Hi everyone!
It will be our first time, with me, DH and DD4 (soon to be 5). I'm so nervous, but excited too - I've been reading everything I can on the subject.
So far we're going to be at AoA Little Mermaid (my daughter is nuts for Little Mermaid) and deluxe dining. Planning on doing a ton of ADRs with character meals (breakfasts and dinners).
I do have one question (it may have been answered already but I'm only at page 5) - has anyone rented a car at Disney and how would you compare it to the bus system? I'm wondering if it's worth the extra $$$ to rent a car and not worry about making ADRs on time (plus facilitate afternoon breaks).
And - how do I subscribe to this thread?
Oh yes, one last question - we're from Canada so when some of you describe the weather as "freezing", is it freezing by Canadian standards too? It gets pretty darned cold (especially with humidity) here.

Trying to figure out what to pack (but we will definitely have winter coats because we still have to get to our Canadian airport in the middle of winter (and hopefully not a blizzard!!)
