- Comments: Michael and his wife Becca
(they co-wrote this report) cover their four-day stay at Port
Orleans nicely. The trip was a bit different than planned,
their friends were not able to join them as planned, but Michael
and Becca had a great time just the same. They even got
in a bit of a preview for their upcoming September trip.

- Comments: This is a wonderfully written
report of a too-short trip in late February. On top of
enjoying the "typical" stuff that WDW has to offer,
Julie and her husband Matt enjoyed a wonderful meal at Victoria
& Alberts (and the description of the meal is great!).

- Comments: Kim's trip report is a wonderful
description of her family's trip. It covers just
about everything...from tickets to meals from touring plans
to offsite attractions. Originally posted as a pre-trip
report, Kim has followed up with one of the most detailed and
helpful reports I've posted to the site in a while!

- Comments: Joe traveled to WDW with friends
Jay and Chuck. None of the guys are WDW gurus, so the
report is refreshing and fun to read. If you're an adult
planning a trip for yourself and other adults, this report has
some great helps. There's several great lists in the summary
at the end of the report, especially.

- Comments: Lisa's group was LARGE, with an almost
even split of experienced hands and rookies. Lisa's immediate
family were joined by her brother's family and parents, mother-in-law,
and niece! The group took up four rooms at Dixie Landings.
If you're planning a trip for a large group, this one is worth
reading through.

- Comments: Julie and her Mom, Debbie, spent
a long weekend at WDW in early February. This is
a detailed play-by-play account of the trip that covers all
three parks to various extents.

- Comments: Laurie and Brad are the consummate
WDW trip planners....but this time they went on the spur-of-the-moment.
It was just a weekend visit, and obviously very little planning
took place this time, but the trip was a wonderful mid-Winter
break for the Lemleys.

- Comments: Robin's report is a fun combination
of a play-by-play (she provides a good overview at the beginning
of the report) and a summary style. This report is full
of details on the resorts and parks. Don't miss it!

- Comments: This is a masterful summary-style
report. Andrew covers a lot of detail here, but it's well
organized and easy to find the material you're looking for.
If you like summary reports, here's a classic for you!

- Comments: The Toner clan visited WDW for three
days in mid-February. This is a brief report of a short
trip, but well worth reading. Aileen closes with a list
of comments that would be valuable for any trip planner.

- Comments: Derek and Anne go to WDW more often
than anyone should be allowed (except for me, of course!).
This was the couples eighth - I think I have the count right
- since their wedding at WDW three years ago. As dyed-in-the-wool
"smellers of the roses," the DeBoers really know how
to enjoy the wonders of WDW. For that reason, this report
is an excellent example of how to tour the vacation kingdom!

- Comments: Tim followed up his pre-trip report
with this wonderful write-up of the Haverty family trip to Walt
Disney World. In addition to a fun-to-read play-by-play
of the trip, Tim follows his report with a list of things he
would repeat on a future, and some that he wouldn't. Very
worthwhile report to read, especially if you have kids along!

- Comments: Beth's report is an well-written
summary of her family's week-long trip. The Hodges
stayed at Fort Wilderness Campground in a pop-up camper (I think
this might be the first trip report on my site in which the
guests stayed in a camper). Another fun aspect of
the report is the trivia questions that Molly, Beth's daughter,
has laced throughout the report.

- Comments: James' report is a nice play-by-play
of the family's three day visit to WDW. One of the
nice features of the report is a rare look at Pleasure Island.
I'm not sure why, but it seems that most folks that write trip
reports seem to spend little time there.

- Comments: Wendy, a Florida local, spent a day
at WDW (Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom) just for the fun of
writing a trip report! This is a girl after my own heart
:) For whatever reason she wrote this up, the report is
a fast-paced, play-by-play description of a handful of Disney
lovers enjoying the parks together.

- Comments: Alan and his wife Diane spent the
better part of a week at WDW in early January. In addition
to enjoying much of Walt Disney World, Alan also went on the
"Hidden Treasures" tour at Epcot. The write-up
of that tour alone, is worth reading the report!

- Comments: Janice, another addict of this web
site, had a wonderful time planning her trip. Fortunately,
she had an even better time while at Walt Disney World!
A large contingent of the Hubbard family participated in the
trip, so if you're curious about how to handle a trip with a
crowd, this report may help. Janice ends the report with a fantastic
list of comments and suggestions. Read them, if nothing
else here!

- Comments: The Taylor's were hosted by Judy's
dad at Shades of Green, the Department of Defense resort on
WDW property. The group had a wonderful time. One
of the interesting tidbits of Judy's report is that she planned
what everyone would do day by day, then she provides the "reality"
of what actually happened.

- Comments: It's fun to read Frank's report,
especially the comparisons of WDW versus Disneyland. I
almost died laughing when I read his comment that "For
us Disneylanders, Epcot is a "weird" park," for
example. I guess it's those odd, unusual, unexpected things
that make WDW different from Disneyland and any other vacation
destination and worth going back to explore year after year.
