Dave, Well, if you will be there anytime between December 10-18, please wear your special t-shirt so that we can properly genuflect to the WDW guru who helped us plan our trip, including the week we chose. We Senior Princesses will be staying in a Royal Room at POR to celebrate my 60th birthday & my best friend’s first visit. The last WDW trip I planned around your advice (for my family with niece) went great, and I can hardly wait for this one! One day we plan to take a day off from parks, rent a car, and just go to walk on a beach and have a seafood dinner on the coast. Any recommendations or websites I should check out at for off-park attractions like this?

Hi Joan! I’ll be there about half the time you are–but with the family and a long to-do list of new/refurbed stuff to see/review, so may not be that visible! On your last question, sorry but I don’t have an opinion! But above all, I’m glad the site is helping/has helped!

YAY!!! So excited to see this! We leave EARLY Monday morning, arriving in Orlando at 9:30am. My kids still don’t know about the trip. We’re telling them Monday morning. Thank you so much for this website! I feel very much prepared for our first Disney adventure!!

Amy, have a wonderful visit, and come back and tell me how it went!
