fladogfan aka Gretchen 259 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 First time for me also...loved that you made a budget and stayed in it. Why would anyone give grief to someone trying to make and stay in a budget? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 First time for me also...loved that you made a budget and stayed in it. Why would anyone give grief to someone trying to make and stay in a budget?Gretchen -I asked for advise on the budget board "over there" on how to earn some extra cash, since we were going to be on a tight budget. Some people gave good advice, like get a paper route. Others berated me for being such a bad mom, taking the kids to WDW and only taking them to one park, not letting them buy all the souveniers they want, and making them stay in a tent instead of a nice hotel. As you can see, my kids had a great time inspite of all the "hardships" they had to endure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

momof3kids-Yvonne 594 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 As we are in the month where people on Facebook are sharing what they are grateful for, I thought it only appropriate to bump Marty's trip report. I am forever grateful to her and her family for showing us that a trip to Disney on a small budget can be done and done well. Thank you Marty! :heartsmiley: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fladogfan aka Gretchen 259 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Thanks for bumping this up again. Reread it all, so much fun you had and stayed under budget too.I know a local family that takes the little ones to ride the monorail just because their kids enjoy that.They have to watch pennies also. Makes sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I did not see that this had been bumped until today. Thanks for all the sweet comments! I love WDW and I love the fort, but you guys are the best! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
