    Not feeling the magic so far

    Plane tickets have been purchased. Room is booked - not the size room we wanted or the week we originally wanted. Transportation from airport to resort is arranged. Park tickets are purchased. Daily itinerary is typed up. Dining is all scheduled. But it still seems like that...

    Glad to hear you had a great experience, we have DK's booked for our end of July trip. I called and emailed them several times with questions and always received prompt answers. Good customer service is priceless.

    What should we not miss at Disneyland?

    We've been to WDW many times but this year we were able to finally get 1 bedroom and GCV after trying for many years. It better be a nice hotel since its a lot of points. We will be flying in on a Sunday and fly out on a Friday, plan to buy 4 day park hoppers and I know from experience my...

    Who Is Your Vacation Planner?

    I plan everything. We take a vote on meals and which resort to stay at other than that its all me. DH's job is to load the heavy suitcases into the car and get them into the airport. DH loves DW but has no desire to plan our trips.

    More space or more vacations?

    We are a family of 6 so space is a definate must for us. We've only stayed in a 2 bedroom since becoming DVC members. Having the washer and dryer and the extra bathroom is priceless for our family.

    Kids on their own in the parks? What age?

    You aren't alone, my oldest is 18 and this is the first year he has mentioned going off on his own at the parks and this year will be our 6th trip in 6 yrs. If he had wanted to I may have let him go off on his own when he was 14 or 15 but I would not give him the responsiblity of taking one of...

    Taking friends of the kids....

    Both my older kids are taking a friend with us this year. Both sets of parents insisted on paying for something so they are buying their own park tickets and spending money. We are DVC members so our room is paid for, we were driving anyway so we would need gas regardless if they went or not...

    First DW trip without DH

    Our oldest DS graduated from high school in May, we've been to DW many times before but we have always flown, this time we planned to drive from south Texas taking 3 days to get there and visiting some historical places along the way (DS loves history). This is most likely the last trip we would...

    College tuition bombshell & budget buster..need opinions

    I haven't read any of the replies, please forgive me if I'm just repeating others. First I have to say you sound like an amazing step mom, I wish my 2 older kids had a caring step mom like you instead of the step monster they ended up with. Have your stepson apply for a Stafford loan, let...

    Another questionable invitation: Am I just old fashioned?

    Its just tacky to have an invited guest bring food or donate money. Just yesterday we received an invitation for a high school graduation party, it had the information for the bank where the student had set up an "education fund". I have a son graduating from high school this year, I would...

    To those with "large" families

    Did you help your kids find some career direction before they went to college?

    My DS is a high school senior this year, he has always loved hunting, fishing and anything to do with outdoors and wildlife. Last year he decided he would like to go into wildlife management. His decision did not surprise us at all. We had lots of discussions about it in the past, we always let...

    Pondering a new GPS...Your thoughts?

    We have the Garmin StreetPilot c330 also, new maps for it were going to cost us $99 for updated maps. Just last week I bought another Garmin, I think its the 1350 at Sams Club for $139. So far I love it and screen seems huge after using the StreetPilot for 3 or 4 years.
