[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never done Disney and to be honest I have a hard time fathoming why people would. Is it like kings dominion on crack? I say this purely out of curiosity--what's so great about it? How would you describe it? [/quote]

I thought I would hate it.  I hate kings dominion. I love real traveling.  And I got kinda tricked into going.  But I have to admit, it was fun and a great week, other than the one day we ignored all advice and showed up at magic kingdom at 11am.  That was hell on earth.[/quote]

We usually got a late start.  It depends on when you go. We will only go to magic kingdom during the week.  Weekends are crazy but it is slower when kids are in school. [/quote]

But why aren't your kids in school?  I would never sacrifice my children's education for princesses and roller coasters. Real travel, sure maybe, as informal education is as important as formal. But for Disney?  Hell no.  The lesson that would teach is not within our value system.[/quote]

Not the PP you're responding to, but we are about to take our kids out of school for two days for Disney. OUR value system values time together as a family. They are in elementary school; two days away with family, enjoying something they'll find absolutely thrilling, fits just fine into our family ethos of working hard and taking your responsibilities seriously. Work is done before we go; work is done after we return. But we take time to enjoy our lives.

Pretty sure my kids will still pass 3rd grade and 1st grade, despite the example we set. [/quote]
