Hi All
We are new here, it looks like an amazing wealth of information; we are definitely going to go through.
We are a family of 5, although our eldest is nearly 19 and not sure if she will be tagging along every time now. Does anyone have any older children now, what are your experiences of them joining the trip? Do they pay for themselves or do you contribute etc?
We are Chris & Kelly and both have been to Disney World when we were younger with our parents. We started going with our children in 2018, and just completed our 4th trip and we have videos on YouTube documenting our trips. Our latest trip we went as a family of 11, my parents and my sisters family. Anyone had experiences going as a larger family?
We are considering DVC and went for a meet at the Grand Floridian and they showed us around the Poly Island Towers. Since we have come home we have researched more and had a session thrashing it out of pros and cons lol and came to the decision buying direct is not worth the direct perks, when we can get resale for like half the cost. I thought the Moonlight Magic would be great but then found out you have to hit on the event being announced when we have booked and even then you have to try and get tickets in a queue, and stories don't seem great for getting them.
Sorry this is a lot of information on different topics really for a first post. I've got so much info to tell and questions to ask
