Random things to know

*You CAN fit a family of six in a standard third row SUV with hardly any cargo room and a turtle up top with a: double stroller, 7 large duffle bags, a briefcase, 5 pillows, 5 blankets, 5 backpacks, one mommy bag, one baby bag, one big beach bag filled with toiletries, 10 plastic bags filled with groceries and paper goods, and one air purifier/noise maker.

*McDonald's or other fast food joint is a better stop than the reststop, for your 5 year still remembers a year and half ago on his last Disney trip one of the reststops filled with bugs and still won't go in one to pee, and instead will hold it forever.

*Stopping every hour on a 6 hour road trip for breaks, diaper changes and feedings only delays you about 1 1/2 hours. Unless you hit traffic.

*Taking advantage of the early park days for those who stay at Disney Resorts gets you on a very popular ride in 10 mins rather than 2 + hours.

*Downtown Disney Store has every Disney item you can imagine and more!

*Having your 5 year swim with new friends encourages him to be more brave about letting those legs float up behind him and start kicking! He walked back and forth between the steps and would kick up every now and again (25+ feet) over and over again keeping up with two new girl friends as they swam back and forth.

*Getting in the hot tub after swimming takes the chill right out of your bones! And the kiddos don't complain about being cold.

*Having to 'yell' (because it comes out as a squeak) while voice is still recovering from laryngitis might not be the best thing and probably should go get it checked out.

*4 nights/5 days in Disney just might not be long enough for a family of 6 with naps and pool time, one more day would have been perfection.

*To have at least one or more adult on a Disney trip with 4 children, so most all children have an adult buddy and so adults can have small breaks and go on rides: Priceless ~ gonna have to look into that next time ;-)

Future trip: October 2009 either in Disney Land or Disney World!!
