Welcome to the group and congrats on your first post. One of many, I'm sure! Where are you staying for your Disneymoon? How exciting! Our honeymoon was in Disney also. We can't wait to go back for our 10th anniversary next year!

Update:
My DS (10) says "85 days until Disney. That's practically tomorrow!"

My DD (17) may or may not live to see Disney. It's up in the air at this point...

That's too funny! I expect my daughter to make the same comments when she is a teenager. I could see that coming out of her mouth. Thankfully, she has another 15 years to go before she gets to 17! LOL.

LOL! At least your kids are graduating soon! My DD14 is already doing her countdown saying she wants those and a build a bear!

haha, so true, but she's already started planning next year's trip when she graduates...

We are staying at the Swan. Wanted to stay at a Disney resort, but this is only the first half of our honeymoon, so trying to save some money. Hopefully this will be the first of many trips to WDW. After WDW, we head to San Francisco and Napa! In some ways I can't wait for the wedding to be over so we can leave for Orlando!

LOL! Is that by her choice or yours? Right now I'm not sure my DD14 will live to see anything in the next day or two let alone Disney. And it's not even misbehaving it's just the attitude towards me like 'why are you even talking to me mom??' Trust, one look and she's like j/k...with this sweet look on her face.

my daughter was a half an inch too short for rides last year....soooo we cheated a tad and bought the "pretty tall" shoes by skechers. they gave her the extra half inch, to inch of height she needed to get on the rides. this year luckily my little shorty has sprouted a few more inches.

My son's Odyssey of the Mind team won their regionals and now they are going to State!
If they win State, they go to World, the week before our Disney trip!

Ugh... I am so happy and proud, but this extra expense is putting a crunch on my Disney budget! LOL... my trip has to be paid off next month!

throw a little pixie dust our way!

it's the whole "I am the TEEN and the world revolves around me" attitude....

Well yesterday was my birthday and what a GREAT day to mark our FIRST day of double-digit dancing!

In just a few more days (the 90-day window) we can book some tours so that will be my next part of planning.

Everything else is just in a waiting mode. I am hoping to purchase maybe a few of our passes/tickets this month depending on our budget. I splurged a bit for my birthday and rewarded myself last night by purchasing a new camera. I am either going to sell off my current Canon Elph (man I LOVE those cameras) or give it to the kids to use on our trip. We'll see.

We are almost a week into our Disney rewards chart at home for the kids. MAN what a difference it makes for ONE kid in particular. My 8yo daughter is usually full of attitude and arguments and can I tell you since we started this reward system she has not argued ONCE, kept her room clean...the whole bit! Holy cow I think we need to do these rewards EVERY day from now on. I have told the kids they will earn a $25 gift card each time they reach 25 check marks....and I think she has earned one every day so far. The boys on the other hand are another story. DS 6 has YET to earn even one and DS 10 has two so far...though I question DH awarding him one of those...I think mostly out of pity.

So I'm pretty sure by the end of this month I'll be awarding my daughter her very first $25 Visa Card. I have to say it will have been worth it though!

Hi Everyone! Name is Megan. Just found the boards and so excited about getting some inside tips for our upcoming trip. My family of 5, plus my mom will be heading to Disney from June 18th through the 25th. We are staying at the Marriott Cypress Harbour. Looks like we will be doing Disney for 5 days and Universal for one. Starting to make dining reservations now and just got tickets for Cirque show! I am so excited, but since this is our first time, I feel like I am venturing into the world of the unknown and I have so many questions. Look forward to enjoying the board and continuing to plan this dream vacation

Usually Yes I do but trying to take it easy this trip. I even have a budget spreadsheet so I can compare costs year to year.
