Spent Nov 7 thru Nov 16 at Port Orleans French Quarter. Weather was great- few hot days and the pool area is fun. The launchs to Disney Springs are so convenient. Staff in the food court were doing a great job keeping tables open but one issue - have to clean off our trays and put dishes, food waste, trash into receptacles however folks were not all very tidy and there was food and trash on the floor - again, staff were doing the best they could but it was not pleasant.

Pretty much stayed away from “red” park days but it was more crowded then we remembered when we have gone in fall before. We went to the 3rd Christmas Party and that was not too crowded. Parade was excellent but to be honest much prefer the Halloween Party. Paid the xtra for the Jingle Jam Dessert Party at Hollywood Studios and would not do that again nor would do the Dessert Party at the Magic Kingdom with Garden View again. Loved the fireworks at Hollywood Studio but not a fan of the projections

have never seen the bathrooms looking so bad - felt bad for the attendants that were trying to keep up with everything.

Food and Wine was excellent at Epcot- stayed away on the weekends went on a Thursday and a Monday in the early afternoon and it was great.

Granddaughters love the princesses and we went to The restaurant in Norway - the Princesses seemed disinterested and rushed and we do not clamor for attention but rather wait our turn and the girls are well behaved. We have done this character meal 3 times prior and have had a great experience so maybe just a bad night but will not go back.

The restaurant at the Campground (trails end) was excellent - had never gone there before and as usual a great experience at Be Our Guest.

Multiple trips to Disney and not sure if it was the crowds or what but am in no hurry to return and usually LOVE Disney

Thanks for the report. I think the crowds likely did impact your enjoyment, as did the inconsistent customer service that is becoming the new normal for Disney. Maybe take a break for a few years, then go back. Or maybe try Disneyland next time- something a little different.

Can I ask why you wouldn't do the jingle jam dessert party again? We've booked it and there is 5 of us so obviously quite expensive,

Do you remember what savoury food there was? I know last yr they had meatballs flatbread with dips and winterslaw with a salad type mix, I'm hoping they savoury items again as one of ours doesn't eat much sweet stuff.
And might secretly be hoping for the gingerbread martini to be there.

They had a spinach dip with chips but the rest was desserts. I did not think it was worth the cost
