Best part of that area has nothing to do with Dollywood or other tourist traps....driving through Cades Cove is the best (part of the Smoky Mtns Nat'l Forest). You are forced to just slow down, take your time and appreciate the natural beauty around you. We went to the aquarium (pretty nice), a...

26 days left till we arrive in Orlando.:D My daughter told me she was looking the most forward to getting to our townhouse and heading for the patio pool and doing nothing else. I told her we could have saved a lot of money on tickets if that's all she wanted to do LOL. I do have a question: has...

Haha - no worries there. Although a friend of mine just had a sale and someone actually shoplifted at her sale! Sad world we live in....:eek:

41 days here! I'm having a large garage sale the weekend before, which will translate into souvenir money for vacation. So yeah, I'm selling stuff for money to buy more....stuff. :p

Well, how's this for weird? Since it's our first time off-property, we are planning to take advantage of the kitchen we will have and save some money in the process. Since I don't want to have food at the end of the week that's perishable and will have to be hauled home I wanted to get things...

June 8-15th, staying off property at Windsor Hills, so only about a mile away :) We have 4 dining ressies: Garden Tea at the GF on 6/11 for my daughter and myself (a belated 16th b-day gift for her) Plaza Rest on 6/12 for lunch ~ love the food here 1900 PF for breakfast on 6/13 ~ never had...

We don't even think of flying - we always drive. From Ohio it takes us about 15-16 hours if we drove nonstop. However we do stop for an overnight, usually in SC or Georgia. This summer will be a bit different as we're not leaving at dawn but after lunch for the first day's drive (daughter has...

Do NOT get me started on Jenny McCarthy - that is a HUGE can of worms in the autism community LOL. I'm sure there's abuse in every program that tries to help people, WDW or not, but when it's such a thing as an 'invisible' disability, there are always people that don't walk that path that make...

As much as I know it was a statement made by a troll, what's truly worrisome is the people that actually do believe it! We have used the GAC in the past with our son, but he has truly made improvements these last few years with verbal communication and is more able to tell us if there is a...

If you click the link and read to the bottom, it says 'Staffer Entmaiden adds, “Hope you enjoyed our little April Fools folks!”' So yes, LOL, pretty sure...plus all the comments are in agreement below it.

Rumors are floating around - but those have been on again, off again for years. I personally don't want it ~ Tolkien's world is so complex, a theme park can't do it justice. I love the Wizarding World, don't get me wrong...Tolkien is just not something I want to see in a theme park IMO

Holly! I remember reading your previous trip reports a few years back and enjoying them so much! What a precious little man you have there! And yes, the time just flies by, and you can't go back. I wish we had taken our kiddos when they were younger (I think they were 4 and 9 on our first trip)...

June 8-15th, staying at Windsor Hills. Have six day MYW base tickets we just picked up from AAA. Truly looking forward the most to going to the afternoon tea at the Grand Floridian with my daughter to belatedly celebrate her 16th birthday (birthday is in May). This is probably our last major...

For slightly more than the cost of a value resort, we are staying off property, for our first trip to WDW in 4 years. For us the trade off of only being 1 mile away from Disney property, having separate bedroom spaces, plus a full size kitchen, living area, and private patio pool is definitely a...

Planning on having lunch there in June ~ can't wait! We are off property, so paying out of pocket, but I feel like we get our money's worth :)

My hope is if they are staggering out how they are integrating this system, old fastpass won't be phased out until FP+ is open to all (whether we WANT it or not is a moot point). As far as the GAC goes, I'm actually hoping we won't need to get one, as my son is older now and doing better with...

I haven't been on WDWMagic in a long time and only came back because we are planning our first trip back to WDW in 4 years. Following all this NextGen/MyMagic stuff has given me an honest to goodness headache when it comes to planning ~ we are returning in June so I'm assuming they will have...

This is our first trip back to WDW in four years, and our first trip staying offsite. Mind you, in the past we have stayed close to the MK at various resorts, spending thousands of dollars to be 'immersed in the magic'. And don't get me wrong, we enjoyed our vacations. However, times are...

I may pick her up wearing mine LOL. I guess I'm going to head up to bed...take care and have a good night! :)
