Comments: With Florida having been added to her husband's work terroritory it has allowed Stacey to spend a lot of time of Walt Disney World. She has recently been visiting with her toddler, but with baby number 2 on the way, this may be one of the final trips of this type she gets to make.

Comments: For their fifteenth wedding anniversary, Terri and her husband were in need of some intense relaxation. A week at Walt Disney World was just what they were looking for, even if Hurricane Frances meant they only got five of the seven days.

Comments: This long visit to Walt Disney World was a bit on the unintentional side. Various factors caused a late start to summer vacation planning, and it worked out that Walt Disney World was the best fit for their timeshare needs. They still had a great time, though.
