It's offical. We are going to DISNEY WORLD!

It's the 2nd happiest place on earth. Disney Land being the official 1st.

I have longed to go to Disney World. Dreamed of it. Desired it. and always thought it would be a no go. Thanks to the loving husband I have, we are going.

We decided to take Jadon with us, and I called Beth to ask her if we could.  They took a day to think about it as it would mean taking him out of school for an official 7 days. He's a good student, which is why I felt comfortable, but it is 7th grade, and that can be tough on a kid to miss.

He had to do a contract with his parents that he would be very good, and he had to work with his teachers to maybe do as much homework as possible while we are there. This poses a small problem for me, as I want him to get the most out of this trip and I still feel I need to schedule homework time. But then again, it will not destroy any of us, if we leave the parks a little early or even take a short break to go back to the hotel.

So once they said yes I booked the airline tickets. they are non-refundable. So it's official. Disney World here we come!

I then bought the park tickets. 5 days of DW and 1 day at Universal Orlando Islands of Adventure. (Harry Potter Park).

These theme parks make some MONEY!  It was $302.00 per person for 5 days at Disney World.  and $87.00 for 1 day at Universal. And we are staying at a Disney World hotel. Here's the break down:
Park Tickets for 4: $1528.00
Hotel: $925.00
Air Fare: $1807.00
Rental Car: $200.00
Scooter for me: $180.00
estimated food: $1200.00
Grand total not including souvenirs: $5840.00

The park tickets just came yesterday. They were shipped FAST!
