    How many national parks have you visited?

    I've only been to a few - but we did make it to the Dry Tortugas. If you are ever in the Florida Keys, I highly suggest the day trip from Key West. It's about a 2 hour boat ride but so beautiful.

    PlanDisney Panelist Search 2024 Applications Now Open

    That's good odds though! I think I've applied every year for the past 10 with the exception of one year because of the way our trips fell and I didn't qualify that time - and I have never made it to round two. I think they are trying to tell me something....

    For those of you who live in Rural areas...

    In our Rural area K-8 stops in front of the house without the need to cross the street for k-4. Schools are broken down k-4, 5 & 6, then 7 & 8, then high school 9-12. K-4 will be in front of the house with no need to cross. 5-8 they still stop in front of the house but not necessarily where they...

    Trip without Genie+ ?

    We went last Thanksgiving week - so things may be different since then. We did not buy Genie +. We did but ILL for Flight of Passage and Rise but that was it. We were able to ride everything. Of course, we don't mind waiting in some lines. Some of our favorite times are waiting in lines as...

    Unsafe ride at Seaworld Orlando evacuated today

    Growing up and living near Cedar Point - it doesn't even phase us when roller coasters stop and have to be evacuated anymore. It happens so often there. A friend of mine was stuck on the windseeker swings for almost an hour - swings up 300 feet in the air! That one would do me in for sure! My...

    13 month old… go back to room for 2 naps?

    I know I may be in the minority but when my son was 16 months, we just let him fall asleep in his stroller when he was good and tired. I figured by the time we would head back then try to get him a nap and then make it back to the park it would take up too much time.

    50's Prime Time with larger party?

    I have eaten there with a group of 8 and many times with 6. Be prepared to eat at off times for a larger group. I think we ended up with a time around 3:00 for the largest group that year.

    What's the worst thing a teacher did to you at school?

    My senior year a teacher gave me a lower grade then what I actually earned stating he felt it would make me "work harder the next quarter" but what it did was lower my GPA just enough where it knocked me out of attending my senior year honor's banquet, and almost had me kicked out of the top 10%...

    What is your earliest "where were you when" story?

    The Challenger. I was in 5th grade and I remember hearing over the announcement and then our teacher bringing a tv in for us to watch the news coverage

    PlanDisney 2023 Applications! What have previous questions / interview process been like?

    I am going to apply - again lol. Think I've tried every year for the past I don't know how many and haven't made it past the first round yet. :) Something new I noticed this year is that you can preview the questions before entering the application process and that the application has to be...

    Jr. High or Middle School?

    Ours is different yet. In our district K-4 is elementary; 5-6 is Intermediate; 7-8 junior high; 9-12 high school. Although I think we are the only district in the area that has schools set up this way.

    High school homecoming - how much will you spend and who pays for it?

    We were just looking at dresses for my freshman yesterday. She is planning on going with a group. The two dresses she is considering are both $60. I laughed how fancy they are because back when I went (early 90's lol) we just wore skirts and tops/sweaters. The nice thing is we have a wedding to...

    Everything PhotoPass & Memory Maker

    I have a question on timing that I hope I can ask here (if not, sorry!). We have a trip December 27-31 and I purchased memory maker. We have another trip February 3-6. It is my understanding that if I don't "activate" memory maker until say the middle of January, I can still get the pictures...

    NBC Sports Grill & Brew

    We were just there on July 27. we made the reservation on the app/website as we were walking over from Sapphire Falls about 6:30 and were able to get 7:15pm. Our service was good and I enjoyed my food. We did try to go back that Friday but were trying about 6 pm and then there was nothing until...

    Cedar Point - has the Magic moved North?

    If you like thrill rides it's awesome, and if you have little ones for the Snoopy area it's great too. For someone like DS12 who doesn't like the thrills (I think we scared him there at an early age!) there isn't much to do. He would take WDW over going there any day. I will agree the food...
