    Are we crazy!?

    Thanks to everyone for your kind words and birthday wishes! I wish you could all be there! We are so excited and just happy to be going! We'll make the most of it - even with the heat and the crowds! And maybe some bad weather from Emily :)

    Monorail playset

    Just be careful with the toy if you purchase it. The doors come off VERY easily, you can't see the characters once you place them inside and the batteries run out pretty quickly. Our kids were a few years younger when we got ours, so maybe that contributed to it's demise :) It's great around...

    Are we crazy!?

    We just booked a stay this afternoon starting tomorrow through Monday! It's a last minute trip since my husband is in the Navy and doesn't always know when he'll have time off. My daughter's 8th birthday is this weekend and we are so excited!! How are the crowds this week? We've never been...

    Just wondering - why would it be heavier this year? We've never been during President's Week and I'm nervous about the heavy crowds expected.

    School Cancelations for President's Week

    I am wondering how many school districts have canceled winter vacation week (Feb. 21-25) to make up for snow days. I know ours has. I am nervous about the crowds that week at Disney. We've never been to Disney on days they plan for 9 out of 10 and 10 out of 10 crowd numbers. We have had this...

    How different will MK be in February 2011?

    Thanks for the information! I knew how to look for a list of rehabs, I was just wondering what it would be like in February - if anyone knew! Just wondering what to expect! Thanks again...

    How different will MK be in February 2011?

    I know there is a lot of information about the changes to Fantasyland, but most of what I've been reading is about what people want to see change and what they don't. I just want to know what all will be closed down and changed by our trip in February 2011! Will there be anything new about...

    Which H2O park for us?

    Our kids are now 6 and 5 and we have been to both in the past 2 years. We definitely liked Blizzard Beach better! We didn't dislike Typhoon Lagoon, but we found BB had a lot more to offer the little ones! We liked the theming better too. Teamboat Springs was awesome, the kids had so much fun...

    Should we stay at Shades of Green?

    Has anyone ever stayed at Disney Resorts and then switched to Shades of Green? There are some pretty big differences, so I'm worried we won't like it as much as the Disney Resorts we've stayed at.

    Should we stay at Shades of Green?

    Tell me good and bad things about Shades of Green, please! We have never stayed there even though my husband is in the Navy. We are considering it for our next Disney vacation when he returns from deployment. We've heard good things about it from friends, but they aren't families who have...

    Took the plunge...into Doubloon Lagoon at the POFQ

    You will truly enjoy POFQ! It's small and quiet, yet fun at the pool and listening to live music at the bar. We LOVE it and now our families love it too!

    Military Discount Ticket Question

    Have your sister call their local ITT (Information and Tickets) at their base. We are Navy and we have an ITT office at every base. They will definitely know the answer to this question. She can also purchase his ticket (if it's decided that he can use the military ticket) at the ITT office...

    Animal Kingdom Lodge???

    We are planning a trip for next February (after my husband comes home from deployment) and are trying to decide where we want to stay. We've stayed at POFQ, Caribbean Beach and the Polynesian. We LOVE being on the monorail for ease and convenience by staying at POLY, but we were thinking of...

    Looking for ideas to switch it up this time! :)

    Just thought about this - We have friends who just returned from a short trip to Disney. They have always done the 7 day trips too, but had to cut it short this time too due to budget. They decided to stay at Pop Century (loved it!) for the 1st time. They usually stay at moderates or...

    Looking for ideas to switch it up this time! :)

    Definitely try different character meals. Are there some rides you've never done? Would your kids be interested in searching for Hidden Mickeys? Maybe you could do a character search for specific characters. We've always done autograph books for the characters we meet - some we bought...

    Skipping Animal Kingdom

    We were not too big on AK the first couple of trips, but we've grown to really like it. There are so many neat spots to sit and eat and soak up the atmosphere. Our kids LOVE Kali River Rapids and we've seen the Lion King show several times. There are some great places to meet characters and...
