WOW! I love flying! I wish that we could fly but since we are only a 8 hour drive it is soooo much cheaper to drive for us. Espically since there is 5 of us! ;D
I hope you guys have the best time!

Since you guys are flying then I guess you will be using the Magical Express. That is awesome too! The one time that we did fly (when DH took me for our 15th anniv.) I loved going straight from the plane to the bus. No waiting on luggage. They take you straight to your resort and all you have to do is check in and head straight to the park. Your lugguage will be in your room when you come in from the park!
It seems like there will be a lot of us here on the board that will be there around the same time!

I am using the Magical Express... has anyone had any issues with using it or does it make things 100% smoother?

We used Magical Express in 2009. I loved it! It made things alot smoother, but my only issue was that I didn't receive my luggage tags in the mail before our trip (even though we booked 6 months in advance) and so I still had to go wait 30 mins for our luggage at the baggage claim. But there were little TV screens that played a video intro on the way to the resort so my kids weren't asking over and over "Are we there yet?" But on your return trip you check your bags at the resort if your airline is on the list that allows that and you don't have to worry about it at the airport. I loved it!

Wow! ok, that's good to know... I will keep my eyes open for the tags and check on whether my airline (AirTran) participates. Thanks!

AirTran does participate and the Magical Express makes things so much smoother!
