Ron here...yup THE Ron of RonnMel. LOL!!!
I've been enjoying the trip report immensely!!! First off, let me say hi...to a fellow Montrealler. Technically, the wifey and I are your neighbours, as we live in Laval. But at Disney, whenever we say where we are from, we generally end up saying Montreal, Canada. Hahaha.
We always get the tiniest amount of jealousy whenever we hear of people being able to take their Disney trip off season. We would LOVE being able to go at almost any other time other than the hind end of summer, but as my wife is a teacher, we kinda have to follow her schedule.
We are trying for a family though, so when she goes on Mat leave, or on preventive leave, perhaps we'll try and take the opportunity to go at a different time. I myself would find it surreal to see how much lower the crowds are, having to deal with pretty big crowds everytime we go.
I can't tell you much we both miss Disney. I constantly daydream about Dole Whips, the smell of popcorn on Main street, and heavy drooping eyelids at the Carosel of progress. LOL!! Jus kiddin. While I do agree that COP can be sleep inducing, it's only because it's sooooo relaxing to be in there. I personally love the attraction, and it's very nice to do it when the alternative is the sun beating down on you in the afternoon.
You have a great looking family btw!!
Ahhhh Deluxe resorts!!. For us, they are an almost impossible possibility given our limited funds. But, that's why I play the lottery. Not for a new house, not for a new car, but for the possibility of making any and all Disney dreams a reality hahahahahahahaha.
