I Can't Believe I Feel This Way...

[bub]

I can definitely relate to the teenager dilemma. My 16-year old would rather go somewhere else, but my DD 14 is still excited to go to WDW. We skipped last year and so I'm looking forward to going back this summer. I think we'll divide our time between complete relaxation (pool, renting water sprites, a leisurely brunch) and commando days. I find it's hard to visit the parks in a relaxed way in the summer, due to heat and crowds, but if we only do the parks part of the time, we can devote the rest to hanging out and doing very little.

Take a year off and you'll probably be ready to return.

We are also doing ABD (not on points..heavens). Backstage Magic, Jan 09. Can't wait.

I can't for the life of me figure out what "ABD" is. HELP!

Adventures by Disney is ABD. Alot of them go overseas to very cool and exotic places, but being a flying chicken, I chose the Backstage Magic which starts you off in LA with tours at the Sudios and such, then you get special tours and things at DL and DCA. You stay in great places and most meals are paid. They are essentially guided tours, 40 people max, with a Disney touch

Which hotel do you stay in for the Backstage magic? I hope it is Grand Californian.

I've found that our Disney vacations have transitioned over the years. Some
trips we do everything, some trips we do nothing(barely leave the resort). It's
fun to mix it up and try to experience Disney in different ways. Once a Disney
lover, always a Disney lover. You will most definitely be back.

I agree with those who say that maybe a trade through II might help to cure your boredom. I know that this is not the best use of your points from a financial standpoint, but it surely can be from a vacation standpoint, especially if you've reached Disney overload.

We've traded out several times and have never been disappointed. We've also used our points to go to VB and have really enjoyed those trips too.
