- Comments: For Robert and his wife, the opportunity for this trip arose shortly after the 2002 trip. They were offered a cheap trip in return for sitting through a time-share hard sell. Some people have way more dedication to going to Disney World than I do.

had plenty of time to plan this trip and she made the best of it. More than a

- Comments: Making a family trip to Disney
World is now a family tradition for the birthday of Kay's father. Local discounts
really help Kay put this trip together and this report is a good example of the
planning that can go into a successful trip.

It looked like Kaye and her husband weren't going to get their annual Disney World
trip this year, but in the end they got an unexpected reprieve. That scare, perhaps,
made them appreciate the trip even more and it was one fo their best ever.

A series of great prices on airfare, hotel, and car rental made for a pretty cost-efficient
trip for Bill and his daughter. This trip only confirmed his fondness for staying
at Coronado Springs and it was another successful trip.

A familiar name returns with his sixth trip report. For this trip they had a great
friend for company, and their youngest was old enough to do everything with the
rest of the family (with six reports over four years, we're practically watching
those kids grow up!).

The perfect new job requires the perfect last vacation before returning to the
grind. Though Amanda's husband doesn't get the Disney World thing, she had his
blessing for a solo trip with their son.

- Comments: Sheri begins
her report with a warning that it is long. And she knows that of which
she speaks. But when bringing together 11 family members from around the country
for a visit to Walt Disney World includes Memorial Day Weekend, how could it be
anything but long. Enjoy.

- Comments: Taking your 3-year-old
daughter to visit grandma is a wonderful thing. When grandma lives an hour from
Walt Disney World it is also an opportunity not to be missed. And on that hook
did Catharine hang a wonderful five-day trip to the World.

- Comments: Weckerlys are
just the family this trip reports are meant to help. They love Disney World but
hadn't made a trip since 1987. Wanting to make sure the event is as magical as
possible for their three children, they used all the guides and tips they could
find. We thank them for returning the favor by turning around and contributing
a report of their own.

last performance at Comedy Warehouse. Note: As Sue spend

Her 10-day trip earlier in the month was not enough for Sue, so she headed back
to the resort for Memorial Day weekend. A trip into Orlando reminds Sue why she
hates downtown, but watching a favorite CM in a show makes it worth the effort.

- Comments: Apparently the emotional
response to Robin's last trip report ran strongly in favor of taking her sister
on a trip to Disney World. So that is just what they did this time around. This
week-long trip was another success and much fun was had all around.

- Comments: A couple 20-year-old,
unused tickets (one from 1981 and another from 1985) to Magic Kingdom provide
Ellen and her family the necessary excuse to for a quick visit. Universal Studios
also received some attention.

Sarah's husband, Bobby, is relatively new to life in a wheelchair. But they've
quickly learned the difficulties. In this report, which focuses on the accessibility
issues at Disney World, they're pleasantly surprised at how much they can do.

Despite unusually warm weather, this 10-day trip provides more than enough good
times to remind Sue why DVC is worth the money. Note:

- Comments:
For regular trip report writer, this four-day trip was a new way of experiencing
Disney World. Unexptected foot problems have put her husband, Rich, into a wheelchair
for the trip and quick lessons in experiencing Disney World with mobility issues
are to be learned.
