I friggin' LOVE Disney World!!! It's the only perk of being a Floridian I enjoy!
One key thing to remember... if you're eating in the park or at the resort just know that it'll cost you double whatever you're expecting it to cost you!
With that being said I'll ONLY stay at the DW resorts when I go there now. You can get great deals on the rooms there now. Plus... since it's now costing $15 per park to park your car, you're saving a lot of money by staying in the Disney resorts. The shuttle buses run all day long (just not past like 11:30pm), plus they'll take you to Downtown Disney too.
I would go to any reunion in DW in a heartbeat. That's one place that no matter what's going on, a smile is on my face and the youngster in me is like a fat butch in a femme candy store!
You're going to have so much fun!
