I don't normally make posts like this, but right now I'm waaaay to happy to contain myself! My family had planned a trip to Disney, which for awhile looked like we would have had to cancel. However, just recently we got some good news, and now our tip is happening again!
It started with our last trip. We have a small family (I'm the only child), so my parents let me take 3 of my friends. We had such a great time, that when we came home, we instantly planned for another trip in 2 years time. However, between those two years, something unpredictable happened...the economy tanked. When that happened my friend's (which happen to be twins) hit some financial trouble, so they had to pull out of the trip. We had planned the trip splitting the cost 6 ways, and so they left us with a hotel suit to split only 4 ways. The trip was expensive enough to begin with, but now it looked like none of us could afford it, especially with tuition payments due. We cancelled the trip unofficially, but never cancelled our room reservation.
So anyway...on to the good news! Over the summer, I applied for a few grants and scholorships in hopes of earning some more money for school. To our supprise, I was accepted for almost all of them! My family had put aside enough money to send me to school (once again...I'm an only child, lol) and now I'm pretty much getting a free ride this year. The new question was...what do we do with the leftover money? We decided to try and book a room for the three of us, but the hotel is booked for the Christmas holiday. We decided "why not stay in the suit we already reserved?" Then we decided..."if the three of us are staying in the suit for 7, why not have some more guests?" So we re-invited my friends, asking them only for the cost of thier tickets. Now we can all go to Disney, and still pay for school! Since we even have room to sleep one more, were even bringing one more! Myself, my parents, and 4 of my closest friends! How could this get any better!? 123 more days!
Sorry for the wall o text...but I'm really, really excited!
