| Why it almost never was :( Well, silly me, it seems I have introduced myself, the premise for this trip, my trip details, and yet I never explained why this truely THE LITTLE TRIP THAT COULD... and why IT ALMOST NEVER WAS I didn't do justice to those of you who haven't traveled through 3 other PTRs with me! So sorry!  I briefly mentioned our plans for this year thus far. The Spring trips-- April or May was my dilema for a very long time. Spring Break (since its not Easter week) or Memorial Day. I wanted to see Pirate and Princess Party AND Flower and Garden Fest. I got a little greedy and wanted to do alllllll these expensive extras, put down my deposit, then started calculating up all the money I would still have to spend.... let me just say WHOOAAAA NELLY! It was like $3000 or something like that for this "little" 5 night trip. This was when I realized we could do a whole lot more for $1500 each, and decided Disneyland it was, got quotes from a Travel Agent, was really excited and got my refund from the WDW trip. I decided I wanted to do the Hollywood/DL Adventure by Disney and then add a few days at DLR. I was REALLY excited. Rob wasn't excited at all, because of the whole tour thing and I didn't care. The we started talking and pricing Disney Cruises, where were in the same price range. We decided on a Land and Sea trip and were happy on that.  Well, then Rob's hours got cut... next thing I knew Rob wasn't working at all and suddenly our mini vacation fund was going towards rent and car payments.  Time passed, a month or so, you can basically insert my first post here as this is what I was going through and feeling then, now Rob has finally found a job. I was supportive, helpful, encouraging, and loving through his rough patch looking for work and this is what I want back-- some kind of trip to Disney. Rob suggested summer but I wanted to wait so I wouldn't feel a money crunch. And here we are with trip planning that I just can't stop and a vacation coming that almost never happened at all! Next Up: :::::Pre Trip Purchases 8 months in Advance!!??!:::::

| Love, love, love the new sig!!! Isn't Rob fabulous?? Also, loving the updates. So glad you are back in "Disney Mode" and we get updates more frequently. I honestly thought about Rob yesterday when we were waiting for our cable guy for 3 hours!! Couple of questions - Are you not going to do the KTTK tour this time? I really think you should . . . . . Also, are you using Suzy? And what is this about Pre Trip purchases already?????

Oh and BTW, I am using Suzy she is FABULOUS!!!! Quote:
Just wanted to do a fly by with a mini-update (AGAIN)... Looks like TouringPlan.com's crowd calendar is calling for MVMCP on the Friday before I get to WDW and the Sunday we are leaving. Looks like no party to look forward to AGAIN... But I wouldn't be me without a backup plan so it looks like I will be chosing a tour and like I mentioned yesterday I am pretty interested in the Segway Tour... Not sure if Rob will go for the helmets but there are a couple other tours I am interested in as well- What do you guys think??

| Your plans are looking great! If you can swing the Tuesday night flight in, I highly recommend it. We did that for our short weekend trip in September and I totally feel it was the best thing we did to make the most of our time there. We haven't taken the Segway Tour yet because DS isn't quite old enough yet, but I've heard absolutely wonderful things about it! We're hoping to get to WDW for our Christmas break this year and since DS will be turning 16 in September, this is one of the things on our list. I hope Rob won't pass up the opportunity to experience it!

| Mel - Have you looked into the Yultide Tour? Not sure when it starts but that is one I would love to do and it sounded even better after reading about it in Cheryl's TR...maybe a nice festive tour might fit in nicely....
