It is currently 387.69 miles from my front door to the front gates of the happiest place on earth. That is 5 hours and 58 minutes of drive time which is nothing. I find myself asking, "why don't I go more often?" The number one reason would be my financial situation. When I was a nanny and my pass was free, it was much easier to make random trips to Disneyland. Now it is a much larger commitment. A large group of people are planning a trip to California for Spring break. The trip will include the following...
1) DISNEYLAND!
2) A baseball game in San Diego
3) DISNEYLAND!
4) The beach
5) DISNEYLAND!
6) Shopping
7) DISNEYLAND!
8) Possible night in Vegas
9) DISNEYLAND!
Amazing right! How can I possibly pass this up. The last time I went to Disneyland it was extremely eventful. It included yummy soup, ex-boyfriends, cute mountain man ride operators, a random lady on the bus you could poor your heart out to, and a ridiculous young man who had to get home to "buy a new shirt" aka stalk his ex. Friendships were strengthened, friendships were destroyed... it was the most glorious three days possible. So now I need to figure out how I can make this new trip happen. What can I say, I am addicted to Disneyland. I tried to find an online support group but there is not currently one in existence. Maybe I will start one. Realistically I know I can't go. We would leave exactly one month after I get home from NYC which means that in one month I would have to save a good $600, plus enough to cover the money that I won't be making over spring break. It is pretty much attempting the impossible. But I believe that when your goal is a worthy one (which Disneyland always is) anything can happen. So here are some of the ways I plan on considering to make some extra cash.
Random Crap #6
Disneyland, here I com...?
1) Garage Sale
2) Organizing Closets
3) Baby-sit
4) Sell Plasma (Sorry Jon)
5) Sell my hair ($300-$900)
6) Join a clinical trial
7) Finally sell all the aprons I have lying around my house
8) Get a paper route (4am... worth it?)
9) Online poker
10) Recycle
11) Turn my parents house into a bed and breakfast
12) Lemonade stand/Bake sale
While I know that most of these are unrealistic and won't come close to helping me reach my goal, it's worth a shot. I had a small ray of hope the other day when I was offered a babysitting job that would finance my trip, only to have it ripped away less than 24 hours later (thanks for crushing my dreams). So I am back at square one and in need of more suggestions. Any Ideas?
