Barb...first, I'm sorry about your split. Been there done that---no matter how you slice it, it hurts!

Forgive my being forward, but is it financially possible for you to go in December alone, then in April again with the kids?

I mean, if you've promised them their own trip in April, you won't feel too awful guilty going alone. Secondly, you could really use (and deserve) a few adult days. Remember, if you don't take care of you, you'll be of no use to your kids...who need you now more than ever.

When you return with the kids in April, you'll have had more time to save some extra $$$ and of course so will they (disney dollars for allowence, grade incentives, etc.). Plus, you'll be getting even more use out of your annual pass. Save the extra day from the hopper for the future, they never expire.

I'm not sure this is financially doable as I mentioned above, but maybe you can all make a sort of game out of saving for the April trip. You can have a garage sale or have each family member create one meal a week to see who can make a meal for XXX people the cheapest or ask family members for Disney money for Christmas. Saving change is easy too. It's so easy to give up something if it's only temporary and it's for a good cause----The Disney Fund! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
