If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be? Honestly, I'm at that anywhere-warm-and-sunny-in-the-winter-months stage. I'm not too picky.

Hello:
My name is Teri and I am a WAHM, travel agent. I have 2 kids - Kellie age 6, Megan age 4. We are frequent travelers to Walt Disney World. I am hoping to cruise and go to Hawaii with the kiddos in the next couple of years.
My kids are pretty good when it comes to traveling as they have been doing it their entire lives!! But I do find the extra "gear" to be one of the biggest challenges of traveling with kids as well as the disruption of schedules that can make for some very interesting days.
I look forward to getting to know everyone and would be happy to help with providing tips and advice for traveling to WDW with kids.
Thanks so much!
Teri
