And, why do you think so many people from NJ love WDW so much? It's interesting...I live in Phoenix, and I am one of the few "Disney nuts" around here.

I think part of it is that we are closer than you are. Its a 20 hr drive-not short but not impossible. And it's less than 2-1/2 hours by plane. Cold winters are another reason we head south.

Also, a lot of us will probably become "snowbirds" when we're older. I guess we are kind of in training now!

Got it!!! Thanks, guys!! I was beginning to think there was a conspiracy....all WDW "nuts" were secretly told to move to NJ...and, I haven't been invited!!!!

But, things are looking up....we may be moving home to Texas!!!! I am SOOOO excited. I will only be about 2-2 1/2 hrs by plane to WDW...gosh, I really hope this happens!!!

but the waits are nothing!

We were there during NJ week last year. We witnessed 90+ waits for Space Mtn, Splash Mtn, BTMR, Peter Pan, Pooh, Test Track, Rock N Roller to name a few. It does seem this past year was one of the busiest NJ Weeks. Didn't seem nearly as bad in '99, '00, '01 or '02.

Yikes! My kids are still young, so we don't usually get to do a lot of the E-ticket rides like Space Mountain or Rock and Rollercoaster, but as my son gets older (he's 6) he does want to try a new one or two each year. I don't see us waiting for rides that long. Thank heavens for FAST PASS!
