    YOAMD Postcards and Winners

    After over a year of sending postcards - I finally one! I got 2 sets of Mouse Ears, about 2 weeks apart! I was so excited. :goodvibes And I've also had a few post cards sent to me, instead of to Disney. I have no idea why that happens.

    When is your Spring Break 2009?

    My friend is a teacher here in Pittsburgh, PA - her Spring Break next year is the first week of April. This past year it was in March - it moves to be closer to Easter usually. But it is not the week of Easter, it's the week before.

    march or april?

    I always go in March, and typically it's tolerable crowds. This past year though, with Easter, the crowds were ridiculous. I couldn't even deal w/being in the parks because I was not used to crowds this big there. I would say Easter made a huge difference in crowd size, and if you can avoid...

    What are some little Tips that can make all the difference??

    When leaving the Magic Kingdom after Wishes, take the Resort Monorail instead of the regular monorail. It also goes to the parking lot, but most people don't know this. The wait for the resort monorail will be far less than the regular monorail that most people wait for! This one was given...

    Hidden Mickeys Guide

    I know they sell it at Disney's Wonderful World of Memories in Downtown Disney ~ it's the scrapbooking store w/all the photo albums & frames. I've seen it in many other places too - in the parks & in DTD. You can also get it at just about every major bookstore & at amazon.com Just make...

    Stitch ?'s

    I met Stitch with Lilo at the Animal Kingdom in July of 07. They were right around the first bend when you walk in. I also saw them in MK this past March a few times in Tomorrowland. Ohana breakfast is another option, as others have said, but I think he's a fairly common character in the...

    What Time Did you get Dreamed?

    I've never seen a Dream Squad member, never seen a dream given out, and never won anything in 8 trips during the YOAMD :confused3 But...I always go into the parks around noon and stay until the nightly shows. So maybe it makes sense that the dreams are given out early, and that's why I've...

    Everest

    I have a fear of heights too - I won't ride Tower of Terror or Splash Mountain, but Everest is one of my favorite rides in WDW. I love it! I also like BTMR, so if you like that, you'll do fine on Everest. No major drops which is great, and the theming makes it unlike any other ride. ;)

    Will you be dancing with your Cinderella(s)?

    I hadn't heard about this, and I have never heard the song - but I just cried through that entire video, including the interview with him afterwards. I tend to cry over anything emotional, but I'm in the middle of picking a father/daughter song for my Disney wedding, and this just hit me very...

    1st Family Trip - How Many Days at Each Park???

    Hi Cris! With girls your age, definitely leave yourself the most amount of time for MK. It has the most things to do and is the most popular park, especially for kids. You'll need to allot yourself extra time to get everything done here. I would recommend visiting Fantasyland very early or...

    Souveniers you wish they sold.....

    I wish they sold a recipe book for their ESPN Club - because it's a different menu from the ESPN zones. There's a few things I love, but I can't find the recipes in any of the WDW cookbooks! Also, I wish the Disney home store in DTD sold more Tink kitchen stuff, rather than all Mickey head...

    Can you improve your chances???

    There's nothing you can do to increase your odds of winning the major prizes, but Disney is great about making special little magic things happen to a lot of people. If you're celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary, birthday, first visit, etc. - and they know it, they'll do little things to make...

    Best Time to go in Summer? Please help!

    I'm going to echo that the first week of June or last week of August are the best because a lot of people are still in school the first week of June, and a lot have gone back by the last week of August. I've been there both weeks, and my general analysis is that the crowds were about equal...
