Just so excited ...can't contain myself and want to thank everyone who has given me advise and suggestions on this Board. We (me, DH and twin duaghters - just turned 7) are off to Florida next Saturday (Aug, 22nd). We are staying 1 night/2 days at the Nick and then heading off to AKL for 4 nights/5 days. We have all been to Disney World before but the last time was when the girls were just 3 - we had a good time but they were afriad of the big-sized characters, shows in the dark and the noise from the Illuminations display(i.e. firecrackers in the sky). Now they are older and so not afraid of these things anymore - so we should all have a much more enjoyable time this time around .....Plus - my girls have been learning how to swim (I am the only one who can't swim) so they will have a fabulous time at all the pools. Anyway, this will be our first time at a Disney Deluxe and first time using the DDP. Then we are off to Miami Beach for 5 days ...we visited there before and hubbie likes it alot - we got a real nice rate on a good hotel on the Beach. Thanks everyone.
