LOL, that's funny you have two teams for AK! I love it there. You guys will have a great time.

 

[brookelizabeth]

Wow! I'm impressed! You guys are so organized, I love your ideas of the spreadsheets and the Teams, genius for a group of 7 wanting to do different things, yet be together. Your plans look fantastic!!

And I'm suddenly craving Chinese food.

Love the planning. And here's a vote for Yak & Yeti. We loved it when we went in 2008.

Awesome AK plans! I think it's great that you're sticking together for a lot of things but also have time where you're splitting up! What a great way to make sure everyone in group of 7 gets to enjoy their days to the fullest!

The AK plan looks great Julie!

I'm undecided about Sunday for now too... I don't think I'll be jumping on the first bus to round the corner but we'll see...

I'm excited to find Tower of Terror at Epcot for our scavenger hunt!

Anne Marie & I will have to get our butts in gear when I get back from my weekend getaway next weekend and start working on the MK & DHS plans. The bar has been set high!

I have a feeling that I'll be doing up some plans for those two parks too. Oddly enough, I find it relaxing!

Even if you're unable to watch, perhaps you'd be interested in taking the quiz:

Wow! I didn't do so well... Just means I need to keep learning!

 

[kayrosek]

Great quiz, thanks for sharing Kathy.

 

[eandesmom]

is it wrong that it made me sad that I did pretty well on that quiz?

I don't think so. A lot of us that have been living with someone on the spectrum would do pretty well. Our goal should be to make others aware of the information.

Don't we all...

Great quiz, thanks for sharing Kathy.

You're welcome!

No... don't be sad. You've just been keeping up with the times!

Well-said, Anne Marie!

Knowledge is power!!

I did pretty well on the quiz too, though I have to admit a couple of them were lucky guesses. I suppose being a teacher helped too.

 

[disneycruising]

Thanks for the quiz...Great info!

I got 13 out of 20. Not sure if that is good or bad, but did learn something new. I guess that is what counts the most.

Your AK day plans look amazing! I love the "nonplan plan". I can't imagine going in anymore without at least a strategy. I'd love to see some of the spreadsheets too. I am a spreadsheet lover. Back when I was teaching, people came to me whenever they wanted spreadsheets or homemade worksheets. Neat columns and boxes make me happy.

I got a 70% on the quiz. I am sure I could have done better 7 years ago, but that was when I was working kids who had ASD every day. Those numbers are really powerful.

 

[kayrosek]

is it wrong that it made me sad that I did pretty well on that quiz?

Oh I understand. For me it was the fact that my 13 yr old did almost as well as I did. It was bittersweet. I'm so totally proud but also a little sad.

I agree well said... I think I'm going to pass along these links to my family
