Surprise! We're going to Disney World!

We have always talked of going to Disney with our girls, once they were all old enough.  Numerous times we have started saving, only to have other life happenings get in the way.  This time we thought it was "now or never" as our eldest is 16 1/2 years old.  So we seized the opportunity and I began squirreling away even more savings, whenever and wherever I could.  I began searching online for any information I could and found myself extremely overwhelmed and "wasting" many evening hours looking for real info, real prices, real peoples experiences and how they made it work for them.  So, this is our real life experiences put to blog.  It is also going to be put into a photo book for our memories, so this is as personal as it gets.  If you have stumbled onto this blog while doing your own searching, I hope it is helpful!

 We asked our eldest daughter Kate if we should still try to go to the Canadian East coast this year, or if we should "just go to Disney"?  She said "YES, let's go to Disney!"  So she is the one taking the photos of her two younger sisters being surprised.

 By this point I had already ordered the tickets, so they would know that FOR SURE it was REAL!

Ruth's reaction ~ Is this real? Really...we're going for real?
Mei's reaction ~  EEEEK!

It did take some convincing that yes, we were going!  Next on my list was lodging and to figure out what date we could go.
I will make a list of what we had to do in another post.
