Oh yeah, I teach at a university and we get those, too, but Winter Break is over Christmas so high point costs! Fall break might be a good option, though, thanks.
You can pull that in elementary school, but if they go to a rigorous school system that really doesn’t fly starting in about 7th grade.
Alrighty, we'll enjoy it while it lasts, I guess. lol
Yikes, she sounds serious!We pulled our son out of school for 3 days at the end of October for our trip and got scolded by his teacher for only informing the school and not her because had she known she would have given him assignments to do.
He was 4 and in TK.
Yes! Really looking forward to it!Have you VGC peeps seen the rundown of what's coming to Disneyland for the 70th? I'm so excited for Paint the Night, the return of Wondrous Journeys, and to see a new World of Color. We usually only go once every 1.5-2 years since we're on the East Coast (go to WDW in between), but I think this will be enough to help me convince DH that we gotta go twice in 2026
Also, Magic Happens is my favorite parade/parade song ever, I watch it at least twice per trip. I'll be thrilled if they run this in the day concurrently with Paint the Night!
Even at a not-especially-rigorous public school with a bright child, we're finding it to be much harder to miss a week in 4th grade than it was in 2nd/3rd grade. It's not just that they are learning fundamental math skills but they are taught in a way that is not intuitive to us and she needs to be able to do them the way the school wants.
I am a VGC/DLR peep and this may be a hot take but I am sad they are bringing PTN instead of MSEP. I would have been fine with both, but I don't think PTN is anywhere near as appropriate for a milestone anniversary and the Owl City song is too whiny for my taste and gets stuck in my head just thinking about it now, I bet my kids will love it though. Even hotter take: I like Mickey's Mix Magic even more than Wondrous Journeys (though I'm not suggesting it for a milestone anniversary, lol). I wish they'd either gone with something new or further back in the vault (or a mix of various shows through the years)... Wondrous Journeys feels a bit like phoning it in to me-- but I also know I'm spoiled as a local and the good news is that it means I don't need to camp out on Main Street and can take advantage of low crowds instead.Have you VGC peeps seen the rundown of what's coming to Disneyland for the 70th?

Maybe they are saving MSEP for the 75th? That feels like a bigger anniversary year to me.
Up until and including gr. 7, I was willing to pull my kids out of school but now that they are in high school I'm far less willing to do this! So - we are going to Florida in the peak of summer heat

I see what you are saying but am also bummed it would mean we’re unlikely to see it before 2030, at which point my kids will be well into their teens. They saw the most recent version of it in 2021(?) but may not remember it well— that’s so different from the millennial experience of catching it each year we went.
Some smoke coming off this post!
If I didn’t have nearly 3000 posts and several hundred DVC points, people would probably assume that I was just trolling—but what can I say? I love Mickey’s Mix Magic. If we could get it on Apple Music, our family would listen to it on every drive to DLR.
Face the tree, Mickey! You’re not the star of this ornament!
