Just Returned 8/3
Wow, what a week in WDW. Flew down on 7/26 and returned home 8/3. Lets start with the crowds, busy but manageable, if you have the right FP+ you are in good shape. I will say the the 7DM offers 2 great features, first it is a great but short ride, could have used another minute on the track. The second great feature is that at RD everyone runs to it leaving the rest of the park untouched. One morning, we had SM twice, Buzz twice, HM, JC, PofC, BT and SpM all done by 11am, then went on 7DM using my FP+ with no wait. Had great experiences at the other parks as well. At DHS, the Frozen Summer Fun was a huge hit with my family, they got front row seats for the procession and all the ice cream they could eat. Then the Sing A Long was fun for them, but the dessert party/fireworks show were awesome(not to mention the Blue Island Punch). At AK for some reason EE was no longer than 15 min all morning< so we hit it 4 times in a row( real wait time was about 5 min).
Now on to meals, had great meals all week, start with dinners, we ate at Nine Dragons, Be Our Guest, O'hana, Coral Reef, Mama Melrose, Captain's Grille, California Grill and Liberty Tree Tavern. The steak at Mama Melrose was one of the best I have ever tasted. Quick service was good, Electric Umbrella(Pesto Flatbread is out of this world) Yak & Yeti, Sunshine Seasons, Liberty Inn, Harbor House, Caseys, and Tartuga Tavern.
We also did some tours, DiveQuest, just awesome and Wild African Trek, both well worth the money.
Transportation was good going to the parks, but for some reason Riverside always had 500 more people in line than any other resort at park closing.
A few things i would suggest to Disney, 2 new tours, A kitchen tour that show the prep areas, cooking areas and storage areas. I know all foodies would love something like this. The second and i know this will never happen is a overnight tour of how they get the parks ready for the next day.
One negative I saw and it was the people in the lines peeling the paint off the walls, I saw this in 2 attractions and it just bothered me.
PS Memory Maker Photos are so worth it, they get multiple shots of the kids with the characters that I could never get. Already planning the next trip.

Great report thanks. Mama Melrose is quickly becoming our favorite place to eat again. After years of being so so, they have stepped up their game. The last four or five trips, it has been our best meal.
My first home is in Coastal Georgia, 30 feet from the saltwater marsh, and 3.5 hours from WDW!My second home is the Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort!CR,Poly,GF,BC,BW,WL,AKL,Dolphin,Swan,DL,CSR,POFQ,C BR,POP,AS,Vero.
