Our children were 7 & 9 when we went in 1988, we found if we took an afternoon break the kids enjoyed the day far more and did not get over tired. This is easy to do if you are staying on site (Disney Resort), when the crowds grew and the kids started to get tired we would go back to the resort for a "break", when we returned later in the day the crowds were down and the kids were fresh for another round.

That's my plan...especially on the nights we want to see the late-night parades and/or fireworks. We're staying at CBR, so we'll be able to relax at our own pool each day, which will be really nice.

My youngest two kids are 7 and 9, and as part of our planning strategy we leave some days "open", so that we can decide what to do that day, rather than having it planned out.

rule 1 - Don't stress out the wife.
rule 2 - Kid melt down violates rule 1.
rule 3 - remember rule 1.

Oh how true!

My name is Amy and I live in Dartmouth, NS. I've been to Disney World about 4 times before, and my next trip is coming up in May (27-June 4). I can't wait!

I think this such an awesome thread! I haven't seen many people from our neck of the woods around on the DIS until now.

My name is Andrea and we arrive in WDW on May 29th!!!

I arrive in "the world" on May 27th! It'd be cool if we somehow ran into one another sometime in the parks.

Hi, Amy!

I took a look at your pre-trip report, and maybe we'll run into each other at MK on the 29th! We arrive at 2:35pm and are heading to Olivia's Cafe for a quick dinner, then it's off to MK!! It's mine and the kids' 1st trip, so I'm not going to be "in" WDW and not be in MK...thankfully, I've got an understanding hubby who's agreed to use a park ticket for the sake of a few hours so I can try and meet Mickey on our 1st night!

Congratulations on your engagement and the completion of your degree!! Two great things to celebrate while you're at Disney!

Hi all, I just found this thread! Nice to see some Maritime friends!

I have been a bit of a DIS lurker since I started planning our FIRST Disney vacation with our boys in April, 2008 although I've had a few posts over the years. I have learned so much from other DIS members and it really adds to the excitement of trip planning when you visit these boards.

My name is Michelle and I live in New Maryland, NB (just outside of Fredericton). My DH and two DS's (13 & 8) love Disney and they also LOVE that I look after most of the planning for them!

We have taken two trips as a family (in April, 2008 & April, 2009) and have our third trip coming up in September/October. Prior to that, my DH and I visited in 1997 (his first trip to Disney) and I went twice with my parents when I was a kid (only MK though).

We are really excited about our next trip as we will be visiting Universal for the first time (WWWOHP - how can you resist?) and going to the MNSSHP which I am really EXCITED about!!

For each trip we have stayed on-site at Disney for the first half (POR and CBR) and at Bonnet Creek for the 2nd half. I love being immersed in all things Disney for 5-6 days and then moving over to Bonnet Creek (which is a beautiful property and steps from CBR) and being able to spread out a bit and do a bit of cooking, etc. It's the best of both worlds really!

We always rent a car once we go to BC and typically take a relaxed approach to the parks so we get to enjoy the pools, resort amenities, dining in some amazing restaurants, etc.

So that's me and my family!

This snow has me down....I'm homesick for Disney. Bought a Lotto Max today so who knows; I could be on a plane tomorrow.

A gal can dream can't she?

I'm Kim and live just outside Truro, NS. Enjoy your planning and don't be shy! There's a wealth of information here and everyone's really friendly!

Just bought my Lotto 6/49. Then the radio announced more snow...is that a sign????

 

[Christiekate]

Hi there from outside of Moncton NB

So - more snow again today. Shocker.

I will spend the day planning my trip and dreaming of bright sunshine! (We're going in March).

Right now I'm trying to decide if Fantasmic is worth the 90 minute line up and wait. The kids are starting to convince me it might be!

If it's still available, you can ry and get a reservation at one of three places in MGM (Hollywood and Vine, Momma Melrose and Brown Derby) and request the Fantasmic package. Gives you VIP entrance and reserved seating. We do it everytime.

Hey U2FanHFX! You must be psyched about the Moncton announcement!

I love Fantasmic, and I've gone once a trip. You should search it on youtube and see some videos. Personally, I think Fantasmic is worth the wait, and I've done it. Search the Fantasmic dinner package here on the Dis to read the reviews. Some people think it's awesome, some don't think it's worth it.

I already have tickets for TO a few weeks prior. I'm not really a field concert like person.

..... when we went last year we booked a dinner package at Momma Melrose's that included special entrance to Fantasmic. (have to book the Fantasmic package... not just reservations at Momma Mel) We went out the restaurant and around through a back entrance and directly to a special seating area. It was a bit of a walk but we did get great choice of seats and we did get to sit while waiting for the show to begin.

I'm glad it worked out for you! That's great. I've never done it, but I love the show, so if I was worried, I would probably do the Fantasmic package. The last two times, I waited in line for the second show, and waited and waited and waited. But I would rather do that and see the show than miss it all together. I try to see it my first night because I did on my first trip and it made me cry. I love it and it means I'm at WDW, of course... so do a lot of other things!
