day dreaming and planning

[pixidustmom]

So I have a bad habit of day dreaming of different ways to head back to WDW. I really would love to have my family and I do the Disney Cruise and WDW anytime between Feb-May 2011. The only thing is the money. I know it's not really in our reach now but if we start now it will not be so bad. But not all my family is on board. DH says he doesn't have any desire to return to WDW for many years (just went with him and grandson in Dec). He isn't a big fan as you can tell My DD's are older. They want to do the cruise more than WDW. So they aren't really backing me up. My youngest and her boyfriend said they would though as they know I want to and he hasn't been. So I was thinking fine we do the cruise and then my DH oldest DD and her boyfriend can fly back home. I can stay with grandson, youngest DD and her boyfriend. So this is one idea that may or may not ever play out.
Next idea is, going with my youngest sis and her mom and my grandson to WDW and not do the cruise. My family can take off and drive to Ca. and do Magic Mtn that they all would rather do. My sister is a Disney fan and her mom well she just likes to travel.lol I sent them an email with the idea but the bad part is my sis is a teacher. She would have to either go during Spring Break or first week of Summer. She is new with the school so I am sure she couldn't get that much time off. I want a week there. I would rather go on off peak times but a girl can wait for her sis to get the time.
So do any of you do this? Sit and plan all kinds of ways to go back?

I love going to WDW! I know we are going in May of 2011. I keep looking at prices and guessing at how much it will cost. I keep looking at the different resorts too. Yesterday, I looked at a resort. Completely convinced myself I want to stay there. Then started talking to Boyfriend and talked myself right out of it. We will stay at our fave resort. One thing I am doing though is some rewards programs to help pay for this trip. I know it will be super expensive. We go usually every year. We are not going this year, so next year will be DD's very first trip. We both have a problem with the word no on vacation so I know we will spend a small fortune on souvenirs for her. DS is 13, will be 15 on this trip, and is given his own spending money. We still end up spending a fortune on him too. That Lego Store gets us every time. LOL
Don't feel bad. You are not alone.

I too have an awards card. Just got in last Nov and I love seeing things add up but I want more to add up. I wish I could pay my rent with it. I would have lots added up then.lol I have my change jar and always pay over so I have change to add. If I go (heck I know I will go somehow) I'll wait for some deals. I keep seeing some good ones for this year and I want to book it now.lol
