My wife and I recently moved to Charlotte and in reorganizing my DVD collection, I came across this interesting discovery. Some years I even have duplicates if anyone's interested...lol.
Thought it was a fun fact to share.
Dido!
My favorite vacation planner VHS is the bright yellow one from the early 90's (I think '93). When I was little I used to watch that video every Saturday morning and now have the tape memorized!

When you realize you can fly for free using rewards points...so you go ahead and book round-trip flights for you and your DW...and are now trying to figure out where to stay at WDW

Well...
DS won't be making this trip...as it is a quick trip down there really just to give DW and I a nice vacation...something we haven't done since our first anniversary.
We do plan on taking DS in 2015 though...once he's old enough to be out of diapers...something we are working on right now.

Oh

Well, it is still great that you and Mrs. BIG will have a chance to have a mini vacation. And I bet whoever is watching him will enjoy the time with him as well

And no diapers at WDW will be a very good thing!

You know you and your husband are both Disney nuts when...you're driving home from phys. therapy in Chicago on S. LSD, passing the Museum of Science and Industry and you both spot the large Mouse ears banner hanging at the entrance of the museum and yell in unison..."MICKEY"!!!!!!

When you giggle at the for sale sign on the house across the street because the agent's name is Tim Morrow. Must be Tom's brother.
