:banana: I've just booked our 2009 trip!!! :banana:
We weren't going to go next year with the credit crunch etc etc but I convinced my husband it ws a good idea and that it would probably be our last chance for a trip together before we start trying for babies (and moving house!)
So the trip is 23rd Sept 2009 to 8th Oct (14 nights)- POFQ with free dining and 14 day ultimate ticket for the price of 7!
A bargain!!! (he he)


So excited can't wait, but none of our friends have been so they don't understand, they just say "Your going there again, why?" "Haven't you seen it already?"
But I know you guys will understand and be excited with me!!!
Thanks everyone!!:banana:
 

14 nights at Disney World! Lucky, lucky you. Now that is really something to look forward to. Have fun planning! :) And ignore all the "you're going again?!" comments. I find most of the people that make those comments have special places of their own that they visit repeatedly. We just get those extra special happy feelings and flutters in our hearts being in the most magical and special place on earth! :) My excitement is bubbling over right now. I return in less than 5 weeks now! :)

WoW! congrats...i am happy that you are going there again (see i am also one of them....) but the place is so addictive that you cant resist to go there again and again
 
How wonderful!!! Just ignore those eye-rolls and keep focused on how magical your trip is going to be. DD and I just finished our plans for Jan 09 this week-yes, it's the 4th time for me since last February and I'm so excited!! Have fun as you plan for your trip.:goodvibes :goodvibes

I know it is amazing isn't it. I keep pinching myself to make sure it's going to happen. I had lost thee family members in 2007-my mom died in May, my SIL in August from brain cancer and then my brother(her husband had massive stroke 3 weeks later). My wonderful husband said we need to have something positive in our lives-let's take DD, SIL and twin 3year old gkids February as their Christmas present and to celebrate our anniversary. Then my MIL had massive stroke late April-so the two of us made a 4 day trip to the WDW to regroup. In Sept. we just took our twin grandbabies with us to celebrate my birthday. Three weeks ago, DH says, I'm ready to go back-that's all I needed to hear and I started checking airfare and prices. I'd rather spend the gkids inheritance now while I can be with them to enjoy the magic. My mother always instilled that we need to live each day to the fullest as there are no do overs in life. So, while there was profound sadness in our life there was also laughter and joy.

How awful for you, you must be a very strong person. My sympathies go out to you. But I do agree with your mother and I'm always saying to my husband to live a day at a time and be grateful for everything you have as you don't know what it is until its gone. So I always make sure we kiss goodbye each morning and make sure I tell him I love him lots. The pain of losing someone is truely awful but it's important to try to live your life on with laughter and joy just as the person would of wanted so it sounds like you've been doing the right thing and going to your happy place.
I'm always telling my mum and dad to spend there money while they have it as well (not on me) but on themselves. They have worked all their lifes to have what they have now and I'd rather they enjoyed their time together rather than leaving it to me and my brother. Money will not bring me happiness when they are gone but memories of them having some amazing experiences together will.
After all that thoughtful speech I also want to say woooooooo your going to the happiest place in the world soon!
 
Oh trust me I understand. We've been every year since 2005 and DFi has been many many more times. My family and friends always say the old "why are you going again" bit. And actually just today one of my co-workers rolled his eyes at me when I told him we're leaving next week. He gives me the other old "why waste your money going there" To which I reply "well you know what, it's our hard earned money and we'll spend it how we see fit" ;) But yeah I hear ya. Just don't pay attention to anyone else. They're just jealous :thumbsup2 And think of all the fun you'll have with your future kids :)

Thanks for your thoughts. There are days when I feel like I'm better and then there are other days where it is three steps back and it's been a blessing that we've had our faith to keep us grounded. My mom and I were very close and she was the rock of our family. It was extremely difficult when my dad passed, but I felt like my heart had been ripped out of me when I lost Mom. Fortunately, my siblings and I are extremely close so we've been a strong network for each other and having my twin 4yold gkids has helped. Emily will tell me that Grandma Great is an angel who sits on my shoulder and sings "it's a small world' to us. So I want them to have the same kind of memories of the experiences that we had as kids (i.e. Disneyland) and as long as we are healthy and financially able, we hope to make some of those memories with them. :hug:
 
I think it's AWESOME you're getting to go again! I'm getting married in December, and my fiance' and I want to do as much traveling/vacationing as possible before we have kids! :) And I completely understand why you want to go back to Disney!!! I really don't know if it would ever get old! :)
 
So excited can't wait, but none of our friends have been so they don't understand, they just say "Your going there again, why?" "Haven't you seen it already?"
But I know you guys will understand and be excited with me!!!
Thanks everyone!!:banana:


We went last April and visited all 4 parks on 4 separate days. We did not park hop. Still, we didn't make it completely around ANY of the parks! When we go next April I'm going to make sure we see the things we didn't get to last time! Have a great time on your trip!
