Do ya'll know we are actually thinking of not going to WDW this time around. Tickets are just eating into our budget and we are back to that issue with the Pre-K again.

 

[TheTXTaylors5]

we have to fly home

I meant to mention before, is there any way you can fly out on Friday instead of Saturday? I'd hate for you to miss the cruise if your flight is late. Just an idea.

I don't think you'd be the only one not going to WDW too. I definitely would not want your daughter to lose her spot at school. You have a different situation than most people.

nope can't happen cause my mom doesn't get off of work until 6:00 on fridays so that would put us at the DFW airport around 10:00 pm can't get a direct flight at that hour so we will be flying out at 7:00 that saturday morning.

We'll keep our fingers crossed for you on a quick and safe flight! I know you are travelling with your sons too. So, it shouldn't be too long to keep them "entertained". We are driving from TX to FL.

We've looked into the Nick Hotel for a future Orlando stay. We may actually go to Universal next year. I know it is blasphemy to speak like that on a Disney site.

I love WDW, and I know the kids will too, but there's more in Florida than just ... never mind, I don't want to get kicked off the cruise

Did I mention that we are now under a TOTAL water ban? Brown is the new green as far as grass is concerned.
