Hi...

I certainly meet many of the criteria listed. I plan all our trips and just keep my DW informed when its all set. I am also the one who is always keeping up with the postings on these boards and on the DVC site.

I'm fortunate that I moved to Florida before meeting my DW and we now can visit 5 times a year or more! We finally purchased DVC last summer and are loving every minute of it. I'm blessed with 2 DDs that are as obsessed as I am with everything Disney.

My DW has to keep me in check on speding more money for add ons to our DVC resorts.

Our kids rooms are decorated completely Disney and we have a full DVD library. I too, like to watch the movies with them. I can't wait until my girls are big enough to ride some roller coasters with me because my DW won't do it!

We currently have 3 trips booked (BCV 8/29 - 9/1), (AKV 2/13 - 2/16), (SSR 4/5 - 4/8), and looking for one more soon.

Thanks!
Litty

I'm new here. I feel like an alcoholic returning to a bar. Our last trip was in 2006 and I've been trying to limit my Disney planning since then. We had been going every 18 months or so for a stretch before that and were starting to feel like we were limiting ourselves so we started branching out with vacations to Boston, Washington D.C., Lake Georege, NY, Williamsburg, Jamaica as well as Ski trips and the like. My problem is that when I go to Disney I love to do it BIG. I love t do Concierge, Behind the Scenes tours, extra recreation so I usually blow our vacation budget. The thing is, and people are incredulous when I say this, there is no family vacation that is more relaxing than a Disney Vacation. The kids are happy the whole time, my wife is content and I feel like I'm a kid again. So... the minute my wife said m"maybe we should go to Disney again, I had fofour different guidebooks out and was on three different websites to once again plan the perfect trip. Even though we're goingit eight months from now, it's all I can think about. I'm constantly thinking, "Where should we eat? How much time do we have to spend in each park? I wonder whch days will be EMH in which parks. What attractions are the boys getting too old for? You get the idea.

All of this, so I can ask if I can join this thread because i've finally found like minded Dad's who share my obsession.

I'm all about preparation for deadlines. I already booked my room at YC. I'm waiting for Jetblue to book flights. My next task will be to have my dining plans ready so I can make ADR's in November.

The questions that I'll have for other Disney Dad's is whether the experience will be different now that my sons will be 12 and 14 when we go. They were 9 and 11 for our last visit.

 

[dvczerfs]

hay padisfam2, i hope you have a pat. pend on the stroller idea, your going to go down in oct and disney will be renting strollers w/ lights on them for an extra 20 bucks a pop! do we have any pat. lawyers in the crowd?

Very cool stroller, my wife (Disney Brat) has told me about it!! She talks to Mrs. Pad over on the random thread! She has told me that we may be going to MNSSHP on the 28th like you guys, maybe we will get to see that stroller in action!

Now you have me thinking about making a stroller into an ECV for kids...lol

Hope to see ya there!! The 28th is our first night and we leave on 11/3.
Staying a AKV. How about you?

 

[PADisFam2]

That Stroller is a great idea ! It makes me wish I had some kids small enough to ride in one so that I could make them a Spectro Stroller!

I call it Spectro Magified

 

[PADisFam2]

hay padisfam2, i hope you have a pat. pend on the stroller idea, your going to go down in oct and disney will be renting strollers w/ lights on them for an extra 20 bucks a pop! do we have any pat. lawyers in the crowd?

We'll probably see you there too, PadisFam2 - we're doing a split stay arriving on the 24th (BWV) and then switching over to AKV on the 27th, and leaving on the 2nd. We'll probably see you on the buses, if nothing else!
