Thanks!
I guess I should start from when I was a kid (you know waaaaaaaay back when considering I'm 24 now, lol). We would go with my granny, great granny, aunt, cousin, dad, mom and once my brother was born he came too! We would go every year, usually at the end of summer when it was super busy. I didnt mind, at the time a 2 hour wait for a 2 hour ride was part of the fun. Once my parents took me (when I was two) during Christmas and that trip has my earliest memory of anything, so how cool is it that my first memory was shying away from Minnie at MK during the Christmas parade
(More like I began to bug out as she got closer, but once she stepped back into the parade I was a happy camper again).
We always did everything that we wanted. Back then there were only 3 parks. Once AK came along we changed the time of year to non-busy April and May dates. One tip I give to people with children, my dad would have us get our homework for anything the teacher knew of after spring break, BEFORE spring break. We went to school in MI so school's down south would be on spring break the week before us, then our spring break, then he would schedule our vacation. Technically we would be out of school a extra week, but because we got extra school work we never fell behind. That worked pretty much perfect because FL weather was nice and warm and we were still before the college kids or HS seniors graduated.
The last time I went we went in November and decided that was definitely the time to go! Low crowds, great weather, especially good for first timers. I thought my family was the only family that could hold conversations and weave them with Disney movie sayings. I know WDW better than I do Detroit (where I'm from). I remember when McDonald's was only a cart at MK with 4 options. . . hamburger/cheeseburger, 6 piece nugget, fries (one size) and or a big mac. I remember and still refer to DHS as MGM. I know you need to be at RD head to SM and the Indy Karts then over to CP (ADR of course) then attack FL from the back (we usually bi-passed FL altogether, it was more of a way to get to Frontierland!)
All in all, I am one Army brat that trained and ready at all times for a WDW adventure!!!
, you most likely will not find cards from the 18 card set at WDW, since they have been retired, but eBay does have quite a bit from that set, plus I might have some extras
, so what I'm thinking of doing is making that day our Sea World day and making a later ADR for Portobello's
, We will be driving I'd pick you up but we will be all packed for our return trip home
ct 4, anything goes Oct 5, home Oct 6.
I'd love to join the commando club. I was trying to read through from the beginning before I joined but two days in I'm only at page 23.
I will come back to give my full "story" in a bit, but I must say. . . I'M SO HAPPY I FOUND YOU ALL!!! 
I am just really glad to find you all, what a great resource.
