[franandaj]

You really are getting closer! I just realized my cruise is only about 6 weeks away and I am going to be so busy between now and then! I don't know when I'm going to get everything done.

At least you finished your TR!

I know it's WDW but I'm feeling the HM vibe. What I am not feeling is my autocorrect trying to HM to H&M. I don't even like H&M.

Now only 5 weeks. ​

They didn't cut it because I was afraid it would get mealy. Well, it was mealy anyway.

Thats the worst. Next time bring a mini cooler.​

At least you finished your TR!

Yes, Jill, you did. I'm lagging all over and you're on it! ​

Finally it feels real ya know? SW came out with amazing flights like $681 for the five of us to fly. I really debated it but after the numbers were crunched along with Chloe saying she loves the drive, I decided not to book the flights. It would have cost about $500 more to fly which I know doesn't sound like a lot but during the holidays, it really is. I don't find flying anymore relaxing truth be told.​

 

[Pinkocto]

$500 is a lot to me! Especially around the holidays. Gas isn't that much over there? I've priced out driving to WDW and it would be about $200-$250 round trip. But it would also take two full days to get there and back.

121 Days!!!!! ​

I'd rather drive to Vegas than fly, so I know what you mean. You guys have the drive down and if it saves $500 that's $500! Fran and I look at things in terms of fancy meals and other things we like. Smaller $ figures are hands of Blackjack and larger figures are meals that we could have out.

How many driving hours are you from WDW? You can flights for around the same price as gas right? It's a no brainer to fly with one or two people.

Yeah, we never drove from So Cal either to Vegas. And I agree, $500 is $500 and that's a lot of money. That's food for our Disney days right there or about unless we decide to really do Napa or Steakhouse 55. I know we'll be hitting up The Hearthstone Lounge nightly. I just love that lounge.

Have you heard about the tour of the Disneyland Hotel? It's free like the Art of the Craft at the GCH but its about the DLH. Looks interesting.




Glad I kept the decision to drive because Michael wants to add on a few days at the beginning of the trip. We'll go out a few days early and stay with my friend for 3 nights, do the beach, visit my dad, etc...That way when were at Disney, we're at Disney. Not sure what we'll do that 5th day as we were planning 4 park days. I'm thinking we'll have a full on resort day. We just love the GCV.

I will just take Kody! I know that is her preference! Loren on the other hand doesn't want to go on our next trip.

Really? Why not? But I'm all about the mom/daughter idea. ​

His excuse is that he is "too tall" and that it isn't fun because of his height. I think that it is because my mom got sick the day we got home from our last trip. That is part of the reason Kacy and I are planning another trip. We just need to have a make up trip. With all that happened right after the trip we "need" another one.

I'll have to go on FB and see how tall he is. You SO deserve a make-up trip and I am glad you're getting it. ​

About 15 hours. Yes, the only time it would save anything would be if I wanted to rent a car or took more people.

15 is long for straight through for sure. I'd fly too! We're about 10.5 so it's right at that point where you can do it but much moire would send me over the edge. ​

Woot woot, good point! ​

Girl - You are going to be to 100 in NO TIME!

Yay me! Almost double digits. ​
