How much do you think you have saved so far?

I know how much I have and it's actually INSANE.

£117, and I wondered where all my money was going. it's weird because if you buy clothes you have it physically there, and you can see it. spending money on cigs to me was like I wasn't spending money because I didn't SEE it, it just burnt away. but to see the figure is mad!

How are you doing without the cigs?



Shall we just have the orgy here and we can all wear Minnie ears?

There is every chance I own enough pairs of Minnie ears to cater for all of us.

In all honesty the kids' favourite thing will probably be the pool, the moderate ones are better than the Values. (Art of Animation is a value and it has an amazing pool though - highly recommend.)

IMO the best moderate (and bizarrely the only one I haven't stayed in) is Port Orleans French Quarter. It's small so there's no bad building to stay in, has a good pool, a nice food court, a boat to Disney Springs and you can walk to Port Orleans Riverside which has a sit down restaurant and another food court giving you more options.

If your budget can stretch to it, I'd really recommend Gran Destino Tower at Coronado Springs. It's basically a deluxe resort for moderate prices, and you have all the amenities of Coronado Springs. It's a conference resort so loads of restaurant choice and the pool is a cracker.

That's amazing. Are you putting the savings aside?

I feel like I need to do this with bought coffees

well done, I'm so proud!! as an occasional mostly-ex social smoker I know how hard it is to resist the little blighters after a few drinks, so you're doing amazingly.

also, what a SEXUAL tax post this is! the way his little finger is digging into his thigh in this one is really doing things to me???

The Port Orleans French Quarter was the one I was looking at! Will have a look at the current offers but it’s probably realistically going to be 2024. By which time they’ll probably want to do Universal as well which I ignored when I was planning last time because I thought they’d be too young.

Is Universal quite close? Could I get an UberDog there and still stay at Disney? I hate packing and repacking.

Does anyone remember when you'd get a 10 pack of Sovereign for £2, or slightly more upmarket Mayfair for £2.40?

Friday night would be a pack of sovereign and a bottle of Glen's vodka to take down the park

I was so focused on the ponytail that I never noticed this the first time, and also couldn’t have told you what colour his T-shirt was. I’ve just got it cropped for the ponytail.

Bloody hell, if I smoked and now gave up I could afford Disney next year.

my mum smoked silk cut and is quitting with me, they're now £14 a pack

My mum also smokes Silk Cut, and I swear to god one of my earliest memories is her saying "40 Silk Cut king size" every time we were at the newsagent

I'm not being preachy but the impact that smoking parents have on kids is nuts. I was so desperate to try one.

I worked in Kwik Save (remember that!?) when I was 16 and I'm sure it was £1.63 for 10 Richmond. I only decently learned you don't get packs of 10 anymore and my mind was blown.

We don't do Universal but you should definitely go. It's probably about half an hour away, maybe a bit less, you could easily Uber it, but I'd recommend doing a split stay. Packing cubes will be your friend. The Universal hotels are excellent, mainly very new and some fantastic value. 10 nights Disney and 4 in Universal might be a nice balance.
