Holy cow!!!You miss a couple of days reading and look what happens!!! I'm struggling to catch up here, and totally comprehend what's going on!
WoW! I'm totally impressed with your WDW planning skills - and on a day you had at root canal, too?!? Congrats on winning the Colorado trip - I hope you guys have a great time there! As far as the SSR for 6 days in a studio - GO FOR IT!!! I'm sure the money/budget thing will work out - it always does somehow. Us DIS'ers just sacrifice stuff in the 'real world' so we can go back to our 'happy place' more often. I hear that all the time - We need the money up front, before we go back to WDW! Yes, hunny, you're right...
Whatever you say, hunny. Don't worry Lauralee, you'll get your way!
Ya know... it really would be a lot cheaper if your DH just stays home...

OH, I wish I could see Tony's face when you present your financing plan! Dontcha just love the FSA's? EXCELLENT thinking (plotting) Lauralee!Imagine him, all high and mighty, thinking he has the upper hand...he told me that I had to find a way to pay for it. The flight, the meals, etc....
Guess what?
I'VE GOT IT!!!!!
Two words Gang....
FLEX
SPENDING
Guess who has $850 coming back from Dependent Care expense reimbursements?
And guess who has a few hundred more coming from Health Care expense reimbursements???
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HA!
Six nights...studio...SSR BAYYYYBYYYYYYY!!!
Oh no, there she goes....
Hi Jo! Flexible Spending Accounts are a nifty little way US employers can deduct money pre-tax and put it into a Health or Dependent Care account. When you, the employee, incur health or dependent care expenses, you can reimburse yourself from those pre-tax accounts. Saves WAY more in taxes than deducting the same espenses at year end!Haven't got a clue what any of that is but
Ok gang...sit down, shut up and hang on!!
First of all, thank you for all being so wonderful as usual...offering to tell DH for me...That should earn you guys a Red Badge of Courage. Helping me decide to do FOUR or SIX days?? That, my friends is and has been so helpful!
Let me run THIS by you...I think I've found a way to pay my way, so to speak! I haven't decided to tell DH or not...I may just let him sweat it out...it could be a fun little game...

All rest is 'small stuff' and we don't sweat the small stuff, right???
Love you guys...you are the BEST!!
Now...do I purchase the DDP??
I just hope that when you propose this to your hubby that the 'YOU KNOW WHAT' doesn't HIT THE FAN!
Wait... are we still in the pre-trip report within the trip report or are we going back to the trip report? I'm so confuzzled...
OOOOOOHHHHHH, YOU'RE GOOD! I think your FLEX SPENDING idea is brilliant!
Your fuzzy, inventive mathematics are awesome!
I'm feelin a bit honored that I am reading a pre trip within a trip. It is a BOGO baby!
I hope I don't go blind!!
I nearly choked on my taquito! 
Yes, please, the suspense is KILLING me!Yoo hoo......
Can we get a Friday update?! I need to know if you've turned Tony around yet!
Ok, a quick update
Tonys on board for the 6 days although his friends still want him to go to Vegas GO, honey really, Im fine with that Nope no Vegas Ah well maybe if I casually drop hints of $2.95 buffets itll catch his attention. I love how he says to his friends, Oh, I gotta go now Ahem WHO HAS to go? Other than me? I HAVE to go I dont care what the rest of you do I know where I have to be and when
I have gotten the calling whether or not anyone else tags along I dont care so much
Ok, so were on for 6 days I have said that. Did I mention I may add another night? To get the cheap flight, ok? You gotta spend it to save it, gang. Take it from me!!
Now I gotta make some ADRs just a few and I think Ill try, once again, to get Michael on a Pirate Cruise
Wish me luck .
LY all, MI!!!!
I seriously think you need to teach a seminar to woman who need to learn they ways of the "force". 
You've got it, and quite frankly, I thought I had it, but I've come to realize, there's always room for improvement! :
I can't help it.
We went to a Mexican restaurant and the waitress asked if I wanted more "Diet C**k" you know, as in rooster.
Yes, please, the suspense is KILLING me!
You know what? You are fantabulous!
) and you know they're expensive to buy 4 (1 each) and it's not much more to buy a dozen so I was explaining this was fuzzy math and Ellie turns round and says no it's not it's yummy math Sorry just had to share whilst I'm patiently waiting for more, come on Lauralee before I eat the whole dozen I was telling my DD's all about your's and Tracy's fuzzy math today. We bought some doughnut's (Krispy Kreme have finally made there way to the UK
Teach her FDM early, Jo!
