I also booked my 10 day vacation next summer for my 10 year anniversary! We went all out and we are staying at the Grand Floridian! Again, I hope you and your family have a great time!

You know you'll be top of my list of people to annoy with the photos when I get back If you're especially lucky you might even get to see the ones the niece will take with her Disney digital camera I have for her to take

This is costing us £3170(for the 4 of us)inc car rental which I didnt think was bad. Not bought our passes yet.(And obviously the food) Personally I think its worth every last penny. Where as if I had my drive way re surfaced the excitement would last around ten seconds.
