Screever's '4 parks one world christmas extravaganza'
Maybe not an extravaganza, but it is considered the best disney trip ever by both my parents.
Some highlights and low points before I organize my notes: - the awesome perks of being a CM, even if I'm just a campus rep! - buying lots of stuff for once! - taking parents to AK for the first time - seeing nature truly in action at AK (seriously, it was intense!) - 'losing' mom's camera  - eating the best food ever - appreciating the best food ever - getting dad on Everest - my mom realizing she lost 3 pounds on this trip!! - cockroaches, come ON. - 70 degree weather and 30 degree weather, oy! - missing Jack Sparrow by literally ten seconds. i swear i'll never see him - finding out Jose Carioca and Panchito have 'gone home'  - doing things we hadn't done in over 15 years - seeing the castle lit up and sparkly for MVMCP! - DHS (thats a low point) I can't wait to start, but I have to log it all away in my lil disney trip notebook before I stick it all here, cause I know I'll forget something otherwise. I don't know if it was the best Disney trip ever for me personally, but knowing my parents enjoyed it so much has really made me feel better about it. Getting them in for free and letting them do pretty much what THEY wanted to made it feel like an early Christmas present for 'em. Which would be awesome, cause now I wouldn't have to buy them anything.  Kidding!I'll start asap (and I'll finish my DL TR to boot) but of course we fly home from a beautiful vacation last night, back into total family chaos, so I'll try do my best. I missed you all!!!

Re: Screever's '4 parks one world christmas extravaganza'
I read that DHS was a "low point". It didn't say that after the cockroaches
 I wonder what you got to see at AK.

My mom is 61 and has a bad back too. She was picky, but even then we still kind of pushed it now and then. EG. on the Safari, we had to sit in the LAST row, making it extremely bumpy and uncomfortable for ALL of us. Like, small children could have been thrown out of their seats. (Ask for front row, OY.) She avoided all the thrill rides as well, coasters of all sizes, Test Track... I did most of those with pops, but even he, the thrill seeker, drew some lines in the sand now and then (said NO to Space Mountain and ToT. Good for him!) Be careful on It's a Small World! My mom really wanted to do it, but the loading and release area of the ride is really really bumpy. ALMOST as bad as Safari. She was okay, but it was still scary. I would ask a CM if they've fixed that before you take your mom on it and risk ruining her back. I know how it is to want your parents to get on all the rides with you, but if her back problems are legit, don't push it, cause a painful back makes an unhappy mommy.  ...wait, you're older than me, right? And your mom is 50? I'm so confused.

Re: Screever's '4 parks one world christmas extravaganza'
Wait a minute you two. I am pushing 53 and do all those rides. You guys make it sound like over 50 should pack it in and go away
 My gosh, I am going to live until I am 113.

Quite the opposite from my mom, my dad just turned 61 and he runs almost 6 miles a day AND goes to the gym. And he only started doing this about 4 years ago. Different strokes for different folks, Dopey!
