we are planning an extended family trip for October 3-10, 2009. I hope HP is open for our trip, but I fear it will be open later in 09, early 10. It will be our first trip to US/IOA so I am very excited. Last time we did WDW only, my ds's were pretty young. For our 09 trip, ds's will be 10 and 6. I am just in the planning phase right now. I am glad I have a long time to research and plan our trip.
