We had a great trip to WDW....Two days at MK with a Touring Plans Level One crowd level and one with a Five level...DHS one day with a Three level and one with a Five level. The other 5 days at the various parks weren't bad either. Amazing low crowds for June, perhaps the best ever. Even Sept. usually doesn't get those numbers. Seems like a lot of the fake/fraudulent disability users were purged from the lightening lines (according to insiders they were comprising up to 80% of the lightening lines). Almost all EV's were in the standby lines, instead of the lightening lane. Standby seemed to move much better than last year's vacation. So that might have had a lot to do with the low wait times. I never expected the standby line times we encountered. Slinky Dog (three rides), which the girls loved, was probably the only long lines we experienced. We never used the way too complicated, and not worth it, Genie+ BS.....Tiana looks beautiful, especially in the dark, but it seemed to constantly break down during the media and AP soft opening.
Glad you had a great trip! This sounds like a great time of year to visit, but the heat intimidates me a bit. These wait times sound lovely though.

We were lucky and hit it just right. And the projected bad rains stayed a bit south. Historically that's a fairly busy two weeks crowd level and we only went in June because the girls just got out of school. Two days were real hot but the others were about the same we experience in April/May vacations. It's actually hotter here in the western Pa. area this week than Orlando was overall. We were getting on ROTR in mid afternoon in 25 to 30 minutes. Space Mountain in mid afternoon in 15 minutes twice. POTC walk on every time. FOP 35 minutes. First time with kids along, so we didn't have our usual bar and relaxation times. But it was great to see the amazed looks and big smiles on the girls (10 &11) faces for just about every attraction and the shows, most especially the three night shows. This was their first trip to Disney. Previously, their only park experience was the 5 or 6 times we took them to Kennywood Park over the years.
