Take plenty of video's. We took our kids to Disneyland back when our daughter was 5 and watching videos of the trip helped keep it in her memory very vividly.

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.

Ferd, I know that you are already aware that Mrs. Ferd and I have been talking about this on FB. I am sooooo happy for your family! This is truly going to be the vacation of a lifetime for all of you! My niece got to go to Disney/Give Kids The World through Make A Wish several years ago. You have NO idea all the wonderful things that go along with this trip - more surprises than we could even begin to share with you., And I wouldn't tell you everything just because I wouldn't ruin the surprise for you and Mrs. Ferd, as well as your kiddos. Just know, that by the end of this trip, you will have been treated better than you have EVER been treated in your entire lifetime. And you will be humbled more than you can even imagine - all from the kindness of complete strangers. You are gonna LOVE it!
And by the way, do take the videos. But just FYI, my sister told me that if you don't take a video camera with you, it's ok. Because they have them there to loan to you for the whole time you are there. And then before you come home, they will transfer all those videos to DVD for you.

I haven't heard of this org but it sounds identical to Make A Wish. Congrats!
Isn't it amazing how efficient private organizations are that do these types of things! Just imagine if the Feds had a program which attempted to duplicate it and the nightmare both in paperwork and costs that would be involved.
LOL! yes this is very much like Make a Wish. I think on a smaller scale, although Wish with Wings has helped 1100+ kids over 30 years or so.
and I refuse to think about the feds getting involved in something like this!

As far as the video thing goes if you want to travel light there are a lot of compact still cameras today that take great high def video. For our trip to Europe I decided to leave the dedicated video camera at home at took the videos with my Canon SX230HS. Not as good video as a good dedicated video camera but plenty good for a family vacation and so cool not to be burdened down with a big camera. This Canon fit in my pocket and shot 1080p HD and had zoom and autofocus that work in the video function. Oh, and it took great still pics also.

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.
You may already have it covered, but if you'd like to borrow a very portable HD video camera for your trip, let me know. I have one that shoots great videos on an SD card and isn't being used much right now. I'm in Dallas, so we could meet up. Just let me know.

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!
