We are leaving for our WDW vacation on Monday, April 29th.
I want to thank everyone here so much for helping us to plan our WDW vacation.
We have only had our travel trailer one year and decided to try WDW's campground.
This discussion board, along with several others, has been invaluable in helping us plan for this experience. I feel like we are ready to "Take on The World".
It has been many, many years since either of us were at WDW, and we were not there together. We were married one year ago and since have both retired from our jobs with Black & Decker.
Our Itinerary... created from the knowledge gained from this discussion board is as follows:
Each day includes specific planned activities/attractions, with lots of opportunity to
just "wing it".
Who: Ed & Barb... 1st Wedding anniversary on May 4th.
When: Wednesday, May 1 thru Tuesday, May 7.
