sorry Amy I got a bit behind...
don't I know that...I joined the Dis w/ one question for our 2008 trip about a stroller and it has turned into a whole lot more plus 2 trips later I'm on to planning my 3rd and 3 others in the works w/in the next 4 yrs
do you mind if I chime in?
this seems to be an age 'ol question...
my children have been 2-3 times and their 3rd/4th trip is around the corner The older two were 6 on their first trip and do remember things specifically from each one, even stuff I have forgotten...my middle one was 2 1/2 her first trip so she doesn't remember much from it so the last two are more current to her and like Amy's kids some things blend in together...but her favorite things stay clear!
My youngest just turned 3...so I don't know "what" she remembers but she knows she's been there and who is there and can't wait to go again!
I say go alot if you can when kids are little cause you know it will slow up when they hit those teens years...
I remember when you made those shirts
I know you already booked Boma (did I spell that right?) as never eaten there I still that would be great...w/ all the recent TR's we've read about AKL...it looks amazing there and that would be fun for all to see...I love CP's tips...
one other thought to add some other stuff to the dinner beyond characters (besides Heidi's suggestion of the BW) is Trails End Rest. at FWC...I'm not sure the food is top rate...but it worked for us w/ a buffet and tables when we did 13 there in '05 and the kids like walking around the campground and the twins saw and took their picture w/ some of the HDDR performers that were outside somewhere
I wasn't w/ them as my SIL took the pic.
like the ADR changes I can even follow it now
...seems like it is coming together for you know...
sad to hear CRT may be on the cutting floor, but understnad the trade off of more family time for the boys w/ their cousins...I'm sure you'll dine there one of these days

Unfortunately the shirts I made didn't hold up after one washing!

Today I finally got some answers from Jeff & Karen about their plans for April!
I already heard back with a "whatever you want is great with us" answer about the restaurant, but haven't heard about the water park. Depending on what they say about the waterpark, we'll either go Wednesday as planned, or switch it to Friday so they can join us. We'll see...
This also means that DMIL will be with us for the whole week. She'll visit her mother (Great Gramma - GG) for a week, then come to Orlando with us when we visit her on Sunday 4/25. She'll hang out with us on our first few park days, then she'll hang out with Jeff & the gang at the end of the week. She'll fly home with us.
So what's next?
I am going to come up with two itineraries - one for each of the waterpark options - and try to build in as much flexibility as possible on Thursday - Saturday... which may mean canceling CRT!I can't imagine the kids will be too happy to leave the condo early in the morning, while their cousins are still there. I suspect our last two days will involve later starts in the morning.
I think this is very smart...you are so good w/ that...
I also need your HELP... what is a good restaurant for nine people ranging in age from 6 to 66? It can't be in a park. Probably not a character meal - we have two teenagers involved. And we have at least two picky eaters in the mix - me & Alex.
Suggestions??
