The reason behind the budgeting!!

So the big reason behind our budgeting is our HOLIDAY OF A LIFETIME 2015!!
Guess where - yep there is no better place for us - 

Walt Disney World Florida!



I haven't been since I was 12 and none of the rest of my brood have been and are all so excited!! Well Keith is so laid back that Im not sure he does excited but he assures me he is....
 I know Jess is excited as she has already pinned up a chart to remind herself to start saving!!



Flynn just keeps asking if we can go and see Cinderellas Castle and if Toy Story and Cars will be there!!

So 2015 is our year we are hoping to visit mid May as we would love to be there over my dad's 60th (who is disney mad - and will be joining us) and Flynn's 5th Birthday.

As we live in Whitley Bay our nearest airport is Newcastle Upon Tyne and flight to Orlando from here can be expensive so we are looking at flights from Glasgow or Manchester - most prob with Virgin Atlantic



Im a keen dibber - see the best website for keeping up with british disney news -  www.thedibb.co.uk
On the site almost everyday for tips on how to make the most out of your disney holiday!



I dont have anything planned as yet but I do have ideas of where we would like to stay
Indian Creek or one of the communities within 10 mins of the Disney Parks

And maybe a night at Hard Rock Hotel as you get extra Theme Park benefits such as skipping the long queues!!

So as we are surviving on Keith's one wage - this is almost a mission impossible to scrape together £8000 in 2 years...Im hoping and praying that nothing drastic is going to go wrong with the car or major appliances!!

Stay tuned for updates on how much I need to save each week and how im doing it!!
