Disney World Update

So we paid off our trip and have bought our Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party tickets!  FYI Halloween night is sold out.  My mom and brother-in-law are now joining us as well!  My kids are even more excited!  I have been trying to get them super exited about the trip by showing them rides and such.  My oldest is just chill like yeah whatever...I think he is excited but trying to be cool about it..I love the rides at Disney...I am trying to talk him into riding Space Mountain with me.  He is more excited for Kahli River Rapids...My dd is excited for the shows and wants to get to be in one!  She is my child who will break out in song and dance in the middle of the grocery store about the food we are buying.  My youngest is excited to meet Mickey and the gang.  Mickey is his all time favorite!
We are having breakfast at Kona cafe to explore a new resort one morning.  My daughter is excited for out breakfast at Be Our Guest!  I can't believe I managed to get a reservation for 7 there.  My hubby and I are also going to have a date night at Boma!  I love tying new foods and we get a 10% discount with my Disney visa!  We are still trying to decide on 2 cars or one mini van for our trip down. Probably the minivan.  The trip isn't til October and I already have the kids clothes together!  I am still working on what I am taking.  I know we are bringing lots of bottled water and snacks.  We have changed our plans on when we are leaving.  We are leaving the night before around dinner time now.  We are trying to avoid traffic in ATL.   Once we get our Magic Bands and MNSSHP tickets and all of our trip info I will post about Disney again...  I'll be updating on our home school situation this week too.

$422.88, That's It!!!

$422.88, that's all we owe on our Disney package!  I can't believe it.  At the end of this month the most of the trip (package, MNSSHP tickets, and memory maker), except for car rental, stroller rental, and spending money.  The stroller will be reserved next month and the rest will be saved up over the next couple months.

This trip would not have been possible if it weren't for  a lot of budgeting and my husbands 2nd job, which he is hoping to turn into his one and only job in the future.  I hope that can happen.  It would give him at least one day off a week and he would even get a raise and be making more than he is with the 2 jobs he has now!  I am so happy he gets to go to Disney World with us this time.  Hopefully we can do this more often in the future.  Next year our goal is to get our kitchen redone and if we can go on another trip we will, maybe a longer one!
