My best friend and I were there last Sunday and it was totally packed. I have never been at DL with a crowd that large. We had a good time, but it was very crowded. But a crowded day at DL is better than any day at work!

I have a 12-year-old daughter and she would definitely think you are a cool uncle! She will wear ears at DL, but only if she thought she wouldn't see anyone who might think she is "uncool". What she would like the best is having two adults dote on her and make the trip about her. That is...

We did this tour with our family and we really enjoyed it. You wear headphones and get to hear Walt describe things in Disneyland. My girls were 12 and 10 at the time. We are interested in all things Disney so it was great for us. It was a nice pace and interesting information.

I found out that I get to go to Disneyland in March 2014 because I'm being sent to a convention at the Hyatt Orange County! I am so happy because southern Ohio in March is wet and dreary. Can't wait to get to the southern Cali sunshine! Does anyone know if St. Patrick's Day is special in...

I forgot to mention about things we purchased. We bought some beautiful silk, pearls, jade, chopsticks, name chops for our kids, a majong set, silk dresses for the kids and some other little things. I'm very glad I bought the silk because I use it for decorating in our house. I'm also glad we...

We have been to China four times, and on the ABD China trip twice (its a really long story...). I would certainly recommend to take toilet paper with you. Every time we have been to China it has been EXTREMELY hot and humid so dressing for comfort is a must. My advice would be to try...

Our family was formed by adoption. I don't know the answers to your questions (although the person who posted about China being adverse to allowing gay couples to adopt is absolutely correct.) but I wanted to encourage you on your journey. I've had people ask me if I wanted to have "my own...

We were able to get reservations right before our trip. We didn't have them very far in advance at all. I highly recommend this experience. We did it on the last day of our vacation and it was spectacular.

I have a two girls (finishing 4th and 6th grades). They both really like the American Girl magazine. It has info on all kinds of tween issues and they both read it cover to cover. They also like Discovery Girl magazine. It is similar to American Girl, but a little more "hip". The other one...

Thanks for the responses! Has anyone had experience with kids on the tour? We have two daughters. I think the older one will be interested, and the younger will wish she was riding Space Mountain! Did you have any trouble hearing the guide during the tour? I imagine it could get difficult...

Hi! We are going to DL for the first time next month. For Mother's Day my family gave me the tour "Walk in Walt's Footsteps". I tried to search for information on the Dis, but everything was older (2009). Has anyone been on this tour recently? We are getting really excited. We are staying...

Oh, and I wanted to mention that the beds during our adoption trips were very hard. The beds on the ABD trip are not the same. The ABD hotels are the highest luxury possible. They are extremely comfortable. It was very different than the adoption trips. Luxury is key during the ABD trip...

We have been to China four times (two adoption trips, and two vacations) Each trip was in July and each trip was exceptionally HOT. The most recent trip a heat record was set in Beijing the day we toured the Forbidden City. It was 106 degrees with very high humidity. It is HOT! The ABD...

Okay, I'll share another one. On our youngest daugther's first trip when she was three years old, she was completely obsessed with Cinderella. The first thing we did was go to the castle for lunch. We walked around the corner and saw Cinderella and yelled at the top of her lungs...

I had one of the greatest experiences at WDW during our last visit. We were getting ready to get on the boat to MK for EMH. My youngest daughter said that her tummy hurt so she and my DH returned to Wilderness Lodge. My older daughter and I decided to go to MK alone. Having that...

Thank you for sharing your joy! I'm really happy for you. I hope you love your new job!!:)

My kids are older, but we just booked the Disney Dream for January 2012. Maybe be can OCD plan together. We have always included our kids in everything we do. We got lucky and have really great kids, but we don't let having kids slow us down. They are great at travelling and love a good...

We got it for Christmas, but today was our first day playing. I can't figure out a ding dong thing, but our kids are loving it. They are used to Mario games, so this one is something different. Has anyone figured out if two people can play at the same time? The kids are passing the remote...

Congratulations! Adoption is the greatest gift we have ever received. We have adopted twice. The reality is that it takes a long time and the timeline you imagine seems to always expand. No one has ever adopted by accident! Our first adoption was supposed to take 6 months, but there were...

Jenn, Thanks for sharing. She is an absolutely beautiful baby! I can tell she has a nice disposition from the beautiful smile. What a fantastic gift! I can also tell you are already enjoying having a daughter! They are the BEST! So happy for you!
