Hello! As my title states I have been outvoted on the family vacation this year. As if this is not hard enough, let's be superclose to WDW but not visit any of the parks! Seriously!?
The story goes like this - all of the fam wants to do "other things" in Florida. I thought for sure once free dining was offered I could surely entice them my way, right!? Didn't happen. So now I am embracing the plan and starting to plan our "non-Disney" vacation.
About us:
Me - Ann Marie 40 in July social worker by day; mother,wife and compulsive planner 24/7. We live in South Dakota (yes -people actually live here)
Jeff - DH age 44 police officer and husband and father extraordinare
Trevor - DS 18 just graduated but still willing to vacation with the family as long as we are paying!
Caitlyn and Courtney -twin DDs just turned 15 and started their first jobs. They'll stop hitting me up for money now, right?
We are driving to Florida in September. Yes I did say driving! 24 hours of driving... are we crazy? Yes I am sure we are but we proven it can be done with driving trips to DC, Disneyland, and Texas. Plus now we have more eligible drivers so it will hopefully be painless
Next up is our tentative plans - input is greatly appreciated!
