Hi everyone!! I found your site through the help of some friends of mine who frequent here and Disney.
I'm currently in the long process of beginning to plan our first family vacation there for my family of 6. I have gone 2 other times, in middle school and high school, with my family. My husband and our 4 children, ages 10.5, 8, 3, 1.5 have never been. All 4 kids will have a birthday before our trip that were planning for Dec. 26th, 2014-January 2, 2015. We plan to give them the trip on Christmas and leave later that day to begin the 17ish hour long drive down!
Things I'm trying to figure out right now is whether or not I want to stay on site or off. Since we are a larger family and there really don't seem to be very many disney discounts that can be used during our holiday visit, it seems to be around $2000 cheaper for us to stay off site. We will have our vehicle from driving down for transportatin but I worry that staying off site will cut down on the Disney excitement of this trip. But also then if my sister and brother in law figure out they are able to come with us we would already have room for them offsite and save them the cost of lodging.
I have a very early version of our itinerary started including which parks and meals each day. Where is the best place I can post that to get tips and advice on it?
I don't know a lot of the lingo yet but looking forward to learning as I go!!
