I just watched our DVD/Slideshow of our trip from Dec. 2006. And I think as many of you have said, we will try for the first week in Dec. again. It was great. The weather, crowds, decor-all of it wonderful. I don't worry too much about pulling the kids out of school(yes, I am one of those parents). Well, I don't pull them out all the time, but for Disney I will. I figure, you are spending a lot of money to go, at least get your money's worth and enjoy your time there. My girls do well so I don't worry about it too much. School is important, but so is quality family time, and what better place than Disney? Now if I can get ressie's for next year, I am there. I will have to chance the weather with traveling down from Maine, it will be worth it. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! I am thankful for all your wonderful opinions!
