We're not planning another WDW vacation until 2018. All for good reasons. We didn't do our planned Grand Canyon trip this year, and did something smaller instead. So, Grand Canyon is next year's plan, with WDW the following year. After going both in 2014 and 2015, we're good with this. Mostly.

Since my DD12 and I are wondering if we'll die waiting that long to go back, I was thinking of doing a little stopover on our way down to see family, like we did back in 2012. We stayed a couple nights at the AoA, went to the Christmas party and did some mini-golf. It was a great little fix.

But, looking at ticket prices for this year was an eye opener! I want to say we paid around $70 per ticket in 2012? Am I imagining that? Now it's around $90 and that's nearly as much as a day pass to the park. I don't know if I could easily sell that plan to DH!!
