    Our family have been all around the world and we have travelled extensively over the years - yet we still return every year, to Florida!
    Are there any more Disney freaks here?
    We did Disneyland Paris once - and hated it! People smoking in the lines, and the weather - brrr... no way jose'....

    Nice to see another Disney Freak!
    We go in july -- we will be there for the 4th July!
    Independence Day is amazing over there - the parks stay open late and if you are staying in the Disney Resorts (we are) - then you get to stay and ride till after midnight.
    It is hellish busy and the queues are incredibly long - but with navigational skills (acquired after many years of visits) and fastpasses you can do loads!
    Everyone is happy and the atmosphere is awesome. we cannot wait to see the fireworks again - they are *expolsive*..

    Hi there Disney freak
    Wow you got married in Disney -- did you have the wedding at the Grand Floridian? That looks cool.. (the wedding pavilion)
    belated congrats! We have stayed at the G. F a few times but prefer the Polnesian and Animal K. resort.

    Tower of Terror is brilliant - we have ridden that so many times, yet never fails to thrill!
    I cannot really say we have a fave.. (all the rides are great... but space mountain despite being a little old fashioned is always our first ride.
    However, this year it is closed for a re-furb.
    (we shall be sad if it is changed too much next year.)
    We cannot wait to try out Manta - at Seaworld this year.. it opens this month.
    Yes, Disneyland Paris has a few new rides - but they just don't cut it for us lot! (sorry Frenchies!)
    Yes, Harry Potter looks good -- we will get to ride that next year.
    Its great to know that we are not alone in our Disney'isms... we are just mad for it, and Florida, and have been going every year since 1983...

    See you in the parks oneday maybe!

    we got married in Celebration, which was owned by Disney then but i think they sold it off now.....

    looking forward to manta as well, my friend is flying out today so i will have to get his reports from it!

    next time we have 8 people with us so far...that may grow before we actually go!! we always get a big villa to share so we can have bbq's in the evening but we do like trying all the different places to eat, our fav is bahama breeze. there's a shuttle launch as well planned, we saw one last time we went but i might try and get tickets to be really up close this time!

    we love shopping out there too....we always end up paying for an extra suitcase to bring home and we dont take anything out there. last time we had to go to walmart the first night because one of the men didnt take any extra socks with him...........that's men for you.

    Yes, shopping - we do too.. and especially Wallmart -- lots of cheap cosmetics and smellies! We always now take a fold out extra holdall to accommodate all the new stuff! Have you tried the Millenium Mall - it is fabby!
    However, this year will not be a good year for shopping with the pound so low against the $..
    You say you were married in Celebration -- how lovely..
    I have seen villas for rent on Celebration, too but not sure if they are available now, as it seems like a proper community.
    When we have rented, sometimes we stayed in Formosa Gardens on the lake.
    We tend now to stay in the hotels and benefit from the extra hours... which is great especially in the high season when the parks are crazy busy.

    Do let us know how your friend liked Manta! Yay... how exciting!
