need dates!!

So tonight the husband and I have been burning up the websites for planning, i did find out from a friend that the school calendar should come out in January..which means we can have a set date and BOOK! We did price flights and are leaning that way, but we will see. I priced the vacation again and it went up over $600, same dates, same resort, same dining plan, park hopper SAME! So i hope we can get a date so when the next sale starts we can book! We are also talking about not waiting for fall break, but i really dont think its a good idea to pull a (then 7th grader) out for a week. We are getting ready to ask the kids about how they feel about flying but not saying anything about where, kinda round about way..lol

a year and counting!

about three weeks ago my husband and I decided what we thought would be a carribean cruise vacation year...is now turned into of what we hope will be a Disney year! After much thinking we have decided the kids are growing up way to fast..so WE ARE GOING BACK TO DISNEY! YAY!

Our first family trip to Disney was in December 2009, it was alot of planning (6 months to be exact) but worth every minute..it was by far the best thing we have ever done for our kids! it has been almost 11 months since we went and it is one year before we go back...here is the fun part, we have not told the boys yet, nor have we booked it. I want to be able to document the whole planning process on here. ( i am thinking that will be fun and helpful ?) The boys were 10 and 4 last trip, and we went NON-STOP the entire time, this time i want to "slow down and smell the mickey shaped roses" lol. We did stay at the All-Star Movies Resort (the boys are huge Toy Story fans) and we also had the deluxe meal plan. We have priced out next vacation, and plan on booking after Christmas, we are also thinking about flying this time. Lots of decisions must be made and all the ups and downs will be posted!
more magic to come!
