Gonna be a great time at WDW with all of us Louisiana folks there! I can hardly wait.

Is this BRADY Bunch going to WDW again!?
We've driven straight through before, leaving at 3:00 a.m. and arriving shortly after 3:30 p.m. My kids weren't as young as yours, though. I think if I were to stop and spend the night, I would try to get to Tallahassee. That stretch between Pensacola and Tallahassee is a killer.
As for cheap hotels, we did stop at the welcome center around Ocala and had them get us into a hotel that night. I've also booked hotwire.com and priceline.com. I'm kindof thinking that if it were me, I'd see just how far I could make it, with the kids and all, and decide last minute whether to keep on or stop. Play it by ear.
Go Cro Bears!
That's really great! And it'll give you that night to sleep so maybe your days won't be all wacked.Howdy stranger!
Yep, we're making our third trip to WDW this summer and thanks to some excellent advice from Lady Snow, we booked an extra night at our resort. It was $136 for the night, but that's about what we probably would have paid on a Saturday night in Orlando.

We decided on early Dec for our trip. Was going to stay in the cabins, but decided to pull our 5th wheel down instead. Saved quite a few hundred dollars on that decision!
That's great about Quentin and Lucas. My oldest graduated with Lucas and I made her take a picture with him at the sweetheart dance. I told him he would be famous someday and I wanted to have his picture with my daughter. He was King and he is wearing a crown! I'll have to get your e-mail out of the paper and send it to you!
DH even put the new luggage racks on top of the van this weekend to make sure everything fit... After many trips of cramming everything into our van, we decided to buy a luggage carrier for the top of the van. WOW....that thing can hold a ton of stuff I was just hoping it was going to hold one large suitcase and the 2 strollers, but we will be able to put a few other things too.
I just had so tell someone...I am so excited!!

Hey Rhonda! I was just thinking of you yesterday (and your daughter). We are going Dec 12-19th. Pulling the 5th wheel and also putting the tent up for extra sleeping. The girls are mortified about sleeping in the tent (they are 19-22), so DH, DS12 and I will sleep in it!Hi all....originally from Louisiana, but now living in the Houston area. Love, Love, Love DW!!!
kguilbeau, when in Dec. are you going. I'm going Nov. 29 - Dec. 5!!
It's me...Rhonda
Wow - I wish I could help you.
I live literally 15 minutes from Blue Bayou and never go there anymore....
The Teens really stopped going as well....
The Crowds just have gotten crazy over the years.....
They did build a new ride over this winter...but if you haven't been since Dixie Landin' then there will be many new things.
Check out their website....
Hugs,
Mary
Hello my fellow Louisianians...it's been quite some time since I've been on this thread.
I was wondering...have any of you been to Blue Bayou & Dixie Landings in Baton Rouge in the past year or so? We are going there next weekend and I'm really looking forward to it because I haven't been in a few years. I hear there are some new rides at BB. And I've never stepped foot in DLandings so it'll ALL be new for me!
I've been trying to find some more info on the rides and such, especially the new ones at Blue Bayou, but have been unsuccessful. Ideally I'd love to read a trip report of sorts.
Anyone willing to share their experience?
Be prepared for huge crowds....
DS and his friends went a few weekends ago on a Friday, the crowds were manageable from opening until around noon then it was packed to the gills miserable. DH & I stopped going 6 or 7 years ago.
oh bummer..
we are going on a Friday so that should not be nearly as bad as Saturday and Sunday...wouldn't you think?
I did look at their website (it's not very good). I wish they actually listed all their attractions and descriptions like WDW does!
Have you done Azuka, Conja, and Voodoo? These 3 are the ones I haven't been on in the water park.
oh geez....was it the Fri before Memorial day weekend? (or Mothers Day weekend perhaps?) I'd imagine even those Fridays may have been busier than normal due to people taking vacation around that time
I'll ask my DS17 when he gets home in a bit.... he and his friend should know....
I love your signature...I MISS ADVENTURER's CLUB!!! Can't we petition to bring it back or something? Kongaloosh!
Come to think of it, it was Memorial day weekend. Hopefully you'll have a great day! Sorry to alarm you.
