Our most recent trip to WDW was a long time in the making - 80 years. Actually it wasn't that long, but some extensive planning did go into this trip. It started about two years ago when my mom (Disneybird) wanted to take my grandmother to WDW for her 80th birthday. The original plan was to try to get as much of the family as possible to go down and surprise her on the actual day, but due to financial difficulties and some people just otherwise being bums not as many of the family members as we had hoped were able to make it, just the important ones.
To give more of a backstory I didn't know if I would be able to go for quite some time. I'm working on my Master's and part of the program includes a year long internship at a local high school. With my internship I'm not supposed to miss any days, and any time that I do miss I am supposed to make up. Combine all of that with trying to figure out if it would be financially responsible for me to even take this trip since I really have no income since starting my Master's and my husband would not be able to go because of work, I did not make up my mind until it was almost time to go.
Around September my husband told me for the hundreth time that we can afford this trip and that I should go, I decided that I would really start looking into it. My aunt, uncle, and cousin were going and flying Allegiant out of Chattanooga on a Friday night and coming back on Monday for $19 (excluding tax) each way. I talked to them about taking the flight with them and making sure that there would be enough room for me in their rental car from Sanford Int. Once that was settled I had to make sure that I could get out of going to school for just one day. I talked to my mentor teacher, and he was fine with me being out. So, with all of that said and done it was time to get ready for our December 4-6 trip to WDW.
Now that we are done with the boring stuff, let's get on with the show!
