- Comments: Kim took two different trips in December
(separated by a week) and combined them into a single trip report.
Kim pointed out, in her email to me, that folks that are planning
trips for this coming December might find these helpful.
I agree. One feature of this report is the incredible
detail that Kim provides on the planning side. I also
enjoyed her list of new things that she enjoyed on her trip.

- Comments: This is an excellent trip report
of an eight day trip to Walt Disney World, one of the best features
of which is the list of likes / dislikes / and lessons-learned
at the end. The trip started and ended with some hassles,
but in-between, the Ballonis had a great vacation.

- Comments: Brian and his girlfriend Amy visited
WDW to enjoy the holiday season in the parks. This was
their first ever trip to Walt Disney World, and you'll just
have to read up to see how it all went. (Let's just say,
the list of good stuff at the end of the report is much longer
than the list of bad stuff.)

- Comments: Fifteen different people were involved
in this trip to see Sheri and her husband renew their wedding
vows. Sheri told me, "As you can see, we were diverse.
There were fifteen of us in all at one point. Plus, we met up
with Larry Wilmot and Sue Holland a couple of times. This
is a long report... Having this many people and so many special
moments make for an extreme report. Also, I like to include
details. There's your warning. Proceed with caution."

- Comments: Normally Sue and son Chris spend
the holiday week at the DVC Hilton Head resort, but this year
they visited WDW instead to meet up with friends from Scotland.
Believe it or not, this was the very first time that Sue had
ever spent that busy week between Christmas and New Year's at
the World! (Note:
As Sue spent a great deal of time at Pleasure Island and in
other adult venues, on this trip, this report has some information
that may not be appropriate for young readers.)

of the trip. (Note:
