Hmm, two pieces of the Disney portion of the trip that neither of us has mentioned: Disney Village and Disney Studios Park.
The much maligned Studios Park was in some ways far better than I expected, but in many ways just as bad as you've heard. What there is to do there is rather entertaining, and the entry building is beautiful (it's what Hollywood and Dine should have been). But there's simply not enough to do (we did the whole park in about 4 hours. It literally is the size of a land), too much of what there is to do is shows, and the theming is completely nonexistent. It makes Hollywood Picture Backlot look like the Indy queue in comparison. And their "backlot tram tour"....yikes.
But even with that...I'll take the Studios over Disney Village any day of the week. Holy god what a craptacular travesty that is. 100 yards of pure ugly and unadulterated tack. The fact that it's got the Disney name on it is shameful. It needs to be bulldozed.
