Personalized Gorp Trail Mix

One of the snack ideas that I think would be wonderful to take on day's out in Orlando would be personalized Gorp (Trail Mix) bags. If everyone would like to CHOOSE ONE ITEM to have on hand then each person can add in what they would like.


Some suggestions are:
Cherrios (Honey Nut, Chocolate, Cinnamon..)
Chocolate Chips
Dried Fruit (Cherries, Blueberries, Raisens...)
Nuts (Chasews,..)
Sunflower Seeds


If everyone would let me know what their choices would be I will post them below:

Debbie - Craisens
Leo - Peanuts
Eric -
Brooke -
Leann -
James -
Erin -
Eddie -
Eric -
Margie - Banana Chips
Jeff -
Jordan -
Lucas -
Steve -
Sharon - Chocolate Cheerios
Nicholas -
Emilia - Cashews

House Picked and Deposit Made

Ok, so we finally settled on a house.





I have updated the new amounts for everyone for their room and board. Margie has sent me the new updated treasury report which is reflected by the thermomters' on the right - so get to sending and see it climb!!




James B and crew are also planning on coming up for Thanksgiving - Wha-hoo! That's awesome!




We still plan on telling the kids on New Years Eve about DW!




Upcoming topic:

Where/When/How many days Theme parks.

Menu - Let us know of any food allergies/major dislikes!

New Housing Option

While doing some more research I found this 7 bd house. Although it is not in the "Windsor Hills Resort" area which we prefered. I think the savings outweigh the difference. It is a few miles further from DW and the resort pool isn't as nice imo. But since we are talking over $1000 savings I am voting for this option. And we will all be in one house....Yippee!!

You can check out the resort here.

The new cost per bedroom is roughly $330. Add in the $100 per person for food (just a guesstimate: will further refine the cost as we get closer to the time and decide how many meals we will be eating at the house) Get your money to Margie asap!

Disney Tips

My girlfriend and her family just got through going to Disneyland and had some wonderful tips.
