Yes, do it! Do it now before you change your mind LOL!
I'm a big believer in doing those seasonal things when you can because you really don't know when you will be back again at that time.
Hee hee.....you were supposed to talk me OUT of it. A post like yours makes me really, really wanna order those tickets!!
(I have been thinking the same thing....."don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today". After all, what if I get hit by a bus, or attacked by a rabid bear? It could happen. It's pretty wild up here in the Canadian north
.)
I really enjoy your reports! For what it's worth, your enthusiasm for Orlando makes me feel normal.
I am really looking forward to HHN. With that said though, I think you should consider going to MNSSHP! We plan on going to both while we are there. As great as HHN may be, there is no candy that I know of!
Like you, I swear I am super frugal in the "real world" but when it comes to vacations, I tend to not hold back as much... It somehow works out in the yearly budget. I gladly skip new cloths and fancy housewares for memories made on vacation
.
Amen, sister
. I'm rather a minimalist at home: I have no desire for a lot of "stuff" (a tad bit of my OCD shining through, I will admit.....I despite clutter). I would never skimp on a "need", but when it comes to a "want"....its mostly vacation related
.
You give me some good food for thought (pardon the pun
). There's candy at MNSSHP. Perhaps that might help sway Steve-o to my side (he's not a big Disney fan).
Ok, for what it's worth, I'm also going to MNSSHIP the night before I leave. I liked it so much, I decided, I'd pay that too, since after all, with my AP, I can come and go at Universal, the party's not that much more money. Plus, I am moving to Disney that day, so the price of the hotel is less than my hotel at Universal. I figure as long as I am in Orlando, I will do both.
Great plan
. I didn't realize you were doing both Disney and Universal on this trip. You're going to be a busy girl!
Hey Gina! We're back from Tennessee! It was a great trip! I may post a trip report--or really an annotated bullet list of what we did--although I'm not sure where. I received a lot of good advice from the fine folks on the Budget board, so I'll probably post it there.
I power skimmed and caught up on your PTR. As you know, I agree with the PP who said you need to visit St Augustine. I stand by ready to assist with meager advice and advanced reconnaissance!
Welcome back!! I am thrilled to hear that you had such a good time in Tennessee
. Feel free to share your trip details here as well.....I, for one, always enjoy hearing about other locations that might become a destination for a future adventure.
When we finally get to schedule St. Augustine into the plans for one of our trips, you can bet your boots I'll be picking your brain as well. The more suggestions, the better!
Hi Gina
You've been busy with your plans while I was away in Orlando. They look really good to me. I'm another VW driver - I really like mine. Although yesterday someone did some serious damage to it in a car park at the local shopping centre and didn't leave their details. That will mean I'll be a few hundred pounds out with my insurance excess. Just when my finances can least afford it.
Trying to remember exact details of Spider-Man and Transformers. They are quite similar. Transformers was noisier but I think Spidey was the more intense. I think if you can do Gringotts and Forbidden Journey you should be alright. I should put a disclaimer in case you find this not to be the case.
Welcome back to you as well!! How was your trip? Pictures, details? (if you care to share with the rest of us, of course!)
So sorry to hear about your car
... that seriously stinks. We had something similar happen to us a few years ago. Came out of the grocery store, and there was a big hole in the front bumper where someone had backed into us with a trailer hitch
. I was beyond peeved....how can someone do that and just drive away?
Gringotts I was fine on (hated the initial drop, but I lived through it) but I've never tried Forbidden Journey, and probably won't. It bothers Steve, so I can only imagine it would do me in completely. I am actually getting pretty excited about giving Spiderman and Transformers a try, though. If I'm correct in what I have gleaned about each so far, there's no physical dropping (just a few that are simulated by the ride vehicle tipping and the on-screen effects?) so I can probably close my eyes through those few moments and enjoy the balance of the experience.

. Declining dollar be darned! We work hard, who knows if we'll be back during the fall again.....all those justifications. I haven't pulled the trigger yet and ordered tickets (but they are still available for our dates.....I checked 
... its one of the things I love most about Universal!
Thank you so much for taking the time to look up those numbers and post them for me!
