Depends on what state you live in. I hear one state, AZ maybe, is going to dispute the Pluto Not a Planet theory.

Depends on what you define "planet" as.

Do dwarf-planets count?

Yeah this has been discussed a lot recently. I thought I heard something about New Mexico or some state deciding they were going to stay with the nine planet theory regardless.

Some jupiters moons are big enough to be a planet. Like others says...it all depends on what defines a planet.

As defined by the International Astronomical Union, a planet is:

(1) A planet is a celestial body that (a) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape1, and (b) is in orbit around a star, and is neither a star nor a satellite of a planet.2

(2) We distinguish between the eight classical planets discovered before 1900, which move in nearly circular orbits close to the ecliptic plane, and other planetary objects in orbit around the Sun. All of these other objects are smaller than Mercury. We recognize that Ceres is a planet by the above scientific definition. For historical reasons, one may choose to distinguish Ceres from the classical planets by referring to it as a "dwarf planet."3

(3) We recognize Pluto to be a planet by the above scientific definition, as are one or more recently discovered large Trans-Neptunian Objects. In contrast to the classical planets, these objects typically have highly inclined orbits with large eccentricities and orbital periods in excess of 200 years. We designate this category of planetary objects, of which Pluto is the prototype, as a new class that we call "plutons".

(4) All non-planet objects orbiting the Sun shall be referred to collectively as "Small Solar System Bodies".4
