I was sooooo excited about making our first trip to WDW in January; our first trip away from our kids (just a couples only, romantic getaway for us); staying at SSR; checking out all the other DVC resorts; and surprising my DH with all this as his Christmas gift.
But, my DH lost his job on Tuesday (cut backs due to low sales) and I'm a stay at home mom, so I don't bring in any income.
Now, I'm having a really hard time. I don't know if I should tell him about it or if I should still keep it a secret and surprise him with it for his Christmas gift?
Part of me says we shouldn't go because we could have serious money issues, job issues, and everything else that goes along with losing your livelihood.
The other part of me says that I should keep it as a secret and just go forward with everything as planned because:
1. The money is already spent on the trip for our studio at SSR (rented a reservation) and for our flight. We can't get the money back - we could postpone I suppose, but why? Would it really make a difference if we went in May instead of January? Not really since as I said, the money is already spent.
2. Maybe now is the time that we'll need this little 4 night trip the most. It gives us a little something to look forward to.
I just hate this feeling of insecurity. It really takes the joy out of things that should be fun - like a nice Christmas for the kids, and our special trip to SSR. Bummer.
