We just bought into DVC so I know I'll get to go probably twice each year!!

Nope, we have not redone the bathroom this year- but ya know what- my kids will only be this young once. I'll put the new jacuzzi bath in when they're in the pre-teen I-wouldn't-be-caught-dead-with-my-parents stage.

marcyinPA said:They make about 3X the money we do, and they have no kids. They just choose to spend their money differently than we do (they have the huge house, luxury cars, tons of, and packages from QVC daily....). We go without all that "fluff" and make family vacations a priority. To each his own!
Try not to let comments bother you. Only you know what is right for your family and your budget.
DaisyD said:We do the same thing as you but go on two trips a year totally at least 30 days. We fly on one trip and drive on the other. We don't have a budget to live with when we travel. Even with paying about $8000 a year on Disney trips we still feel it is cheaper then going to the ocean for the same amount of time. I pay more for an oceanfront room at a Holiday Inn then I do for a room at the Poly! LOL~
dlrhine said:This is exactly what we tell family. We are from PA and the big place to vaction when you are from this area is Ocean City MD...and a room there in the middle of summer is more than Poly off season, plus the money I'll drop on the board walk is what I'd spend on Hopper passes. So I consider Disney a deal

I gave up trying to explain it (APs cover two vacations, AP discounts, DDE card etc.). People really don't want to hear how affordable it can be.
Amen!! We go to Ocean City on our "off-season" (off from Disney that is) and I've often thought to myself "Why are we doing this? It costs more to go to O.C. than it does to go to Disney!!" (of course, this doesn't include airfare...the only thing that makes OC affordable for us is that we drive there).dlrhine said:This is exactly what we tell family.
