Just wanted to say that this is the neatest place!
I found out a couple of weeks ago that I have to be in JAX in September, and decided "while I'm there, why don't I get DH and kids to meet me down there and we'll go to DisneyWorld...." My kids are 8 and 5, and have never been. (I know, I know, but I've always reasoned that they weren't OLD enough)
True to my normal fashion, I started doing a little research, and found this place. All I can say is "WOW!" I have learned sooooo much here. You guys are incredible--simply incredible!
As a cash flow strategist (DH's translation: professional cheapo :rotfl: ), I am famous for finding the most efficient and least expensive way to get to where I am going. And what an enabler this has all been. Not that there is going to be enough time for me to get as efficient and budget-minded as some of you are, but I figure that I have saved at least 1/3 of what we would have spent, and found out a way to increase the stay two days, while I was at it. That's music to my ears (um, Mickey ears :earsboy: ??). Not only that, I have a pretty good clue of where to go, and when to go there.
And I never even began to think there was so much more out there to do! Private tours? Character breakfasts? Scavenger hunts? Didn't have any of that last time I went...or I never knew about it last time I visited, a long, long time ago.
Anyway, thanks for all of your help, and keep up the good work.
In the meanwhile, time permitting, I'll try to see if I can talk some of you through your cash flow problems. Annual Disney vacations, eh? That's quite a challenge on most people's budget.
See you around!
Mary
