Magical Beginnings/Great Prices and Can't Go! It's Killing Me!

[tommygirl79]

Our family went to WDW in January (DH, me and 2 DDs). We had a 7 day blast!!! I knew about the free dining plan thing they did last year but we were DYING to go back in January since crowds are sooo low and DD5 will be starting kindergarten this fall. Well, I cannot believe the prices they have for this fall along with the Magical Beginnings stuff with the Character Meal, Extra Hours for little Ones, Wiggles and Doodlebops. It's crazy how inexpensive they've made it. The problem is that DH has no more vacation time so we just can't go and it's KILLING me.

I just can't believe we could go for that long for under $1000 for all the hotel, food and tickets. The worst thing is my mom and dad have decided to take a trip by themselves this fall (which I totally support as they've never gone just as a couple) so that knocks out a girls only trip with her. It's just killing me. I really say this in jest, but really would love to go.

Just gotta keep in mind that many people would love to go even once in one year, but I've got the Disney bug.

Anybody sympathize????

I soooo know where you are comming from! We took our first trip to WDW this past Jan. and I am so longing to go again. I can't stay away from these boards even though reading all the posts makes me miss Disney all the more. When the free dinning came out again, I had to figure out how much it would cost for us to go again even though I already knew we couldn't afford it yet. Oh, and my almost 3 yr. old insists he has enough money to go to Disneyland. At least that's good for a few laughs!

Well, I am really going to mess with your mind--why not take just the kids and not DH since he is the one who doesn't have vacation available? Would he go for this? Obviously you would have to pace yourself a little differently on your own with the kiddos, but that could be good esp since you will be dealing with heat in Sept that you didn't have in Jan. Plus it will be even less $$ since you won't have that other adult ticket.
