My children range in age from 28 to 18, I've flown many time with every age category. I've been to Disney with all ages too and love it. However..... I flew from JFK to Boston to Buffalo, NY yesterday and there is a major flaw in the TV will entertain your child theory. The flight didn't board until 2 hours after the assigned take off time. That's more than 2 hours in the waiting room because you need to go through security long before boarding time. Hours with no entertainment and no information about what is going on. After finally boarding we spent 2 hours sitting on the tarmac. That's 4 hours of unnecessary sitting. The reason finally given was the storm that hit the east coast, however... the storm was Friday and I was sitting there for hours on Sunday. Real reason? Jet Blue has more tin than run way at JFK. Simple as that. Their failure to communicate is purely because they know the public would never tolerate the truth. So.... how did you like Jet Blue? How did you like Jet Blue?

We've been down there about twice a year lately it seems. Last August we stayed at Port Orleans...Clare loved the pool. What's overhyped or not-to-be missed is different for everyone. But make dinner reservations as soon as you can. If you have any questions about going let me know. You’ll have a great time. We’ve been down there about twice a year lately it seems.

Our daughter was 18-months and went crazy. Don't miss "Everest" at Animal Kingdom, make sure you use "Fast Passes" for everything (well, the big rides) and I hope your staying in a Disney Resort- because you can't beat the perks like staying late-hours after the parks close. That was well worth it... We just went over Christmas and loved it. Our daughter was 18-months and went crazy.

Crazy? Yes, and it was also spring break so there were 5 million people there. We pretty much stayed in the Mickey Mouse and Buzz Lightyear sections. We had a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to going back when the boys are a little older, maybe 10 and 7. MUST SEE - The Lion King show at Animal Kingdom. really. And the midnight fireworks. yes, take the kids. In 2005 we went with 5-year old son and 2-year old son. Crazy? Yes, and it was also spring break so there were 5 million people there.

My ex and I are trying to plan a trip to take our children this year, since they are at a good age for their first trip. Are you doing Park Hopper passes? Those are the way to go, so you can go from one park to another in the same day. The Animal Kingdom is amazing, and Epcot is very cool, especially if you like science and cultural themes. Your daughter will love the Magic Kingdom, of course, and if you can, you definitely want to book a meal with the characters. They fill up quick, so book one now if you are interested. Email me if you have any questions, it's been a few years since I last went, but DisneyWorld is one place that never loses it's magic! BTW, I had to laugh when you compared DisneyLand to Great Adventure. I've never been to DL, but I used to go to Great Adventure all the time!
