Hmmm - what I'd do with that projector . . . We have been in the process of building a new home for our retirement, which we hope to have completed within the next week or so, just in time for my wife, myself, our son, our daughter, our son-in-law, and our two granddaughters to spend our...

I don't know if this will simplify or complicate your planning, but in 2009, Disney is offering free admission to any (one) Disney theme park to anyone who visits on their birthday.
