The mornings were nice and not too crowded. The parks started to get crowded around 12:00. A.K. seemed to be crowded from the start. It seemed to me that the paths there are more narrow than the ones at the other parks. Maybe it's just me. Epcot was great on Sunday. We had the park to ourselves for most of the A.M. MGM seemed a little crowded, but I think that is because it is much smaller. We did everything we wanted to do there. Magic Kingdom was great as always. We rode Peter Pan's Flight, Snow White, Pooh, and Haunted Mansion in the first hour. I did notice that Adventureland is the least crowded of the lands in the P.M. Everyone was in Tomorrowland and Fantasyland from 7:00p.m. until park closing.
The best way to handle the heat is to start early, drink lots of water, go inside often, and take a midday hotel break! It worked for us, otherwise, we would never have made it.
Lunch at Crystal Palace was great! It was definitely worth the price. Our PS was for 11:30a.m. and we were seated around 11:35a.m. Our server came to our table immediately and took our beverage order and then directed us to the buffet. The food was delicious! The characters started making rounds as soon as we sat down with our food. We saw Piglet and Eeyore only once. That was a little disappointing as Eeyore is my favorite. Tigger and Pooh came around more often. Tigger even sat with us! That made my DD(13) very happy as he is her favorite! We will definitely eat at Crystal Palace again! Maybe we will try breakfast next time.
