the more I see video of 7DMT I start thinking I could do it. I might use this trip as an opportunity to gauge my family's reaction and work up the nerve for the next time. And thanks for the comment. I'm from the school of thought that laughter will get you through alot if you let it.

Hard to describe my reservations with some rides. This is especially true of Test Track. I have a fear of flying, but I've flown hundreds of time. Its not a fear of plunging to my death. What gets to me is turbulence. Its the feeling of helplessness (lack of control may be a better description)...

Day 5: Hollywood Studios I know this park is the bombed out shell of a park. I really do. But I love it. Also member of a surprisingly large minority that loved, and now misses, the BAH. Though there are not that many attractions/rides at DHS, the rides they have make this, pound-for-pound one...

We've always threatened to try Sunshine Seasons and something always comes up. Kinda like Coral Reef. We have had reservation each of the last four trips and always get scared off by reviews.

Day 4: Epcot As I mentioned earlier, this is my absolute favorite park. We typically do two days, but the current state of the park pushed us to cutting it to one. Honestly, if Soarin was up, I would've fought to keep the second day. This will be our first trip during the Flower & Garden...

thanks. You bring up a question I have. With the multiple stops being the biggest unknown for me, my thoughts were to walk to the main building for refills and just take the bus from there. Do you know if it typically the first bus stop on the loop or the last?

Thanks for the reassurance. Does POR have the monitors to track bus arrival times? I thought I had heard they were being tested forever ago.

Day 3 Continued: Downtown Disney I know the name has changed, but many on this site still call DHS- MGM, let me have this one. We are fans of the DTD and our Animal Kingdom day would be our best bet to get down there. I know we can catch a boat from POR. A couple of questions come to mind for...

Thing is, with the two, I think the adults are the most pumped to watch either. Lion King is my absolute favorite Disney movie with a large gap before you fall to Jungle Book at #2. And aside from the occasional flirtation with Nemo, my kids never showed much interest in that movie. However, we...

Good call-out on Nemo. Did not think about that. The 4 y/o in our group should be good, but my nephew (18 months) could be a concern. thanks

Day 3: Animal Kingdom We love Animal Kingdom! However, it usually ends up being our last day park, and we head out early for our 13 hour ride back home. This time we have it earlier in the trip so we can give it the attention it so deserves. ADRs: Lunch we will eat at a CS. We love Flame Tree...

Day 2: Magic Kingdom This was originally going to be our EPCOT day. As I mentioned earlier, with the current state of that park, I was the only one interested in multiple days there. The main justification for a second consecutive MK day at the start is the drive up would probably result in a...

Sooo pumped for this. This will be a first for us. We usually go in September. Our one previous May trip did not have a F&G festival.

We have two things working against us going back to park hopper on this trip. First is my 18 month old nephew. Second is length of stay. I think the sweet spot for park hopper would be a stay of 8 or more days. When that glorious time when my kids are all grown, and out of my house arrives, my...

Thought Process: Before I go too far in to this, I want to explain our thought process on what parks we are visiting. We usually stay 6/5 with two days at MK, two at EP, and 1 each for DAK & DHS. With this being our first 7/6 stay, we were just going to add a day to the Magic Kingdom. About a...

Thanks. It was either this or taking up competitive drinking.

Game-plan: A trip to Disney World, for us, includes a 12-13 hour drive. We honestly love this element of the trip (this one will include a potentially troublesome 18 month old). We typically leave at 1pm-2pm and drive straight through. With gas, bathroom, and meal stops, that gets us to our...

And before I get to the details, I want to mention here that this trip is more than me celebrating the awesomeness that is me.... My tremendous, understanding, patient wife just graduated college while putting up with me and three varying degrees of bad offspring. This trip is also a birthday...

Background: In the title, I mention that we are due to a trip to the world. In May 2010, I took my wife and two kids (Ella was not born yet) to Disney World. It was their first trip, and I had not been since 1994 when I was an obnoxious 13 year old who did everything he could to ruin my...

First time try one of these, so here we go- Cast of Characters Josh (your humble OP)- 36 year old married father of 3. Will be 7th trip, 4th as adult. Brandi (DW)- 37 year old. Will be 4th trip, all as an adult. Lawton (DS)- 11 year old. 4th trip Madison (DD)- 8 year old. 4th trip Ella (DD)- 4...
