We were just in Disney for a few days and went to Animal Kingdom the first day and it is THE BEST PARK TO CATCH ALL THE CHARACERS! We met Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Chip and Dale, and Thumper all in about 30 minutes in the Camp Mickey section of the park. It was a dream!

In the past, we've stood inline for a long time at Magic Kingdom to meet Mickey and Minnie in their tent in toontown and didnt have to deal with any of that this time since we had seen all the big characters our first day.

So we did about twice as much as we normally do at Magic Kindgom becuase the kids weren't worried about seeing all the characters.

And if you are looking for a great hotel check out the Courtyard Marriot in Lake Buena Vista....just a few minutes from the parks. Very nice....great resort style pool. I got a great deal on mousesavers.com that included breakfast every monring and a $25 resort creidt that we used in their food court.

Hope this helps someone!
