OK, so I am new here, and this is my first attempt at a pre/trip report.
We, me, my DD11 and DS8 will be off on our big adventure April 21 to May 5.
I grew up in Canada and have visted Orlando twice, once ca 1980 and again ca 1984. Bit of a gap here in my travels, and it is very different being the parent in organising the trip than being the kid along for the ride.
We live near Zurich, Switzerland, hence the Odessy nature of this vacation and the crazy amount of planning which has gone into it. The kids are good travelers though and used to the transatlantic flights as we usually spend a couple weeks in Canada visiting family every summer, though we have never done a hotel trip of this length.
School here is a bit differnt from North America as well. The kids have 5 terms of 7-10 weeks withh 2 week holidays between each term, and a 5 week break in the summer.
