Imaginary trips are the best-- because you get alllllll the good stuff without any of the bad.--- You know--- nasty food, bad resort room location, none of the things you requested, frogs in your room, oh yeah and a bill to pay too boot!
Imagine on, my friend!!!

Congrats on the December trip. Everybody should see Disney at Christmas time at least once! 
Thank you for this post!Just what I wanted to hear. I really want to take advantage of the 40% off a deluxe PIN!! And I want to make sure to make the right decision when I do so.
That is exactly what I am afraid of at the SAB pool. It just looks like it would be hard to keep track of the kids. Not to sound lazy or anything, DH & I do go in the water with them. But a lot of times they want to stay in longer than us and we just want to lounge in a chair and watch them! I am afraid the SAB pool wouldn't be very relaxing. I guess I am used to the moderates where you can see the slide entrance & exit from the same spot.
I keep getting the same answer everywhere about the balconies at BWI. I was just on the WDW website messing around pricing out things and the Chat box popped up. So I asked the CM there. She said - I don't know for sure, but it appears that they have a full balcony. Same thing when I called Disney to ask earlier this week. So hopefully they are all the big ones!
Would you happen to know if DS8 would be allowed to wear a life jacket on the slide at BWI?
I'm sure I'll think of more questions sooner or later!
So I just wonder that the rule is at BWI? From what I can gather looking at the pictures it is only 3 1/2 ft deep at the bottom of the slide, so DS10 would be okay. DS8 is of course taller than that too, but would feel more secure with a life jacket. I'm so glad you loved Illuminations! It's one of our favorite things that we actually missed last year! I loved seeing your pictures but it sure made me "homesick" for Disney. I've definately been having one of those imaginary vacations, every day! Hopefully we can plan a late fall or early winter trip for 2010! Free dining would be a great excuse to go...
Those are great shots of Illuminations! I'll have to look for that spot on Friday night...
And the frog...
Do tell 
Waiting ever so patiently on an update......

Just kidding. I appreciate your enthusiasm! 
Too bad we actually waited 25. The whole time we were in line I was thinking that we should have just gotten fastpasses and gone to RNRC. But eventually we did make it onto the ride and it was a blast! The kids rode together and DS10 won. DH and I rode together and I kicked his butt!! 
The wait time was 30 minutes. Not bad for about 9:45am. But since DS8 & DH don't ride this we decided to get fastpasses and come back in a little bit. I tried to talk DS10 into riding TOT since we were right there and the wait time was only 10 minutes, but it was a no go! He does high and fast, but he doesn't do scary. 
I think we waited about 10 minutes for this ride. 
DS10 and I walked clear through an empty fp line and got to the front where they tell you which room to go into and the line stopped. We stood there for about 20 minutes and didn't budge. There were apparently some issues with the ride. The regular line wasn't moving either. We were finally let into the preshow room. The dialog was messed up during the preshow and there was a CM in the back with a microphone filling in the blanks. Weird. Once we finally got on the ride itself we sat there for longer than normal waiting for take off. Then when the countdown began it went - 3, 2, and then we took off!! No 1. That was surprising! The ride was awesome as always but the sound was cutting in and out the entire time. Kind of ruined the experience. But we had 2 more fastpasses and figured we would wait for later to use them and hope that it was fixed by then. On the way out I tried once again to get DS10 to ride TOT, but nope! 
Glad you are enjoying the report. DS10 makes me do the "rock on" sign everytime for the ride photo! Thank goodness I have a bunch printed out, but I am still very upset! I feel so bad...I wish I could show you some pics! BTW, we decided on YC in November! Boardwalk was definitely in consideration, but we just wanted to try somewhere new!
I love DHS---great update! About those Boardwalk pictures, my computer crashed back in May and I lost all of my pictures
That makes me think I really should get my pics on a CD so that doesn't happen to me someday. What week are you looking at? We sure are hoping to go next November too. The same week as this year! Thanks!
That stinks that you lost all those pictures.
YAY for the YC in November!!
But also means that I will be screwed up from the time change the entire week. I don't know why it messes me up so bad. This year we arrived a week after the time change and I was still messed up for about 3 days into the trip. When it got dark so early I was suddenly tired and felt like we should be back at the resort rather than in the parks! Good thing I came out of my funk by Tuesday and we were able to enjoy DHS all day and well past dark!!
