Hi everybody,
i don't know if you noticed my ticker but it has changed. originally i was taking the kids on Jan 5th next year for 2 weeks staying at my grandparent's timeshare . After careful consideration, I thought it was wrong to take my kids out of school for 2 weeks, i have done it before, but they are getting a little older, and the schools take such a dim view on parents doing this, to be honest i didn't want to try and defend why my children need another disney trip
It also would have had us in WDW for DS 4th birthday which while wonderful for me and him, would have been very upsetting for daddy (we separated last year to anyone that didn't know) he asked me very nicely to always have the children around for their birthdays and if the situation was reversed i would be devastated.
Anyway, to cut my ramblings short, i have decided to go early. My kids finish school on 13th December, nice and early, so I am going to leave on 12th (1 day off is better than 2 weeks) and come back on 21st, giving us 9 nights, and back in time for Xmas, this should keep everyone happy. I am booking 5 nights at Pop, then 4 nights at Wilderness Lodge, i can't wait to see it decked out for Xmas, but I couldn't afford all 9 nights there. Flights are coming out nicely with Virgin, using miles, at £1080 for the 4 of us.
The best bit is I'm not going to tell my kids.....nothing.....not a word
they can carry on thinking that we are going after Xmas, and will be so excited when instead of going to school, they are going to WDW!!
I have seen varied reactions on children before but I just know that my kids are going to love this one.
In conclusion, xmas decorations and events without xmas crowds, fairly cheap rates, big xmas present suprise for kids, everybody happy, I AM SO EXCITED
