    What if we took our kids for Christmas?

    The thought just crossed my mind -- What if, instead of giving the kids toys, we took them to Disney World (or Disney Land) for their Christmas gift? We have 3 kids, ages 12, 10 and 8. They have been to Disney World 2x before, I have to try to remember when -- last time was about 3 years ago...

    Hi Everybody, We are going to San Diego over Easter 2014 and will be in town for about 6 days with our three sons ages 5, 7 and 9. There are so many places to go, but we want to keep the tickets reasonable. Out of everything available, we're thinking of going to Legoland and the San...

    120+ min for Ariel's underwater adventure???

    The crab animation has several stops in very interesting scenes. The directions go something like this --- all of the crabs things got mixed up (was it in a storm?) and they are getting things organized again. They ask that if the crab brings something that doesn't belong with the other...

    A little disappointed with new Little Mermaid ride....

    It was a nice ride, we did it this morning. The waiting areas are beautiful and the little crab screens and all the decorations around them are gorgeous and fun to look at and play with. The ride is in the same style as the Magic Kingdom Disneyy rides and that is probably OK -- to match...

    120+ min for Ariel's underwater adventure???
