I think you'll have a good time, even if you did Epcot on Saturday instead. Honestly, I think you'll see a huge difference in the crowds if you do, which might even make your DH comfortable coming back again. I really do think that MK will be a madhouse though, even just for walking around, just my professional assessment. If you were my client, and knew you had a DH who had been reluctant to go because of crowds, I was strongly advise against it. Plus, Illuminations is a pretty memorable way to end a trip too.Thank you for coming over! *Tiara Club!* I debated regarding the crowds for MK, but I ALWAYS do MK on the last day. I'm worried that I might leave heartbroken if I didn't get to see Wishes on my last night. However, since that will be day 3 of Disney for DH, he will likely have toxic crowd syndrome by Saturday anyways. I was not planning on hopper passes for this trip, but on one of my solo days I would do MK and get my solo must do's out of my system. So for Saturday I am envisioning Cinnamon Rolls breakfast in MK, letting DH do a bit of wandering, and I think he will head back to the resort for the afternoon. We would meet up for supper and Wishes, and he will likely go back to the hotel while I stay as long as I hold up. DH doesn't enjoy rides, so we wouldn't be trapped in line for much of the day anyways, so I'm hoping that might be a good compromise. Who am I kidding - compromise?!? Lol, maybe, just maybe I'll compromise and let him pick one ride!
It's a club, not a contest, you nerd!And, since I had was forced to take some selfies for a contest *cough cough*, here is my official introductory Princess photo:

THIS! I do it all the time!When in doubt, ALWAYS leave one day earlier than planned![]()

I've got a few choice words for your DH...DH does not look impressed....
Well, we have a new and not improved budget for the trip...
Hub's flight, conference fees, 2 night stay in Orlando, cab fare back and forth to conference: $1271
Using airmiles for my flight: $165
POP - 8 nights - $1249.76 (no discount, and I'm just estimating as they won't let me go ahead into January 2016)
Park Passes -- $771.60
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Subtotal: $3458
Minus funding of $1200
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Total $2258
Plus subsitute teacher costs of $800+
Total $3058
Now I'm the one that does not look impressed....
So, basically Cinderella is telling me that she has currently run out of pixie dust at the moment. It really doesn't work budget wise for DH to basically have a week of wages lost for a conference that he doesn't want to go to for a trip that we can take another time. But, on the bright side, spring break is looking like a better option. I'd rather go in March/April anyways because I love the hotter weather. And it might be a solo trip, depending on RL. Sigh, it was fun having a ticker and a plan for a little while!![]()
