I'm looking for an eagle project, and i want it to be away from the usual. I don't want it to be planting a flower garden, painting a wall, building a fence, etc. Does anybody have any ideas that are unique? Please share your experiences of eagle projects you've participated in or have seen or observed. Thank you.

What do I need to know before my Disney World vacation?
scrabblenu
I need a Disney expert to give me some advice. Our family is going on vacation to Disney and I'm wondering what we need to know before we get there. We're going with 3 kids, 6,5, and 9 months, and also my parents, ages 65 and 53. None of us have ever been before. We'll be there for 7 full days (plus 1 day each for arrival and departure). We have 6 days allotted to visit 4 Disney parks, and one day for Sea World. We did not get the park hopper option, so I was thinking the trip would go something like this: 2 days MK, 2 days MGM, 1 day Animal Kingdom, 1 day Epcot, 1 day Sea World.
My specific questions are:
1. Will my children enjoy Epcot enough at this age to spend an entire day there?
2. Is 2 days enough to see the Magic Kingdom?
3. What kind of crowds will we find near the end of September?
4. How much money should we expect to spend on food, etc...each day?
5. Is there any other advice you have for a family of first-timers?
Everything is already booked, we are going in just over two weeks. We are staying in a condo, off-site.
Answer
I am assuming that you are renting a car, but if you are not use Mears Transportation services. You call them 24 hours before you need the service and they will provide roundtrip service. 407-423-5566. They are one of the only legit shuttle companies in Orlando. Even Disney uses them for their shuttles.
If you get the dining plan you will save tons of money on food because the dining plan basically pays fro lunch & dinner. If you are not getting the dining plan, do a few things: 1) bring snacks into the park, especially with the little ones, this will prevent them from getting hungry and from whining about all the yummy snacks around them; 2) Schedule at least 1 (during the whole trip) if not more character meals, they will be worth the price. Check www.allears.net to see information about them all; 3) Try and schedule 1-2 non-character meals. 4) Since you have a condo, try making some dinners or lunches to bring with you.
If you get the plan here are some tips: To utilize your plan properly and get the most out of it: Use the counter service meal for lunch, the table for dinner (try and go with the more expensive restaurants) and if you can use the snacks to buy cereal and milk in the morning or a snack during the day.
Depending on if you eat sit-down meals or counter meals will depend on how much you spend. www.allears.net has menus and prices for all restaurants. This will help you plan about how much to bring based on where you eat. Donât forget to book your sit-down and character meals before you go. 407-WDW-DINE is the phone number to call to make reservations.
In your luggage, pack bottles of water and bring 1 bottle per person to the park. Water in Disney costs a lot, so if you bring a bottle per person you can fill it up at water fountains. Plus you can use the empty suitcase at the end of the trip to bring home souvenirs. If you canât lose all that luggage space, by a case or two of water when you get down there.
With the ages of the people you re going with donât be afraid to sit down and take a break. There are benches and loads of other cooling stations. Remember, the temperature in September is usually around 95 degrees. Also it tends to shower many days. Go to Target and go to the camping section. They have emergency ponchos that are $0.89 each. Buy a bunch and you can use and reuse or throw out.
Start saving your change. Use this as the souvenir fund or another fund that you will need money for. You will be surprised how fast your change adds up. We have been saving since March and we have $80 and we almost never use cash!
One great way to keep the kids from whining is to set a limit. Tell them they can get a certain amount of souvenirs for the trip, or that they have a certain amount of money. Each time they buy something, give them a little homemade receipt that tells them how much money/items they have left. Not only will this cut down on the âmommy, I wantâsâ but it will teach them (even though they are young) about managing things. If you keep track of how much they spend and just tell them how much they have it will be easier on them.
Epcot can be fun for kids if you make it! Get an Epcot Kidco Funstop. It is a passport and they get stamps from each country! Epcot is a great place to teach them about things such as space, under the sea, respecting the environment and respecting and embracing other cultures. Check out these two articles as well.

With all that time allotted, you should be able to get stuff done. Use allears.net and Disney.com to make a generalized itinerary. You can create custom maps for you and your family. Sit down with your kids and go over the rides that they have at each park (maybe break this up into 1 park/night). Have them pick out there 5 favorite rides. Make these your MUST doâs. Meaning you have to get those rides done and if you have time after the Must-do rides, then go on others. This way you know what your kids really want to ride so they wonât be disappointed when the time comes. It will also get them excited.
I have lots of tips and tricks on ways to get them excited and little things to do. So e-mail me if you have any questions!
Also, the end of September isn't too crazy as most people still do not want to take the kids out of school. Disney has 5 different seasons for 2007. They are Value Season (when there are the least crowds), regular season, summer season, peak season, and holiday season. based on these seasons you can tell when the crowds are heaviest.
Value season: Jan 1-Feb14, Aug 5-Oct 3, Nov 25-Dec 19
Regular season: April 15-May 23, Oct 4-Nov 24
Summer Season: May 24-Aug 4
Peak Season: Feb 15-April 14
Holiday Season: Dec 20-Dec 31
You are goign durng value season (as are we) so the crowds will be lighter than usual.
