You're raising him the right way. These kids are just mean and have nothing better to do than to pick on him. They don't understand karma! It will bite them in the butt and it's going to hurt. You're boy sounds like a very sweet kid and your daughter is a VERY lucky girl to have him as a brother. Sounds like you've done a good job. I don't have kids of my own, but I think what you're doing is perfect. I'm 2 years old than my little brother and he used to do the same things for me. He'd protect me any day! Your son is a good brother. Every girl needs one. You're lucky too; to have such a nice boy. (:
I hope he's able to stand up to these bullies one day and make them understand that he loves his sister and it's not nice to be mean (I hope that made sense. I think it sounded better in my head). Good luck! - ericalynn210.0 #1495 6-30-11 11:46PMLike Reply

Reservations at Big thunder ranch today. Anyone eat there? Is the food as good as it looks?
Yes. It's delicious. Ask for a to go box. We took the ribs and chicken for later that night to snack on. - vegasbrat403.8 #326 4-20-11 7:51AMLike Reply
I have heard food is awesome bit service isn't so great. I cant wait to try it! - ImAlwaysCrazy646.4 #167 4-20-11 7:53AMLike Reply
Sadly, our WOC last night. Three minutes into the show, my son had to go SO bad, so my husband left with him. Two minutes later, my daughter had to go SO bad :( ... Maybe in a couple years!
Awwww.... I didn't even make it over there last night. My lil guy crashed! - vegasbrat403.8 #326 4-20-11 7:50AMLike Reply
Awh! That's what happens. I try to have our daughter go before anything starts but if she drank a lot still happens. - NingyMouse378.4 #359 4-20-11 7:50AMLike Reply
Getting ready to head over for our 3rd day. Got WOC picnic lunches for today, very excited about that. Ate at Monte Carlo last night, if you haven't tried their Monte Cristo Sandwich, all I can say is AWESOME!!!
Which picnic meals did you get, and where is Monte Carlo?? - akmickey6.4 #8680 4-19-11 8:59AMLike Reply

First day was awesome! Under estimated my two little ones, they were so brave and went on every thing at Disneyland. Four more fun days to go, taking them to California Adventure tomorrow. Goodnight everyone!
Glad you made it safely and had a great first day! Enjoy the rest of your time - CravingDisney150.1 #2296 4-17-11 10:50PMLike Reply

It would not surprise me if they went away for good. I was told that FastPasses actually slow down the lines. - RadioMaverick529.8 #217 4-17-11 10:43AMLike Reply
It used to be where you find out the hours of FastPass and avoid that attraction during those times. But Cast Members seem to allow people with FastPasses in at any time. - RadioMaverick529.8 #217 4-17-11 10:46AMLike Reply

We are just about ready to sit the kids down and show them the surprise video that they are leaving for Disneyland tomorrow for their very first trip. I am SO excited!!
Jeana send it to making memories and you might just see it on its a small world as part of the show - BirthdayGoof175.1 #1927 4-14-11 11:26PMLike Reply
Since the $20 game card has an expiration and we will be leaving tomorrow for 10 days, if I don't hear from handydaddy by 9pm Pacific time, I will random another entry so I can get this off to someone tomorrow before I leave.

My wife and I drove from portland 2 years ago with the kids. The drive was surprisingly not that bad. We had a lot of fun with it and it was nice having the car while down in southern California. - SamFlynn15.9 #5546 4-12-11 9:19AMLike Reply
We just drove from Montana, about 20 hours for us also. It's not bad though. Driving at night with kids is much easier. They usually sleep about half the trip. Safe travels. - angryduck98.7 #3051 4-12-11 11:08AMLike Reply
RAK time!!! We are headed to Disneyland in a week, we will not be using this. So, we wanted to pass it on to someone who will:). RAK ends Wednesday at 6pm, I will mail it out Thursday before I leave!

Wow! Tough decision! If a relative is willing to watch your daughter, i would take the opportunity to spend this quality time with him! I'm sure he'll be excited to know it's the three of you!

That's tough. Is there anyway grandpa can come in the trip just to be an extra set of hands? Would she be hurt if she found out you are going? Or does she know? What does she want? - MTLott79.8 #3284 4-5-11 4:15PMLike Reply
Thanks blue!! Make sure you have visuals though... You want to show her a picture so she can visually represent what comes next. Print out pictures from evert ride in the park, maybe a pic of a bathroom, and a pic of food... So u can also transition to eating, to the hotel, to rides, etc. Preloading her with a visual of what she is going to be doing next is a great wait to maintain structure in a place that is overwhelming for kids with developmental disorders. - michelledork658.3 #159 4-6-11 9:21PMLike Reply

Does anyone know how bad the Spring Break crowds will be the week of April 18th? Will it be worse then a weekend in the summer?
