We're now going to be in Disney from December 21st - December 26th. The resort: Same... Port Orleans Riverside. Transportation to...

    Um... Hi. Again. I am so sorry that I disappeared. Our life kind-of-sort-of exploded on us and everything - jobs, homes, schools, everything - changed. The briefest possible explanation would be that due to some rather serious health issues with both myself and Grumpy our entire life got...

    When we were figuring out the dates for this trip I knew that eventually we were going to have to deal with one major flaw in our plan – the fact that we will have only three days to hit four majorly huge parks. The whole thing made me nervous. When I went to Disney World as a kid my mother...

    Walk-ing Back to Disney! COMPLETED 10/16! A Fall 2014 PTR!

    Ahh... Waffle House. I worked there. I actually met my husband while I was working there! Good food, great memories. I like my hashbrowns scattered, covered, diced, capped and extra crispy. :thumbsup2

    More Mickey Mail! Am I the only one that gets super excited about mail from Disney? The Whack-a-loons are starting to laugh about how happy I am whenever we get some – and the fact that I photo document it. But, hey, you guys get it, right? *crickets* Anyhoodle – we got Mickey Mail today! How...

    So few people (and especially families) do road trips now - and I think they are so much fun! With the right approach and attitude they really can be a blast. l'Ananas is one of the few things we all picked up from The Girl's French classes. She's up to French 4 in school - I fully intend to...

    ADR. In our little world we’ve decided that stands for not only Advanced Dining Reservations but also Appetite Destruction Ratios. Check ‘em out! Arrival Day Dinner: Boatwright’s Dining Hall. Perceived ADR – 4:5. We love the look of the menu at Boatwright’s – my boys especially are psyched...

    Believe it or not the only part of planning that I have been able to actively engage the whole family in so far has been customizing Magic Bands. Sad isn’t it? They really are missing out… But, anyway, The Whack-a-loons and I decided on all of our Magic Bands this weekend. They were...

    Thanks for joining in! Long haul drives are one of those things that can go either way - really, really good or really, really bad. I'll be sending good thoughts your way for your drive! :goodvibes And I'm so glad to hear that your DS had such a good time - I think far too many people stress...

    Port Orleans Riverside Q&A Thread 2014 (Please read first post for FAQs!)

    Is it silly that my excitement for my trip to POR bleeds over to being happy for total strangers that are on their vacations? Either way I hope you have a wonderful trip!

    Hi guys! This isn’t really an update – it’s just a bit of fun that I thought I would share! Have you created one of the “Show Your Disney Side” pictures yet? I found it while roaming the Disney Website and got quite a giggle out of it. Here’s ours: If we were stick people... Grumpy, Me, Boy...

    AK and HS in one day

    We're doing a AK/HS split day. We actually went this route because when I asked the kids to make a list of what they're interested in at each park their Magic Kingdom & Epcot lists were huge and varied but the AK & HS lists had a grand total of 6 attractions - 3 at each park. We'll be...

    Gay Days 2015 - Help me a Dad Out

    Can I just say that your grandmother sounds like a fabulous lady? Good on her. And to the OP, WDW is just like real life - but with extra pixie dust. You will see people of all ethnicities, races, cultures and lifestyles no matter when you visit and they are all there for the same reason - to...

    What is the best money you have ever spent at Disney?

    I spent $6 on a autograph book on my first trip in 1990. It was my first real purchase of my own ever - I used babysitting money that I had earned to buy it and I was so proud of myself! I've been flipping through it since I've started planning this (my 2nd) trip and it makes me really happy. :)
