Crazy Right???

[Cdn Gal]

So... Even though my DH had a good Christmas, we were disappointed b/c after years of trying we thought that we were preggo. Huge disappointment when it didn't happen...so to get ourselves out of the slump we are planning a Disney vacation for a weekend, yes a weekend. Crazy right?? We will leave on a Friday night, then come back late Monday night bc it is Family Day Weekend. I figure that people go to Vegas for the weekend, why not Disney?? It is actually going to be a cheap vacation since our flights are covered with reward points, and we are staying at our timeshare. Only expense is Disney tickets and car rental, which we also have a 1 free day to use up as well. But it is crazy right??

I was thinking about doing the very same thing for the very same weekend with my family! BUt considering we are already going March 4-12 I thought going a month before for just a weekend was overkill. This said, it was a way cheaper vacation than anything else I was looking at like Bahamas, Cancun, etc. and we already have annual passes so I wouldn't need to buy park tickets.

Enjoy the weekend at the World!

Have a great time! Our problem with going for a long weekend from Halifax is that we have very limited direct flights, otherwise we are travelling about 8 hours each way, eating up a lot of valuable holiday time.

It's funny you mention it being a cheap vacation, I've been looking for a week away in February, pricing out mostly all-inclusives. For Saturday departures at 4 1/2 star resorts we're looking at $3000-$3700 per couple, but I found flights to Orlando, leaving Saturday returning Sunday, 8 nights at All-Star Sports, 7 day park hoppers and including Free Dining, Quick Service for under $2400. This was paying for everything, no redeeming reward points for anything. Disney is not in the plans for us until the fall but it certainly made for a good discussion.

I think it's a great idea, a weekend away is always good.
In 2007 I came back from WDW with some extra magic (we are taking them on their first Disney trip the week before you go!)

Have an amazing trip, if I see Tinkerbell I'll ask her to send some of her extra special pixie dust your way!

One of my bosses (who is now 72 and yes, still working) reminds me almost daily:

"Life is not a dress rehearsal, Gina. You only have one chance to make it a good one. Don't pass up an opportunity to live it to the fullest".

So nope, not crazy. Go and enjoy. And I'm sorry about your disappointing news .

NO, not crazy. I have done that too - kids had a PA day and I got a great discount with Jet Blue so we took off for a 3 day vacation. It was the best - no parks just pool, food and shopping.

Have fun and sending you some good vibes.
