1st Ever PreTrip! *You just got home from Iraq, and you wanna go to Disney?!*

[megveg]

This morning I booked the Grand Floridian photo shoot for me and DBF im excited!

I'm debating on getting my park tix before we leave or waiting till I get to SOG. If I wait I'll be saving $23 dollars but im soworried about things and planning that I might just order them ahead just to be like OKAY i have them.

I already paid for my flights, room and tix are next,once tix are set,its just Food, photoshoot and van fromthe airport to pay for!

Should I wait, or get them now?

If I wait, Ill be getting the Stars and Stripes ticket (which i dont fully understand) and if I get them ahead it will be a DISNEY MYW Hopper w/ Water parks &more. I kinda wanna get it ahead so I get another cute card like the ticket for the P&PP,as opposed to the Tyvek paper one.

Im also debating on getting WDW gift cards to pay for dinner. I want to get 1 for TTS, 1 for our OHana breakfast and one for spending money, hmmmmm I wonder if I can pay for the photoshoot with wdw gift cards, that wouldve VERY convienent!

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Good news good news!
D's triphome from Iraq was pushed back, but we got an update saying he left for Mississippi yesterday and should be in MA by the end of the week! Finallyyyyy

Im really really torn over this whole ticket thing, and to add to it, Prom is May 16th, I dont have a dress or tickets ($150) for DBF and I.

I really wanna go to my senior prom, and then again, I'd like to have my vacation paid for. So I dont know if I should just ask my parents for the prom stuff as disney money, or go to prom, and just get the rest of my disney money somewhere else (currently waiting to fill out paper work for a new job so I havent started yet and I dont know if between now and when i go will be enough for the rest)

my parents really want me to go to prom, and so do i but i just dont know

Help me do I go to my prom and get the rest for Disney? or do I use the prom money for Disney (the rest of my trip would be paid for if I did)


urgggggggggg my moms pushing me to order a dress ( i had one but returned it because i didnt know if i was going to go)


this vacation shouldnt cause me stressssss

If there's any way you can get to the prom I would do that. You'll have those memories with your friends for a lifetime. I mean, this is 12 years in the making! If it just won't work then I'd see what post-prom stuff you can do without actually going to the prom. We had a post-prom breakfast at the school that everyone was invited to whether you promed or not.

I'm not sure what the cheaper tickets are either at the SOG. If there is a way to et cheaper tickets I would wait and get them there. I mean that's $20 more you can spend somewhere else. I woudln't waste that just to have the tickets ahead of time. As long as you have the money set aside you should be good.

There is a way, my parents are kinda pushing me to go but my frugalness is like "All this money for a dress and a dance that could be spent on a character breakfast or matching mouse ears for the DBF and I (him in mouse ears would be adorable ). Im going to look for a cheaper dress and then see if I can find shoes lying around my house (theyre really only for the picture, i usually wear flip flops after or no shoes at all) and I really just want one Big picture of DBF And I (cuz if youve read above we really dont have any lol) so an 8x10 for my house and his house, and wallets for me, him, and our friends.

I think Im going to wait on tickets. Its 23 dollars more to get them ahead but that 23 is almost our GF photoshoot paid off so I think Im going to wait.

I think its very nice! I would go to your prom if you could, I almost didn't want to go to mine but in the end I went and had a wonderful time.

Wait and get the tickets there and save the money. Ya know if you aren't going to really hop around the parks you could just not get the hoppers and save some more money. Just a thought though.

Well the tickets Id be getting if I wait are the Stars and Stripes passes and it already had hopping and the Water parks option (its not seperate like the disney ones its included and it doesnt reduce the price if you get rid of any of the options) so 291 for the S&S pass, or 314 for the Disney MYW Hopper with Water parks are my options.

I think Im going to order that dress today, its cute and if I have something else to dress up for Im set

 

[Cass_Eh]

Well in that case keep the hopping if its included.

Exactly have a great time!

Love the dress!! If you're trying to save money on a dress, is there any cheaper stores you can find one? You'll only wear the dress a few times at most, so no need to spend a fortune on it!

Oh AWESOME!!! Why can't I ever find good deals like that?!

 

[megveg]

D IS IN THE US! He landed in Mississippi last night! He should be home by the end of the week/early next week!

We're all so excited Ds almost almost home. Which means Disney is almost almost here!

So I cant order the dress I posted because it takes 8 weeks (its special order) Im really thinking about skipping prom because its too close to find a dress, and its so much effort.

I guess ill have to wait till Im married to go all out

 

[megveg]

To make up for it I'm going to post TONS of pictures from my trip in 05!

Woooo! I haven't updated because I've been in Philly/New Jersey since Friday! The boy and I drove down to Philly Saturday morning earrrrrly, got there around 11:30, he skated at Love Park all day then we went to another skate park in a mall! It was hugeeeeeeeeeeee! After that, we weren't planning on getting a hotel, but we did because we wanted a bed to sleep in not a car haha, and a shower. So after the hotel we woke up, got gas and breakfast and drove to Giants Stadium for this huge concert (kinda like an updated woodstock) and we stayed till about 7:30 (last year when we went we stayed till the end and didn't get home till WICKED late) so we got to my house around 2am. It was a GREAT GREAT GREAT weekend. Im so tired, and SO sore but it was worth it
