    Money for kids?

    My kids (6 and 5) have known since January that we are going to Disney in Aug. Their birthdays are in Jan and Feb. We made a deal with them that they could either have a birthday party at one of the local kid birthday party venues and invite all of their friends OR we could have a low key...

    Bummed Out! Is March really that bad?

    Last year we went during Spring Break around the middle of March and while it was crowded, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Just have your plan and strategies in place and you shouldn't have a problem at all.

    is it even worth going during Spring Break?

    We went last year during Spring Break and while it was crowded, it really wasn't that bad. I'd say go for it!

    Stroller for 5yo?

    My kids will be 5 and 6 when we go in August and we're not bringing one this year. We did last year and while it was nice and we did use it a lot, it was a PITA to get it on the busses. I'm thinking this year if we get to where we really need one, we'll just rent one and then not have to take...

    Would it be unforgivably tacky if...?

    I have a 5 and 6 year old and personally wouldn't allow them to play their video games during dinner because I believe it's family time and they need to learn to behave and use good manners, etc. That's just me though, and I respect that others have different parenting styles and expectations...

    parade ettiquitte...

    I agree, with the exception of bathroom breaks or one person going to get a snack or something, the whole family/party should save their own spots. We are a family of 2 adults and kids 4 and 5 yrs old. We generally find a spot early and sit there talking, playing with little toys they brought...

    Price quote online with PIN code?

    I got a room discount PIN and just went to the website and looked up the prices of room only and then used a calculator to determine the discount. Then I would price the package with the same resort and number of days, and subtract the discount amount. I did that using several different...

    Ways to Add a Little Extra Magic?

    when we went last year, "Tinkerbell" left the kids little toys or treats and a note telling them to have a great day in the parks each night for them to find when they woke up in the morning. It was all Disney themed like caps, hair accessories, playing cards, pens, etc. They loved getting...

    Cancelling trip question :(

    I was under the impression that you could make any changes including canceling more than 45 days ahead of your trip. If you wish to make changes within the 45 days there would be a cancellation fee, but I don't know what that is. I'm sorry you have to cancel : (

    Am I being selfish and irresponsible?

    I'm glad your dh is coming around. Just a suggestion, have you considered watching 1-2 kids during the day to make some extra money for your trip?

    Sort of OT: Hernia surgery?

    My dh had to have 2 hernia surgeries in the same place in just about 2 years, not fun at all! The first one wasn't too bad from what I remember, although this was like 10 years ago. I seem to remember that he couldn't lift more than 5 lbs for several weeks. I remember because when we went...

    Not-so-great POP experience

    Holy crap! (sorry, couldn't resist), but seriously that is gross and I would have totally made a complaint about the poo; that is just unacceptable.

    Adoption Questions

    My son is adopted from Korea. We got him when he was 11 months and he's almost 5 now. We also have a daughter who just turned 4 that is our bio kid. I agree that the adoption journey can be very overwhelming, but your heart will lead you in the right direction. One site I found very helpful...
