Hi---Stayed at CBR!! In Martinique.That was great. My kids loved the towel animals which we got each day.

Crowds...definately used the early entry days which worked good with 2 kids ages 1 and 3. All parks were VERY crowded by 1pm, when we were returned for naps and pool. I don't know how all you Easter people do it.

Can't wait to go back again. My daughtere wanted to join a new family so she can go back sooner.

We just got back, too! (3-15 to 3-22)

The crowds were not bad at all except in Fantasyland at the MK. Peter Pan's Flight was up to a 90-minute wait at one point on Friday, while Space Mtn. and Splash Mtn. only had 15 to 20-minute waits! Pooh also had a really long wait.

We never had to wait more than 15 minutes for anything--a lot of rides we just walked on, especially at Epcot (boy was it deserted there!). I found we got a lot more done avoiding EE and going to a non-EE park at opening. I will never do EE again--not worth the hassle!

I noticed that you just got back from a trip to DW with your two children ages 1 and 3. We are going to DW this June with our two sons ages 1 and 6. Any thoughts or suggestions you had on your trip with your little one I would really appreciate. We have been before when our older son was 3 but going with a 14 month old has me a little nervous. We plan to go slow, take naps, take afternoon breaks and just enjoy the time with our kids but any specific things you found useful would really be great.

Thanks in advance

hi--You were right on target with traveling with young kids. I just took my kids ques and went with the flow--after all that is WHY we were there and really had a blast. My one year old need time out of the stroller, so we took time to let him walk and play. Definately did nap and pool time(I think we all needed it).

Alot of people raved about the "dino dig" area in Animal Kingdom..didn't like it at all since it was too many kids/parents to make me comfortable and no way to match kids with parent when they were leaving the play area.

If you are doing character meal, both kids loved crystal palace and since it was buffet and kids being loud and spilling was ok. PLus Pooh and friends were cute. We used that as our big meal and then just ordered a pizza for dinner.

Definately great character interaction at Epcot's opening in the morning..More then we could imagine and lots of time to get those important autographs and pics.

any other ????"s
