I just want to take this opportunity to THANK everyone on this board for all the information you have provided. I don't think I could have planned this trip without all of your information.
My DW has been looking at me funny all week while we were packing stuff. She asked me "Why are you doing that?" My reply was "Because I learned alot of stuff on DIS while you thought I was just playing on my puter"
Bags are packed, hotel and dining reservations confirmed, all that is left to do now is play (and drive a little).
If you don't mind, I have a little advise for Newbies like myself:
***** 1 ***** Plan on spending many,many,many,many hours/days/weeks/months on this board. There is so much valuable information here that changes every day. This ranges from packing to airlines to hotel to parks to how to dress your children.
Most important things I have learned here:
Take a picture of your name/address/phone number as first photo on camera/phone/camcorder in case it is lost
Strollers are ok for kids of any age.
Take a picture of your children every morning with the clothes they are going to wear that day
Make your dining reservations at exactly 7am at the 45 day mark - I was on the phone with a CM at 7:05 and couldn't get everything we wanted
Do not swim in the lakes or soak your feet in the foutains.
If you are flying SW, refunds are available if the price drops, and everything else stays the same (even on GetAway). Also make sure you do online check in exactly 24 hrs prior to your flight.
"Pool Hopping" is no longer considered appropriate.
Again thank you all for your assistance. I can't wait to get to the world.
