Looks like after 8 months of planning and dreaming, my Disney holiday will be postponed. One of the families that was travelling with us has had reality bite them in the backside, and has cancelled out. They had no idea how expensive the trip would be, and once they started adding it up, realized that they couldn't do this trip in Feb, the summer holiday they had already commited to, and buy a house next year. The other family is also having some money issues, and will have to opt out as well. We could still go ourselves, but to be honest, a big part of the excitement for me was the thought of the camaraderie around the pool, sharing our day's adventure. After some discussion, we have pretty much decided to take the money we've been saving and buy a tent trailer in the spring. I'm still going to watch the seat sales, and at least without the others along I could use Priceline if we decided to make a cheap trip. I'm disappointed, but out voted, and I can't really insist on spending all that money on a trip that is way more important to me than it is to the rest of the family, when it could go towards something we've been planning on buying for a couple of years, that the whole family will enjoy for a lot longer than a week. Maybe there will be an awesome seat sale and we'll be able to do both!
