We are also going that week, for DS's B-Day. With a good touring plan we managed very well New Year's weekend at WDW 2 years ago. Unfortunately I am lost with UO having never been there. Can anyone recommend some touring tips, to go opposite the crowds? Times of day for certain rides? Anything.

Thanks for all your input. I have brought up every single point mentioned here. I have no idea why DH is being so stubborn! It's really unusual too, as he usually trusts my research and/or agrees with me once I have presented my case if he can't logically refute it. This seems to be more of...

It seems it is currently vaulted, so you'll have to buy it on the aftermarket. I got a used copy on Amazon, but there were new copies available as well. http://www.amazon.com/Beauty-Beast-Special-Platinum-Paige/dp/B00003CX8Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1251731051&sr=8-1 I used Amazon over eBay...

I cannot work and also watch DS. When I go to work, I have to turn off all the house and mom stuff...no laundry or cleaning etc. However, a large part of my job is live phone calls, and I have to be able to have non-distracted quiet for talking with clients. We worked our schedules around so...

DS takes off any kind of bracelet or necklace, so we went with Tottoos

We took DS at 21 months, and found that he liked the rides, liked the characters, LOVED the fireworks, LOVED the playgrounds and fountains, LOVED the animals at AK...but was scared to tears by applause and cheering crowds...so all shows were out the rest of the trip. We still don't know what...

We went January 1-3 last year which was a Thursday through Saturday. DHS on the 1st was busy but not too bad at all. We got FPs for Toy Story right at opening MK on the 2nd was very, very crowded, but we managed well with a good touring plan and a laid back attitude AK on the 3rd was again...

At the beginning of the debate he brought up the 's' word, though he can't argue it from fact, only his 100% positive personal experiences, and I slammed it down with different experiences and hard data, so he never actually says it anymore. We debate everything in this way...including...

Yeah, what we've been doing is basically homeschooling, and I have said to DH "Look at how much he knows and has learned already. We can do this. We ARE doing this". He accuses me of putting my anti-school bias on to my son, and points out how he thrives in structured settings like TaeKwonDo...

Thanks graygables, that's what I was afraid of. Well, I still have time, I'll keep working on it until I find the argument that works with hubby. At least I am evaluating preschool curriculum, now, and can show him that DS already excels at what he would be working on.

If we had a Montessori based program here it would be my choice, assuming all other aspects of the schools were equal/comparable. Unfortunately the closest is about 40 minutes away.

Hello all! I am hoping you can share some experiences with me. DH and I have been discussing homeschooling since DS was only 2. We reached an impasse in that all the arguments I presented for homeschooling can't get past his personal need to "see it for himself". All he will agree to is that we...

We are considering maybe sending DS to preschool next year. I tend to research things to the nth degree and so have already narrowed it down to 2 schools. I find myself leaning toward the one with a comprehensive informational website and email address over the one with only a phone number...

When we went in January, the child swap pass stated that it was good for up to 3 riders...it doesn't matter who they are. Nobody even checked! My niece and even some adults got to ride twice, as only one of us had to stay with the baby.

We skipped baby food and cereals entirely and started DS on overcooked, fork mashed veggies and soft fruits at about 6.5 months. He was eating small chunks with his fingers within a month. This is what his pediatrician recommended, and it saved us a fortune in prepackaged foods. Don't...

Some kids are just late bloomers. I despaired for my niece, who was an excellent reader but didn't read for fun at the same ages I had. Suddenly she started reading for pleasure at around age 9 and now at 11 pretty much has a book with her at all times.

Our library allowed my 3yo to get his own card, I had to sign for him and accept responsibility of course. They seemed very pleased to start teaching him about the library so young, and are always super sweet and helpful to him. He has learned to check his own books out and back in, and ask the...

It really depends on what kinds of souvenirs you had in mind. We usually get an ornament and a coffee mug and maybe a T-shirt (from the clearance or sale rack). My mom gets magnets. None of these are very expensive. We splurged last visit on DS as it was his birthday and got him a Monorail...

Well, we get off property rooms for free, on my dad's hotel points. He travels 4 days a week for work, so racks them up pretty regularly. Last trip we had a 2 bedroom 2 bath suite with a full kitchen. Sometimes off property makes more sense for some people. However, if we didn't get free...

The last trip we took was New Years weekend. The timing couldn't be helped so I planned like a crazy person. Christmas Eve, DH's coworker/friend (the impulsive type) says "I think we'll take the RV and go to Disney with you". I was so proud, DH told him "Look, my wife takes Disney very...
