We all love Disney and can't get enough! I'm thankful my DH loves it as much as I do.
I've been more than 10 times and DS started going when he was 11 months old. My last trip was in March when I ran the Princess Half Marathon, it was a girls only trip and my first time going since having kiddos, I was kind of sad they weren't there.
We're planning a family trip in Oct of 2011.. (got to save up!) though I'll probably go again in March for the princess half again...

DH and I are both 45. DH is a Police Lt. and I'm an Engineering Planner for an Aerospace company

We've been married for 20 years....wow it seems longer

DS22 - soon to move to Boston with his GF (hopefully some day to be DDIL)
DS20 - just finished his third year of college in Wildlife Biology/Science
DD16 - planning on going to college for Genetics / or Music

Two very spoiled dogs : A bichon and a rottweiler. We hire someone to stay at the house while we are on vacation so that the dogs don't have to go to a kennel. They'd be terribly lonely......I know, we're crazy people.

DH and I have both been to WDW over 10 times, the kids are on their 4th or 5th trip.

We tend to go the WDW with my DSis and DBIL and their DS's 21 and 20.

The more the merrier!

You aren't crazy... we could never board our 2 Shih-tzus, either. They stay with "Grampy" (my Dad) and they love it. He's retired so they love the 24/7 attention.

love the dog name "Rescue"

I noticed that, too. Lots of military folks, also. Thank you to all of you for your service!
