    Swimming in November

    Fountains actually has both indoor and outdoor pools! Even if its "too cold" outside, you will enjoy the pool indoors. Its actually a single heated pool with a portion of it indoors and a door that can be closed if its inclement outside.:)

    Troll in Norway (Epcot)

    I believe that the Troll's name is Krampus. When we visit around Christmastime and each country promotes its particular Christmas stories, Krampus is the Troll icon in Norway.

    Beaches-Shark teeth

    Hunting (and finding) sharks teeth is a very popular pastime here in N. Florida. We reside in an area where they are quite plentiful. They are not as plentiful south of Daytona or on the gulf coast.

    Driving Range?

    Here is what I know: If you go to the range at the Magnolia course (across the street from the Grand Floridian), they will provide you with clubs for your son made by US Kids Golf. Further, you can walk nine holes on the Oak Trail Golf Course with the clubs...it is a great course for kids...

    I simply followed up on the email sent to me. They gave me pricing for the various categories. I really want to go, but its just too much for a two night cruise.

    Biergarten?

    Love the food, drink and atmosphere. Kids will love the show and will enjoy going down to the stage to dance and sing with the performers.

    Preview Sailing of Dream

    Sorry to have "hacked" a few of you off with my post. I thought it was generally understood that the fam and preview cruises are the norm rather than the excpetion for new ship launches. It actually helps the MV sailing passengers since the crew is able to "get the kinks out" and offer better...

    People waiting in line say the darndest things!

    It was a young boy, but obviously the sentiment is shared amongst many! Epcot is an acquired taste since its not a bunch of "rides."

    People waiting in line say the darndest things!

    My DW and I often repeat a comment we once heard while waiting in line to ride The Land at Epcot. A young boy (12 or so), obviously disappointed with what he has seen at Epcot so far, is asking his parents what this "ride" is about. After its explained that you ride in a boat and learn about...

    Nice Quick Weekend

    Just returned from a quick overnight trip to WDW with the family. we had a great time...even on a short trip such as this, it is a wonderful opportunity to bond with my wife and kids (son 12, daughter 10) and escape from everyday life. We do this 3 or 4 times a year since we live only 2 hours...
