family

Hi everyone! I’m a little late in starting this thread, but I wanted to chronicle my adventures! My husband works remotely, and I’m a teacher. We’ve been coming to WDW since my 30th birthday in 2018, and “making up for lost time” (my parents weren’t Disney people) turned into an obsession...

My wife's brother and his family live sixteen hours away from us. Since having kids, they no longer travel to see his parents (or us, as we live about ten minutes from them). We last visited them in 2016 when our oldest and their oldest were 16 months and three months, respectively. My wife is...

My wife and I are taking our 5 year old son to Disney World at the end of this month, (January 2022). We've been planning this trip for over a year, and just found out yesterday my wife is expecting our 2nd child! We'd like to find a fun way to reveal to our son that he'll be a big brother...

I've been going to WDW with friends and my wife several times. Haven't been in a while as I was growing out my family. Everything I know about Disney touring plans are rope drop to park closing, which seems impossible given my new situation. I am anxiously trying to understand what a trip...

This is just something I'm always curious about. How many first cousins do you have? If you have half-first cousins and/or step-cousins, it's up to you if you want to include them. I'm not counting cousins-in-law (as in a cousin's spouse, or a spouse's first cousins), though. I have two. One on...

I'm sure this has been asked before and likely caused debate, but what is your thought on matching shirts? Me? I am not a matching fan but I am a fan of coordination (similar colors or source material) with a means to this theory. My thought is two fold. For safety/practicality. If someone...

So I’ve always heard that the first 2 weeks of December is the way to go when booking a Disney stay during the christmas time & to avoid major holiday weeks as well as school breaks.. yet, I’ve lost availability on almost all DVC resorts for the second week of December but 5 hotels are available...

I’m going to make this as short as I can. Backstory, I’ve got myself, spouse & two children who will be 4 & 18 months at the time of travel. We went to WDW last winter, spent 3 days & did everything that we wanted to at all 4 parks. We aren’t foodies, we prefer pizza & burgers to anything that I...

Didn't see a Nov 2019 thread so decided to add one. We just booked today we rented points for the first time and got the contract all done.!!! Nov 7-13 !!! Bay lake theme park view!! Squeeeee

Hi Everyone! We are working on planning our upcoming trip in November! We will be there 11/17-11/19 (Sun-Tues). There will be 4 adults who plan to spend all three full days in the park(s) and a family with 2 adults and 2 kids (one will have just turned 3, the other is almost 6). The family...

I'm having a bit of trip guilt. It is our first Disney trip, and I booked at the Polynesian... Mostly because it was the one that was most attractive to my husband and I. My kids just saw videos of Art of Animation and All Star movies and they were amazed at all of the theming. They are 8, 5...

Just returned from 13 July Eastern Caribbean on Fantasy. We were a family of 4 (55,53,20,17) in cabin 10636. I tried to include a lot of info in this report and maybe some things you won't easily find in this forum. My wife (school teacher) painstakingly “red penned” it before letting me...

I know so many people ask about ride swap but I have a situation that is a little different than other so I just want to make sure since we head out next week. We are a party of 4, me, DH, MIL and my almost 1 year old DD. DD is obviously too young for the big rides. If me and DH ride while MIL...

I just found out today that my cousin is being granted a wish, and she chose a Disney cruise! This is such an extraordinary gift and I've got so much secondhand excitement that I need to direct it to something useful, so I've taken to the boards. I've never been on a Disney cruise, but I was...

So finally, it’s happening. It’s happening. I’m sitting down to start typing up this overdue (by only 2 months, in my defense) TR. My first ever TR. The entire trip I stopped to take pictures of everything and made sure everyone knew that under no circumstances were they allowed to eat anything...

Welcome and we're back baby! It's time to talk about June 2019! We had such a great thread for '18 so let's get rolling again! This is the place to talk all things June (and ok late May and early July too, we don't discriminate!). Ask questions, post your dining and tour plans, get to know your...

Hello everyone and welcome to my trip report! Here is a little bit of information about my travel party and trip information. You can check out my pre trip report here. Who? Sarah, Veronica, Peggy, D (9 years old), Shauna, K (22 months), Kristi and special appearance by Grandma Great and...

I guess you could say I'm a born-again Disney fan. You see, I *thought* the Disney magic had struck me several times before. As a kid, in little moments like singing along to the Beauty & The Beast soundtrack in the back seat with my walk man, and in big moments like when my family was lucky...

We’re going to Disneyland! I think... (ETA: we're going for sure! Woo!) Welcome to my first DIS trip report of any kind. I’m really starting it off strange by putting the cart before the horse because my DH and I haven’t decided if we’re actually going to be able to take this trip. We live and...
