Minnie Moms is a special feature on Growing Up Disney. If you’ve been reading us for a while, you are familiar with our team posts where Ridge, DisneyDad and I discuss a particular topic. I’ve assembled a team of moms to give you multiple points of view and help answer your questions regarding planning your Walt Disney World vacation. These ladies are all from different places, with different numbers and ages of children, and different Disney experiences. I hope you find these articles entertaining and informative. Please don't hesitate to ask questions! --Amy
