    I Am Doing This - TDL

    At Disney Sea we really enjoyed Restaurant Sakura... it was awesome. We also enjoyed Magellans. Kinda basic (pasta) but the kid's appreciated "normal food" haha. We also had our fare share of snacks. These were fun. Little cream filled dumplings. At Disneyland we enjoyed Queen of Hearts...

    I Am Doing This - TDL

    We just took the subway & trains around Kyoto. It was pretty easy to navigate. We studied the map before leaving the hotel to be sure we knew exactly where we were headed and found our way pretty easily. The worst part for us was that there were very few elevators in subway / train stations...

    I Am Doing This - TDL

    You'll have a wonderful time!! We went for 2 weeks in June 2014, it was the best trip EVER. Our friends thought we were crazy for dragging our 6 yo and 1 yo to Japan but I wouldn't trade that trip for anything. I'm dying to go back. We spent time in Tokyo, TDR & Kyoto. We had a private tour...

    Best Upgrade You've Ever Received?

    In 2009 we went to Disney for the first time as a family. DH and I had both been a few times growing up but never stayed on property (stayed with family in the area). The main point of the trip was for DH to run the marathon. I didn’t even know if my then 1 year old could enjoy any of the rides...

    Hi excited to be sailing with you all next year! This will be our 5th DCL cruise (gold whoo-hoo). It will be me & the hubby DD8 & DS3 along with my parents. We're planning to spend some time in GB before / after the cruise and hopefully squeeze in another trip to Disneyland Paris. Haven't really...

    Have you done a spur of the moment WDW trip?

    Yes!! Last Feb snow was predicted for Atlanta which meant the entire city was about to shut down. We got the call that school was canceled at noon, by 4 I had a reservation at Poly and by 7pm we were on the road! School was canceled 2 days and DD had a holiday (President's Day) so we ended up...

    GoPro Camera at the World

    I used iMovie. It's pretty simple. I sorted through my clips throughout the trip and actually did my editing in the car on the drive back. There are some things I'll do differently on my next video. Already planning for 2 kids and a gopro Disneyland edition =)

    Considering a trip to TDR, lots of questions!

    Have fun!!! I can't wait to go back. Japan is incredible!!!!! It was very overwhelming to plan but we had the BEST time. Our friends thought we were insane for taking our 2 kids but it was so amazing :goodvibes

    Help me plan for rain!

    If you have a stroller I would recommend buying a cover specific for your type of stroller. We have one for our Britax and it's been a lifesaver! It fits perfectly and it allows our son to ride in the stroller while it's covered. :thumbsup2 Other than that become part of poncho nation... keeps...

    Tower of Terror and a 3 year old?

    Every kid is different. My DD rode it at 3 and hated it but she sure loved bragging that she rode it :lmao:

    Mom Shoes?

    I wear Toms or Teva flip flops. The kids wear Toms also... we have an aversion to socks :rotfl:

    DD 1st Disney Trip

    Ditto. With a group it get's difficult to make sure that everyone experiences what they want out of the trip. Focus on your immediate family and work in the group here and there. :)

    what time to fly with small children?

    I've done the red-eye with a 20 month old & a 6 year old and survived to tell the tale... Really it wasn't bad they both slept and we had the whole day ahead of us. It would kinda stink to get to FL too early and not be able to check in until late afternoon though. For that reason I'd say leave...

    Favorite experience or memory

    Ahhh I could spend all day sharing my favorite Disney Memories... A couple of my favorites.... On DD's 4th birthday a member of the brass band at MK pointed her out and announced her birthday to a crowd. They played and a crowd of about 20 strangers sang "happy birthday" to her. It was...

    Crowd Calendar??

    Yes Nov would be my first choice BUT considering we're doing DL at the end of Sept and 2 weeks in Europe over the summer DH is hesitant. He'd like to space the trips out a bit more. He's self employed so he has a point... Of course he'd take off a few days for Thanksgiving anyway so.... maybe...

    Crowd Calendar??

    Looking for opinions on travel dates. Unfortunately we're tied to DD's school calendar so we don't have many choices. We're considering either Thanksgiving week (but not sure I can swing the time off since we're planning a DL trip in Sept). The week between Christmas & New Year which...

    Cartwheel

    DD's gym taught her by having her stand sideways next to a folded mat that was about 12" high. She would plant her hands on it and kick her feet over. Eventually they had her doing the same sort of thing on a lower mat then just on the floor. If your daughters can get cartwheels down they can...
