You all are absolutely wonderful and incredibly wise! I had been starting to feel like I wouldn't be able to do "enough," but now I realize that all I really have to do is relax and love them and let the magic fit in wherever it will fit best. Tiggerific, I love your idea of just being silly. I...

Lots of great suggestions! I'm starting to really look forward to having a little magic (and trying to stay realistic about how much it will help). It will just be good for us to be together and make some memories. Thanks!

Thanks for all your suggestions, orangewarrior. And thanks for the wise advice, nemo14. Those are good things to remember. I think I may print out your responses and carry them in my pocket! drypelia

As I was driving home today on the pot-hole fields that pass for roads in the Great Northeast, it occurred to me that I was getting a very bumpy ride. What makes it OK is that the seat is cushioned and there's back and neck support. So I guess that I mostly need to factor those things in...

Ahhhh. Of course! Those are the sorts of things I need to be reminded of. Thanks!

Wow! You folks are speedy! :D Thanks for the input! I know everyone's experience is different, but I really do appreciate the opinions about the rides. It's been 3 years since we were there last, and it's a little hard to remember the specifics. And, of course, you're right that there's plenty...

So we're planning our 6th trip to WDW this coming April - the week after Easter, no less :hammer:, but I just found out that, at the tender age of 50, I have fairly advanced osteoporosis. My Dr. says to "act like you're 85 - no horseback riding, that sort of thing." I don't intend to let this...
