    How do you keep a trip a secret?

    We took DD last year as a surprise for her 11th birthday. We would talk with her about WDW and what type of things we wanted to do the next time we went back. Of course, being a stay-at-home mom, I got to talk to my DH quite a bit everyday during his lunch, so this helped with the planning...

    Actual quote from Guest...

    In January 2005 my DH and I made our first trip back to the World since 1995. It was our DD's (8 at the time) first trip ever. We knew about Fast Pass but didn't realize the attractions in Fantasyland made use of them. Well, after waiting in line for 1-1/2 times the length posted at Peter Pan we...

    Cold in January???

    The best advice I can give you is to pack to dress in layers. Mornings and evenings are always chilly. Some days will warm up quite nicely, some days won't. We were there the first week of February this year. It was cloudy, rainy, and very, very cold the first four days of our trip. It was...

    A few quick ?s Camera/Castle Lights

    Hi Yoda 5729. I have a Kodak EasyShare P712 (which I love BTW). I can tell you from my personal experience on our trip in September that the fireworks setting will take adequate pictures. As mentioned, just make absolutely certain you have a tripod, trashcan, etc., available because that will...

    So my husband informs me that I'm sick!!

    My DH told me this weekend, as we began discussing a possible short three-day trip the first of November, that I should attend a DA (Disney Anonymous) meeting. Yes, my name is Debbie, and I, too, am totally and completely, happily addicted.

    Alert: Avoid WDW This Weekend; Other Updates

    Yes! We saw them last week! We saw a lot of teens who were cheerleaders or dance teams (not sure which). By and large these groups were very well behaved and relatively quite in the parks. We stayed offsite, so I'm not sure what it was like staying in one of the resorts with them. We just kept...

    Taking The Kids Out of School

    We have been very blessed with teachers who are willing to work with us. Wheny my husband returned from Iraq two years ago, our daughter was in the first grade and her teacher suggested to us to consider a family vacation when he returned home. We took her wise counsel, and a month after he came...

    Long Drive + 8 Year Old Child = Bored?

    Our DD was 8 years old her first trip to WDW last year. We took a portable DVD player as well as coloring books and ColorWonder paper and markers. We also found some magnet sets. I'll try to describe them. The metal boxes are similar to a book. They open and inside is different scenery and...

    knowledge please

    One thing you might want to keep in mind is temperature change for a day or so. I remember when Hurricane Hugo hit here in North Carolina back in 1989 the first day or two afterwards were a little chilly. We were lucky enough to be in Orlando at WDW last year when Wilma came through. The day...

    Fast Pass Upgraded?

    I couldn't help weighing in on this one because I was just talking about this with my husband the other night. I was reading through the Unofficial Guide and here is what I found: According to the Unofficial Guide for 2006, "Disney was award US Patent 20050060173 in March 2005, which...
