Yeah, I know it's a little early to be dancing. But after deciding after our 2000 trip that we were done with Disney (not because of any bad experience or anything, just the kids were getting older, there was other stuff we wanted to do, it was expensive and far away...), DH had to go on business in January and we all came along for 3 days. Well, of course that got us all excited about it again.
Since we returned, we've discussed the possibility of maybe, someday, going back and spending a good, longer time there - actually doing more than sprinting from main attraction to main attraction. We've been researching and decided it would involve driving from Michigan with our family of 5, staying offsite, and going when the kids were off school.
So after lots of planning, discussing, thinking, debating - last night we finally booked a house for 15 days in June of 2006! We're staying in Emerald Island for much less than anywhere we could stay at Disney (only even remotely cheap option being POR). We've always stayed on site, but since we'll get the 10 day passes, think we can live without EMH for the convenience of a private pool, gameroom, kitchen, separate bedrooms for the kids, etc! I paid my deposit so it's real now. WE'RE GOING!!!!! Figured out the days last night and I think we're at 395 so not anytime soon, but I can start getting excited at least. YIPPEE!!
