Here's my two girls, 8 year old Sammi and 9 1/2 year old CeCe with the Goofster. Gosh! Good times at Disney World last week. Here's what we learned:


Must do at Ft. Wilderness (that's where we stayed): Campfire sing-a-long and movie with Chip and Dale. Make s'mores and do the hokey pokey with the characters, then watch a Disney movie under the stars. Sounds corny but was really fun.

Little known must dos at Disney: Animation Studio at Hollywood Studios. Learn how to draw Disney characters from a Disney Animator. So cool we've done it multiple times each trip. Our girls couldn't get enough of this. Also, take part in the Dance Party with Stitch at Magic Kingdom in Tomorrowland. Dance with the characters! So fun for the kids!

Finally...Ride all the rides with no wait first 2 hours and last hour in the parks. In between, stay out of the parks. :)

Oh yes, and if you want to take your very young child (4 and under), get ready for some unhappiness at "the happiest place on earth". Their schedules get all thrown out of wack and they will continually express their displeasure. Wait a couple of years when they will remember it (and you won't have to take the stroller...MAN were there a lot of strollers there!)
