WOOO HOOOO!!!!

We added Free Dining to our Reservation!!!!!
***Doing a happy dance***
It saved us over $800!!!

Now it is just a waiting game until time to make Dining Reservations, but not much longer only 5 more days!

I am getting so excited.

I have been keeping our vacation dates secret from the boys. They think we are going in October. I can't wait to surprise them in Sept. It hasn't been easy keeping the date quiet, we have quite a few big mouths in our family and have a good size extended family that are close. It is going to be fun packing bags and loading the SUV without letting on to the boys. I think I can pull it off but most will have to be done while they are asleep. Since we homeschool, I don't have the luxury of having the kids gone for 7-8 hrs a day. But at least with homeschooling it opens up other opportunities.

Well I guess that is all for now. And I shall leave with ***Happy Dance***
