So I finally booked my WDW vacation today! I've never been there but I've been to dland tons. Any tips or tricks from mwers who have been? I'm super excited ....50 days and counting :)
The dining plan is wonderful and I wouldn't do it any other way. My advice--use the extra hours to get the best use of your time. Moving between parks is made easy but don't try and do more than two a day or your feet may fall off by the end of your trip. Everest is the best ride--ToT is way better in WDW. If you like mini-golfing the courses on the resort are all really fun! When you do the Wildlife Park--do the safari first thing in the morning--more animals are out and about --not sleeping yet!! Have a great time! - missyandpaul255.7 #949 6-17-12 12:24AMLike(1) Reply
Are you staying at a WDW resort? When is your vacation and for how long? - Lelundrial341.2 #429 6-16-12 6:35PMLike Reply
My best advice would be to take me with you!!! - ScubaSteve028812.4 #114 6-16-12 11:50PMLike Reply
I'm a veteran of hundreds of trips to WDW. Been going there since 1975. Take my advice and buy the book called "The Unofficial Guide To Walt Disney World". It's like the bible for WDW. It will save you so much time. It is chocked full of so much need-to-know information. - wg4ever170.9 #1991 6-17-12 12:31AMLike Reply
Hey all! I just wanted to let you know that this summer in St. George Utah, they are putting on Disneys Aladdin! Last year they won the rights to Little Mermaid and it was FANTASTIC!! Disney also just announced that they won the rights to More...
It's at the Tuacahn amphitheatre. It's an outdoor theater set in the red rocks. It's awesome cause they use live animals. I saw pictures and the narrators are on camel back!! Last year they did so well Little Mermaid completely sold out the entire season - dhBelle04275.5 #773 5-17-12 7:25PMLike Reply
I lovvvved Little Mermaid last year. I can't wait to see Aladdin. We go to Tuacahn every year with my grandparents. We live about an hour away. - tikiwhip200.9 #1620 6-25-12 9:27PMLike Reply

First ride of the day...pirates! So happy to finally be here! If you see me say hi, I've never met any mwers. I'm wearing a pink long sleeve shirt and a white puffy vest.
My flight is suppose to leave tomorrow night so I can be in Disneyland Wednesday. unfortunately I woke up sick this morning. I'm praying that I feel better for my trip! good thoughts are appreciated!

sorry for the non Disney post...but my dog of 15years died tonight. I really could use some Disney hugs :(

I am so sorry for your loss.. I know how difficult this is, Nov 6 will be 2 years since I lost my Abby & I still cry when I think about her.. There really should be a way for dogs to live longer, their time with us is too short :( My prayers are with you.. - SarahJoshDisney69.5 #3412 11-2-11 10:15PMLike(1) Reply
Such a difficult decision. I had to do the same thing 2 weeks ago. But once it's over, you will know you did the right thing. - Gia785.5 #121 11-3-11 9:42AMLike Reply
{{{hugs}}} I had to send my Corgi to the Rainbow Bridge just 2 weeks ago. His absence has really had an effect on our household - my other dogs still search for him, even though they witnessed the vet taking care of him. I know I did the right thing, but it was still tough. I am finally getting to the stage where I can remember all the fun and smile, knowing he is happy and healthy and waiting for me! - Gia785.5 #121 11-3-11 9:45AMLike Reply
Yes it did have silver on the other side. I wanted to find white dots, but I didn't have time :( I thought of this idea on Wednesday and had to get the material to my sister...that's also why the skirt was a little too long. Good thing there is always next year! - dhBelle04275.5 #773 10-31-11 9:57PMLike Reply
I ended up going to another fabric store and found material with white dots. It was perfect actually. I didn't finish my skirt because I ended up not being able to get tickets. And like you said...there is always next year! - KissDclown1088.1 #77 11-1-11 8:33AMLike Reply
My first graders have figured out how to distract me. They kept asking me Disneyland questions. Of course I had to answer them! Getting back to the short sound of I took a little longer :)
LOL...now you need to pick out Disney words that have the short I sound in them :-) Disney, Indiana Jones, Flik :-) - uscdisneyteacher3089.5 #14 10-24-11 3:47PMLike Reply
lol I can see it now (Teacher)" Tonight's homework assignment is..." (Students) what's your favorite attraction at Disneyland?" (Teacher) answers the question the bell rings. Kids leave homework free.😄 - goofball450.1 #274 10-24-11 3:52PMLike Reply
Oh, those teachable moments! I think it's great when students try to get me off topic with things they know I'm interested in. It shows they know me! I think it's a great idea for you to integrate your background knowledge about Disneyland, integrate it with the lesson objective(s), and help to develop or activiate your students' background knowledge. Our students are so intelligent! Thank you for sharing a teacher story! - teach6779.2 #3289 10-24-11 4:06PMLike Reply
It all started with, "I went on a trip" They asked if it was true, but I said I'm going on a trip in 50 days. They all knew I was going to Disneyland. The boys asked if it was just princesses there. I had to tell them about all the rides and other fun things. Then I tried to get back on topic. They continued to ask about characters I've met which of course led to looking at my Disney pictures. :)
@uscdisneyteacher, I'll totally have to use more short i Disney words tomorrow and we'll see if they catch on :) - dhBelle04275.5 #773 10-24-11 4:43PMLike Reply

We went the same week 2 years ago, crowds were pretty light during the day (longest wait time about 30 minutes), but it got crazy crowded right before fireworks. Hope this helps :) - Geekery227.1 #1280 10-11-11 7:02PMLike Reply
