DH and I (well really just me) have begun planning our first family trip to WDW next December. OF course I'm really excited and can't wait (neither can DH and DS#1). Our plan is to go in Dec 2005 and Oct 2006 to take advantage of our planned purchase of APs.
Well, besides the Disney planning I've been working really hard at work on a very important project and I've had to sacrifice alot of time with my family in the process. My boss has decided to reward me with some $$$ to take a break and a little vacation. We are already planning to go to the Outer Banks the week of Labor Day and that has already been paid for (by us) but I'm wondering if we should take the family to WDW for a few days this fall. DH isn't too keen on the idea of going to WDW 3 times in 3 years: and DS#2 is only 2.5 yrs (and a wild man at that!) I've been thinking of maybe taking DS#1 (4.5yrs) for a long weekend to Disney. (DH said he would be ok with that but he was hoping to do something as well!) Searches on expedia give me packages that would be around $600/$700 for air and hotel for 2. We could take the whole family for about $1000 (not including passes.) We would be leaving from Pittsburgh.
The only option for a family vacation that we could come up with is taking the kids to Niagara Falls for a few days but it just doesn't sound like Disney
I feel guilty about considering something that won't include the whole family but we are going on our family vacation in a little under 2 weeks. Plus, I've caught the Disney bug - BAD!!!! So I just can't decide what to do!!!
BTW, the $$$ is a little less than $2,000 and I can't really spend any of my own $$$ right now so what I get from my boss would have to cover everything!
Edited to add: I have to use the money this year so I can't put it towards next year's vacation
What should I do?????
