Entry FeedIt cost US$483 and took 1 hour and 20 minutes to get into Disney World's Magic Kingdom.
The day wasn't starting out so good. At the first attraction, we actually had a 50+ year old man and his wife bud in front of us in line, and then stare me down daring me to say something. I didn't, of course, I am Canadian.
Is Disney World really the happiest place on earth? I would bet that if you did an exit survey, at least 50% of kids 10 and under would have cried at least once. Parents should be forced to consume prozac on entry, and random shots of tequila throughout the day.
On the plus side, the Fast Pass is a great idea. Food wasn't as crazy expensive as I expected, and as it also wasn't very good, the kids really didn't ask for much.
Each child picked one souvenir - Daughter got a Minnie Mouse purse, Son One a Mickey Pirates of the Caribbean Towel, and Son Two picked another Balzac Ball, but really big this time.
Favourite rides? Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain. Space Mountain was a little fast. Daughter's favourite was "It's a Small World" for the second visit in a row.
Best advice? Wait until your kids are over 40" to maximize ride options. Daughter was often bored waiting for the brothers, especially given the average waiting time was about 30 minutes without a Fast Pass.
The kids didn't want to meet any of the characters, which is actually a good thing as they are often hard to find and there are line-ups for pictures and autographs. However, we did see the Parade of Lights and everyone enjoyed that.
I have to say, for the most part, Disney really has its stuff together. Cast members, hosts, and employees are everywhere, very friendly and as helpful as they can be.
This was our third visit since we had kids. We keep saying that it will be a long time before we come back. The current plan is when Daughter is 8, but who knows. Maybe that crazy mouse will call us back sooner.
