Every age we've taken them was a different experience. I have to admit once we were able to go with out a diaper bag, car seat, and stroller we enjoyed it more.

Our kids wear Keen sandals. They work great! The front rubber keeps their toes from getting stubbed. They can get them wet and they dry quick. The kids like them better than crocs since they can run on a wet surface and don't slip. We don't buy the cheap Keens that are all rubber. We did...

We've taken our kids twice during school. First time we went was in September (K and 5th grader). I'm active in the PTA and I talked to numerous teachers at the time we were planning. They said due to the school's schedule mid-late September would be the best time regarding kids. The second...

We took my MIL and FIL December 2012. I can say I'll never go on another trip with them again. I experienced similar situations. We have informed everyone we will be making it a special trip just the 5 of us. We explained we didn't get our normal family time because we felt like tour guides...

We print coloring pictures off the internet. I fit two on a sheet of paper so I can cut it down the middle. I buy a small clip board and the pictures fit perfect. We bring a baggie/pencil pouch of colored pencils & a sharpner. That way we don't have crayons get soft from the heat or marker...

We buy an updated version every 3 years. I was at Barnes and Nobles today reading the 2013. We're are the three little pigs resort and dwarf caverns resorts? The book talks about them but never heard of them before.

Beach Club

We like to visit the gulf side beaches. I can't remember where or what the actual name is but my husband calls it North Beach? We enjoy it b/c it's more private compared to the style of beach at Clearwater.

We stayed at GWL July 2012. We had a split stay between CoCo Keys and GWL. (Won't ever go back to CoCo Keys) We had a blast at GWL. The location is great. There is a Target down the road. There is lots of places to eat too if you don't want to pay the high prices at GWL. We did eat at TRex...

Pre-purchase it to save money. Be sure to get lots of pictures taken. Get the most for your money! We tell the photographer please take plenty b/c we purchase the CD. Sometimes they'll take extra pics and others don't care. We usually get 275-325 pictures for each trip. We take a picture...

Anyone have tips or a site that lists things to pack when staying DVC?

Thanks for the ideas. Spearfish canyon...a little off topic but I have always wanted to come out and run the leading ladies half marathon in August. I've heard it's a beautiful place to run. We're running the half at the Wine & Dine so we extended our normal 5-7 day stay to be there for the...

Can I bring a "cheap" DVD player to hook up in the room? Anyone does this at POR? We have Kids Nite out coming the night of the half oct 1st. I thought it might be nice to be able to let the kids watch a movie that night since they'll be harder to put to bed since we're gone.

Thanks for the ideas! I'll have to check out Target and see what I can find. I prefer to unpack 100% and not leave clothes in the suitcase however I pack like we're going to be gone for a year! I can't seem to pack light. The 12x12 plastic sleeve would be great. I seem to always have a...

If I don't request a certain building number is there a chance of being in a "bad" location if one exists? We'll have 4,6, 11 yr olds plan on coming back each day for a rest/swim.

What are some of your tips that you do to stay organized in the resort room? We'll be staying for 10 days at POR the end of Sept. We're a family of 5 and I love to have things organized. We'll have limited space and wondering what I can bring that is compact to help organize the clothes and...

We'll be at POR 9-23 to 10-4. We're a party of 5 what buildings should we request? Do you request when you do online checkin 10 days before checkin or do you have to call before you get there or ask when you checkin?

We'll be in the Orlando area Sept 24th to Oct 4th. We are staying at POR and renting a car for the first time. We want to take the kids to the beach but don't know which one to go to. We want to get in the water (not swim or surf) just safe from jelly fish. We want as clean/clear water as...

We're booking Jan 5th to 10th at AKL. I'm hoping for a 40% off code since all we need is tickets and room. I'm hoping but expecting it won't happen for my dates. Last year we got free dinning but came in on Wednesday before marathon weekend. This year we're coming in on Thursday. The cut...

My husband and I will be running the Goofy Challenge in January. We'll be at WDW Thurs Jan 5th to Tues Jan 10th. We want to keep costs down (if possible) and have a nice place to stay. We've stayed at All Star Movies & Music, Pop Century, POR (this sept.), Contempory, and a couple off site...
