I took my kids (10, 6, 3) to the doctor's office for a checkup yesterday and I carried my large Vera Bradley backpack with 3 ipads, 2 3DS, games, snacks, 2 coloring books, diapers, wipes, 3 water bottles and my stuff (wallet, keys, lip gloss). It felt like it weighed about 100 pounds, I don't...

Hi everyone, I hope it is okay to join in still. This thread was started on my birthday this year! :) I am 36 years old and I weigh almost as much as I did the day I gave birth to DS # 3 who is 2.5 years old now. I need to loose 50 pounds. I felt really good on our last trip to Disney 7...

We are a one-income family, also. We have five so we can't stay in a standard room, either. I looked at Fort Wilderness cabins through Disney web site the price is pretty close to Art of Animation (at least for summer, we are limited to summer as my DH is a teacher). It has a fridge and...

I was wondering if, for example, you had already booked a trip for July way back in January and then saw the "Awaken Summer Savings" promo, could you call up and get the same % off as people who book closer to travel dates? Nothing booked yet for me ~ just wondering about this in general, thanks!!!

DD (6) is going to park district summer day camp. They go swimming everyday, play, make crafts and take field trips. She loves it! I am so grateful dear MIL paid her camp fees for us. My boys (age 2 and 9) and I are spending our days reading, playing at the park, and going to the community...

At Crystal Palace DS who was 2 at the time was drinking milk in a straw cup. Tigger comes by and DS is giggling and happy and I (stupidly) said "uh-oh, Tigger is going to steal your milk!" so Tigger playfully grabs the milk cup and puts it to his mouth. Well, then DS punches Tigger in the...

I have two sons on the spectrum and it is such a big part of my life I chose my DIS name because of it. ;) I am in the camp that thinks it is genetic. DS #1 was diagnosed while I was pregnant with DS #2. Medical staff at Easter Seals told me there was 20% baby would also have autism, and he...

We have only been saving a couple months but here is what I'm doing: 1) Disney Vacation Account - I contribute a small automatic amount every month and also put "found" money in there (my dad sent me a Mother's Day card with some cash inside - Disney Vacation Account!) 2) I use cash for my...

Thanks for all the replies. We nowhere near ADR window yet, but my sons have special needs, they are on a regular meal schedule and it helps them. I read on a facebook thread today about people waiting an hour even with ADR, and June is the time of year we will be traveling. That helps to...

If you make all your ADRs for table service meals ahead of time, do you find the time is pretty accurate or are the restaurants running behind a lot? I've read some complaints online about long wait times for a table even if you have ADR.

This is good to hear! We are limited by DH's school schedule (teacher) so we are planning on driving down the June after next. A lot of guidebooks and web sites say summer is the worst time to go, but I'm glad to know with a good plan and early wake-up call you can see a lot and beat some of...

I'm avoiding cleaning the kitchen by looking at Dis Boards. ;)

None of my kiddos (age 2,6, 9) love Disney movies as much as I do but they all enjoy the classic Mickey and Donald cartoons from the 1930s and 40s. My two-year-old also loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, you can get Mickey Clubhouse and classic Mickey cartoons on DVD our library carries them so we...

That is awesome!

I'm....so tired. My husband is working 2nd shift over the summer until school starts again (he is a teacher) and I can't fall asleep until he is home. But my 2.5 year old is up at 5:30am no matter what. Thankfully coffee and Dis Boards is making everything better! :surfweb:

Coffee. :surfweb: And cheerios.

I think each family has to do what is best for them. If we waited until we were 100% debt free to go on vacation our kids would be in their 30's by then, :D and I want to enjoy one or two trips while they are little. We are making progress getting our situation right -- using cash, paying off...
