I have three children and they are all wonderful:goodvibes I do think that growing up with siblings will help shape their personalities. I can see them learning to be a great leaders, care givers, kind friends... all because of the siblings. They are all learning about negotiating and sharing...
I am always so pleasantly surprized at how easily Disney will accomodate those of us with food allergies. I wish the rest of the world was as knowledgeable as the chef's at WDW. I would caution you to have your meds with you as I saw a lot of families eating PBJ's in line at the rides and...
We rented at WH for the room but I would consider renting a townhome for just me and DH for lots of reasons..
1.) We just loved having a car to come and go as we please.. so no more Disney buses for us in the near future
2.) The huge comfortable bed with BIG plasma screen TV in Master Bed NICE...
Rope Drop followed by a late breakfast or early lunch is my favorite kind of day at Disney. Depending on the season you will have at 2/3 hours of fun at the parks and then be ready for a nice sit down meal.
Orton-Gillingham is a method of teaching that will help your son either at school or at home with you. Here are some good web sites. The summer is a great time to close the gap and get ready for next year. Remember he will have gifts in other areas even if he struggles in this area.:) The...
1.)Talk to the CM's they are extremely helpful. During our first trip, my daughter wanted to see Snow White so we ask the CM in Germany about her schedule. We knew exactly the time and spot for her arrival and got some fantastic one on one time with this princess before anyone else noticed...
How is he keeping up with the school work?
My son gets very fustrated when he is not keeping up with the class. He had some of problems last year (keeping hands to self, not listening, being disruptive) but this year he is doing great. We held him back, after much agony and debate, to...
We brought our 12 Month old to Disney and it was very easy and enjoyable. We did not do waterparks or Disney Quest so hopefully someone else can help you out with advice for those. We did not bring any toys for the baby and he was just fine playing with cups and spoons in the kitchen. I wouldn't...
We took our son for his 8th birthday because he was REALLY REALLY into it especially after seeing the Indiana Jones Show at Disney Studios this spring and he loved it. He is VERY into Star Wars and Indiana Jones and has seen all of the previous movies. I was concerned but in the end he was more...
You might consider having a "nothing planned or no park" day in the middle of your vacation to just enjoy the pool, resort, downtown disney. We are always are glad to have a day with just down time as the parks are so overstimulating. I am not sure I would have enough energy to drive over to the...
We loved having a car and seriously will never go back to Disney without renting a car. It was SUPER easy and obvious to find your way from Windsor Hills to the Parks. You will love being able to come and go as you please.. with out lines. No worries.
My Daughter did Bibbie Bobbity Boutique for her 6th birthday and loved the whole experience. This is done either at downtown disney or in the castle at the Magic Kingdom and you can make an appointment via Disney Dinning (same phone number you made your Castle Meal reservation). There are...
I loved the response that every age/year is a different experience and that tomorrow is not guaranteed!
1st Trip - My Son was 5 going on 6 and my daughter just turned 4. We had a great time but it was my daughter's total fasnication with everyone that made the trip so fun. She was meeting THE...
I can't believe it has been a month since I have had time to update this trip report! It has been a busy time but I am going to finish up some thoughts here on our trip to the Studios.
As you probably don't remember at this point, we were skipping off to find the Jedi Training Academy when we...
Some Suggestions or food for thought
1.) Formally request the school to evaluate your son offically with a LD, before the end of the school year. This should put you first in line for the evaluation in Aug/Sept and on your way to qualify for special services. My son who is also dyslexic and...
Zzub, that didn't read like the last day of a trip report but the final sweet page in the series. Thank you for sharing your vacations and your journey with us. You should actually merge the various Battles into a single post as the words are more powerful together...similar to us, our community...
