Just got a minivan for $572 from 3/31-4/11 with the 2 Alamo codes (Vegas Brazil and $25 discount). That's the best I've found so far and only $100 more than the midsize SUV we were planning to get. Will keep checking for it to go down, but happy with this rate so far.

We just have never stayed offsite, we love being in the Disney "bubble" while we are there. I'm sure it will be fine, we are travelling with 2 other families and are staying at a large house close by.

I am having trouble finding an answer to this, so hopefully someone here can help. We are going to be in Florida the first week in April, staying offsite for the first time (yes, I'm a little worried). We are thinking we will initially purchase 2 day park hoppers, but may want to add a 3rd...

We are also looking for April, the week of April 2-10, but we are only planning to DW for 3-4 days of that, most likely at the end of the week based on the crowd calendars I've seen. Hoping for some discounts since I think most people are on Spring Break the week prior.

The annual Hollister jeans sale is today. $24 per pair with free shipping. I believe it's online only. Just passing along the word to anyone interested.

I am totally there with you. We will be there 7/31-8/7, meeting our FL relatives, so this is the only time we could coordinate with both our school schedules. I am really hoping that maybe the new Harry Potter stuff pulls some of the crowds away. We have been to DW during President's Week...

Our almost 16 year old daughter's name is Brenna Jane. Jane is a family name, so we really wanted to use it for the middle name. We love that it's unusual, but not wierd-LOL! Best wishes for your new bundle of joy!!

Make sure you go through Art of Animation. There is a place in the hall where there are characters that they teach you to draw a Disney character. Great free souvenier!!! You can get pictures and autographs while you wait and it's air conditioned!!

I personally would tell them when you get to the airport. I wouldn't want anyone to "spoil" it by asking them while you are waiting to board the plane/on the plane, etc. If you are going to Orlando directly, chances are that others on the plane will also be going to DW and may ask them if...

It always amazes me how much people feel like they need to butt into your personal life, especially regarding how big or small your family is. Here's a response my husband frequently gives when asked why we don't have more than 1 child: "When you got perfection the first time, there's no...

Fry some bacon until crispy and then fry the squash in the bacon drippings with some onions. Once the squash is done, add the bacon back in. Not heart healthy, but very yummy!

Hi-We an only who is now 13, well 13.5 if you ask her-LOL! As most posters have stated, she loves the undivided attention she gets when we go on vacation to places like Disney. She is is able to do whatever she wants, whenever she wants, pretty much the entire trip. We have taken vacations to...

Thanks to all for the suggestions. The state parks that were recommended look awesome, we may have to do the tubing trip!

We will be visiting relatives in Tallahassee for a few days the end of August. Can anyone help with things to do/see?

Our DD is 13 and bathing suits are about the only thing she still buys willingly at Justice. She loves that the little pads in the tops are removable and they have tons of styles to choose from, they also have different online than in the stores, so check both. Our experience is that they hold...

What about having a surprise Easter Egg hunt for all of them on Saturday with a clue that you are going on a trip and then plan to stay at a hotel by the airport that night, so that you don't have to get up so early. Maybe when you get to the hotel you can somehow surprise the kids in the...

We did this in November for our DD. We got her up in the morning the same as she does every day for school and after eating breakfast she went up to her bathroom to get ready and we had a poem written on the mirro with a hangman puzzle for her to solve. We left for the airport as soon as she...

I agree with the posters here. Once DD was old enough to get money for gifts and have an allowance and understand what that meant, she had to spend her own money when we went on vacation. We would buy one t-shirt and/or sweatshirt and 1 other souvenier of her choice (we had veto power), but...

My DD just turned 13 in November and is also obsessed with pirates, so I had to write. My DD loves those make-up kits that you get at Ulta or places like that where they usually have a bunch of colors of eyeshadow and some blush and lipgloss/stick. I would also get her some good mascara to go...

I completely agree, since it's your first trip, Magic Kingdom the first day is your best choice. You don't want to miss the initial magic of the entrance and castle as your first taste of Disney!
