    Moving close to WDW, good or bad?

    Thanks for responding. I would have responded sooner but our dsl has been out. I am not worried about gettting sick of WDW, but my husband says that he already is sick of WDW (I can't believe I married a guy that wouldn't want to spend every waking minute at WDW! - I honestly didn't know...

    Moving close to WDW, good or bad?

    Hi, My family and I may be moving to Jacksonville, Florida from east Texas. I am worried that we may get sick of WDW or not enjoy it as a vacation destination anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? I know each person is different, but I would like to hear the experiences of others...

    Grand Villa Help!!!!

    All of the Grand Villas are amazing! I would be thrilled to stay at any of them again. We have also loved our stays at each of the hotels you mention. There are things to love about all of them. If I were you, I would just explain to my brother and sister-in-law that there must be a...

    DVC Owners - what Luggage brand is best?

    I LOVE our Eagle Creek bag!!! It is great. After a lifetime of cheap luggage, this suitcase is the best by far! They also have a lifetime warranty. They will repair or replace any damage no matter what. I got mine at The Container Store. They are also available online at eBags. Have fun...

    Advice needed from parents with young children....

    Everything that has been written has been great but there are a couple of things that I didn't see. First of all, there is a small playground on the far side of Splash Mountain for kids that aren't tall enough to ride. Secondly, my son loved the lights in the concrete in Future World at Epcot...

    Best Day of the Week to Arrive at WDW

    I always plan an early flight on a Saturday, so that we can take our time getting settled in our room before an early dinner - so that we can hit the parks well rested and early the next day. I don't know which day is best; I just try to get good airfare. Regina

    Trying to decide about DVC...my head is spinning with info...

    By the way, renting points is a great way to try out DVC. We had a great experience and I have only heard of one incident where a renter had a problem, so don't be put off by the idea that it may be too risky. Just speak with the individual that you are considering renting from and see how...

    Trying to decide about DVC...my head is spinning with info...

    My goodness! It didn't take even one trip to know that I would love Disney! First of all, I love theme parks! Second of all, I could tell from the pictures that Disney is kept a lot better than Six Flags and I love Six Flags (at least I did until after a few trips to WDW which put Six Flags...

    Need Help. Our four year old thinks disney is fake!!

    Jasmine and Aladdin signed the Genii's name in the book while all three distracted the kids with small talk. It is funny that even now when I say that the characters aren't real, the kids argue with me and point out that they have to be because of the "magic" that the Genii did. Honestly, the...

    Top 5 "MUST DO" at each of 4 parks

    Number One MUST DO: RELAX! You can't do it all or see it all - not even the top must do's on other peoples lists. There is simply way, way too much stuff to see or do and WDW. Finally, one of the worst things to do is to rush around trying to do everything on a list. As you rush around...

    Need Help. Our four year old thinks disney is fake!!

    Well, it is up to you what you do. But when we went to WDW a few years ago immediately after a sibling group of three joined our family, whom we later adopted, the four yo boy stated that everything was fake while we were in line for Aladdin, Jasmine and the Genii. I didn't not honestly care...

    Proof of another DVC at the Contemporary!

    When I heard the previous name for Bay Lake Tower (Kingdom Tower), I assumed that there would be a second tower built named Magic Tower. Also the footprint would have been a giant hidden mickey. Regina

    Where would you move?

    The people are lovely. We will stay here after our kids grow up, if our kids move somewhere else? I don't know. DH was born and raised in S. Cal and I lived there for my entire adult life until moving back to WY. We'll just have to see. The important thing is to adapt to the circumstances...

    Where would you move?

    Hey, you should have stopped to say, Hi! I would have bought you a hamburger! I hope that you had a nice drive and no unfortunate stops by the boys in blue. (I always see someone getting a ticket, especially in Brownsboro.) Longview and Tyler are nice, and we have considered the Tyler...

    Where would you move?

    I can handle the heat with air conditioning and palmetto bugs after living in Texas for 45 years, but I worry about the snow. I also hate wet cold - dry cold wasn't so bad. I have lived in central Texas (Waco), west Texas (Lubbock for college) and now east texas so I have experienced both. I...
