I've never been on a ladies only trip either unless you count the last two with the daughter/her friend.
I'd love to come along, but I'm not sure how well May will work for me. We already have plans for March and I'm not sure I'll be able to afford to go again so soon. I'm a single mom and that single paycheck only stretches so far.
Hi wvnative! Okay, I'm going to give you my two cents for what it's worth.
I hear you on the money issue. Trust me. I'm not a single mom, but we are a family of 6 with one income. I'm a SAHM and while my DH is a hard worker and has supported us just fine over the years, we aren't exactly raking in the millions. LOL Things are definitely tight around here.
BUT having said that, as a mom, I think it's so important to take time for yourself. And especially as a single mom! Women, whether they work or not, do most of the work around the house. Caring for kids, cooking, shopping, making holidays special, helping with homework, meeting with teachers, making appointments and playdates, keeping track of schedules, etc. The list is endless. LOL
So I think if there's any way possible to make this happen, you should do it for yourself. There are ways to do it cheaper. Do you have an AP? If so, then that would save having to buy a ticket. We can bring water and snacks into the park, and/or eat some meals cheaply. We can stay off site, at a hotel within walking distance to avoid shuttle fees, and at one with a free breakfast. Maybe even find a roomie here on the boards to cut the room cost in half.
And even doing those things, you'd still have fun because you'd be at Disney with a bunch of other fun ladies who are just out to have a good time!!
Also there is at least 6 months between now and then to save up for it.
I'm not trying to pressure you at all, don't get me wrong. I just think if someone wants to go, I hope they are able to find a way to make it happen. We all deserve a break and to just go off, have fun, and come back refreshed, with some new friends!
Good luck with your decision.
