If you remember repeating this as a child, you\u2019ll also remember that it finished \u201cThree to get ready, and Four to go\u201d. Shortly, my hubby and I are going to Walt Disney World with our daughter Pam, and our daughter Mary and her family. Here\u2019s how I\u2019ve applied this little ditty to our upcoming trip.<\/p>\n
One for the Money – First we decided which days to spend at WDW, and booked our trip with our favorite MFL agent, Linda Norton. Once that was done, we needed to figure out how to save money to pay for the trip. We started putting loose change in our \u201cjug\u201d bank, and to date (with less than a week to go) we have over $100.00. These funds, combined with our Disney rewards, will go a long way to covering our tips. I\u2019m a pin trader, so I searched out some good values on eBay where I was able to get pins for about $1 each. Free dining helped us save some money, too. And each pay, we tucked a little extra aside into our vacation fund. Mary kept checking the price on our flights, and as they decreased, she was able to get us credits for what we had overpaid. Hubby and I now have almost enough to purchase flights for our next scheduled visit in March to see the Flower and Garden Show. Throughout this past year, we purchased Disney gift cards at a local supermarket, which earned us discounts on gasoline. And so, we have these gift cards to use for our spending money and saved a little on fuel in the process. So we\u2019ve saved our money in several different ways.<\/p>\n
Two for the Show \u2013 We looked at our favorite parks, and everyone in the group made a list of have-to-see\u2019s, want-to-see\u2019s, and have-no- interests. Then everyone decided where they would like to eat. We try to accommodate everyone\u2019s favorite eating spots. Mary, who is our unofficial tour guide, put all these lists together and worked diligently to formulate touring plans for each park on days that were alleged to be less crowded. After the parks were decided, we discussed our food choices. We had elected to upgrade to deluxe dining. And, at our 180-day window, Mary worked her magic with our reservations. Some have changed since that day, but we\u2019re all very satisfied with the final results. We made plans to see Fantasmic and booked a dinner package since we hadn\u2019t seen it on the last trip. And of course, we had to plan on seeing Illuminations. Attending the Mickey\u2019s Not So Scary Halloween Party was a definite must, and on the recommendation of Agent Linda, we have booked the Wishes Dessert Party. And finally, the \u201cshow\u201d is set.<\/p>\n

Three to get Ready \u2013 We all sat down together and decided who wanted to wear what tee shirts for each park. Mary printed off the transfers, and she, Pam and I worked on completing the tee shirts. We\u2019ve gone over our check lists, and made last minute purchases. I have finished making neck coolers for everyone, and am working on trick-or-treat bags for MNSSHP. I have designed and printed envelopes for Mousekeeping tips. We have all received our document packs, and have put everything in a safe place. Those needing to request time off work have done so, and gotten approval. We have determined which rides and shows are most handicapped-friendly, since I will be in an ECV and my grandson is in a wheelchair. I\u2019ve pulled out the quilt blocks that I didn\u2019t get signed on the last trip in the hopes that maybe this trip I\u2019ll get those elusive autographs.
\nAnd we have all decided that we will be packing our suitcases this weekend. Oh yes, we\u2019ve been getting ready.<\/p>\n
And Four to Go \u2013 And now we are just 6 days from our trip. The excitement just keeps building. Fall is my favorite time of the year, and I can\u2019t wait to see all the fall decorations. The pictures I\u2019ve seen are really stunning, but I\u2019ll bet they don\u2019t compare to seeing them in person. And, I\u2019m really looking to the parade and the Headless Horseman So in less than a week, we will board our flight for Orlando. We\u2019ll take the Magical Express to our respective resorts, check in, and meet at Hollywood Studios. And, it\u2019s not four, but seven that are ready to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
