We were there no more than 15 minutes when a day camp bus pulled up and a herd of kids in matching red t-shirts came off the bus and swarmed the playground!

I have to be so careful not to step on toes with my opinions regarding Disney (and I've not always been successful in that regard!). We've taken our children on several extensive trips (some international), and some people question how we can do that. To me it's simple, I'd rather take my children to see the real world and not an imaginary one. But, to each family their own! I'm glad you had a wonderful time, FishFam!

(Wish we could afford to renew) I hear they are building separate princess castles for each princess and they'll have a whole princess "land/area". I think it opens late spring this year. I'm so excited I can't stand it! My 3 yo princess and I will be dressed and ready to go! We go to Disney World and had passes last year.
