One bit of advice: pace yourselves. Trying to cram too much into one week, especially in the summer, will turn fun into unfun real fast.
yea. Mrs. Ferd and I have been talking about that. it will be impossible to do everything so we are just going to hit the highlights.
The BIGGEST deal will actually be going to Kennedy Space Center. Jack LOVES rockets so that will be number 1 on the list. Disney will fall in after that.

Ferd, I would disagree with CC1's advice a bit. You need to take hundreds of hours of high quality HD video -after all, this video will be watched for the rest of your life!
I suggest one of these:
For that real extra professional feel, you also need it to be stabilized while carrying.
RW, I know the value of high quality HD video as we do Wedding and Event Videography. I have two Sony V1U 3 chip high def cameras that do a great job. However the advances that have been made are incredible. My little Canon SX230HS does video in 1080p HD at 30fps. The quality is amazingly good.
Oh, and we actually do have a Glidecam 4000HD and Flycam arm and vest stabilizer similar to your pic that we use in the Wedding Videography biz!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

We have a nice HD video camera that is pretty small... and Mrs Ferd is addicted to her camera so we will have plenty of this stuff...
on another note, one of the "perks" is they give you a card when you get there, then when you walk around Disney, any time you see one of the disney photograpers, you just give them your card. they put it in their camera and take your picture then give it back.
at the end of the trip you get your photos plus you get a CD with them all loaded!

Awesome! We were in Orlando for the first time last September (just my wife and myself) but we went to Universal instead of Disney, saving Disney for when our granddaughters are a little older and we can take them. I have been to Disneyland in CA a bunch of times though and Disney parks are great.

Bishop, the great thing about going with an organization like Ferd's family is with is that they will have a tag to wear and they won't have to wait in any lines at all! To the front of the line they will go every single time! Cool, eh?
Ferd, one thing my sister said to tell you is that it is very possible that you might even want to plan one day where you don't even leave Give Kids the World because there are soooooooooooooo many things to do right there! Check it out. See what you think.
I am so, so happy that you are getting to do this. It has seriously been the highlight of Cara's whole life so far. I'm thinking it will be the same for your boys and all your family. Have a GREAT time.

Ferd, this is exciting news for y'all. To be honest, reading your post was as if I was listening to one of those stories a caller calls into the local radio station around Christmastime, tells of a very trying situation or an unfortunate circumstance, and gets told they're going on a special vacation.
Y'all have fun and be safe!
(BTW, I owe you a text just to say "hey, hope all's well. Consider this that text. )
