This will be our first trip to DL :party: and I'm having trouble finding some of the information I've been looking for. So, naturally, I'm looking to the great resource that is Intercot! :rocks: Here are my questions:
1. We're booked at the Candy Cane Inn, which has great reviews here and every where else I've looked. It will be just me and my kids (11 and 8). I know we can walk to/from the park, but I'm wondering about safety. Is the area well travelled and well lit?
2. Is the World of Color dinner package (or whatever it's called) worth it? I've read that you have to stand for the show and would like to get as close to the front as possible. I'm only 5'2", DD is about 46" even though she's almost 9 and my DS is almost my height. Not a bunch of giants if you know what I mean. Anyway, I figured this may be the best we to get a front or near front spot. Any comments or suggestions on watching the show are very welcome.
3. When do the schedules for the shows come out? As of now, I can only see the hours through 6/7, but there's nothing listed for fireworks, parades, etc.
4. We'll be there for my 40th (a few weeks early). Do they give out birthday buttons like they do at WDW? Normally, I don't make a big deal about my birthday, but it's a big one and I'd like to celebrate as much as possible with my kids.
Any other first time in the Land advice is very, very much welcome. Maybe it's because the parks are smaller, but there just doesn't seem to be as much information out there as there is for the World.
Thanks to all of my Intercot friends, you guys are the best!
