Take care of your priorities first.

I have to agree with Dana here - so much is just plain commonsense. No one needs all those extras to have fun at WDW. I bet your daughter wouldn't even miss it. Gift baskets? c'mon. BBB - ridiculous price. And in the Florida heat all that hairspray and sparkle is just going to drip and get itchy anyway. Your daughter will be happy with a pony tail and her coolest shorts. Get the counterservice meal plan. You don't need to ask other people - you just have to use commonsense. These days everyone is cutting back - you need to get your priorities straight. If you want the trip, then cut the luxuries. It can actually be kind of fun if you have the right attitude.

How do you think people are going to respond when you're complaining you had to cancel the limo to save the dog?
