Disney will be getting significantly less $ from us in Jan. We usually just book the entire trip with their travel company. This year we opted out of the dinning, bought our park tickets through a broker and used AAA to get our room. If we had used the travel company this would have cost us about $900 more. We have taken out a Disney credit card to build up points for the kids spending money. They gave us a $40. gift card just to sign up between this and the $ we get from our spending this is all the kids will get for souvenirs. The credit card gets paid off when the interest starts in December so this way they (Disney) will not get any extra. Our next trip whenever that will be will be paid for with our AA miles and as I said when that happens is up in the air. I normally have a trip in the planning before we go on our current trip. This will not happen this time. I truly hope the economy gets better as my husbands salary is tied to it but I think we have a LONG road to travel before that happens
