The Hits: Pirates, Indy, Space Mtn, Splash. Good but not great: Haunted Mansion, Buzz Lightyear Loser: Star Tours "What?": Price of mouse ears DL was packed- 9AM-2PM, 8PM-10PM. Fireworks were great but crowds were scary. Kids were nervous from the crowds. Couldn't get on BTMRR, IASW, Matterhorn. DCA. The Hits: Soarin, Screamin, Tower Just OK: Bugs, Grizzly, Animation, Monsters Inc Loser: Sun Wheel, Orange Stinger, Tortilla and Bread Factories "What?": San Francisco area, no Aladdin, length of TOT, NASTY Fastpass CM at GRR (large hispanic woman about 35 years old - just plain rude!) DCA was mostly empty except for GRR and Soarin. We were there from 2-8pm and rode Screamin and Tower several times. Many eateries were closed. Ended up at Wharf restaurants and Pizaa Oom Mow Mow (sp) Downtown Disney was a hit. That's it in a nutshell.
