- Comments: Kathy finally got around to
writing a report on the trip that Stan asked her to marry him.
It's about time! I'm sure you'll enjoy reading this flashback
report (It's October, 2000 as I post this one). Kathy
has since written several other reports, but this one covers
the first trip of the (to be) Kula clan.

This was documents Julie and Matt's impromptu visit to WDW in
early November. This was a shorter trip, but Julie packed
a lot in (including several experiences in navigating the huge
WDW complex...much to her consternation).

- Comments: Steve's report wasn't written until
1997, but it covers the first impressions of a couple of Disneyland
veterans very well. Steve and his wife stayed at Fort Wilderness
Campground. The trip was a short one, since the Clarks only
had a few short days to spend in the parks, but the impressions
and comparisons Steve writes are priceless.

- Comments: Darla, her four-year-old son, and
a friend stayed at the new Boardwalk Villas resort for this
trip. The report was originally written and posted to AOL's
DVC message board, so it definitely gives you that "you
are there" feeling.

for those folks that are considering a Disney Institute vacation!.

father (who stayed in a separate room). It covers a lot of territory
with a lot of detail.

- Comments: This trip report is interesting,
at least for me, since it's one of the few I've read in which
the guests stayed at Fort Wilderness. On the last day of the
trip, the Benson's moved over to the All Star resorts for a
change of pace.

- Comments: This report covers my latest trip
to WDW. We started the trip with a weekend in Charleston, South
Carolina -- then spent twelve days at OKWR and WDW. Besides
Barb and I, our newborn son Allan, and Mom and Dad (Allan's
namesake) Bennett joined us for this trip. The report covers
day-to-day activities, but also focuses attention on the trip
planning process and WDW touring with an infant (a new experience
for us).

trip in October and the first few days of November. The report
is short, but has alot of hints about how to travel with a 4
1/2 year old.

- Comments: Lisa spent several days at the All
Star Music Resort in October. She extended the trip by staying
offsite for a few additional days. Her report isn't in the usual
"diary" form, but rather is a compilation of her opinions
of the attractions, restaurants, and resorts. To learn more,
read Lisa's report from December, too...(she was lucky enough
to go to WDW twice in 1996!)

- Comments: Jenn and her two children, Brendan
age 4 1/2, and Erin age 7, stayed at the Beach Club Resort during
their visit to WDW in October. Before they arrived at WDW, they
made a side trip to Universal Studios while staying at a non-Disney
hotel. This is a well-written, entertaining, and informative
report.

- Comments: Dave, his fiancée, sister, and friend
all traveled to WDW. They stayed at the Villas at the Disney
Institute, but didn't take any classes. This is a well-written
report and well worth the time to read.

- Comments: Ken and his friend spent a few days
at WDW while in Florida on Business. Ken considered this trip
a "dry run" for a possible family trip later on...in
the meantime, he captured his own opinion of do's and don'ts
that are very helpful.

- Comments: This report reviews Lynn's trip with
her husband John and daughter Lynzee. They spent several days
at Caribbean Beach Resort. The story of Lynn's trip is interesting
because Lynn clearly researched the trip...and points out several
of the hints that she uncovered and how they worked...or didn't
work.

- Comments: John and his family stayed at The
All Star Sports Resort on this trip. One of the coolest things
about this report is the reviews of attractions and resorts
that John included in the summary of his report. Very helpful
information here...

- Comments: Roberta and her husband stayed at
Port Orleans on this trip. A rehearsal for IllumiNations 25,
the new nighttime show at EPCOT, woke Roberta up around 6:00am
one morning during the trip...and she thought that was Disney
magic! :)

- Comments: Ray and his family decided to stay
on-site at Port Orleans on their trip, too. Ray discusses the
planning of his trip, literally from scratch, that began eight
months before the trip. He also summarizes information that
he had to learn the hard way...but you won't, if you read up!

- Comments: This is a report that Bill wrote
about his recent stay at Disney's Hilton Head resort. It's not
WDW, as Bill points out, but it's Disney. Disney Vacation Club
members especially will be interested in this report.
