We got back on Saturday to horrible heat here in Germany! We had a great time. It was me, DH, DD 3, and DD 18mths. We stayed at Disneyland hotel castle club and it was worth the extra $$! The service was excellent there and all of our needs were met. DH needs ice for his back everynight, not a problem, and DD needs a bottle of milk (they gave us a big jug everynight). The best perk of castle club was the ability to go to the lounge when it gets crazy hot or busy (which it did on friday and saturday) and have drinks. They will even fill your drink mugs to take to the parks. We will definitely be back for christmas!
The parks were great the first few days, lion king was excellent, and then the heat and crowds came! People were not being nice when it gets hot!!! They would just cut you off in lines and while trying to meet the characters... not fun. But thanks to the vip fastpass my DDs got to go on peter pan 4 times in 20 mins!!
The only bad thing was we could not find one princess. We were there for 6 days! I asked all the CMs there and kept on getting the wrong info of where they were going to be. We finally waited on our last day for two hours in fantasyland because DDs really wanted to meet them, and when I finally found a CM and asked, she said the princesses are on a different "job" and would not be appearing!!! Talk about a not magical way to end a trip! I would like to write a letter to someone, but don't know who.
We love Disney and nothing will ever make us stop going, but this trip made me realize that WDW is a whole lot better and you cannot compare the two.
As for meals, we had excellent food at Auberge de Cendrillon, Walts, and inventions. We did dine at California grill and it was not what we thought it should be. The inventions buffet was 100 times better! In the Village we ate at Cafe mickeys, rainforest cafe, and the buffallo bills show and they were all excellent!! But we made a mistake and had lunch at Planet hollywood.....the AC was broken it was very very very hot inside and food was just awful!!! I am a fan of planet hollywood but the one in the village is very neglected and someone needs to fix it!
Even with the few missess we still had a great time. Thanks to everyone on the dis with their tips, info, and help!
