Thanks for sharing your viewpoint - I was WAY overtired when I originally posted this, and I've had a few days to cool off. We definitely fell into the " we are spending a lot of money and flew 4 hours to get here (I live in Colorado) so we better do all we can" kind of trap. While I was there, I felt like I had been misled about how much work it is to take care of 3 small kids and a husband who really doesn't want to be there. And considering how much we spent and saved, well, I was hoping all that planning and strategizing ahead of time would be enough to make an awesome vacation and everyone would just have a marvelous time. The more I look at our pictures, the more fun I realized we had.
I've had a few days now to get some rest and reflection - and I'm going to chalk a lot of this up to learning experience. My kids had an AWESOME time. I"m going to focus on that. And if we never go back, c'est la vie. We'll see where we are in 5 years!!

Ok before I start I just wanna say sadly there is a lot of negativity emanating from this thread.. I mean it got to the point of making me feel sick in my stomach from all the bad experiences. To the point of skipping to the end. Now I understand you're all just showing the importance of break days but ouch lol
As for I usually go at least 1-2 times per year since mother has a condo about an hour away, so those trips are 1 days, then every 4 years we get to stay on site which are slightly longer trips but still short compared to others so honestly break days for us are wasted money. However we try for 1-2 parks but only because time and we don't feel a need for all four.
Tolls? We've only ever hit 1 so don't know what the so many tolls post was about. Yes DTD is under construction and a mess... If you drive, if you take the complementary transportation everything's fine. Love Down Town Disney
And then I try to add something a little special each year like an add on or something to make a meeting day magical
Sorry if my post comes off as rude but just saying from my view point hurts that some people don't get as good a trip as they planned
