Sorry about your trip . We usually go end of August to Labour Day, and also late January and find crowds lighter at those times. It's also value season so there are promos.
My adult daughter got the stomach flu twice at wdw, both times we were staying at AKL strange. So now she doesn't want to stay at AKL again good thing in 2013 AKL isn't in the plans. We're stayi g at FQ in Jan. and YC in Aug

Sorry to hear about your trip. I learned from this past trip that you can't really go by what people say in terms of crowd levels. I truly think that it's a gamble. Getting sick on a trip is one of my biggest fears. It seemed like everything that could go wrong did go wrong. We had a trip like that and decided to go back again to make up for our horrible trip. The following trip was amazing and I couldn't ask for more.

Sorry to hear about a rough trip. We always go in summer and we always fight crowds and we always get sick. May 2012 was the worst for that. So sorry.

So sorry to hear about your experiences in September. I have noticed formerly "slow" periods are now quite busy, but managing expectations is one thing while a substandard resort and illness are something else.

A man and his son were walking toward me at Epcot bag check. The father did nothing as the kid stuck his arm out, walked right at me, and almost hit me in the face. Best thing to do is forget these bad times and enjoy the good ones.

Disneyland was fun with flag retreat and pickles. I have a home here, thank you. GAC is NOT a "front of the line pass".

She is gone but keeping signature. Laundry is getting done. My purpose in life is to help poor people in FL. Farewell, will miss you.
