We're going to Orlando for a few days afterward.  Not my favorite city, but we can stay there "free" ...
After looking at ticket and flight prices for the Natty game, i passed on it and went with booking Orlando (disney & seaworld) for my family. It's really not my favorite city either. I personally think it's WAY overhyped. That being said, I'm at a stage in life trying to put my opinion second to creating memories my kids will love.

Man I hear ya, but I looked at the expense of taking the kids to Disney World and just decided that those are memories they're going to have to live without! :)

We did a couple week-long beach vacations in Mexico for less than just a few days at Disney.  It's insane.

I totally get that.. One of the only reasons I'm good with it is two of my wife's good couple friends both moved to that area so it's a mix of the parks and seeing good friends otherwise i'd pass. My kids enjoy Seaworld far more than Disney. I'm just checking the box for their younger years. A few more years and they will have to fall in love with the beach. Living in Cleveland, i'm budgeting more for trips.. my body keeps telling me I need more natural sunlight and there's NONE from late november until May here.

OK.. what secret part of Cleveland are you in? I'd like to sneak in. I'll bring some breakfast bourbon as a thank you.. Also a Championship sweatshirt with an M on it

Disney World can suck it. Multiple trips to pristine beaches, countless campouts, and the State Fair of Texas every year, are much much more important.

yeah i take the cold and sunny over this 31-35 and gloomy and rainy every day garbage.

If stuff hits the fan, i got you covered with TP lol.. Costco had a good sale on TP yesterday and I loaded up.. It's an election year so I just bought a ton of water and TP because i'm just waiting for crazy to start.  It may cost you one Go Blue though.. even if it's a whisper.

I agree, but my daughters and ex would disagree

My Purdue buddy who moved to NC a couple years back came to visit (his wife is from here and her family still is) for the first time since they had kids. I think the kids are 4 and 2 now. They ended up doing Disneyland. 

We met them (w/o the kids) for dinner and drinks one night and my first question was "Was there crying? It's not a real Disneyland trip if a kid doesn't cry."

Well, it was indeed a real Disneyland trip. 

I hate that place.
