Can we talk about strollers for a bit? Younger DS will turn 5 a week after our trip and even though he hasn't used a stroller when we're home for over a year, I think he will definitely need one at DW. He does get tired after a couple hours of walking and since he's a big 4 yr old, we can't really carry him anymore. Last year on our trip we rented a City Mini from Magic Strollers and it was great but today we happend to be at BRU so I had him sit in a City Mini and it seemed a bit small for him. Is the newer version much bigger?

I was actually considering buying one rather than renting b/c we have our trip in Nov this year, hopefully a trip next August and I am hoping to book a surprise Christmas trip to DisneyLand. I'm just not sure if he will still want to use it next year at 5 1/2 and also thinking of the trouble of taking it through airport security and all that.

What do you guys think?

We have a quinny zapp. It's smaller and lighter, and the only stroller they will allow in cabin on the airplane. Our DD is 2 almost 3, and we still have to have one. It is super light,and can push it with a finger. It doesn't recline, but DD doesn't care she sleeps in it pretty easily.

Good Morning! I feel like working on bows today but I have to get a list together of what outfits I have so I can make bows..... I know I need one more MVMCP one. I to look at maybe renting a locker at AK due to having our MVMCP stuff for that night too:/ who thought of this trip ?!?!? LOL

Ive been thinking about the stroller I will take and how I can fit things underneath...now that I have my plan I have to figure these things out! Im a worrier LOL

DH and I figured out our back up plan if the school doesn't repay us in time. Hopefully Disney puts a discount out for February, but if not we will do what we did in April. We rented a house in town. We can't afford to stay at Disney without a discount. It was a $1500 difference. Doesn't help DD will be 3 if we go in February. The house with tickets and food would be about the same cost as the trip in November.. Don't get me wrong renting a 4bedroom townhouse is great, but I've never stayed at Disney. Until the money gets here I will be on pins and needles *fingers, crossed*

pixie dust for you! School wont let you pay half now and half later OR you can pay a little at a time to get the balance down? I dont know your financial situation but trying to offer suggestions!

The school requires full payment by August 9th for fall semester which starts August 21. It's very different from the universities I went to. It was due shortly after the semester started. This community college is the most disorganized school. Last 2 semesters teachers dropped him from online classes for no reason. Eventually the dean called one of the professors and asked why he was dropped. Answer i didnt know i dropped him. I'm really glad I never had these issues. I hate taking money out of our savings, and $4500 is a gigantic chunk. Eventually once the school gets their issues fixed, and get with the VA we will be refunded.

DS5 will definitely be riding in a stroller in November, and he will have just turned 6. We bought a Maclaren Volo a few years ago and it has been wonderful. Folds up like an umbroller, but the comfort and storage space of a regular stroller, with a carrying strap. I think it's designed for up to 55 lbs. Seems to be the most popular stroller at Disney; have to mark it well to not grab the wrong one.

I am trying it for the first time in November, after watching the various videos of how the sisters react to proposals. DH and I don't have any children, except our four legged furry ones. I am excited to try it. I think it will be so much fun!

My DD and I ate there back in 2006 on her college road trip- hard to believe now she has graduated, but the food was very good- IMO better than the other character meals- we had dinner there. The characters of course made the overall experience even more fabulous! I think you will love it!

 

[mommyof3princess27]

Oh you will fit just fine! I love it there!

I think I'm going to propose to the sisters that we be fiends and give them t friendship ring. DH doesn't really get into those kind of things!

I wil have 3! I think I am going to pring those ziploc bas(the XL ones) and try that... I wonder what
other ppl do? Maybe Ill ask on Fb. cuz that is a good question.

Last year I found a travel Space Bag at the Dollar Tree store and it worked great for my daughter's dress. I could roll all the air out and then it would be flat...then I could fold it or roll it and stick it in my backpack! Dress always came out looking great

Thanks ya'll for the replys. And mommyof3 thanks for posting the video.

I don't really know why I was starting to second guess this.....Maybe I am suffering from a mild case of need to change itis. It seems to hit all of us when things are running to smoothly.

Well DH and I went to Tusker House by ourselves and were seated at a lovely table for 2!
