Love the preview pics. Can't wait to hear all about it!
I guess I remembered that you were interested in city planning because that is something which I find very interesting, too.
I used both TGM and touringplans on our previous three trips. I was afreaid of missing out on valuable information if I did not get both. But to be honest, I think you would be fine which ever one you chose. I actually love reading the Unofficial Guide and therefore I would have bought that book anyway. If you have the book, you can access everything on their site, too. TGM was fun to read through, too. But sometimes it was a bit difficult to find the information I was looking for. Also I found that TGM is not very quick in updating his advice. There were a few areas where I found information that was rather outdated. Both offer sound advice on how to tour the parks. While touringplans objective is to hit every attraction once, TGM offers more advice on how to get to see the big attractions again. That's why I liked to combine them! With regard to best day at which park: I think they usually were very similar for our time frame. All in all I tend to believe touringplans more than TGM - they actually do scientific research and have an statistician doing this. And I am someone who likes scientific approaches.
What a cute picture! Once again Henry looks so much older!! I am looking forward to hear about your weekend!
It's good to see your planning another trip to WDW!!! Good luck with those crowds. Count to 10 when it's too much. It really does work.
Your preview looks wonderful! I love the Dells too. There are so many things to do. The Travel Channel had a special dedicated to it. I think they said something about all the water parks and the fact that a lot of them are indoors. I think they are trying to get more tourists to come up there in the winter.
Thanks for the preview of the Dells! Can't wait to hear all about it!
Love the teaser pics! And your new siggy pics are sooo cute!!! When were they taken?
Hey Brook,
I thought I was subscribed to this and somehow I wasn't! I think I was the 1st person to comment on this new PTR, too! Hmm, something went wrong, cause I missed a lot!!!! I just came over from my PTR to see what was new and to tell how ADORABLE your new siggie is with the pics of Henry!!!!! Too cute!! I have to go back and read and see where these were done, assuming you commented on them already? Sorry about that....off to catch up!! And now, I swear, I'm subbing!!! I can't miss any of your PTR/TRs!!!
I love it!! Laugh in the face of winter... sounds like an excellent plan! I can't wait for more pictures and stories from the Dells trip!
As far as Mardi Gras goes, the French Quarter really is as crazy as they say it is. It was solid people, lots of drinking and quite a bit of nudity. As a pretty naive sheltered girl, it was an eye opening experience.
For the rest of the city, it was really nothing more than a good time. In neighborhoods, families sat on their lawns to watch the parades go by and we were still able to hit markets and Cafe du Monde.
OK - this is just too stinkin' cute I love the new pics in your siggy too!
I bought the book too, and thought you got complete access to the site, but all I got was the hours and said I had to pay for a membership to get anywhere else. What am I doing wrong?
Brook, the pics look fun and great. Your new signature is awesome too.
Oh, sorry, I guess that was wrong information then!! I actually have the subscription, too, I guess I needed to check dates before I bought the book... But the subscription is actually quite affordable, especially if you sign up for the Allears.net newsletter, you get a discount code for the subscription.
And, Brook, I agree the pictures in your signature are great!!
Actually just went back to touringplans and this here is from their FAQ:
I believe he is quite liking the car ride. How cute!
What kind of boo-boo did he get on his elbow in the sandpail picture?
Can't wait to hear all about your fun!
OK, I figured it out. I never had signed up for th basic before hand.
I am glad it finally worked for you!!
Love the preview pics. Can't wait to hear all about it!
Hi Brook! Glad you had a great time on your mini vacation! When I saw your new photos on your signature I literally said, "Awwwwww, it's Henry" and my kids just looked at me..... I said "I'm on the DISboards" and they got that "knowing look", like there goes mom again with these people she thinks she knows.
Brook, you know I am loving the zebra-print patio furniture!
OMG! I love all the new pictures of Henry! Target did an awesome job!! Too darn cute, I tell ya.
Great updates so far and I'd hardly call you lame...

Not pathetic at all! I can't wait to hear more about this resort. I'm very intrigued by the water park capital of the world!
No worries, Brook!
Your post was just a little appetizer, that's all!
We all know how it is when hubbies demand attention!

It was a fun update! G and I went to New Orleans last weekend and I have not even had time to download the pictures yet.
Putting that on the list of things to do tonight at Princess Pickletoes goes to bed.
That's it....$4 off your next purchase!! LOL!!! Get that boy an agent, he's too cute for $4!!
