    How comfy are the fold-out sofabeds at Wilderness Lodge Villas?

    I have stayed in a studio at WLV, and I remember that the sofa bed was not that bad. In fact, I slept on it with one of my DD's and slept quite soundly! So, you're little ones should be quite comfortable. Bedding for the sofa bed is located in the main closet of your villa (right when you...

    Trip Report I'll stop the World and Melt with you.

    I don't know if I ever commented in your "Disneyland, Estrogen-free" TR, but it was your TR that was the real catalyst behind my family's first trip there...192 days to go! And now, I get to enjoy your brood's trip to WDW!

    "high five!" a 1st trip to DLR pre-TR

    My DD's will be almost 8 y.o. & 4 y.o. at the time we're traveling. We are also going the week before President's Day, so I am hoping that it will be a bit slower...but from what I understand, we'll need to bring the ponchos to throw over our coats?o_O

    Renting a stroller

    I have 2 DD's, who are now 7 y.o. & 3 y.o. (almost 4), and we have taken our own single Combi, rented a City Mini Double, lugged our tandem Gracco from home, and went back to renting a City Mini Double. And, here's what my DH and I have learned: -When our oldest DD was little (think 1-3 y.o.)...

    "high five!" a 1st trip to DLR pre-TR

    Ooooh, a cruise! That's our possible plan for the trip after DL! a land and sea deal (and now I remember your pre-TR). Cannot wait to read all about your excursions!

    a Fantastical Wooden Coaster-Ride-of-a-trip

    Why thank you! Now, if we could only eliminate melt-downs and grouchiness (from the parents as well), we'd have one awesome family!;) Blech...room cards! Go back to actual keys I say! Oh, using up dining credits on complete strangers was nothing new for us. Due to the picky eaters in my...

    "high five!" a 1st trip to DLR pre-TR

    I love DLR TR's as well! They are few and far between, but well read! Even fewer, DL Paris and Tokyo! If my math is correct, we will be visiting a few months shy of DL's 59th birthday? That's OK, because we'll be there over Valentine's Day (a 'holiday' which my family really doesn't...

    "high five!" a 1st trip to DLR pre-TR

    Aren't you going sometime next year as well? I could've sworn that I read that in one of your postings? Our plans are kind of at a stand still right now...I have an idea of what I'd like to book/reserve, but planning a trip out to DLR is a bit different than a trip to WDW. As you know, WDW...

    "high five!" a 1st trip to DLR pre-TR

    I've read that recommendation before, about park hopping...that the two parks are ridiculously close and jumping from one park to the other is extremely easy. Now that park hopping has been decided on (at least for my family-of-four), how many days would you recommend: 4 or 5? Honestly, the...

    "high five!" a 1st trip to DLR pre-TR

    I cannot wait to write a DLR TR! There's not too many on this forum, and when there are, I've got them read before the poster can finish typing;)! And, how exciting for your trip out west?! I've enjoyed reading your TR's, so I'll be looking forward to hear how your DLR experience went!

    "high five!" a 1st trip to DLR pre-TR

    I am finally making this happen...we are making our first venture cross-country to Mr. Walt Disney's personal playground!! After many years of visiting WDW, we felt it was time to pay homage to the place that started it all...DISNEYLAND! Before this trip could be realized, we had to "debate"...

    East Coaster Flying West!

    We're in the same boat, "flying east coast to west coast." However, I'm looking into SWA out of BWI into SNA; definitely staying away from PHL and LAX; if we're lucky, perhaps flying out of MDT. I do not mind the 1-stop service, especially because we'll have littler ones in tow (the layover will...

    a Fantastical Wooden Coaster-Ride-of-a-trip

    Oh, we have "forgiven" Disney for their mistake, but we probably won't soon forget. You know the saying, "Fool me once..." yada, yada, yada? Apparently, we aren't the only ones with "notification issues," or room drama! From now on, I will call the resort directly on the hour, every hour...
