Belated thanks to all for your advice and a (also belated) trip report!
How I looked forward to this first trip to WDW! (My last visit to a Disney property was the DLR in 2004. Many times, I planned a trip but one thing or another came up to prevent it.) There were four in our group: me, dh a.k.a. Tom, Daughter #2 and her boyfriend. The occasion: celebration of daughter and bf's graduation from college. The young'uns zipped around while Tom (who was about to undergo open-heart surgery - he's doing fine post-op now) and I took it nice and slow. Lodging: For us, the Polynesian turned out to be ideal. Atmosphere, transportation, eats - all dreamy. We were in Tuvalu, garden view, near the Luau Cove. Absolutely beautiful room on the 3rd floor. We loved:
Eats: Two highlights besides the luau:
Stuff I Didn't Like Much:
Stuff I Loved:
And in conclusion: Disneyland is the original and still the best. WDW fulfilled our tropical dreams and showed us all a really fun time.

Glad you had a wonderful trip. We decided we're not Epcot fans either.

I am glad to hear you had a good trip and more importantly that surgery went well.
We didn't enjoy Epcot either but to be fair we only gave it half a day.

I'm sad to hear everybody hates EPCOT- I loved it and want to go back.

We need to walk around all the countries next time but we were bored/unimpressed with rides/shows. Of course that was like 10 years ago too. I think there was too many parks to fit in, we prefer Disneyland.

Personally, Epcot doesn't do anything for me and I'd probably never go there alone.
But I am always there with friends and I essentially think of it as the world's longest food court. |

I'm actually cheered by all the Epcot hate. IMO, it was destroyed in 1995, and I haven't been back since. From its inception until then, it was my hands-down favorite Disney part - beating out Disneyland even - and I'm happy no one seems to like it anymore.
