Yes this is our third time going to Disney as a family but the other two
where back in 2005 and 06. My Mom is actually a dual Florida/NJ resident
because she owns property down there. They bought the tickets for us last
time at a discount because of the residency. However, I have heard that
the rules have changed and they only allow the persons who are Florida
residents to get the discount and you have to show your license when you
check in at the gate. Then the tickets are locked to your fingerprint so
even if you don't use all of your days, you can't sell your ticket to
someone else once it has been used by you at all.
I am not really looking forward to the park. I would much rather have real
life adventures than pretend ones, however it isn't all about me. The kids
are great kids, they are growing up quick, and they asked for this vacation
so we are doing it and it will be fun because we are together. We rented a
nice house with a pool and a hot tub so at least I have that to look
forward to coming home to every night :-)
Thanks for all of the help and advice.
Ken
