I've always wanted to take my girls (ages 8 and 10) to Disney World, but after looking up pricing a few weeks ago, I knew there was no way I could afford it. I didn't say anything to anyone about it.
Last week, I get an email from my step-mom telling me my Dad made reservations at a resort in Orlando and wanted my girls and I to join them.
He's also going to buy a 3-day park hopper pass for us too. My girls and I are going to take the train down and meet them in Orlando.
The best part is that we aren't going until August, so I have something happy to look forward to all spring and summer!

I took my kids (about the same age as yours) 3 years ago.. and had a blast. Probably one of the best vacations we ever took.
Goods my kids weren't to crazy about Animal Kingdom.. except for the safari ride which was real neat.
My kids wanted to ride space mountain over and over.. go figure.. one of the oldest rides.

When I first read that I thought you had won the Superbowl. Seriously, congrats! Sounds like fun!

The train for the three of us is $376 round trip. Flyng out of DC, the cheapest of the tickets, was $399 and I'd have to drive 100 miles and use long term parking at the airport. Driving would cost about $250 just in gas.
Amtrak has half price fares for kids under 12 which is probably why it is so cheap.
They are so excited to be going and to be taking a train. I'm so happy they are going to get this experience. They are only little once. Dang, I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about it.

Finally! August is here. I have a new house and am mostly moved in AND I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD TOMORROW!!! The kids are so excited. The time off and playing with them will be relaxing.
Amtrak had shut down service to Florida for the past two days because of Tropical Storm Fay. I just hope that storm continues to move and doesn't boomberang back.

Have fun. I love Disney World. (Yes, I can admit it.) Give Dopey a kiss from me. He's my favorite.
