Hello! My name is Mandy and I'm a newbie!

I started a thread a couple days ago, but wanted to pop over here and introduce myself properly!

I took a few trips to SDC as a kid with my family, and my hubby and I went 9 years ago for our first anniversary. Now the kiddos have come along, 2 boys, ages 5 & 2. We took a trip up in December for 2 days. It was my first time seeing SDC at  Christmas. The boys had a big time. Their favorite rides were the Happy Frogs and the Flooded Mine. We bought season passes for this year and have 4-5 trips planned. The first one is opening day! We are getting excited!

Thanks for the tip! We are staying at Stonybrook in March, and the hubs and I (kid free!) are staying at the Keeter Center for our anniversary in April, but I will def. look into Eagle's Lodge for our trip in June. It will be great to have a pool and fridge!

I think you will like Eagle's Lodge.  We stayed there several times last season and really enjoyed it.  FYI  the First floor is really the top..  Just so you know when you pick a room.

Hi, everyone. I have really enjoyed all the posts on this site. My family is going to SDC the first weekend in June. This will be the first time for my husband and kids - I went with my family some time in the mid-70's, as a gradeschool child. I remember the tilted mansion, the stagecoach ride, and an outside show (not sure exactly which it was). I LOVE amusement parks and I am really excited to see SDC again. Does anyone know if the aforementioned weekend will be crowded? It is between festivals. I'm hoping my family loves SDC - I want to convert our tickets to season passes if they do.
