Posting this on our fridge to put it all in perspective. At WDW age doesn't matter, have a great return trip with your daughter. I am sure it will be magical for you both.

We have similar favorites, I listen to Aquaculture often as part of my standard "I Need a WDW fix" playlist. I also love the Epcot entrance music and the variations of it the years are all good (1982, 2000, 2001, 2006).

I agree with everyone that said two rooms at a value resort. We have done it many times- this arrangement is a better value than a suite and we have always been able to get adjacent or connecting rooms. -Jim

We went on Viva Italia last June and in Rome and Venice we were able to purchase cards at the front desk with a fixed number of hours of internet access for a fairly reasonable price. We only had our iPad so we could all check email and facebook. It worked out pretty well. As someone else said...

I agree the service is amazing but not surprising. At the end of our Viva Italia trip last June we were departing Venice to fly home and the lines in the airport for British Airways were ridiculously long and slow. They have only two check-in counters. Our ABD guide, Mara, was staying with us to...

The trip from Florence to Venice is aboard Eurostar Italia. The first class ride was fast, smooth and comfortable. My family of six thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing trip last June. The entire Viva Italia trip exceeded our expectations. We will do another ABD trip soon! -Jim

Take a look at my signature and you will see we have gone many times in August- always third week because we like to go before school starts in the northeast. Hot and humid, yes. Crowded, not bad because many southern schools are back in session by then. Park hours are still extended so you...

Not sure what drove the need for a change here in the first place? I mean what was the motivation to even consider a change to the soundtrack for this ride when there are so many other opportunities for innovation and change at WDW? Seems like a case of someone in charge with power to make a...

If your DH has only been to MK then he hasn't seen Epcot, AK or Hollywood Studios which will show him different sides of Disney. Why not get the vaca planning video so he can get a glimpse of all that Disney has to offer? Don't forget the "behind the scenes" tours which can give him an insiders...

My wife, four daughters (23, 18, 17, 13), son (8) and I were at a show on our trip this past March and we all enjoyed it. Would definitely go back. -Jim

at the parks the birthday buttons do differ, so get more than one. I know Epcot's button is different than MK. The button's definitely lead to magic- we have received free fast passes, front of the line escorts, consecutive rides on splash mountain, front train on thunder mountain and more...

We love the wraps at Pecos Bills. Sounds crazy but our entire family looks forward to one every visit. They are fresh and somewhat healthy too! -Jim

Two traditions- 1) First night - a character dinner at Chef Mickey's 2) Last day - morning of last rides at MK until 2pm, then lunch and shopping at DD, and finally off to the airport around 5:30pm for a bite to eat and an evening flight. -Jim

We arrived Sunday 18th evening and went to the MK for EMH. It was busy right up to midnight or so. We waited 60 mins for space mtn at 11pm! Monday we were at AK and at 10:30am fast passes for Expedition Everest were for 5pm and climbing, by 11:30 they were gone for the day. Standby was 120. A...

The front desk or concierge can print them for you. Just bring your confirmation number. -Jim

Any suggestions on how to go over to the shrine without a car? Can you get a cab easily round trip? We usually have a car, but this time we are taking advantage of Magical Express. -Jim

We've all been there! Take a deep breadth, say a prayer, and you'll be fine. Take care of each of these issues in the order that they are important- don't try and do them all at once. If you have to let something go, let it go- like the autograph book. It isn't great to have the additional...

Wow, 4yo and 44". My 6yo son is the opposite - height challenged. In October he was a hair shy of 44". We are going back in Feb and it looks like we've hit 44.5"! We're hoping he can get on space and everest. He was sooo disappointed last time. He wanted the CM fired and we had to explain that...

We don't do rope drop either. Never have really. I have found (and read many times - just ask TGM) that the key to a great trip is pacing yourself and your family to avoid over doing it and therefore meltdowns. I recommend that each day you pick the must do rides/attractions. Plan your...

We love Soarin- we wish it were less popular so we could go on more than once per visit. Test Track and Soarin are both so popular that you have to plan your Epcot day around getting on those rides. Start your day before 11am and use fast pass right away. -Jim
