Thanks again everyone for all the input. We did go ahead and go. Its strange how things work. The week before we left Hospice was coming to meet with us about Mom entering their services and then just a few days before we left she was up out of bed most of the day, smiling, visiting with...

Love the Trip report so far can't wait for me. Keep it all coming. :) congrats on the upcoming wedding and enjoy every minute of your trip.

Monday October 15. We were off to EPCOT this morning to get there by opening time. We were a little late with transportation stuff. This was one of those mornings where we didn't quite make it on the first EPCOT bus that came so we had to wait for another one. I learned at POFQ if you miss...

Sunday- Day 2. After a decent nights sleep we got to Magic Kingdom by the opening time. (Oh, did I forget to mention gracie didn't find that alarm clock she was looking for! I was shocked not to find it at World of Disney- however we would find one later!) Back to MK, Gracie loved Main Street...

I think its time to sit down and try to relive some of the magic typing up a trip report. I will need some advice at some point on adding photos. We did take some great ones but alas, I'm not so good at uploading them on the forums. Still have a lot to learn. :) Also- I want to thank those...

Mom is out of the hospital and doing much better after some IV fluids and some steroid treatments. She will have another appointment on this Thursday and test results won't be back in until the Thursday following our trip- so in the doctors opinion nothing too crucial should happen in the next...

My mother's health is deteriorating rapidly. I am scheduled to leave for WDW/US/IOA this coming Friday (Oct.12) and I would be gone for a week with my husband and my oldest daughter. We have been planning this trip for over a year and to say we were getting excited is an understatement- my 10...

I'm terrible at quoting but what DisneyGirl3820 said above is so close to my own. I'm a teacher and sometimes I will find myself thinking when I'm there about some of the students I work with that won't have the opportunity to have the WDW experience. For me its a magical place and brings me...

Pre-trip report. Very excited about upcoming trip and hoping to get some tips and tricks as its been a while since I've been and I feel like I know just enough to be dangerous. So.. who's going on this one? Me, Tobi. - the planner and reservation maker, I'm a teacher (8th grade) who LOVES...

Taking our 10 year old for the first time so not riding isn't an option. I usually pack an extra pair of shorts/underwear and plan on changing afterwards in the bathroom. My husband hates that I pack him some too but he appreciates it now, since one year I didn't and we were drenched and he :p...

October 16th. :) woo hoo

I know you said one park for two days but the beauty of Magic Kingdom and Epcot is - they are both on the monorail system- so you can go between the two of them pretty easily. We too have 5 days and I know our thoughts are we'll spend the last one split between these two- whichever one comes...

Wow, thanks for the responses. I feel much more prepared in terms of money to take for souvenirs- she's been doing really well saving allowance and doing odd jobs for grandparents etc to earn extra- I can see her easily having over 100 when we go- but the trick is making sure she has enough for...

Hi, my husband and I will be taking our 10 yr old daughter to WDW and US/IOA this coming October. My daughter is saving up all sorts of allowance and doing odd jobs to earn enough money for all her souvenirs- since we are doing US/IOA last I'm worried about her having enough left to get her big...

thank you thank you. What great news. You read things on those generic hotel review boards and you just don't know how much faith to put in the reviews sometimes. Somehow I knew this would be a good place to come to find out the straight story. YAY. Even more excited now. We'd always...
