn't seem to have to much of a waiting time on most of the rides.
The Magic Kingdom on the other hand was very disappointing this year. Before going we already knew that the Toon area was closed permanently. But, most of the town square was under construction, Haunted House was completed yet, Peter Pan was shut down, Castle under construction. Really limiting the use of the park during such a busy time. Come on Disney...why do you do all the construction during Spring Break season, which is a peak time of the year.
We ended up cancelling Toni's, because I didn't feel like eating under the tarp. My daughter and I had no problem riding Space Mountain 3x's in the morning. But, walking over to Fantasyland was unbelievable. I've never seen so many strollers parked at one place! Adventureland was just as crowded with strollers. Wouldn't of it made sense to complete the construction areas before Spring Break season? Also, maybe holding off on closing the Toonland area until May? Than at least the kids would have a favorite area to get autographs.
Needless to say, we were very dissapointed with the MK, this year. I have to say that almost every cast member we talked to, either at DTD or the parks were very friendly. Which was a big difference from last year, when their contracts were being renegotiated (at the Spring Break time).
