My friends recently decided to start saving for their first family trip to WDW, scheduled for Feb/06. Yesterday we all decided they should come with us when we celebrate our childrens' birthdays in Oct/Nov instead! I am so excited! I had wanted to suggest it before, but I didn't want to intrude on their family trip. We each have 10 yr old daughters, and 8 yr old sons, who have been best friends since they were toddlers. I am in charge of planning, and we have the dates nailed down ( my kids' birthdays are 15 days apart, so we wanted to do a trip in between to celebrate both), and I just booked the rental car ( $236.22 USD for Avis onsite at Sanford) which is subject to change as new rates and codes become availabe. Not a bad rate at all for nearly 9 days ( 8 days/8 hrs).
Our trip will be a little different from theirs', as they may want to do SW and/or KSC as well. We went to SW last time, and will skip it this time in order to concentrate on the 3 disney parks we didn't do last time ( in favour of SW/IOA/US).
I suspect we will buy the 10 day non-expiry premium magic plus to save 1/2 the days for next time, and we will also buy the annual pass for US/IOA (15 mths for $105 thru AAA South). Half of our budget will be on tickets, but attractions for the next trip ( tentatively scheduled for Dec/06. SHHHH, don't tell my husband!) will be paid for!
