I am lucky, and most of the visit will be using Disney Vacation Club points! I've 4 different groups of friends coming to join me. DH and I have planned to do this together, but he decided to work an extra year, and has set his retirement date after the first quarter of 2013.
In the future, I will not stay at Disney, but will look for something nearby that will allow Belle to be there with me. When the Floridian Family members want to visit me, I can get a room for a time over weekends, but for most of the time, I want my Belle with me.
You're younger and your time will come!
