We just returned from a magical 11 night stay at the Walt Disney World resort. It was my family's first trip, and we had an awesome time!It was magical from beginning to end, and we are all sad to be home
. The weather was perfect, not too hot, not too cold, and crowds were manageable. My biggest tip is to get to the parks early, use fastpass, and take a break in the middle of the day. It worked wonders for us. We used the GAC card several times with no issues.We had a stamp for DD5 to sit in the front at shows,a stamp for DD3 to make sure everyone knew that her PANDA chair is a wheelchair(plus a sticker on the chair). DD 5 had 7 seizures during the whole trip(3 in the parks;4 in the room)and they were all handled well by Disney. DD3 had 4 seizures during the whole trip(1 in the parks,two in the room).We did not have to pay for DD5 at the meals since she is tube fed(except for character meals). The trip was extra special for us;as we had some special moments of our own: DD 5 smiled,laughed, giggled, and made her "happy" noises several times during the trip(things she rarely does at home). DD3 did all those things, plus said her first word(Mickey)!We are officially addicted to Disney, and have reservations for Animal Kingdom Lodge October 18-27th 2006,plus tickets to MNSSHP. I will post a full trip report later,
