I sold one of the children on the last trip. That brought in some money.

I believe you have to purchase a package deal with room, tickets, and everything. We don't ever get it because we have FSPs. There are ways around this however.

I say no more about the subject.

Thanks for the apology. You were out of line. You shouldn't judge any group as a whole. Anyone who refers to people as "trailer trash" are ignorant. They are usually just a fine group of folks doing the best they can.

Yeah I think you misrepresented the child, I want my money back!

7 days 6 nights 2007 for 1400.00 I think that is what the commercial said.

I don't really save. It's a vacation for crying out loud!

Not everyone can afford to not be frugal on a trip. Just because it's a vacation doesn't mean the person is made of money.

I really like this thread. I like that so many other people are willing to share ways of saving money. What I don't like is the people who pop in from time to time and call us all trailer trash, or poor, or ridicule us for having to save money just because we want to go on a vacation, too.

The trailer park comment on the last page was a low blow, and yet, the person who wrote it ridicules US for a lack of upbrining?

I may not live in a trailer park now, but I lived in one a few years back. Does that mean because I did, and because I want to keep a trip low cost, that I'm trailer trash? No, it doesn't.

How about this- if you don't like that some people are not rich enough to spend $5,000 on a trip, then don't look in a thread designed to let people save a few dollars here and there.

I don't agree with all the methods posted, nor would I resort to stealing food from buffets just to make sure we get our extra money's worth. However, I don't think anyone really has the right to sit around judging others, either, or calling them trailer trash simply because we might not all have oodles of exces cash laying around.

You are a goofball, you know that? You don't pay for your vacations, you poor parents have to foot the bill

And I have done this on other trips. Flour tortilla, shredded cheese and Tyson chicken strips make great Quesadillas onthe GF grill.

OMG, are you kidding? That is terrible. It's not a boarding house, it's a hotel. I hope you plug your crock pot into your cigarette lighter in your truck, so not to offend the other guests with cooking aromas
