I was an obsessive Disney vacation planner before finding the DIS.....and I was planning our first trip in 5 years, also our first with our ds, in early 1999. I decided to search the web to see if there was any place where I could get additional information and tips for planning our trip....and came across several sites, but the DIS was where I seemed to find the nicest people and best information. Its amazing how this site has grown!
