I'm happy with our new dining plans and budget, I'm much happier with where we are going to eat. Now I'm contemplating ordering some water and other snacky things from garden grocer but I'm not in love with the idea of a $40 minimum order.
In January 2010 I was at MK EMHs and it was a zoo too but then again we went to the park in the middle of the day which probably wasn't the smartest idea. I'm really excited to see AK at night in the dark, it will be fun.
I feel like I sometimes never stay late enough to benefit from the low crowds at EMHs, I don't know. I guess I need to really concentrate on taking breaks and napping so we can stay up later.I think the new plans sound great. And it looks like you'll be saving money without the DP. I know the totals were about the same, but your OOP cost included tips, so there's a good saving right there.
On the EMHs.... I've never done them, but I am considering it for this trip. I've been thinking that since Disney has stopped running the monorail on EMH evenings, that must mean that the crowds are too low to make it worth the cost. To me, that says EMHs might be a good idea, but what do I know? I REALLY want to do eve. EMHs at AK at least once though so I can see it at night. It's the only park I have never seen all lit up.
I think you've got a good plan going! You should feel good about it and stop worrying. And since all of your ADRs are at resorts, you are free to change your park days as needed without having to shift everything around. Worst case scenario.... you get there and see the EMHs days are too crowded, you can just switch to plan B and keep on going!
Those are almost my exact dates!I need to go back and catch up but I just looked at our tickers and I think we are there at the same time!!!!
I booked today for us! 1/15-22, tomorrow is ADR day, right? I've got a lot of work ahead of me tonight!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are 1/15 - 1/20! Details lady!! What is going on here?? And yes, ADR day is tomorrow!

Are your friends joining you or is just the 5 of you?? I'm so excited that we could meet up!! Especially since we really don't live that far away from each other.Well, I changed my ressie twice already this afternoon! LOL!! But we're now staying at All Star Music family suites. 1/15-1/22. I have NO idea on EMH etc, so I've got my work cut out for me tonight! Gotta get these boys to bed quick tonight! We haven't booked air but it's SO cheap out of Boston right now, so gotta work on DH tonight!!!! Hope we can cross paths!
We are pretty much going to the parks on their EMHs days, just seemed to work out that way.

We have done the last two trips with them and are hoping for family time, hope that sounds okay!! And not too selfish!
Well, I hope this doesn't sound as bad on "paper" as it does in my head but, I'm hoping that it's just the 5 of us. We aren't 100% sure that that is the case, but should know for sure, soon.
I'll be working tonight on it and will keep you posted! Did you your flight? Are you going out of Logan? We are thinking of doing the 6a flight on Jetblue on the 15th! I'm excited, too, that we can meet up! YAY!!!!!!!!
You are a budgeting expert!
You can visit NYC and help me with my budget. It's a mess.
I LOVE my BFF and her family (they are my family!) but just hoping to have a 5 of us kind of trip, but once you start traveling with people, they kind of expect it to always happen, you know? Either way, it will be fab, but just kind of hoping to be just with my boys this time around!
Fingers crossed!! 
How funny will it be if we're on the same flight?! I priced it today! $215 RT from Boston to MCO on Jetblue, just as an FYI. Cheap (compared to our last trips...)!!
Thanks LL, glad it came across exactly how I meant it!
Off to check out EMH and everything now! I'm SOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, you forced me to pull open the JetBlue website.How funny will it be if we're on the same flight?! I priced it today! $215 RT from Boston to MCO on Jetblue, just as an FYI. Cheap (compared to our last trips...)!!

That price would put me $70 under my flight budget. Hmmmm.....I'm going to have to think on that. Those little tvs are very appealing to me. Aren't you getting APs?? You should totally have a birthday trip!!$215 you say? For my bday??? Interesting
The flight just has to be non stop, the whole landing and taking off thing is not my favorite part.YES!!!!!!! Jetblue non stop!!!!!!!!!!!

We also got a really good deal on a nonstop flight through JetBlue and I'm looking at them for a possible flight to NC in a few months. Love JetBlue!
I remember you talking about Yapta.com, I guess I really need to look into that. I'm still going to wait to see what Southwest offers but Jetblue is a high possibility.LL, ever heard of Yapta.com? I talked about it on my last TR, you have to check it out! You book your trip, say on Jetblue, register your flight on Yapta.com, it will track the price of your ticket, if it goes down, you call Jetblue and they credit you! It's free, so easy and we saved $279 on our last trip and I just got a free ticket for us to use on our next trip!
I usually read but I found my last few flights dragging by in time and I really don't want that this time around, I just want to close my eyes and wake up in Disney.I love the little TV's on JetBlue! Last year, I watched Wall-E on my iPod for pretty much the entire flight down, but all the other times I have made a lot of use of the little TV's. Makes the time go by quickly.
Yay for a successful ADR booking day!!!!
