Overall it sounds like you were just able to kind of go with the flow and let Disney do what they do best.

Character meals are definitely something you go to for seeing the characters, not the food quality. But the enjoyment the kids get makes it worthwhile.

After our savanna view stay at Animal Kingdom, we’ve already decided we will need to modify our upcoming stay for our daughter’s wedding in November to also have a savanna view. That just makes the stay there.

We switched to the Grand Floridian half way through our trip and it’s a completely different feel. I liked the calmness at AKV but being right on the monorail line at VGF is a definite plus.

Our biggest surprise on this trip so far was dinner at Steakhouse 71. While the steaks weren’t as good as some of the higher end steakhouses, the value was much better. Basically under $40 for everything we ordered versus $50-60 at someplace like Le Cellier.

Overall glad to hear you enjoyed your trip. We most definitely have enjoyed ours and are already looking forward to coming back in November.
