Disney Bound!!!

So we are headed to Disney in May!!!!!!! My brother is going with us. Not sure if Marko will or not. He is so.... ANTIhumans. Not sure if that is a good explanation. He hates going to even Walmart or the mall because he doesn't like crowds. He isn'y so sure we should go, but I don't think we should pass up this unbelievable deal. $99 for each of us for 5 days-- not $99 a day, TOTAL! So that would be $400! I have that much loaned out to one friend, so that would cover tickets. Then we have sme boarding options- all under $100 a night- but we haven't decided yet! I have most of that loaned out to friends too- unknown to Marko. He'd murder me if he knew! We plan to go May 3-7. That way 2 days would be my "regular" days off and then I would only have to use 3 vacation days! Then I would still have enough vacation time to cash in for cash value! That would help towards gas to get there then we'd bring our own grocerries and sodas to greatly limit our food bills.... hoping all goes as planned. I have dreamed of going to Disney for as long as I can remember! Our family wasn't well off so most our "vacations" were to our family in West Viginia. Other than 1 trip to Ohio when I was about 8, a few to different places in Pa all defore I was 12, and 2-3 to VA Beach that is all the vacationing we've ever done. Marko and I are yet to have taken one. He has traveled A LOT with work but not sure you can call that a vacation. I have NEVER taken a vacation day in my 5.5 years at BK... 4 weeks in 5.5 years I have taken off 3 days instead of two, but still worked 40 hours at least each of those weeks! I'm sooooo excited!I'm dreaming of disney....
Ok I got my hotel confirmation email last night and day 1 of 5 of my vacation is now PAID. The hotel deposit is one day hotel fee. We will be staying at Shades of Green.
Jayna is VERY excited as well to go on "Caytion" as she calls is to the "Disney Beach". And EVERYday she asks me "We going on Caytion today?"
So my to do list grows and grows....
I need to buy a stroller... we have a small umbrella one but it's foot rest is broken AND it has no storage space
Then we have a HUGE shopping list in order to save a pretty penny and spend much less when there.
There is def a bittersweet part to my vacation. My best friend is coming with us as my husband is less than interested and he is hopeful he can go to this computer conference thing later in the year. However It's hard to have a HUGE family vacation like this and not dream of the most adorable smart nearly six year old with us. If Brandy is going with us of course Christian Blake would have gone with us too. And not only would he be along with us, we are allowed 5 tickets at this discounted price. We are only getting four. There would have DEF been room and money for our handsome lil sweetheart to have been with us. We have stayed best friends nearing 8 years now. Anything special or important we are TOGETHER. Blake should be with us joining in the fun, but instead we will celebrate his birthday two weeks after our return from Disney. I will undoubtingly buy him some corny disney memorabilia for his grave site. Just so we know he knows he should have been with us. SURE he already KNOWS; he's our angel and knows it all but for some whatever reason we feel the need to reassure ourselves and our perfect baby boy.





I'm so excited... I just can't hide it ya know ya know 109 days to go....
