So in personal news..
The budget took a hit today. My sweet boy cat peed in the house a few times which is highly unusual for him so we went to the vet. He has a partial blockage in his urethra and had to stay for the day to get a catheter and be flushed out. Now we switch him to a stone dissolving prescription diet. He already ate a very expensive food but apparently male cats are prone to stones and he needs something with less ash and more liquid.
In the end..$500.00.
It could have been very serious and I am VERY grateful he is ok. I will need to cut some corners somewhere to get back in budget for the summer but it will be ok. I am thinking of ditching the car and using Disney transportation. There's at least 200-250 that I had built into my vacation budget.
It's not an expense we were expecting so it would have to come out of savings which I'd rather not do. Ditching the car would just cut it in half and I'd feel better about that. And my wee little friend is on the mend. That is the important part!
. And poor pigletto........that's a heck of a vet bill 
. But totally worth it. Can't see our babies suffer, even if when it impacts the bottom line of our vacations. .
. He's home and looking pretty good. He won't touch the new food
. He's jumpy, which is understandable. I always feel so bad that they don't know why you've stuffed them in a carrier and poked and prodded and hurt them at the vets office.
Thanks guys
My female cat is running around him in circles and sniffing him, he's hissing at her, she's trying to eat his food, he's trying to eat her food. It's a cat circus in the pigletto household.
Aw, poor little fella
Glad he's on the mend

) I purchased pet health insurance for my baby (my pup) Toby. I use PetPlan. I have to say it is a HUGE gift from the Lord to me. I was so pleased at how easy the claim form was to fill out and how fast my check for bills came. I hope i'm not being nosy but I know it helps me!
Okay, I think I've officially brainwashed my kids!! My youngest came home from school yesterday and said they had to pick a famous person to do a biography on - and he picked Walt Disney!! So we spent our evening at the library getting books about Walt - and spent all morning, over breakfast, tellling fun facts about him, Disney movies and the parks. What better way to pass my time

I am so happy that your little fury family members are doing ok! I had a scare with my puppy and I know how awful it is. I'm so glad they found what was wrong and could begin to help your little one heal. If it helps (I hope it does
I can see the need for ADR's. I can not see why they need to be done 180 days in advance. I think honestly it's part of a strategy to get people to lock into a Disney vacation choice. If you hear the hype and the "Oh no! You won't get anything if you don't book waaayyyy in advance!!" stuff, you are more likely to book way ahead of time, make payments regularly and stay committed to a Disney trip IMO. They could easily make people make their ADR's even 30 days ahead of time.. but look at all those months people have time to make another vacation choice, or not save up the money and decide not to go. I think it's clever marketing really.

Thank you for all of the well wishes everyone!
The pet insurance is a very good idea. We talked last night about putting another category in the budget just for pet emergencies, but maybe insurance is the way to go! I'll look into it today.
We are hoping to do this for the first time this year! We are planning on getting it done in Japan for myself and our two girls. Not sure if we will buy something to put it in. I've seen Cinderalla coach cages, but I was thinking more along the lines of a cross cage. Unless I see something I really fall in love with, we will probably just keep them loose and figure it out later!
