Only if you are a little kid....:p

You really need to get to know EPCOT and what is enjoyable. I have just as much fun in the World Showcase at each particular exhibit. If you do nothing in the World Showcase you ned to do the American Pavilion. There are several things to enjoy there. And you should strike up a conversation with the people who work at the Country's Pavilions. I got to know a couple of the people in the UK Pavilion while I was looking at their selection of Imported Teas. After spending sometime talking about the different Teas one of the ladies handed me a free box of my favorite kind, Apple Cinnamon. The next morning I tried it out....liked it so much I went back and bought 3 more boxes. I had them deliver it to my room so I wouldn't have to carry it around the park with me. When I got back to the room that night, they had stuck an extra sampler box in the bag for me. That's the Disney Touch!

Just got back from a 10 day trip a couple weeks ago. Had an awesome time!! Only my teenage son did not enjoy the trip, but he's just too cool for WDW, so it wasn't a surprise. He brought his best friend with him, and even he had a good time.

We got to be Grand Marshalls of the Main St. parade, that was damn cool! Cheesy as hell, but great fun! Not sure who enjoyed it more, my 2 kids (the younger ones, 10 and 7, not the teen) or my wife, who's a bona fide Disney nutcase (in a good way :).
My Teenage son has started being "too big" for Disney too.


I've been to WDW countless times and never gotten the opportunity to be Grand Marshal. Lucky you...

And BTW.....like your wife, I am a Disney nutcase, in a good way.

Another QFT!!! And rep for you too.

If your daughter rode either the Wooden Horse Carousel or Dumbo's Ride you were close enough to spit on it.

Whatever you do...always eat your veggies and keep your elbows off the table or "Mom" will embarass the absolute hell out of you.

We have been there several times during Thanksgiving Week....and On Sunday afternoon-Wednesday afternoon it will feel like they opened the park to you and several thousand of your close friends. When I have gone there were virtually no waits at any ride, and sometimes, if you are staying "on property" you can get a "bump" in the room that you are staying in. One time we stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge and got bumped to a Savannah View Room at no extra charge. Plus we got a meal comped....

Yes, the heat and humidity was almost unbearable. It was low to mid 90s all week. Halfway through that first day, I had to buy a Disney hat to keep the sun off my head. I thought I could get by with just sunscreen. Wrong. However, I don't think the heat and humidity is any different than Kansas summers. Hell, just yesterday it was mid 90s and humid here. Unfortunately, we don't have any other choice but to go down there in summer. Kids are only out of school at the end of May through mid August.

Early June is not bad at all. Now July and August, just kill yourself.
