    world of harry potter for a first grader

    We just got back from IOA and I have a 7 yr old son in Grade 1. He's 49 inches tall and loves rides. He was able to do the castle ride and he adored it. We all did. It was fantastic. But if your child doesn't like coasters, motion simulator rides or 3D images then this isn't for them. We did...

    Points for Member getaways

    We are currently looking at buying a small (50pt) DVC contract. We want to pay cash and that's what we are comfortable with for the time being. We've done Disney for the last 3 years and plan on taking a break next year. So the next time we'll be back is 2012. We figure we'll do Disney every...

    Day 11 Castaway Cay Spolier Alert : WE MADE IT!!! Ok, so the one bad thing about being in an inside stateroom is that you don’t know what the weather is like when you wake up. You have to wait for everyone to be up showered, teeth brushed and dressed before you get your first glimpse. So...

    DAY 10 Nassau Day Woke up nice & early and headed to breakfast at Beach Blanket. Nice breakfast selection and a fresh omelette/egg selection. I was dreading the coffee based on what everyone says but it wasn’t terrible. Percolated coffee is percolated coffee imho. Right after breakfast...

    DAY 9 – To the WONDER!! The day started grey & cloudy – it looked like the sun might pierce through at certain points but it was not to be. Continental Breakfast was included at the hotel and after we went to check out the Cocoa Beach Pier. We walked to the end and made friends with all...

    Day 6 Animal Kingdom aka could it get any colder? Ok I think it was about 10 degrees (Celsius) this morning when we left the condo. Pants/sweaters and windbreakers were the order of today. And it’s a really humid cold too. All of our hands felt really clammy and cold in the morning, not...

    BBB coming to one of the new Cruise ships!

    You might be absolutely right! When our FG said the new cruise ship, I assumed the Dream because the Fantasy dates just seem so far away. Although I did say "the Dream" and she said yes. Mmm well I don't want to mislead anyone so I think I'll go ahead and update the title of this thread to BBB...

    Day 4 Tues Mar 16 Today was an easy day. We figured after an evening of Fantasmic followed by a day of Epcot that everyone would be tired. It was nice having a relaxing day. I had hoped today would be a swimming day. DH and DS got in the water for about 2.5 seconds and then got out. I think...

    Day 3 We made it to Epcot for 9am and went to Spaceship Earth first. This was my first time on the ride, last year the family with the IL did it while I went to get the Soarin FP’s. I love this ride. Really very cool and the bit at the end on the screen is hilarious. DD thought it was awesome...

    Windsor Hill main pool - is it warm enough to swim now?

    Like everyone else about to head down, I am anxiously watching the weather. I am preparing myself to a jean/sweater vacation but am hoping for some warm Florida sunshine! Has anyone been in the last month or so and can you comment on whether the main pool at WH was heated enough to swim? I...
