    Why I'm glad my first trip was before I had kids

    So, I am reminiscing about my trips to the World. My first was when I was 26 years old, with the ex and his entire family. Looking back, I am so glad that I had that experience before I ever took a child to WDW...by the time DD was ready (at least IMO) at almost 3, I had two trips under my belt...

    WaltzingMatilda & Co.'s Disney Adventure

    Our story begins with me discovering that at the ripe old age of 37, I have been blessed with the impending arrival of child # 2. Instead of thinking, "My goodness! We must plan and prepare for this addition to our family! There is a nursery to do, a college fund to start, a chaotic house to...

    Overheard on my trip to the World

    Normally I am very tolerant of things I hear in the parks, because I know that we are all human and God knows I've had some classic moments myself. But I have to say on this trip I heard two comments that got my goat. 1) In line to meet Buzz and Woody. I'm there with my DD (6). I'm standing...

    Good photo ops?

    I'd like to do a lot of picture taking this trip, but not just the usual stuff. Anyone know any cool picture spots that would normally be overlooked? They don't necessarily have to be shots that would look good with people in them (though I'd like those too), just out of the way details that are...

    Haven't planned a thing!! Yikes!!

    We're leaving a week from tomorrow and I have yet to put any kind of "schedule" in place for our trip. The decision to go was spur of the moment, and I've been so busy trying to get all my ducks in a row on the homefront that I haven't even thought about what to do once we're there. My biggest...

    Alternative to Lanyard?

    Anyone have any good suggestions for an alternative to the pin lanyard? We're leaving a week from tomorrow (:sohappy:) and I'd like to bring our pins but I find the lanyard irritating. I've thought about placing the pins on my pack but I'm afraid that they'll fall off. Any thoughts...

    Disney Channel - Ruining the Magic

    As much as I love just about every show on Disney Channel, I am so annoyed with their relentless "behind-the-scenes" clips. Disney is usually obsessive about not ruining the magic, yet Disney Channel is constantly showing us how the shows are made, interviewing the stars,etc. Now I realize...

    Volunteer! Or don't...

    Because all they will do is bust your you-know-whats. And that's all I've got to say about that.

    WDW CHristmas - how long?

    Hey y'all - I am in such a waffle. I want to go first or second week of December so as to see WDW decorated for Christmas. But circumstances may see me using up this year's paid days off before that. If we go after New Year's (first week of January?) are the Christmas decorations still up...

    Tinkerbell's Job?

    My wee sister is currently exploring her life's options. At 28 and single, and barely 90lbs. soaking wet, she's hit on the idea of Tinkerbell at WDW. I showed her the pics of Tink's flight (linked elsewhere here, can't remember where, sorry) and she's still all about it(:eek: ). She has lots of...

    Peter Pan Wheelchair Difficulty?

    A friend of mine just got back with a disturbing story about getting her SIL on Peter Pan. Her in laws, who take their adult wheelchair bound daughter to WDW every year came up against a new challenge on the Peter Pan ride this year. Now, please keep in mind I personally have never attempted a...

    Thinking about my first Deluxe vacation

    For our next trip (which I haven't even booked yet, I can't decide between September and Christmas) I am on the edge of going for a Deluxe resort. I have always stayed at the French Quarter, which I love and is such an integral part of Disney to me that I can't imagine not staying there. But...

    Stitch as the "new" Mickey?

    All the research I've done on Mickey tells me he basically started as a real . Breaking conventions and rules, etc. Defying expectations and social convention. So now we have Stitch, who is also a big "eared' (and bigger eyed) character. Stitch crosses boundaries as a daily occurence, and...

    Post if you love Stitch

    I personally adore Stitch. I like the way he talks ("Naga!"), I think his monorail audio is hysterical, I love seeing him "intruding" on pins. He's lovable in spite of himself...and if you really look at the original movie, it has such a great message. Here's this crazy little alien who is...

    Your favorite Disney "Prince"?

    Well, I'm on a bit of a Mulan kick (Disney Channel is playing it a lot in honor of Chinese New Year), and I realized that as far as the animated "male leads" go, Shang is it for me. Yes, I know I'm a total dork for even thinking about this but what can I say? Any of you out there have a...
