It's funny because we go to Destin all the time and do the same things - same pool, same beach, same restaurants (well, except for the occasional new one), same shops, etc. No one ever says anything about that, but when I even mention that we're thinking of a Disney trip, I still get the, "Again?" comment. And God forbid I should go by myself! Yes, I can drive to the condo myself and no one says a things, but I go to WDW and it's a big deal. People can be so weird! I think the real issue is that so many people think of WDW as being just another "amusement park". Even people who have been once or twice often just see it for the "rides". They forget the restaurants and all the details and the other things to do that aren't the typical attractions. SOme people get it instantly, others never will. -- - RODNEY Next WDW Vacation?

We shall see if it actually happens, though. I will say that they have been around already ... the aquarium, The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), the botanical gardens ... so we know that they travel well. <G> Mark

Then I took the granddaughter last spring - just her and me - we had a ball. Plan on taking the grandson either this fall or next spring. He's 4 now but still kind of clingy to his mama but I think by the time I take him he'll be ok. All he talks about is when is it his time to go to Disney with Memaw> |
