I have quite a vast library of parenting books, and the one I have found that is the most realistic and helpful one is a wonderful book called Raising Your Spirited Child by Mary Sheedy Kurcinka. It is all about children that are "more", more sensitive, more energetic, more intense (etc). She...

This will be our third trip but our first time to book before the 45 day mark. We are planning a trip for September but there is a slight chance that we might have change the dates or even cancel the trip. As I have always had to pay in full when I booked before, I have no clue about changing...

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but here we go.... As we send postcards as souvenirs, I print out all the addresses on label paper and cut them out. I put them into bags according to stamp price (and of course label the price on the bag). This way I don't have to worry about writing...

Our boys write (or draw) a letter to Santa. Santa chooses two or three presents from the list to bring. We don't buy anything off the list for the boys. So the presents are special. We use fabric bags for our presents and wrapping paper for Santa. Also, as the kids are old enough (3 and 5), we...

Hello. I was wondering if anyone knew how strict the kids clubs at the hotels are about the kids being 4. At the time of our holiday (May), my youngest will be 10 days shy of his fourth birthday. My oldest son is really keen to try the clubs but he won't go without his brother. I was wondering...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows which Disney Playhouse characters are doing meet & greets? Last time (2006) we saw the Little Einsteins, Stanley and Jo-Jo & Goliath. But are Handy Mandy or Darby there? My kids are HUGE fans of all the characters. Thanks in advance!

I am so out of the loop when it comes to tipping. I live in Japan and we don't tip here. Now with the 2008 dining plan I have to worry about tipping again. What is the usually % for tipping? And do you tip at Character meals that are buffet style? I realize that these are basic questions but I...

Hi there. I actually live in Japan and have been to both parks more times than I can count. I LOVE TDL and TDS but be prepared to wait. As long as you are prepared, it is a great experience. There are quite a few rides that are the same as WDW. TDL is quite small land wise but quite compact...

My son is 2.5 as well. Here are a few of the things he mentioned he liked and wanted to do next time again: We had lunch with the Little Einsteins and JoJo in MGM. It was his favorite meal. He got to dance and sing with the characters. :woohoo: The interaction is great! He also loved Honey...

Thanks very much for the offer :lovestruc Krismom but I live in Japan and leave in six days :Pinkbounc so I don't really have time to wait for the post. I was hoping to find something in the parks. My kids are 2 & 4 but fit sizes 3 & 5 because they are bean poles! Does anyone know if there's a...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but.... :confused3 We have a reservation for the Princesses Storybook Dinner princess: and would love our two "Princes" to be in prince costumes. :groom: Does anyone know where I could buy them in WDW? We are flying out in a couple days so I...

My experience was more embarassing than strange. My DH and I were in Tokyo Disneyland. We were walking along a back path when I got jumped by five of King Louie's monkeys. They came out of nowhere! They made a monkey sandwich with me as the filling. :grouphug: They got pretty "friendly" with...

Hello, Does anyone know if you still get the one free photo when you attend MVMCP? :confused3 Last year, we got a free postcard :cool1: but I can't find out on the Disney site if they are doing it again this year. TIA

First off, I am not trying to stir any pots. But has the new kids menu made anyone cancel their Dining Plan? If you aren't on the Dining Plan then shouldn't you be able to order what ever you want from the menu for your kids? I can at any normal restaurant. Also, when did mac'n'cheese become...

17 days, 14 hours, 6mins and 42 seconds to we leave. Give or take a couple of seconds. :cheer2:

Thanks. I am relieved. :yay: I've made a reservation already. I was a little worried as I had read some mixed reviews about it. The Chipmunks are very big in our family so it was high on my list of Character meals. Mickey is a bonus for me but not the main attraction for my boys. :goodvibes

Hi There. I was wondering what everyone thought about the Garden Grill. My kids love Chip and Dale. We have never gone to the Garden Grill but was wondering if it was worth it. TIA :wave:

Hi Does anyone know if the Grand Floridian sells gingerbread houses kits? I have to fly home a long way so an assembled house is out of the question. But my kids (& dh) would love to have a gingerbread house from WDW. thanks.

Hi, Does anyone know if there is somewhere I can buy some cold medicine when we get to Disney? We are flying internationally and am worried about bringing medicine with me with all the new security with liquids. Thanks. :confused3

Hi there, Does anyone know if the Power Rangers are still at MGM? My two boys are insanely into them. (To the point I have to refer to them as Power Ranger Red and Power Ranger Blue ;) ). I don't want to get them all excited if the Power Rangers are gone. Thanks
