In June, it will be our first try at Candy Cane Inn...hope its as good as most say on TripAdvisor. I noticed yesterday that the room rates on Expedia went up a bit for mid-June...maybe related to Midway Mania.

Thursday and Friday were truly zoos. My poor claustrophobic wife had a hard time, especially in the stretches through Adventureland. Lines overall weren't too bad when we hit them and we used FastPass to our heart's content. However, I will comment that while we were walking to lunch on Friday, we started wondering what the giant line was that stretched on down the middle of the street from Haunted Mansion towards Adventureland and wound back and forth along the way...turned out it was Pirates. The kids hardly experienced any "real" lines at all. They wanted to do a few Fantasyland rides during the middle of the day, so those gave us a few 40 minute waits...and then we finished up with an evening (8PM) wait for Space Mountain that took 90 minutes (popped out just in time for fireworks). Talking with some of the cast members, they acknowledged that it wasn't as busy as they (Disney) had anticipated.

Hopefully you'll have an opportunity to visit again soon - in the off season.
