POLL: Party or Vacation?
My family really wants to do something for me for my college graduation, since it's been such a hard bunch of years, and since I didn't have an e-party, a sweet 16 or a HS grad party, it was always said I'd have a college grad party. Now that we're back to a 2007? wedding, it's not like it's piggybacking a wedding or showers or bach parties.
So the two ideas are
1) Have a party with family and friends...I havent made the list, but it would probably be about 60 people...dinner at a nice restaraunt.
or
2) My family(me, FH, Mom, Sis, BIL) would go to Disney for a long weekend or a week. My aunt and cousins (who we havent seen in a few years) are going in June, so we would meet up with them hopefully. Out of everyone going, FH and I are the only ones who have ever been to WDW, so it should be exciting.
Another thing, is that if I say I want the party, it'll most likely happen, but the vacation will be harder to plan. The vacation may wind up being cheaper because between FH and my BIL we have a LOT of FF miles, and if we went, FH and I would get Annual Passes and use our discount for the rooms for everyone.
Which would you rather do? Celebrate with extended family, or go on a vacation w/ immediate family?
Or maybe I should hve the party, get gifts, and use that money to go to disney after.. JK!
ETA I have no idea where anyone's getting the $$ for this, so neither may actually happen. But I'm really torn, if we can do one, which one to do!

That's true, and it's not like we won't go to disney, we're going for our honeymoon, whenever that may be. But I have alwyas wanted to go to Disney with my family, and they could all really usea vacation

I voted for a vacation -- I don't like my extended family THAT much  No just kidding, the trip sounds like it would be a very special time and I know that you just love it there.

Re: POLL: Party or Vacation?
I voted for Disney since I've had a couple of family renunions there and they are always a blast!!
Just a suggestion. Every other year we try to have a family reunion at disney. We've found it much cheaper to rent a vacation home than staying at disney since there's so many of us. With a little bit of research, we were able to find a 6 bedroom house complete with heated pool and all the amenities for $1000. All the adults end up paying $100 each to stay in a ginormous house for a week. At disney, you'd end up paying $100 a night. If you'd like more info, fm me.

Be careful relying on the AP discount for rooms - they've changed the process significantly (unless they changed it back).

I haven't looked into it in awhile. I don't know what the new system is. I guess I'll have to check it out. The last time I looked into it was when i was planning a trip for last may which I cancelled. i think that was just before all the changes.

Re: POLL: Party or Vacation?
This is a tough one.....I can see pluses to both sides. I would probably choose the party though since Disney you can go to anytime. (pretty much)

Re: POLL: Party or Vacation?
I'm for a party, but I am not a big fan of travelling with groups of people. I get aggrevated with all the scheduling and trying to get too many people ready for meals and such.

I vote for Disney. To me, a party lasts a couple of hours, the vacation lasts a couple of days.
When you do get married, thats another big party with your extended family.
Go See Mickey.
