Ahhhh. . . . Summertime . . .life is good . . . 
no school routines, no homework to help with, so what else is there to do? Why not go to WDW? Actually, it was the furthest thing from my mind because in my mind we were finally going to see WDWs holiday decorations after Thanksgiving this year, but then, Free Dining came along . . . 
It was June 22nd when I realized what a great deal wed be getting if we booked a trip now . . .
we had flight credit from our cancelled April trip and after checking with Delta, our flights would only be costing us a whopping $5.20 per person, 
so I booked that almost instantly . . .who wouldnt? Then I dialed that magical 800 number, you know the one, its been etched in my brain for the last seven years . . .I have that number memorized like it was a family member or a best friend . . .WDW Travel Company, this is _________, how can I help you before she can even finish I can feel the adrenaline pumping . . . 
HI! I blurt out . . .Can you please check to see if the Contemporary Resort is available with code _____? She replied yes, it is, can I book that for you? 
I reply with no hesitation YES! Im almost in full disbelief as she tells me that the Contemporary Resort, for 4 people (2 Adults/2 Teens) with MYW package and free dining would come to $2369.00 . . .WHAT? I almost lost it . . .The wheels are spinning in my head and all along Im trying to comprehend why its so cheap . . .that is our cheapest WDW family vacation yet. 
Making our ADRs was the hardest thing to do since we had so many options to choose from. We usually have large breakfasts, skip lunch, then have a counter service dinner when we are there, so having to actually sit down and figure it all out was pretty overwhelming. I figured with this free dining plan wed switch between TS dinners and TS breakfasts and after checking out the snacks that you can get I am assuming we will be stuffed on a daily basis. Thank god we are only staying 5 nights! We are going to be waddling our way around the parks.
As the days start dwindling down we begin to realize that our trip is almost upon us.
Packing lists are a must, that one quick trip to Wal-mart to pick up odds and ends . . .The excitement is starting to hit us . . . 
rain or no rain . . .crowds or no crowds . . .we are going to have a blast!! Forget work, its time to play . . .5 Days to go . . .We are almost on our way!!
Its the final countdown . . . .To Be Continued . . .
See ya all on the 29th!
