Who Has Cancelled Their Trip Due To Fuel Prices ??
It is SAD to say that fuel prices will force us to cancel our yearly F.W. trip this year due to the fact that we are 1028 miles from our front door to F.W. and our 39 foot motorhome is diesel. Although it is MUCH cheaper for us to stay at F.W. in our motorhome instead of flying and staying at a resort, it has still become too expensive for fuel. So in great sadness we will be cancelling our November 2008 resies and HOPING that fuel prices will fall or at least level out so we can budget higher fuel costs for our 2009 trip.. We never thought that we would be forced not to be alble to visit our most favorite place.. WHAT is the world coming to ????????????????????
To the FW cancellation family
Since you still would love to go, and you don't want to pay Diesel costs, why not "rough" it this year and see the tent camping side of FW this year. We did the math for our trip in sept, and we live in Dec. Ill and suggesting that we have to pay $4.50 a gal. (i overshot it a bit just so I don't get sticker shocked), It will cost us approximately $433 round trip, to drive to Disneyworld; 1036 miles from home. When we went in Feb., it cost us about $350. Bummer, BUT, I am still glad I am not flying my family, for a grand total of $1300. If I were you, I would grab an area rug, a few small lamps, pack your clothes into some type of plastic drawers or bring collapsible boxes, bring some air mattresses, an elect. blanket J.I.C., and still see Disney. You may be suprised how much fun a tent can be in Disney. If you decide to do this, dont forget to rain repellent spray your tent. A lot of people don't realize this needs to be done. I would def. go though. Don't let gas prices stop you from truly enjoying the lifetime you have!
