The rain clouds on the forecast look ominous, but usually they mean only a brief shower in the afternoon. Florida is known for crazy rain storms that hit in the early afternoon and are gone as soon as they appear. Grab a show or lunch during the storm and head back out! Wishing you sunny days!

A musician friend loves the app that turns the pages! Some of my students who run tech at the local arts center actually assisted Disney techs with the production of some scenes for a Jennifer Garner movie that was being shot here back in March. They said that the charter bus arrived with...

I took my boys to Cirque at ages 4 & 6 and they loved it! We are going back Saturday night and they are looking forward to it (now 5 & 7). We looked at MNSSHP, but like you, we had done it before. And, as much as we love the parade, we just didn't want to spend the money to get into a park...

That's great news!! I'm bringing 11 teenagers (plus my own fam) Saturday for a week of the Disney YES program. The last time we did the YES program was Feb 2010 when President's Week corresponded with Mardi Gras. :sad2: Won't be doing that again. Knowing September is a great time for WDW...

As a high school TV Production teacher, I live in the world of technology and teenagers (yes, that can be a scary place!). We recently purchased some iPads for my program to work as remote tele-prompters, and I have changed my opinion of them. Think of the iPad (or any of the devices you...

My 3 and 6 year olds loved it. We went on our busiest day so they were exhausted and both fell asleep. But, they fought sleep hard!! They wanted to watch so badly! We'll go again. :)

Next year, Easter is not until late April (24th...or in that vicinity). How does a late Easter affect early April crowds? I understand that spring crowds are higher during Easter week, but does that hold true when it's so late? I ask because our break is always the first week in April...

Just returned with 16 teenagers, 7 chaperones and 2 under the age of 6. We participated in the YES program. The crowds were thick. I'm planning next years trip for our September or spring break. I wasn't thinking about mardi gras when we booked! But we still had a blast!

a1tinkfans: I will check my files at school tomorrow for the phone #. (someone may have already posted...but I haven't read through all the posts). The leadership class may be better in a quieter time period. Our leaders was very soft spoken and talked to the kids like they were...well...

Just returned from a week with 16 teenagers & 7 chaperones participating in the YES program. We did Animation Magic, Leadership, Showbiz Magic at La Nouba, and Images with Impact. Overall, it was a great experience! The backstage look at La Nouba and the Images (photojournalism) classes...

I grew up in Marietta (Cobb County) and now live just east in Woodstock (Cherokee County). Both are north of ATL and convenient to everything. Housing prices are primo now. We just came in from looking at a townhome for my FIL. They are priced at $295. My parents bought one very similar...

Is this program still available???

Just returned from taking 16 teenagers, 7 chaperones, and my 2 little ones (3 & 6) to participate in the YES (youth education) program. We had a blast! We did 4 classes: Animation Magic, Leadership, Images with Impact, and Showbiz Magic (behind the scenes at Cirque du Soleil) They were...

My youngest was about that size at 2.5 and I used a Hotsling. Its one of the fabric ones that folds up really small. I used it primarily in ride lines and it was a life saver! I have a minor back injury, and the sling was able to distribute the weight enough to make holding him work. When...

You may want to look for some that have you click for specifics. I found Project Linus that way. They collect handmade blankets for children in hospitals and shelters. This is something that my son (6) will be able to help with and I love the fact that it benefits a child. I almost...

Right outside the door of the gift shop in Dinoland USA, there is a little path that circles round. Its like a little secluded path through the forest. They have dinosaur statues along the path and dino noises, which are pretty soft. We usually take a break on the bench and let the kids play...

Heavens no, not you. You offered advice on where to be extra watchful and thoughts on what has worked for you. It was other posts about how one should never lose their child that "ruffled my feathers". Sorry if you thought otherwise!!! :)

How dare ANYONE suggest that a parent is always lacking in attention if a child gets lost. They are no better..it just hasn't happened to them...yet. My son went up one side of the Boneyard play structure and though I thought I had a good vantage point of all the slides, he managed to get past...

We booked our September trip early without the DP. Then, when FD came out, I called and they applied it to the reservation. The CM I had wanted the offer code...not sure if all of them asked for it. But, having been on the boards, I had it, so it wasn't a problem.

Ha Ha Ha!!! Thanks so much! So, before I drag 20 kids with me...the busses will run at 7AM for a 9AM park opening? I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but I don't want to look like the clueless teacher standing at the bus stop at 7AM...waiting. ;)
