Trip almost paid off!!

Woo-hoo!! We are going to WDW January 31-Feb7th!

We got the 7 nights for 4 deal...plus the gift card. I paid $400 last night, and now we only have $200 left to pay!

I'm SO excited. Every trip we've planned has been cancelled, so this one is a HUGE deal for me!

Anyway...just wanted to celebrate! :cool1:

Congratulations Annie!

Does this mean EVERY trip? Will this be your kids first trip to Disneyworld?

I consider this to be our first trip to WDW (we did go when now-ds6 was a year old - not that he remembers, so really our first time as a family - a whole family)...but we HAVE been to DisneyLAND...but we've planned probably five or six to WDW in the last several years that all had to be cancelled. DH has leave approved already...and with only $200 left to pay...if we have to take PBJ sandwiches everyday - that's fine with me!!

Thank you! I told dh that if we had to cancel for some reason that I would cry and cry...he said, don't worry, we'll make it work.

All we have to do is make sure we have $$ for gas - we're now living about 6-7 hours away...so we can drive it down no problem (we used to drive from Seattle to LA for Disneyland 20+ hour drive one way)

I understand. We're about a 20 hour drive from WDW and my DS9 doesn't want to fly. We'll be driving in March. I'm glad gas prices are down...hope they stay that way!

I hope they stay down too! It's definitely better than our trip to DL in July - I paid $5.00/gallon at a place in Northern California *eek*

But isn't a 20 hour drive worth it for Disney :upsidedow

$5 per gallon, OUCH!

Yes, Disney is definitely worth the drive. We're not hard-core, drive all night til you get there, travelers. I have a couple of extra days off work for travel. We'll take 2 and a half days to get there (leaving at 3:30 when the kids get out of school the Friday before spring break)...and 2 ten hour days to get back. :car:
