We useally end up going every year for the past 7 years. As for not being able to aford it, when we first started going my husband and I were in grad school. I still don't know how we aforded it, thank goodness for savings. :lol:
I am mostly ok during the summer, it's when it is winter here in Michgian that I get the craving to go to WDW. We just joined DVC so hopefully we will get to go every year for the next 40. It has gotten so bad that I think about planing our family around it (can't get pregant now, we have those trips planed for next year!) We joke about having a kids so we could bring her to WDW. (BTW, time flys, our daughter turned 1 year old yesterday!)
We have to wait 15 months from last trip to next trip (March 2003). But We hope to go 2 times in 2003 and make the most of an annual pass.
dwldzm9, as for sponging off parents, I was married at age 22!! (but I do have very loving and genrous parents and in laws who have helped us in finical and other ways over the years!!!)
My advise to you Mickey04 is be as good and helpful as you can to your parents and let them know it is the only thing you want. You will save your own money and do extra things to help them out. If they can aford it and know how much it means to you, how can they say no???? (you could be asking for worse things, don't they know that?)
