It’s been a long time comin’. Last summer we thought about our vacation options. Beach? Mountains? Lake? Long weekend? Whole week? Budget???
There wasn’t anything we were totally over the top about doing. And given where we live, all of the above options are within about a 3-5 hour drive that we can do in a weekend. So we began planning ahead to this year’s family vacation.
What if we didn’t take a vacation for one year and instead, saved for a big ole vacation in 2008? I mean, the mother of all vacations! Disney World!!!
So far I’m the most excited member of the York family. Jeremy has too much on his mind. Savannah doesn’t really remember her last trip there…she wasn’t quite 3 yet. And Emery, having spent the last Disney vacation at my parents house since he was a wee 3 months old, doesn’t have a clue what’s in store for him but asks me every day, “do we go to Dizzy Word today?”
Thursday we fly out. Between sky miles, going in the off season, unexpected inheritance from my Grandmother, Discover card member rewards, and 13 months of putting money away…we are paid in full with cash to spare! I am thrilled!!!
Don’t wait up for me! See you when I get back! :)

Well, you may be the only one excited about Dizzy Word at this point, but once Savannah gets there and sees all those princesses again and Emery sees Lightnin McQueen up close and personal (and Buzz and Woody…..) You all are gonna have a BLAST! Emery will be so much braver on the rides and I know Savannah will still be eery bit as enamored as last time. :)
Have a blast and send lots of pix on your new handy dandy phone!!!
Have a great time. Good for you to stick with a budget.

I am so jealous! We were just there in January for a week and I wish we had the funds to go every year. That is the Happiest Place
On Earth, I am convinced of that. Michael always says I act like the kids do when we get ready to go. You guys go and enjoy that
paid for vacation, that is the best way to do it, you deserve it! We will be praying for a safe and fun trip and can’t wait to see pictures!
Have a great time! Relax, destress, revive, and renew!

IF you have a chance you must eat breakfast at Boatwright’s @ Port Orleans and have the banana stuffed french toast. It’s the BOMB!!!!
Have fun and enjoy yourself!
