Hi Debbie!
I had to stop reading for a while. My parents and sister came up with this ridiculous idea of going to Alaska, so I put aside my Disney thoughts (it was hard, especially when the snail mail brought me a PIN

), to try to figure if there was any way to save for Alaska. Pretty much out of my non-budget, especially since it involves airfare or about 500 gallons of gasoline

, but I've always wanted to go there.
Turns out, it was all a ruse. Well, I think it was a ruse, they are still talking about it.

I think DSis must have gotten tired of trying to plan a Disney trip with me. Every time she'd suggest deluxe with the DP, I'd come back with value and QS, and she's been wanting to stay in the Poly for a long time. So in the end, she wound up booking the Poly and wrapping it up for Christmas! I am so excited! I told DD we don't expect a gift like this every year. Or ever again, for that matter, but for now, I should start calling DSis "DDDSis!" She's awesome!
Now I'm back on the boards, no excuse not to be in Disney mode anymore!
So... where is that trip report?
