Hi everyone!!
My name is Corrine and it has been a long time since I have been on the Dis but I am very excited about being back and being able to share the plans for my next trip.
As you can see that I am a mom with four kids but only one of them is going. That is right, only one. I have done this before. I took my eldest son in 2011 and my daughter in 2013. I was supposed to take my son in 2015 but I could not swing it financially. I couldn't swing it this year either but I have a plan in mind to go next May but more about that later.
So lets start with the cast of characters.
First of all there is me.
My name is Corrine and I am a 42 year old mom. I am currently between jobs but have a lead with helping a mom with her 2 disabled sons. I love reading, writing, singing, watching movies, and of course everything Disney. I have been a Disney fanatic for all my life but it really kicked in when I started planing our first trip in 2009 for my eldest sons Make a Wish trip. I also host a Disney facebook page and just started a blog.
Next is my son Aidan.
He is currently 8 but he will be 9 when we go. I love him very much but he is a handful. He had ADHD and sensory issues. I am a little worried about how he will be with all the stimulation the parks provide but I am sure we will figure it out before then. He loves Star Wars, Mickey Mouse, and all the Disney shows.
Right now we are planning on Going at the end of May in 2017. I am not sure where we will stay right now. Aidan would like to stay at the Pirate room but it depends on how much money I save. Just might end up staying at Pop. I would love to stay at AoA but I don't think he would be into staying in the Little Mermaid rooms.
So now that we have the basics down let me tell you a little about how I plan on paying for this trip. Not one cent is going to come out pocket. (or at least that is the plan). I plan on paying for the entire trip using apps, doing surveys, and selling items I make or don't need anymore. My goal is to save $3000. It is good stepping off point for a 7 day stay with base tickets, the regular dining plan, airplane tickets, spending money, and maybe a pirate make over if he wants one.
I even started a blog about my journey doing this. I got the idea when someone posted on a Facebook page about getting over $300 in Disney Gift Card with the Walmart Savings Catcher. I thought why not do a whole trip using these apps.
That is it for now. Until later stay kind and Dream Disney!!!
