There are a few of us that I have come across that list Swansea or Somerset in their posts. Our local family on the Dis is growing!

We love to try all the different restaurants but sometimes we'll cary in a sandwich for lunch and do a restaurant for dinner or vis a versa. Other times the PB&J or other snacks just tide us over to the next meal.

If we're going to eat at a park, for table service, we usually do it for lunch in the late afternoon. There's usually enough leftovers that we can take a designate a doggy bag person to put it all in a cooler in the cars for eating later. (This is where AAA diamond parking is awesome). Then we have it for late night room snacking, while carrying the peanut butter sandwich for in-park snack. Lunch at the restaurants is cheaper than dinner.

Welcome

Sunny Soph!

It must be a long flight for you to indulge in Disney, being in the UK! Do you go to Disney in France, Florida, or California?

Hello.

I'm looking forward to hearing about some of your strategies for doing disney with 11 people. We have six children and possible adding another one in the next year. We're going for our second time in Jan.

Oh, excellent! Maybe I'll make a big long post about it, and put it up on the Budget Board. One thing we were thinking about for the next trip was to combine with another large family group and get the primitive camp area at FW. Because groups renting that space get their own comfort station. Where are you staying in January?

Welcome to the Dis I think your "Disney Wintertime" party sounds soooo fun!!!! Can you give more info on what you do for the party?

Oh sure!!

1. Invites... "The Castle respectfully requests your attendance at the Winterland banquet.." or some such wording.

2. Get a GOOD cake. You can usually get one with Disney theme if you call ahead. Or bake one at home. (It's hard to go wrong with chocolate), but I think Stop and Shop is the place that has Disney designs w/ their pre-made cakes.

3. You can do it either with kids or with women only. I guess you could do it as a guys only event, but I've never done that, so I couldn't advise! This year I'm going to have a "moms-night-out" complete with sleepover, because there may be some from out of state.

4. Everyone from the local area is bringing something to eat for potluck. Out of state folk are bringing paper goods / soda. I'm undecided about whether I will allow alcohol. I almost never drink myself, and don't usually serve it since everyone is driving, but we won't have that worry this year.

5. Dinner is usually quite normal, shooting the breeze, and just relaxing. Usually we do a recipe exchange of things that are quick to make in microwaves, and without kitchens, because on a Disney trip no one has a kitchen!

6. I usually have a ton of leftover scrapbook stuff for Disney because one of my relatives is a BIG collector and has tons of this kind of thing, of which I am the lucky beneficiary.

That's the jist of it...I'll type up more another day. Games and stuff like that if you want kids.
