    Travel Agent ? or Disney Site?

    We've used our AAA agent for years, and while DW and I are both great at planning Disney Trips, the primary reason we still use her, is that when deals like 30% off or Free Dining come out, she will spend an entire day on the phone to get it added to our reservation. I just cannot devote that...

    I am beginning to lose hope...

    I think this is honestly a big part of this. Trying to level the playing field...

    After our experience on our Christmas trip. We may never go back to Disneyworld !

    I'm confused, why would that experience make you feel like never going back to WDW?

    Favorite hiden gems

    One of my favorite things to do, is ride the entire Monorail loop. MK and Resort one, and then switching at TTC to the Epcot loop. I love it. But then again, the Monorail is my favorite WDW ride!

    Disney world vacation length?

    We've done 5 days, 6, 7, 9 and we're about to a do a quick 3 day surprise trip. We've been so many times, and the kids are getting older now that we can hit the parks hard for 3 days and not feel like we got short changed. My favorite vacation was the 9 days, but we had 9 days in the parks...

    WL vs POFQ

    Like you, we have stayed at POFQ many times and we absolutely love it there, but are trying WL for our upcoming trip. With the 30% Room only discount, and having such a short trip, and no dining plan, it really wasn't very much to upgrade to WL, so we decided to give it a try. I don't...

    Port Orleans French Quarter- how was your experience?

    We were there in 2011 right after the completion of the renovation. It was even more beautiful than it was in 2009. We were there again in 2013, and still adore POFQ. We've walked over to POR, but have never stayed there. POFQ is our favorite resort, it just feels like home when we're there...

    Agent P's World Showcase Adventure/Epcot?

    Absolutely, very cool. DS11 had just turned 10 when we went, and DD6 was 5 and they were both totally into it. It's a great way to get them to WANT to spend time in the world showcase.

    Why do you love Port Orleans French Quarter?

    I will tell you that I NEVER felt the pool was EVER anywhere nearly as busy as the Hippy Dippy Pool at POP. It seems quite a bit larger too. We have been there in November several times, and August once. I despise being hot, and we usually have long cold winters in New York, so we often go in...

    We're going to visit in-laws in Ft. Myers over President's Day week, spending a few days there, and then driving up to Orlando for short 3 night trip. Kids don't know. We're going to hand them their Magic Bands somewhere on the 2.5 hr drive from Ft. Myers towards Orlando. Can't wait to...

    Would you pull your kids out of school for a Disney vacation?

    Precisely...there's more to life (and learning,) than just school.

    Would you pull your kids out of school for a Disney vacation?

    School is very much a priority in our home as well. My DS11 is in an accelerated learning enrichment school. And my DS6 will be going to that same school next year when she's old enough to enroll. I'm not comparing it to sickness, simply that missing school, whether for illness or...

    Would you pull your kids out of school for a Disney vacation?

    We have, many times, and will continue to do so. I have to chuckle at those who say they would NEVER, or it would depend on if the school district doesn't allow it. Or that vacations can't be educational. First, these are YOUR children. You do what you feel is best for them. I was...
