Agree 100%! Disney is expensive as a family you have to make the choices that work best for you and your fam not what is most popular. We stay at deluxe resorts renting DVC points for less than the cost of a family suite at Art of Animation because we have a fam of 5, but we save our money doing grocery delivery and no sit down meals because thats not as important to us. It's all about balance and weighing cost/benefit. I would love to travel more but we have other financial goals so I get the whole FOMO feeling. Thanks for always keeping it real!!! We are going back to WDW in Feb if you happen to be there would love to meet you and help justify those figment purchases lol!
🤣 Figment is still lovingly carried around the house, he's now Velva. Renting DVC never worked out for me. I tried so many times! As of now, I have no plans to head back to Disney💔
Thank you for this. Next year we will take my daughter to Disney for the first time. She will be 10. This will be our only time. We won’t be doing all the things but I fully expect to have a great time. We are not into characters we are not foodies but we do love shows and rides and snacks.
So many people get caught up in the disney vacations of others that they genuinely wind up hating the process and even the trip. Don't stress about what you're not doing. Believe it or not, tons of people have no interest in Star Wars and still stress about signing up and paying $$$$ to build a light Saber. 🤯
@@SuitcasePrincess that is crazy. We like Star Wars but I can’t imagine my daughter playing with it once we get home so there is no point in getting one. Our money will be better spent on things she will play with at home.
Are you guilty of falling into the FOMO trap about family travel? I know I am.

@@SuitcasePrincess Aww thats too bad. With a fam of 4 I think going directly through Disney is probably cheaper.
I kept trying to make it work to get that deluxe stay😅
Even with huge off-season pass discounts, I just could never justify the Disney cost of deluxe.
