Wow!..Your Going To Disney World ...

Ok..It's like 2.00 am UK time..I've played a dance at a hotel tonight..Two little girls dressed in Elsa outfits caught my eye, so at half time i went over to them and said how beautiful they were..Of course their parents said this Frozen film is driving them bananas banana When I said that next week I'am off to WDW in Florida and I have a meet and greet with Anna and Elsa there faces were a picture..Then Mummy said she hopes to go next year as it would be a dream come true..Made me think tonight..Sitting here having a beer and knowing that we are so lucky that we can afford a holiday that other families just dream about..I hope she makes that dream come true..Have any of you ever came across this situation that you meet someone who dreams of going where you are going..?..

Well, first off, I can finally say that hubby and I have seen Frozen! So now I get it.

But to answer your question, no, not really, but probably because I'm here in the states and most of the people I talk to about our trips just look at me and say "Oh, you're going to Disney...again?"

We also recognize that we are incredibly lucky to be able to go as often as we do.

Totally agree JeffC...I've always said that if I stayed in Orlando, then popping over to WDW would be like popping down to my shopping mall..The distance and cost for a UK family is huge..I have neighbours who are hoping to go next year with their three children and stay onsite...So far the cheapest package for 14 nights is just under PS7000, that's around $11000...

Does that include airfare and park tickets, if so that's not that expensive for 14 days.

Our trip next year is around the GBP 6 thou, it includes airfares,park tickets (including UNI) and accomadation (PORS)
No it isn't the cheapest option (PE flight instead of regular) but it isn't THAT expensive in real terms.

Yes,that's flights and 14 day tickets for all...I had a look myself on Disneys site and in October next year,the PORS is cheaper than All Stars..Plus free dining at PORS...It quoted PS2,124 ( $3.400 ) Then it was $1.750 for park tickets..A total of $5.150 without flights..

We managed to get park tickets, flights, delux dining, magical express and preferred room at wilderness lodge for 4,000 for our honeymoon, to be honest that's cheap, where else could we eat three, three course meals a day, see quality shows and attractions, world class fireworks every night and 24 hour entertains for that price?

Many, many times. First I usually have some sense of guilt ,but then I encourage them and try to offer some tips or tricks to make the expense a little easier. People who haven't been to Disney don't usually know the way to get the best deals yet. There's a fine line to walk between being braggy and having a friendly discussion.

Wow..That's awesome..Our total package for 12 nights/13 days at WL with 14 day park hoppers and flights with VA for three adults is PS4370...That's cheaper than our 2012 for 14 nights at PORS ..
