We've been using the "2 Broke Guys" moniker for so long now, we've outlasted the TV show "2 Broke Girls" on which it was based. (Canceled!)
The idea was a year+ of saving Disney Chase Visa points to see if we could go to Victoria & Albert's for our 10 year wedding anniversary completely on their dime - and keeping a running total including additions and withdrawals (for little WDW trips along the way) much like they did at the end of every episode of that TV show - like this:
$1,678.91
And that figure is actually what we have left to spend on our trip - about double what we would need for our V&A dinner! Not to mention: points paid for our 2 AP's, some of our lodging for this trip, and many mini-trips along the way. All that meandering, planning, brainstorming and trip reporting is on this thread:

But that can take awhile. I'll give a little background in another post. Shout out to @dizfan917 for accidentally naming this thread in a post on that one, and to @Tuvalu for inspiring the "mother thread" with links to other thread(s) format.
Also to all those who have been following all this time! As those folks know, I go back and forth between posting with my phone and my laptop, and I'm more comfortable on the laptop. I'm using the phone now, whilst not asleep in Orlando, and anxious to get this first post out of the way before I do something to accidentally make it go poof! I will tag the others in a separate post.
Can't believe we're finally here!!

. I had to change dates at last second.. originally was supposed to go to KW post cruise, but didn’t realize that kiddo receives a sacrament that week. (Irresponsible Mom moment!). So now I have to do pre cruise 16th or 17th- 19th, and one night in SoFla post cruise. I think Margaritaville was over $400 per night on those dates..and with flight times we would arrive at 8pm on the first night.. so really only one day at the hotel. I can’t justify that for such a short stay, not with the airfare prices of the new dates.lol. It’s nuts! Outside of the Diplomat and Margaritaville I don’t know anything about Hollywood Beach hotels, I’m scared to choose a total dive so figured SoBe and Ft Laud are a little more safe.
