Yes, you heard me. We are going to DisneyWorld!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, now that you are done screaming with me, let me tell you all about it. Due to some Christmas money, gift certificates, and money we didn’t spend on Christmas, we were able to pull this off. Disney is offering a buy 4 night get 3 free deal. This also includes your park tickets. Also, if you go before March 29th, you get a $200 gift card to Disney when you get there. I was able to find airfare from Southwest for $78 each way for each of us. To save a little money, we are making Will a lap baby (wish me luck on that one).
I was to Disney when I was 15, but haven’t been back since. This will be the first trip for Bill, Madison, and Will. Madison is pretty excited. Since I have a few weeks before we get to go, I’ll be talking a lot of Disney. 
However, Bill has already told me I am not allowed to pay for internet access while I am there, so you all will at least get a little break from the Disney madness.
Tell me about your trips to Disney. Anything we definitely need to do? Any advice you want to give me?

Yes, I said it. We are thinking of maybe going to Disney. I am in the process of trying to talk Bill into it. They have a great deal going on, so if we don’t set this up soon, we will lose the deal. However, if you have any advice I’d love to hear it. We are leaning towards staying at Disney’s Port Orleans: French Quarter Resort. I have an 18 month old and Madison will be 5 when we go. I am trying to research everything I can like how we can avoid Plantar Fasciitis and how to save money while we are there. I already found super cheap airfare through Southwest. We also are leaning heavily towards getting the dining plan. Things we still have to figure out is how long to go for, what disney parks we should see, etc. If you have been there with small children, I would defintely love to hear from you.

Well, I finally did it. There is a conference there in September that I had registered for months and months ago. However, I was looking for a roommate and hadn’t set up my plane or my hotel yet. However, now it is done. I am using the free Southwest ticket I won at BlogWorld last year to fly there (when I called to set up my flight, the lady was so nice and friendly and even spoke English!). We are going to be staying at the Courtyard Marriott. I found an awesome deal on their website (better than the deal that the conference was getting for us!). I wish I would have time to do some fun playing at the theme parks there, but I have to get back to my kids plus the conference has us booked up. Let me know if you are going to be there too, so we can meet up!

I didn’t do anything worth blogging about the morning of Day 2. I did head over to Blogworld in the afternoon. I knew Pete from Izea was going to be there around one, and I definitely wanted to meet him in person. I also needed to finish walking through the trade show and Mark Cuban was the closing speaker. I wanted to see him speak.
I did run into Pete:
He’s from England, so not only is he cute but he has an English accent too. Pete has his own fan club (whether he likes it or not). One of the booths I stopped at was for Southwest. On my Lisa Reviews blog, I actually wrote up a review regarding my flight on my way to Vegas, so I stopped by and let them know. They also were giving away inflatable airplanes, and I wanted to grab one for Madison. I let them know that I had written a review and enjoyed the fight. They told me they were having a contest for anyone who commented on their blog. Needless to say, I commented.
Who knew that I could later have used a nurse from a travel nursing agency later that day? Seriously, I did not need a nurse that had a travel nursing job, but my heart did stop when I found out that I won. What did I win? A free round trip ticket that doesn’t need to be used till December of 2008. I can use it anywhere that Southwest goes. Since I live in Chicago and that is Southwest’s main headquarters, I can pretty much go anywhere. I keep repeating this and no one believes me. Really, I am not lucky. I never win anything.
