I’ve decided to go for it and take the kids down to Disney for spring break.

Now we just have to plan, and there’s so much to do and so much to choose from. There’s also a ton of information on the internet, in books and even directly from Disney itself. (Those DVDs sure helped me make my decision)

Anyhow, while I wade through all the planning details I’ve decided to blog the entire experience from start to finish. So check back often as this page should grow and grow as we get closer to taking off for our trip. Maybe I’ll inspire you to make the trip to the Magic Kingdom too!

Enjoy!
