Oh you have no idea! DH has his annual conference in Orlando again this May - BUT it's over Mothers Day - that is a mandatory work day for me, and our store's inventory is the 2 days following Mothers Day - also mandatory work days. I know it's just a PT job and I'm there for fun, but I really do love it, and I love the people I work with & respect them enough not to throw a hissy fit to have those days off. It would come down to having to quit a job I love just to go to Disney. Hmmmm....would be a no brainer for most (quit the job!) but I just can't do it.
I also have PrincessAlways & TiggerFan4Me's dates in the back of my head - if there's any way I could convince DH (and my kids - my poor kids haven't gone on the last TWO Disney trips I took!) that I could slip away for 4 days, I'd do it.
There's also the fact that in 2006 I took just DS8. In 2002 I took just DS11 - so technically it's DS11's turn to go alone with mom. DS8 would be absolutely devastated & the guilt would kill me if I went alone with DS11....now if I can convince DS8 to stay home with daddy then I'm SO there, probably November after football ends (God forbid an 11-yr old miss football playoffs!) But that is on the back burner. FAR back on the back burner!
We could go as a family of 4. That is my last resort - DH is not a Disney person & makes us all miserable. Enough said.
I could take both boys alone. Not sure I want too. They are complete opposites, do not get along most of the time - plus DS11 is big enough to go on the thrill rides, but not old enough to ride alone - DS8 hates thrill rides pus isn't tall enough - but isn't old enough to wait alone if I ride with DS11....oh the complications! Plus DS11 gets motion sick on everything, I don't want that to put a damper on DS8. If I have to take DS11 back to the room every day, that's not fair to DS8.
If that's not bad enough I have 3 days left on a non-expiring ticket for me, enough Starwood points for 2 free nights at The Dolphin, and plenty of frequent flier miles that the family could fly free...
Can you tell I've had a LOT of coffee today?!?!
