- Comments: Lindy has provided several

a detailed play-by-play of her trip with her sister. This

read through that).

- Comments: This trip was a LARGE family
reunion visit. In fact, this is the largest group trip
I've read about it quite some time, so the narrative has a very
unique twist to it. If you're planning a large group trip,
this would be a valuable report to read. It's a summary
style report, with plenty of detail.

- Comments: For Joe and his family, this
was (and I quote) "the millennium trip. At least for us.
We didn't make it down to WDW on New Year's Eve. The crowds,
the Y2K glitches that never happened, a lot of reasons entered
into it. But, I'd decided that this would be the trip when we
would celebrate the millennium. Heck, Disney was selling it,
and I was buying. The millennium celebration was lasting all
year, right?" This is a fun play-by-play report that
I know you'll enjoy.

a wonderful visit WDW together. The trip was Anne's birthday

play-by-play one that give quite a bit of detail about how to

reactions to the upscale accommodations are fun to read, too.

- Comments: My Mom and Dad visited WDW
in January for just a few days. The report is play-by-play
style, and describes the time that the Bennetts spent in the
parks (they didn't get to Animal Kingdom on this trip, I think
because the old passes that they were using up didn't include
that park).

- Comments: Sue sent me this report with
the following comment. "Here's the latest. Next trip
starts in 33 days! How's the weather up there? Boy, do I have
a mean streak! ;-)." As I type this, we in Michigan
are hunkering down for an expected 12 inches of snow.
So, while I'm up in the great white North battling with the
elements, Sue is basking in the Florida sun and visiting WDW.
Where's the justice in that?

- Comments: Jennifer's title for this report,
"Four Parks in Three Days with Grandma, Mom, Kir and V"
says it all. The foursome, including 10-year old Kirsten

details about the weather and crowds that will help anyone that
is planning an early Winter trip in the future.

- Comments: Kim sent me the pre-trip report
for this journey just a few days before her trip. She
was back before I was able to post it :) As always,
it's great to have regulars that provide me with reports trip
after trip. It makes my life easier. Having said
that, I'm sure you'll enjoy the report...a quick one, by a vet.
