Thanks for the link, braydens mom. I will be there with my then 22 mo. old from 12/3-10 at Pop (anyone else?). It took me a while to convince myself that it was not only possible, but might actually be a lot of fun! This article confirmed my thinking.

Hey mom..yeah too bad on the dates...but you get to go a whole month before us for you!! Well have fun in August! We usually go in October, but moved it up this year to take advantage of free dining & my B'day in Sept. Really looking forward to it because we didn't go last year.

I took my son last year was he was 17 months and will be taking him at 28 months this year. Honestly, just do your own thing and have fun, there is so much that you can do.
One little place we will be making a tradition is the barber shop, my son got his first hair cut there, and Chip came running in to grab some pixie dust and played with my son for a minute or two...it was very "magical"

oH MY GOSH i NEVER THOUGHT OF THE BARBER SHOP in MK My son will be 20ish months next disney trip in November&December I am excited for his first Disney hair cut euuh, on second thought, his hair is growing pretty quickly already

I will be with family, but any other Moms (or Dads ) in their 20's with a toddler Nov-15 to 20, March 7-12, 2010???

Single mom (38) with DD9 will be at WDW from 6/18 - 6/28 staying at CSR. Anyone else going then? Would love to meet up!

DS(10) and I are currently staying at ASSports 8/21-9/6/09.

I have 2 weeks of vacation left for the year (+ 3 floating holidays) and had been planning on using most of it in August for this trip. Just heard today that I might only be able to take one week vacation at a time.

Hoping it will work out to take the two weeks at once. If not, we will probably travel 8/28-9/6/09.

BTW, August is my only real downtime of the year, my position is unique but generally it is frowned upon to take your vacation weeks back to back like this, also, my current supervisor (which will change in August) messed up the tracking of my vacation days (to cover her mistake she suggested I break up the week she messed up by taking it a few hours or a day at a time over the summer!!!) and now there might be a big stink about straightening it all out! ughhh! It is very frustrating, but hopefully it will all work out.

Let me, being a fellow Canadian and only a few miles west down the 401, welcome you to the site !!! Any abreviation starting with a d/D (DD, DS, DH, DW) stands for dear .... dear daughter, dear son, dear husband, dear wife. Wish I was able to go south next week but, alas, Mr Harper has taken over that end of things until October. Have a fantastic time and keep in touch on this thread. This thread might interest you too ... they are planning a meeting of fellow Disney people in Niagara Falls in the fall.

Hi,

I just discovered this board today. Haven't had a chance to read through yet.
My plans are not fixed yet ... I have bit flexible dates. I want to visit with My sons, 9 and 13. I am thinking of mid-July. It would be great to make friends with others ! By the way, this would be my first time to Florida. Lot of things for me to learn about visiting it !

Hello

I'm "hoping" to go August 16-20th & stay at the POP We have always stayed at the ASSports so I'm excited to try a new hotel. Hopefully I'll know by the end of the week!

 

[Trep72]

We're less than 2 months away!!!

Me (50) and my son (15 almost 16) will be in Orlando on 3 Aug – 11 Aug 09. Sending a shout out to any single moms with teenage kids. I didn’t tell my son where we are going on this years adventure and I’m a little worried that he’ll think he’s too old for this. We’ve been going to Disneyland since he was a baby and this is his second trip to the World. I’m not sure if he wants to hang out with me the whole time and getting up at 6 in the am is not his thing. Maybe I can find him a friend to hang out with. (He’ll hate me for this)

We’ll be staying at POP let me know if you would like to have a cup of coffee and get rid of the teens for an afternoon.

I'm new to this so I hope I'm posting at the right place. Let me know if you want to see a photo. I can send you one or send you to my Facebook.

Hey everyone,

I'm a single mom of an 18 DD and 14 DS. I have scheduled a trip with a friend to DW 8/31-9/5/09. This will be the first trip I have taken without my kids and I feel so guilty but excited at the same time. I'm only getting to take this trip because of the free dining. It's not often that a person can go for around $500.00 (including food for 5 days), so I just couldn't resist I am excited to be able to go with a fellow Disney fanatic so I know we will have an awesome time.

I'm affraid to tell my kids. I know they are not going to be happy campers but my DD has graduated High School and is off and doing her thing now and my DS is tied down with High school and band so he isn't able to take a trip right now.

I'm so glad to have found this discussion because I know I will want to go on future trips and it would be great to have friends to meet up with to share the magic. Look forward to talking to you all.
