Disney world - chaperoning our high school band trip!

Sorry in advance if this is lengthy.. my son and I will be going to Disney on a high school band trip where we stay offsite. My husband and younger son are staying onsite and then me and the older son will join them at the end of the HS TRIP and will be staying onsite for a few extra days. Will...

A few years back, my 12 yr old decided to try an energy drink without us knowing and it was almost 90 degrees outside. Needless to say, he was sick, dehydrated and ended up with a huge migraine. We found a quiet garden towards the back of the castle on the right side with a few benches. It...

Haven't been on Disboards for quite some time as our last trip was in April of 2013. I jumped on to re-familiarize myself with the site and maybe do a PTR and thought I'd look at other people who are looking to go around the same time as us! I have no definite plans or even dates but our trip...

I have done both ways with multiple children of different ages. There's pros and cons to each. For us, the additional expense of the car was too high to justify when theres transportation available. Either way, you are walking to a parking lot or to the hotel. I just returned from Disney...

One month out - I made a countdown paper chain that had a mickey head at the top and the chain hung from it. At the time my kids were 5, 12, 15 and 17. On each chain I customized it for them. For the oldest two it was a little trivia or for them to tell us special things they wanted to do or...

Add far as moderates go, we've done POR as a family last April, and CBR, years ago. We loved CBR but wanted to try something new. I will definitely be going back to POR. The grounds were gorgeous and very relaxing, which I like because it isn't so Disney themed is every corner, so it's a very...

We bought a rechargeable battery pack and packed that and the cell phone cable so that we could charge the phones without looking for a plug. Kept it in a ziploc bag so it didn't get wet. With multiple cell phones and then using the camera on the phones, we needed this every day. We rented...

Yes! I would say we wing it, always have. Every trip , I plan one character meal and that is the extent of our scheduled planning. We went last year this time, and this trip was a little different as two children were traveling with the school band, and then we were keeping them at the end for...

I have never been to POFQ, but just stayed last year at POR. We had a full family, grandparents, us, 15 and 17 yo DD's and 12 and 5 yo DS's. We loved it!! Before the 5 year old we had been to a couple of the All Stars, Pop and Caribbean Beach. Those are nice too but I felt there was a balance...

We just returned from WDW for a week visit at the beginning of the month. There are 5 smartphones in our family. Our 2 DD's traveled separate from us with the band. They used 2800 mhz Halo chargers which did the job. We also bought the Mophie mentioned above and it worked great. I...

We have always bought hoppers, but we were at a crossroads with it since the kids are older thus expenses are up. After debating again, we did it for the ability to go on our animal kingdom and Hollywood studios days. It was awesome as always. But unless it totally breaks me, we will...

Bumping this in hopes I can find someone with some helpful advice!

Cedar Point is a must but you may want two days there. If looking for a separate water park, Kalahari which is also in Sandusky is awesome. There is also a Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky but we prefer Kalahari. It has been years, but there is also a cavern to go through in the Sandusky area...

When you get to a computer to view your photos, you can click and edit the photos! You can zoom, crop, change to balck and white, etc. then you can add borders and save each one as a copy. We started with around 400 photos and with the editing we did we are over 850!!

You only get one but anyone else in your party can get a photopass card from the Disney photographers and then you just add that card to your account online yourself or you can go to some places in the parks and they can integrate them for you. However, ride photos are different. They...

First, let me say that I have browsed many a board today on disboards trying to get an idea of where to start. I have done traditional scrapbooking for years, utilizing CM, cri-cut, Quickutz, sizzix, etc., BUT I do think it is time to try out digital scrapbooking. I have also compiled a few...

I have to say I LOVE the photopass plus! I am a picture freak and even if I don't use every picture I like the fact that I have them. I have logged in and added many borders to each picture (just is case - so I have them) and I have noticed that it seems that the borders have changed from...

We have done All Star Movies, POP, CBR and just returned on 4-8 from POR. We are a family of 6, plus my in laws so we book two rooms. Kids love the feel of the values, but I like the slightly bigger beds in moderates. Keep in mind as of our trip, CBR still only had double beds. With...

The Get Carried Away bag is one of my favorites!! Lots of pockets and some are plastic lined. Also has a breakaway zipper to close it!! Have used that as my carry on for the airline. Keeps my Vera Bradley Tech organizer, a large make up bag, tablet, small cosmetic and leaves room for...
