Scott,
We will be taking my daughter in just over a year for her first trip, she will have just turned 4. I can not wait, I know I will be in the same state you were. I got her the planning video so she has an idea before we go. The smile on her face when she watches that almost does me in.

The next day we went to MK and seeing the castle in person for the first time is seriously breathtaking. My mom and I looked at each other and said "we're really here!" ...We have been doing that every year since
Crystal,
I love the Sassagoula boat ride. My wife and I stayed at PO on our honemoon and Dixie Landings every trip since (3). It is a nice relaxing trip.
Also, what you said about "we're really here!" - that was my exact reaction when I went on my honeymoon in 1993. Growing up, going to WDW was my life. When I think of my childhood, that is what I think of. My parents seperated in the mid 80s and I never went back until my honeymoon. I planned the trip to go, I knew we were going, yet when we walked under the train station it hit me. I was really where I loved to be.
Thanks for sharing,
Mike

Pacifier = evil

That scares me. A few years ago we were at a college graduation and someone in the crowd near us had this daughter who was sitting in a stroller ______________ on a pacifier that had to be at least 6 or 7. First 6 or 7, you should not be in a stroller. Second, the mother started passing out lunch and this girl took out her pacifire long enough to eat a PB&J sandwich and have a can of Coke. When she was finished, she popped it right back in her mouth.
If that is not scary, I don't know what is.
We tried that but my daughter is a little sneaky pants. We got her a big girl bed and told her no more pacifier if she gets the big girl bed, she agreed. So we set up the bed and my daughter threw her pacifier in the garbage all by her self before se put it together. It was a yellow Avent pacifier. So that night I am in her room sitting on her bed reading to her. She leans over to me and wispers something to me. I did not know what she was saying. After several times of saying it I realized she was saying blue to me. The little knew she still had a blue pacifier in her dresser drawer. She was wispering because she knew she was not suppose to have it.
Long story is, we are still trying to get rid of the thing.

ooOoo Pacifier! LOL! never had one BUT you could try this
Put something that is bitter, but not toxic on it. She will associate the pacifier with the bitter taste and then, the pacifier, the unconditioned responce will become a conditioned one (i'm in Psych 101 LOL) Yeah, this is what my dad also says to do i think...I'll have to check!
and tink, I was up in DeKalb this summer for a Drum and Bugle Core Competition, nice stadium
