Wife and I decided that it's been too long since we last went to Disney, so we're aiming for a Feb visit. I know we're in for a hefty bit of sticker shock when we see the total price, given it's been 6 years since our last visit.

In the past we've always booked directly with Disney... but I'm considering Magical Journeys... anything I should consider other than that? Everyone on the podcast has always been positive about them, but they're a sponsor after all.

Thought on the dining plans: Are they worth it? I kind of feel that any "deal" Disney gives works out in their favour, not ours. We generally do quick-service breakfast and lunch, and a proper sit-down for supper.

Any other big changes in the experience we should be aware of?

Also, in a moment of foolishness we asked my 21 year old son if he wanted to go, figuring the answer would be "no, vacation with my parents... ew" but he was all into the idea. LOL It's bound to be fun, he hasn't been since he was 6.
