Walt Disney World Vacation
Taking a family vacation can make things tricky and exhausting. Just getting the basics arranged can cause stress. Take a four day trip to Walt Disney World; it can be a lot more to plan than you think when you live a few states away. Luckily, I have the coolest stepmother ever; she has planned a whole trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, and has agreed to take me and my 3 year old daughter.
I just can’t believe how excited and dedicated my stepmother is to going on this trip. When she first announced it, I was so excited.

Tickets may be used October 1, 2012 through September 28, 2013. For just $28, plus tax, more, the Water Park Fun & More option may be added” (Walt). This information just put a huge chunk of cash back into our vacation account. So our vacation had gotten better.
This money revelation gave my stepmother even more ideas for the perfect vacation. The thought of driving to Orlando from Fort Worth was really a turn off. What was the
