    Need to Vent - Some Friend! LONG

    You will not be as silly as the "wealthy" people who had a terrible room--you would politely ask to be changed--anyways--what does being wealthy do to add credibility to one;s opinion???this persons logic is seriously in doubt--there are many people who have opinions one way or the other---what...

    mouse boats

    we had an absolute blast on the mouseboats--my son 12 drove DD 9, myself with DD11 and DH with DD9---we raced around the lake and all agreed that was one of the best parts of our trip--the boats go fast enough for non boaters--2 adults would not work--but I cant believe that a 14 year old could...

    Youngest yet Appropriate Age

    IMHO--ideal age if you are not living right nearby and can only go infrequently would be 4--before that the kid may spend the whole trip fascinated by the pigeons (DS-age 2) we have 4 kids--5-10-11-13 and try to go every 4 to 5 years--this has worked for us--the earlier trips (under 6) are not...

    Kids are 2, 3 and 5 - First trip - Recommendations please...

    we brought our two daughters when they were that age and i regretted not having bought them some silly princess or minnie dress for them to wear around the park--it seems silly but that adorable princess/girly stage is soooo short lived--they are now 10 and 12 and into sports etc. my son was 6...

    Your list of must-visit restaurants

    ok--which restaurants you like really depend on what type of eating experience you prefer--our group steers clear of buffets (with the exception of BOMA) and character stuff and tends to prefer unique eating/good food- with that said our favs: BOMA (GREAT FOOD-UNIQUE) SPOODLES (SEE...

    My DH and I ate there last June while we were staying at the GF--left the kids in the room and got a nite to ourselves==we started off with delicious champagne drinks from the great bartender and from there is was heaven----dinner was great and we were along the windows (a plus) for the...

    Switched to YC.. tell me I will like it!

    the yacht club is the better of the two(bc/yc)--we loved the steak restaurant there and the "clubby" feel--although we have 4 kids who loved the pool we much (all six of us) preferred the GF---the bc/yc complex is just too crowded and messy (with people and alL) we just didnt care for the...

    Pulling the kids out of school..

    woa!! do not feel guilty just yet--you will have plenty more time for that--not until 5th grade or more would missing school be a problem (IMHO) as long as your child is doing well and all--I, for one, am a staunch believer that family time is more important than a week or so of school that...

    ? about room occupancy...I mean Stormalong Bay

    just got back from the BC and there is only one water slide--coming down from the Pirate ship--it is decent but no way compares to a water park--my 3 older kids (12-11-9) liked it but said that CS slide was much better.(faster and longer in their opinion) Storm along bay is fun but in our...

    4 days..where to eat?

    we just got back and my favorite restaurant for the food was Boma--they have great African dishes--we cancelled our other reservations and went back 2 nights in a row!! the ambience is nice also-we also loved Narcoosees at Grand Floridian--great champagne drinks, cool bartender, awesome food and...

    POR vs. All Stars

    I think that depends on your children--We stayed at POR when our three were just yours ages and loved it--the trundle was fun for them although the rooms are small- this did not affect us because we were never in the room except to sleep or collapse on the beds. The location of this resort is...

    5 Days To Go!!!! Who else??

    i just bought a portable mister at target-($14.99)-it is a "water-bottle" sized bottle with a tube attached that has a mister on the end to spray a fine mist of water--you can add ice to it and the water will cool the air 30 degrees(so says the manufacturer!) I am planning to bring this for our...

    Who has seen the Haunted Lighthouse 4-D show at Busch Gardens?

    we saw that show during march vacation--my four kids all liked it--it had a real story line and the effects were pretty good--not at all scary (my 3yr old didnt wear the glasses so he had no problems) overall it was good-not fabulous.:Pinkbounc

    Beach club v Animal Kingdom Lodge

    we had this same dilemma for our June vacation so we booked both and split the trip--that way we get a change half way through the vacation (for food and pool,etc) and get to have the best of both worlds!!! have fun!!!!!:Pinkbounc

    I think every school seems to have a girl like this one...

    my dd (11) has seen that exact girl!! the story is the same--this girl acts that any girl lucky enough to be her best friend has it all--turns out that this girl gets nothing but material feedback from mom and dad (phone,tv,clothes,brand names) but has to bribe and threaten to have real friends...

    Help for visiting Niagara Falls and also Toronto info

    we went to Niagara Falls last summer (kids under 12) and had a ball--one definite is to stay on the Canadian side and Clifton Hill is the street where all the "Las Vegas style" stuff is (that is my opinion) it is a goofy street filled with 3D shows, rainforest cafe, rides, Ripleys believe it or...

    My Disney "shock"!

    carone--I agree with you--give in a little when you can-it is a mistake to never let your kids have their own choices/decisions--we can let them know how we feel about something but ultimately we cannot make their decisions for them--just guide them along and hope for the best!!:Pinkbounc

    How do you get motivated to exercise?

    try walking in the real world (around your town, parks,nature trails) it is much more fun and interesting- learn about your area's history or natural resources and go looking at them!! in bad weather get a tv near your treadmill and rent movies or watch a great show on tv or listen to your...

    My Disney "shock"!

    I have always hated those shorts--my 2 girls (11 and 9) would not be caught dead in those crazy things--thank goodness --but even if they wanted to I would assert my parental authority and give themthe simple "you are not leavin this house looking like that!" (I would never buy them in the first...
