Ok, Sorry I checked out there for a little bit. But, I'm so glad you got all the ADRs you wanted and when you wanted them. That's exciting! when we went in 2009 my kids loved T-Rex and OHana's. We were going to do Free Dining and the kids wanted to try 1900 Park Fair and Crystal Palace, but they opted for more days instead. I know your kids will have a blast and you'll come back with great pictures for us!
 
We have dates for travel and 2 of our 7 need to fly. SW has gone from 155 to 160 each way per person.. I didn't have the funds to book the airfare when we booked the trip ..it's gone up a little since then. I still don't have the funds but I could use the business CC and pay it back in a month.

What, historically, are the chances the fares will drop? Or worse..go up more?

Sept 17-27 even potentially the 16th they could fly in..help!
 
So I booked the flights..now I have 3 weeks to pay the business back..ahh

I am actually rather stressed right now.. I have 4 short months to pay the trip itself off and I just feel like I can't do..
 
Hey :wave: Popping in from the POFQ thread. Just finished your Ponchos TR and had to come over to this one. SO glad to see DS got his head on straight and is now seeing "happy girl" - I also was hoping this throughout your other TR!

Glad to see you got your tix booked. Try not to stress too much (of course, I am too so who am I to give advice? LOL) over paying for it all. I have a feeling it will work out for both of us in the end. :goodvibes

What day have you decided on for MNSSHP?

I'm kinda hitting the panic button too! We have a garage sale on Saturday and I found a TON of junk in my house that I didn't even know was there! Pray that other people want to pay $$ for my junk.

This is the cutest idea ever! I might have to borrow this idea and use it for my niece, nephew, and sister in law's Mom (She is probably the most excited in the family!) Our dates are so close to yours! Sooooo excited!!

Hope your little one is feeling better!
