Best and Worst

My sister introduced us to a dinner-time concept of listing our best and worst of the day. As we ate our last lunch at Disney, we all shared our best and worst regarding this much anticipated family vacation. My best and worst were very closely related. I wanted the kids to see and do EVERYTHING possible on what will most likely be our one and only family trip to Disney. In order for them to get to see and do everything, I had to do some major planning, and we all had to do some major scrambling to fit it all in. Everyone in my family was really sick of my very fast walking pace, and by the end wanted to slow things down. I was able to slow it down here and there, but my control issues were rearing their head on this trip. So, my best was that we went all out and truly got to experience all that Disney had to offer. My worst was that I rushed us all a bit too much in order to get it all in.

As for our favorite and least favorite aspects of Disney....here goes:
-The most unexpected delight was the musical water fountain at Epcot. It was incredible. All in all, Epcot was our favorite park.
-Sophie's favorite experience was the World Showcase at Epcot.
-Alex's favorite rides were Space Mountain and Rock n Roller Coaster.
-Ella's favorite was Test Track, Soarin' and Expedition Everest.
-Max's favorite ride was Rock n Roller Coaster and his favorite experience was World Showcase at Epcot.
-My favorite rides were Expedition Everest, Test Track, and Tower of Terror.
-John's favorite was getting to hang out with us all just playing...and the roller coasters.
-Our collective least favorite outing was going to Disney Quest. Our biggest disappointment was that the Hayao Miyazaki kiosk was no longer at the Japan showcase.
-Sophie's least favorite attraction was the Finding Nemo musical theatre show at Wild Kingdom.
-Alex's least favorite attraction was Honey I Shrunk the Audience at Epcot.
-Max's least favorite attraction was Finding Nemo at Wild Kingdom and all the walking.
-Ella's least favorite attraction was Honey I Shrunk the Audience at Epcot.
