Hi there mamaprincess!

just back from a short weekend hop to SSR and yes, we had a building with NO DTD view...... we were in a 1 bedroom in Congress Park 2314 and looked out at the bus stop - but it was still a pretty view being up on the 3rd floor. and the advantage was that we were able to time the buses : ex. once the EPCOT bus left, we knew the next one would be there in 20 minutes...we never waited more than 5 minutes for a bus our entire stay!

no matter, it was wonderful!

Welcome back!!!

The last time we had a DTD view was our first trip. It was so gorgeous. We aren't picky so our only request is usually a smoke free room. You guys were so smart to use your view to save time at the bus stop.

Does anyone ever go to the members website to the SSR page just to listen to the theme music and dream? I do!!

I wish I could put music into a post!

Was I the only one lame enough to try to click on the sound button?

We've been 3-times without the kids. While I love taking the kids and always have fun...those 3 trips are the best we've ever had

I can't believe I'm saying this but...personally I would rather take the kids and leave DH at home! Actually just me and my youngest, DD - 8. DH & DS could take it or leave and always bum me out. DD on the other hand is always as happy to be there as me. She was asking just a little while ago where we were staying next trip! This summer she & I are going alone for a week before DH & DS join us. Now that will be fun!

People, People Please!!!

Goodness Dh and I could use one of those child-free, blissful vacations you guys are all aglow about. No fighting amongst the twins, no spoiled rotten ungrateful melt downs leading to family yelling... I've got to muster the guts to make this happen.

How do you get up the nerve to tell your kids you're going without them?

The kids aren't getting ripped off. They are still going to Disney for Halloween and Christmas/New Yeras, plus Atlantis and probably Mrytle Beach in the Summer! Wow are they spoiled!

Well, we used to just sneak off and not tell them. They would stay over at grandparent's house and were none the wiser. They are older now, so we pretty much tell them to suck it up!

Actually, we tell them that we need "our" time too, and they understand............sort of.

The May trip we are going to the Flower & Garden Show. No fun for teenagers!

We're going to do CP in May and I am just waiting for the 5 yr old to say. "It's just someone in a costume." He's getting to be such a "big boy" just lost his first tooth last week.

When my son was five we expected the same thing. After a few days he took DH and I aside and said, "I know that's just a mouse wearing clothes, but don't worry I won't tell anyone." We still aren't sure what he meant, but it sure was funny!

I never knew this thread would start me down the dark road of dishonesty, but if a childless trip to WDW is at the end of that road...

That's our family. DH goes every few years, but mostly it's DDs and I. DH isn't even on our contract...it's me and 21yo DD.

Go for it...it's wonderful to go childless once in a while. Most of our trips are with our kids (ok they're adults now) and extended family so the few childless trips we've had were heaven.

Last Oct/Nov was our second WDW childless trip. We were going to take another one the end of April, but I broke down and invited our 6 year old niece.

Some interesting and cute pictures. I will be staying at SSR from December 14 to December 22. The last two years I spent at VWL and BMW, so I'll see how the Christmas season compare

Well my SIL and brother usually just keep their travel plans under wraps until it's time to pawn the kids off on babysitters. They usually get a lot of time with grandparents, aunts, cousins and friends, so they're not missing much.

My problem is the opposite. My dad and I have planned 4 trips over the last two years during spring, fall and winter. We once had a three bedroom at Marriott's Grande Vista and no one, absolutely no one, took us up on the offer to come, not even for a long weekend. We gave up on inviting them. So much more fun to go solo, have an AP and only have to contend with one other person's moods.
