I wanted to pop in and say that your daughter's story of cancer both broke my heart and melted it with joy! How overjoyed you must be that she is cancer free...I know there are probably no words! You are such a wonderful mom wanting your daughter to go back now that she is not sick. She is so lucky to have such a special mom

It is too bad you had to reschedule your trip to summer. WDW is awful during the summer. That is the only time we have ever been and we honestly don't even know what it will be like when we go in March to not have the awful heat to battle with!! We have always had an amazing time in spite of the heat so I'm sure you will too

Hope you don't have any other changes!!

Thank you so much for stopping by. I am so blessed to be able to go back to Disney with a well and healthy child. Our MAW trip was part of the healing process for both of us so it naturally has become our place to go. We went on her MAW trip last July so even though I am not a big fan of the summer months, I am glad we have experience doing the summer months. I hope you will continue to follow along.

Woohoo!!!

Yeah right!!!

 

[myasma]

Yeah right!!!

I can only hope right? I am an incessant planner so I probably will be walking through the gates of Disney still rearranging my plans.

Sorry you had to move your trip up to July but look at it this way - it means you will get to go Disney sooner! I am glad you got the ADR's that you wanted and that your plans seem to be working out. I will be curious to hear what you think about the autotrain. We live not too far from you (Harrisburg, PA) so it is an easy drive to catch the autotrain in VA.

 

[TokyoDina]

I'm sorry you had to change your plans...but maybe it might be for the best. Even though fall is a much better time to go. I know you all will still have tons of fun!!!! I can't wait to read the TR!

Even though October would have been better, I am starting to feel better about July since we were there last year in July and it feels more like an anniversary trip now. Plus I am extra excited!!! The trip is almost here!!!!!

YEAH for another trip!!!

I had been keeping up on Mya's Caring Bridge site, and was so glad to hear of all of Mya's SUCCESSES!!

Although July is extremely hot, just be sure to take it slow, stay hydrated and HAVE FUN!

So today after several obstacles I paid for the trip. Now I have to save up for transportion and the extras. I am hoping now to possibly buy plane tickets, it all depends on what I can afford but I was able to find a car rental from Disneys airport for under 250 dollars. Way cheap. Also I am thinking of ordering Mya a custom cake from Grand Floridian's bakery for her birthday night and possibly the wishes dessert party if it comes back out this spring. I also scheduled mya a reservation for BBB and just paid off on 5 custom made dresses for her for while we are down there. I also have to reserve a double stroller for us while we are down there.It is alot of extras but I still have 5 months to do this so I'm okay with it. I'm taking lots of pics so when Mya hits those trying teen years I can whip out these pics and remind her just how much I did for her.

Oh haha! She'll love your for it none the less! She'll really apperciate what you did for her as she gets older even if the teen years are hard.

 

[yinyanggirls]

The little things really add up! I am so excited that we're getting closer, but getting nervous because I haven't figured out all the finances yet. Yikes!

Hopefully she will, I was a terror when I was a teenanger and frankly I'm not looking forward to the payback.

Do they ever!! You want your kids to experience Disney to the Max but it takes quite a bit of money. So worth it but my head hasn't stopped spinning from trying to figure out a way to squezze some savings on this trip.

Speaking of which, I was able to apply the summer discounts on room only for 25% and now am that much closer to the trip being fully paid off!! I'm also trying to find some cheap plane tickets but so far no luck. Does anyone know where I can find any affordable tickets?

I usually go on www.kayak.com and see what I can come up with. It prices out different times and such for you. And if you live within so many miles of a few different airports it can price those out for you!
