A vacation...without the parks?!

[DDuckFan130]

Hello all! I have a question to ask of all of you. My family and I were planning on going to WDW in November/December to take in the holiday festivities at the parks. However, my mom also brought up the idea to go right now in August to WDW and just stay at the hotel and relax and go to DTD. We can't afford season passes right now and are trying to save up for that, but my mom has always wanted a real vacation that did not involve waking up early and running around in the parks :lol:. I was wondering who among you have done this and what are your thoughts. We will also most likely go to WDW later in the year as I mentioned. Any opinions on the subject would be very much appreciated. Thanks so much :wave:

well at first i was going to say thats a long trip why not go to the beach instead
but then i saw you're from miami and you're probably looking at the beach right now
lol

i have never been to orlando witout going to the parks, but i bet if you have lots and lots of willpower to not go, it could be fun! I love DtD anyways

What do you mean by long trip? You mean going all the way down and NOT go to the parks :lol:? If that's it, well for us like you noticed it'd be 3.5 hours UP and it's not big deal with us. We've taken trips down to Key West that have taken longer and have been a LOT more boring. And yes we've been to the beach enough times down here...it's not one of my favorite places to go seeing as how we have it right here :lol:.

This wouldn't be our first time NOT going to the parks. But the last time we did this, we had something to do. A couple of years ago we went up there for the NSYNC charity basketball game and stayed at AS Music and it was fun. That's why we thought of doing something similar this time around, nothing but relaxation and away from Miami.

As far as willpower, I know it'll be tough, but I think we can do it. The lack of money is enough willpower in itself :lol: and also we do plan on going back and go to the parks.
