I've never been but someday will go. I love Disneyland and look very forward to visiting World someday. I try to hit Disneyland weekly for my fix, Tuesday was great, cloudy and rain, best days to go.

Not to sound like too much of an immature 32 year old, but go to Islands of Adventure and get on the Spider Man ride. My wife and I rode it 4 times in the day that we were there. It is awesome. We're talking about going next summer when our daughter will be close to 4 and can appreciate it a little more. She always talks about going to see Cinderella and Belle..................can't wait to spend all week talking to princesses, although Jasmine is pretty hot!!!!!!;)

My daughter was seven when we went and all she wanted was to get the autograph of every princess on her princess t-shirt. Halfway through the day we found all of them together with a very short line. We asked her if she wanted to go get the autographs but she said no, she'd rather go ride space mountain again!

Our only downside was that the Indiana Jones ride broke down - while we were on it.

Plan your rides and make wise use of the Fastpass.

We went last August and it was awesome. Last time I had been there was on my Honeymoon 15 years prior. My kids have been asking to head back since we came home.

The best advice I can provide is do some research prior to going. The best place for info that we found (other than books) was allears.net. They have everything you could ever want to know about disney. What is available, what parks are busiest by the day of the week, what attractions you don't want to miss, etc.

Well worth the time to research. (http://www.allears.net/)

another site to visit is intercott.com, good information.

I love the place,
you have made a good choice to stay on property, many little perks with that, that is only realized when you don't stay onsite.

who all is going with you kids wife?

We took my older 2 girls to Disney world when they were young. They had a blast but don't remember it much now. I hope to go back next year.

I've been twice with the family, and I spent some time at Epcot when I was there by myself on a work related trip.

There's is no age when Disney World stops being cool, it's just a matter of your perception of what you should act like.

It's all good there, so just go and have fun. I'm sure I'll go back someday. Well, maybe Disneyland instead, since I can drive there in 6 hrs now.

Try and take someone who speaks Japanese or start taking classes 'cause everything is in Japanese, of course...

Also, go early. The biggest shock for me and my friends was riding the trains all the way to the park and being greeted with "This park is closed" signs because the park was full.

When you do decide to go, make sure to have lunch with the princesses at Cinderella's castle. They will only take reservations 60 days in advance, and you have to begin calling at 7:00 AM exactly 60 days before you want to schedule lunch. If you call at 8:00 AM, forget it.

All the princesses will spend time with your daughter, pictures, etc. My daughter had a great time. The castle was real cool. Good food too!

Here's me with the Little Mermaid!! Hubba hubba!
