    I have been to every Disney park except Shanghai, been a member of Disney Vacation Club since 93 and visited every DVC resort, been on four (soon to be five) Disney Cruises, written published articles on parks around the world, planned several multi-generational trips to WDW including one with three infants younger than 6 months.

    I am 0 for 8 in applying for Disney Moms Panel.

    Next year, no Mr. Nice Guy.
