  Introduction
Back in November I mentioned to my dad that I'd like to take the kids to Walt Disney World. We had gone to Disneyland often, but I thought they were old enough to really appreciate WDW. When I asked him if he'd like to also go, he said yes, as long as I made all the plans. He just wanted to go
enjoy himself. He and his wife decided to also bring her grandson, who gets along great with my own two rascals. All that was left for me to do was plan and plan. and plan. I bought various guidebooks, and hit the Web. I not only found a wealth of information, but I was given the opportunity to interact with a special group of people from all over the world who share that bond of appreciating the magic that Disney offers to everyone who is willing to experience it.
