You probably have to ask a moderator to move your thread - if you can find one.

Your kids are a great age for Disney. Did they enjoy the bunk beds at WL?

 

[Kathymford]

I'm here too! Maybe your PTR/TR will inspire me to do one some day!

Thanks for your help, I will do that.
They loved the cabins at FW. And the cabins were very spacious for us. But FW is so big I was rent a golf cart or have a car there.

In 2011 when we went to WDW for 8 days and then went on the Cruise – Dream for 5 days we said that was going to be our last trip for a few years. We need to start saving some money for me to get a new car. My car is getting old but still going strong so I am hoping I can get a few more years out of her.

Then in May 2012 I won an award at work that is only given out once a year to 50 employees out of 15,000. I was so surprised and excited. Congratulations… with the award here is a $500 travel voucher. Wow how cool….

Now… ummm what to use the voucher on. So my DH and I talked about maybe going on a trip to Vegas, just the two of us. Then we talked about going to Niagara Falls for the weekend, just the two of us. Then we thought Chicago with the family. But nothing was really feeling like that was what we really wanted to do. So I mentioned we could use it towards a flight to Orlando and that was it. We are going home… That is what Disney feels like for us. But my DH and I decided that we were not going to tell the kids this time.

So now on to planning our Disney Vacation, when, and where??
