Hi Nancy,
  >Were you here on the 4th??? My nephew is visiting and we decided to
Actually we flew out on the 4th.  We had visited the MK a couple of
times just to hit the attractions we wanted.  The crowds were miserable.
 Normally this is NOT the tome we visit WDW, but were close enough and
made the time to do it.

It was PACKED!!  WE did the stuff that was cool and no waits - TTA,
Dreamflight, CoP, etc.  The longest wait we allowed ourselves to do was
30 mins for BTM.  All of our other favorites we rode if less than 30
mins.  We would bail out of the park just after lunch and head back to
the DVC OKW or BW.
We also found MGM and Epcot to be much less crowded.

  >Hope you had a good time.
We ended up in a studio at the BW.  It was a bit tight for the 4 of us.
We had a 1 BR at OKW - much nicer.  We stayed on the Villa's side and
did not see the hotel side.  It was a lot of fun tho.  Did you see my
short trip report?  We ate at Spoodles and rented a Surrey and made the
tour around Crescent Lake.
I grabbed a menu from ESPN if you are interested in anything in
particular.
