Right about this time of year,even as my kids got older, the whole family would start getting excited about our upcoming trip. This year, it looks like my wife and I will be coming in November for our annual anniversary trip. So, to those of you who will be fighting the heat, the crowds, the rude people, the less than perfect Disney that we all complain about all I can say is enjoy those summer vacations with your kids while you can. Here's hoping that all of you that have plans to visit Disney this summer have a great time. It's still the best place on earth.
Originally Posted By topperfan Amen! My non-Disney friends think I'm insane for visiting DW at least once a year, but as long as my daughter will go with me, I'll gladly book the trip. She's in college now, and as soon as she said she wanted to go this year, I made reservations. It's worth every penny and every Disney hassle to spend time with my girl. I wouldn't trade our Disney trips for anything!

So this years trip is being looked forward to with such vigor ( downside is my job may preclude me from going with them or at best cutting mine short ).... You don't know what you've got till it's gone. btw congrats on 30 -- I hit 31 years in July

We have to see how our oldest is adjusting to high school. Plus there are usually some great deals at the last minute that time of year. Last year at a moderate for 4 for 8 nights with parkhopper and water park tickets was $2300.
