Thanks very much. This does make a difference because we were just going to have one of us take him and the other parent stay with his 2 older brothers in the park. Good to know it won't cost us $60 just to watch him race for 2 minutes!

I went ahead and registered him. He is 8 so it is 400 meters--very doable. Website says they are 95% full for the kids races. The Kids' Mile is totally full. I think he will have a good time. Apparently spectators pay $12 to enter the sports complex, but we are leaning toward adding on...

Thanks! Obviously I have no clue about all this stuff!! I did sign up my 8yo for the kids run though. I think it will be fun! Good to know I won't have to switch our AK day.

Anyone know anything about Mickey's Marathon Kids' Fest on 1/9 and 1/10? I was thinking about letting my 8 yo do it. Would we all have to pay admission to the Sports Complex? (Assuming we don't have the waterpark fun & more add-on.)

After strategically planning out all my days, I'm a little concerned about the "Circle of Life" 5k run inside of AK on 1/9. It starts at 7am, and the website says there is no viewing inside the park. The start and end of the race are in the parking lot. So it looks like it won't be a problem...

Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll move our Boma ressie earlier in the week and plan on Tusker House for our last day. We could always skip it if we've had our fill of characters.

Bump! I've got the same question!

Okay, you've convinced me to make another change. I have ressies at Boma on an AK day, but after reading your TR and comparing the menus/prices at allears.net, I'm going to switch it to Tusker House. I had thought the kids were too old for character meals, but surpisingly enough they asked for...

Here's what I did for my ds8, ds12, and ds14 before our trip. I printed up the awesome countdown calendar someone here at the DIS board made. I cut Mickey heads out of post-it notes and put them around the edge so that the kids could take turns covering up one number each morning. I made a...

Mine arrived last week and it has a nice gold "invitation" with our last name on it. Several items I will be using for my scrapbook after we get back, since our trip is to celebrate my college graduation.

Thanks so much for the grocery list! I really didn't have to modify much because my boys are 8, 12, and 14 so they eat tons! Plus we are staying for 17 days, so I think your list was just about right. This really saved me lots of time. I had been procrastinating this task because it's not as...

Wow, thanks so much for all the details, Perla! Any chance you could post that grocery list? My husband and I and our 3 boys leave on 12/24 and have an off-site house like you did, but I don't plan on doing any "real" cooking. You are so organized, I just love you. My friends think I am so...

Thanks Little Monkey. We must think alike because I bought ICE tix for our other non-park day, 12/28. Thanks for replying, though!

We got the 10 day ticket and have a few extra days, so we decided to avoid the parks on NYE because of the crowds, and the fact that we plan to go to bed early for MK rope drop on New Years Day. So what would be a fun celebratory kind of thing to do earlier in the evening for a family with...

Any idea when the new events start? I'll be there through 1/9 and I only see Holiday and Year of a Million Dreams events scheduled. Our trip is actually to celebrate my college graduation, so I'd like to see some of these "What Will You Celebrate?" things.

Just wanted to make sure you saw my reply to the other thread. My dates are 12/28-1/11 and I'm emailing you my contact info. Thanks

Yes, please sign me up! I started a new thread because it looked like all the other share groups were full. My dates are 12/28 to 1/11. I'll get rid of the other thread. Thanks, Christine

Nevermind, I found the other thread! It won't let me post a link here though because I've not posted at least 10 times.

Hi, I'm new here. I'm going to a DCA preview day on January 25, but I'd really like to know a little about it before I go. (I really like the Bob Sehlinger "Unofficial Guides" with their ideas to see things most efficiently. I was at DL yesterday and asked for a map of DCA, but I just got the...
