Wow, just wow. Not even sure how to respond.
No, we're not hurting financially. But we're not crazy rich either. We busted our butts in college / grad school, got good jobs, and continue to bust our butts in the real world. We love Disney and we prioritize our disposable income on trips. We are doing both FL and CA because I got us cheap flights. We are flying from PHL to MCO for $24 per person. $24. Twenty-four. I've spent more on breakfast. We are flying from MCO to LAX for $88 per person. Across the whole dang country for $88. And then LAX back to PHL for $165 each. So $277 for three flights, including two cross-country, direct flights. So actually, since we don't have APs for Universal or Sea World, we'd have to buy tickets. I'm pretty sure that would cost the same, if not more.
