We are a very lucky family and have gone to Disney every year since our oldest, Roseanna was a baby---usually taking part of our tax money to do so. Last year we decided to skip ***GASP*** our Disney trip and did some work on our house that needed to be done. We were considering skipping this coming year also to pay off our last credit card and buy a new car since both of ours are starting to have problems BUT (here comes thesad and happy part.......)
We decided to go to Disney this year for a few reasons. the BIGGEST one being that we got word that my husband will be deploying for his 4th time. This will be his second trip to Afghanistan and he is slated to leave 2/13. We always try to do a BIG family trip before each deployment. Second my inlaws bought DVC 2 years ago and have been wanting us to stay with them so our costs will be less--no hotel and low cost on food since we plan to cook in a good bit to save some cash. Thrid we are going to try to wait on the cars until he gets back so that way we can save some money for a larger down payment when he gets back (since he make more overseas.)
So while I HATE HATE that my hubby will be leaving yet again---although my words can not express the great pride I feel for what he does we are sooooo EXCITED to be going back to Disney. We both share the love of Disney equally and are excited to be staying at a DVC (we are value people).
So......... Animal Kingdom Lodge here we come in September!!!!!
