    Son scheduled to be in DCP starting end of May so if he's there we'll be there a bunch in 2020. If that doesn't pan out, probably 2021 for 50th...

    First Time Trip Summer Timing Advice Needed...

    We've gone at the end of August and had GREAT trips at that time. Crowds are manageable...not non-existent, but not annoying or overwhelming...so with planning and fast pass reservations it's a lot of fun. The two most important things... plan breaks for pool and a/c...I grew up in NJ so I...

    sussing out the Disney fans out there

    Yup, someone with Disney garb is a great entree into a conversation. I look for folks wearing some kind of WDW anniversary shirt or particular year of visit, i.e. "Magic Kingdom 2015", folks with that I find tend to be pretty into it...

    That's a good point. Just about any other place that one may go regularly for vacation...around here 'Cape Cod', 'Maine', 'Lake George' all come to mind...don't receive anywhere near the derision that a Disney-regular visit get. Interesting...Perhaps just the 'Brand' does it? Or the...

She doesn't talk about it with other professors, but she had 'Soarin' as her ring tone for a while...it's her favorite ride...and one day she accidentally left her ringer...

    Excellent Dan, I too am a school bus driver but I haven't played Disney music on the bus. We've got a one-bell system, so we have all grades K-12 on the bus together. I'm afraid that the middle (especially) and high schoolers who are NOT into it would really make it a bad idea for the...

    POLL: What is your favorite park and most importantly, why?

    I find AK to be the most immersive for me, and I LOVE the food and shows there...everybody always talked about it as a 'half day park', especially before Pandora. I never found it to be so, and have always loved to spend an entire day there.

    I hear ya. If I could take this school bus driver's license to Orlando and walk in to the hiring office and become a WDW bus driver, that would be a happy day...

    Yeah, music is such a great way. Hence my whistling. Also, my ringtone was 'Wishes', now it's 'Happily Ever After'. When my phone rings, I frequently discover somebody right around me who smiles and nods, and EUREKA I have found you...
