Just back from our first trip, and man what a great vacation it was. I have some friends who go yearly, sometimes twice a year, and having never been I was a bit skeptical about the value/worth/magic. Boy was I wrong, the whole 16 hour drive home my wife and I could not stop talking about how incredible everything was and how even if we had paid twice the amount we paid it would have been worth it. DD had an incredible time including a few truly magical moments and I, as a bit of a skeptic, was fully converted and now am contemplating planning our next trip and/or buying into DVC.
Side note: Thanks to everyone on this site for all of your wonderful helpful information that assisted us in making our trip exceptional. The planning and information I got from this site, helped me streamline our trip, schedule each park visit, FP+, afternoon breaks each day for DD to play at the pool and recover, to maximize the fun and the wife agrees it couldn't have gone any better. Thanks again DIS family!
