Pi}{ie I noticed in your list for DTD you listed balloon, and I assume it to mean the Characters in Flight ascending balloon. If you have not already experienced it you will love it, it is a fantastic trip up and the view is tremendous. I have been on it multiple times both in daylight AND nightime and look forward to doing it again. Even if you do not like heights this will be a fun time. MrHub and Scrappy have also done it a few times and Scrappy was a little apprehensive at first but I am sure they will agree it is a great time and the design of the basket will help alleviate any worries you might have. Have fun!!

Do you know the cost of the balloon? Thats the one thing that may negate me doing it.

It was about $16 the last time we did it. That was probably around a year ago.

We've never done the balloon. We"ll add that to the list of things to do at dtd, along with The Earl of Sandwich and maybe baby cakes for a sugar free treat for Mike. He is diabetic, but desperately wants to try the kitchen sink by himself. I'm trying to talk him out of it but he's determined to do it before school starts.

I think you've covered all our faves. We love walking around Boardwalk at night. The kids like the candy shop on Main street.
Have fun, we can feel your excitement!

I wanted to ask you about Space Mountain..when was the last time you rode it? They renovated it a few years ago and supposedly made it better--I haven't been on it since the refurb so I can't really speak if it's better or not..but maybe you will like it now!

I like SM, and I like it since the refurb. I hear Disneyland's is way better, but I don't know from personal experience. No Haunted Mansion at MK? Awesome Awesome. And the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House and Tom Sawyer's Island are also fun...and you've GOTTA do the new Tink meet and greet!

I know that you have a lot of health issues/eating restrictions. Do you drink? If so, La Cava del Tequila is a can't miss at Epcot. If that's a silly suggestion, please disregard

We will do HM probably 2-3 times. I dont think we've ever done the tree house. We did tink last year dunno if we'll do it this years.

I do drink in moderation 1-2 drinks once in a blue moon. I dont care for tequila though. I also have alcohol restrictions with some of my medications. So drinking maybe off the table other than my cousin's wedding night anyway.
