Thanks so much for stopping by!

We are all super excited to be heading to Disney since it is our first time! I'm sure we will have a blast. It's so nice to know there will be other homeschoolers there, and teens too! I am looking forward to meeting you too!

Hello there!
Just stopping by via Disneysmmoms on Twitter. I'm the notperfectwife.
Love your blog. So lean and fresh looking. Great job!

We've been to Disney so many times that I've lost count. First taking some long family vacations when we lived in MD and now that we live in FL, well we'll just say.. we've been there a lot.

This is my first conference too. We've never stayed at the fancier hotels so this will be a blast.

Looking forward to meeting you.

I keep reminding myself that no matter what we get to do, it's Disney and it'll be great!

Plus I get to meet lots of neat people!

I'm going too! I live close to Disney and go all the time. I know that you're going to have a blast. My suggestion would be to map out the attractions that you really want to see and do those first. Even if you're there for a full 7 days, there's no way that you can see everything at Disney World! Be sure to take some time to relax and just soak in the time there. Hope I get to see you there!

Thanks Christina you've been super helpful!
I will definitely be sure to check out the Fast Pass and also the link you shared is perfect. I have been having such a difficult time figuring out which food places are where and what they serve. This site is so complete with menus and pricing.

Thanks again!

Yes, FastPass is free. Your best bet is to grab a FastPass for the ride you want and walk around to other local rides without the long line. The FP will have a designated time for you to return and go on the ride. You should probably budget at least $10 per person, per day, for lunch ... assuming you won't be dining at any of the "sit-down" restaurants. Here's a link I found with the available restaurants and menus (the ones I peeked at had prices too!) http://allears.net/menu/menus.htm I'm so jealous. I'll be thinking of you while we're getting pummeled by the bitter cold! LOL

Thanks so much for all the great tips Christina!

We have park hopper tickets, so we'll be checking out Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios. It's a lot, but we are prepared with knowing that no matter what we will NOT be able to do everything. We've chosen 2 things at each place that we MUST do. I figure anything else is just gravy you know.

We are bringing food with us to eat for breakfast, and all of our dinners are being provided. We have budgeted $100 a day for food hoping that it won't be that high? The only thing we have to figure out is lunches.

Is the fast pass program free? Thanks so much for the tip about letting guest services know this is our first time, we will definitely have to check that out!
