We were talking yesterday afternoon on the way home from a afternoon out...talking about maybe we'd pop down to Williamsburg or up to Gettysburg to take in some holiday festivities & decorations. Well that morphed into recalling our trip the first weekend of December to WDW several years ago.
And you know what happens when you start talking about WDW...
So, taking our incredibly difficult year into account, we have decided to go down in early December, as opposed to our proposed trip in Jan or Feb., 2015.
Today we are both double checking our work schedules and once that is done I'm pulling the trigger on this trip!
We are going to do a Fri-Tuesday long weekend, flying out of Baltimore, staying (assuming availability) at a Beach Club studio. If for some reason we can't get into BC, we will stay at the Boardwalk. I've already checked and found decent flights - bonus is I've got enough points to get two r/t tickets!
It's as if the universe is staying "do it, you need it."
And I'm answering "I will, and I do!"
It's a impulse purchase/trip for sure but we are not suffering any guilt or buyers remorse. We are thinking of it as therapeutic. A giant therapy session with one big co-pay
And our boys are old enough to stay home by themselves, get themselves to where they need to be work, school...without us worrying over them or imposing on a family member to stay with them while we are gone. And with the boys home I won't have to board my puppies, and they can stay home and sleep in their own beds! All I need to do is make sure there are enough dog treats, pizza, chips and natcho makings in the house!
When we did the math we realized instead of the two years we had thought it was, in reality it has been about 3 years since we've been.
Excited, and very much looking forward to it. Bring on the Christmas decorations!

35! Just 7 short weeks and I'll be sitting here trying to pass the time till I head to the airport...
Joey
Oh boy! Well I now have a count down!
46 days to go!
Enjoy your trip, Ericles! Spontaneous trips are the best. My sister and I did one quite a few years back before Millionaire closed.
Cathy
Two weeks from tomorrow!

33! Winner on 6 the hard way! Inching towards only 4 weeks--definitely time to start packing and deciding whats needed for such a long trip...
I'm sure we will do laundry at least once or twice with machines in the condo...Probably the best feature of SW (IMO) now that their rates are the same or higher than competing airlines...is the free checked bags...
Joey
You can still get great rates at SW if you are booking well in advance. We booked our flights months ago and were able to get tickets for about $200 round trip. These days you generally don't do much better than that from Long Island to MCO. I agree on the free bags - that saves you $50 round trip at a minimum.
Oh, and by the way.....22 days! I can almost taste the School Bread!

44 days for us. Today in Maryland it's what we call a "Animal Kingdom day"....rainy. Cause every time we go to AK it rains!
Don't foreget your fastpasses for Be our Guest lunch. You can book those 27 days prior to your fastpass reservation. I was able to do mine last week for 9 people. I had been told that they opened up at 7:00am, but I tried at 5:00am and it worked.
20 days from right now I should be on my DME bus!
