Second week in February! I'm so stinkin' excited! I can't decide if it's more excitement over the destination (since I've never been) or the fact that I don't have to be at work for a whole week.
Jenny & Dylan will be there the same week, but I don't anticipate seeing them much, since they're on vacay too. I thought at some point we might get together for a lunch or something to mutually revel in the Disney-ness. I imagine the conversation might go something like this:

Abby & JT: Hey guys!
Jenny & Dylan: Hey!
A & J: How's it going?
J & D: Well, Disney World is pretty f-ing awesome.
A & J: I know, right? Disney World is totally the coolest.
J & D: We're starvin' like Marvin. You wanna eat?
A & J: Sure.
*Munch Lunch Munch*
A & J: Allright, well, we'll catch ya on the fliptastic.

5. Earned free cruise
JT and I earned a free cruise by going to a "Short, 90-minute presentation" on a time share vacation facility on Lake Conroe (aka "Piney Woods Paradise"). Our appointment was at 12:30, so we decided to get there a little early so as not to miss our appointment--a point that the guy on the phone was adamant about not missing. An hour and a half later, we finally got someone to take us on the tour. He said, "Hope you haven't been waiting long."
"Well," we said, "actually we have."
"Oh, no! Well, don't worry. I'm one of the fastest guys out here," he assured us.
After a questionnaire, a walk-thru, and alot of sell!sell!sell!, we finally took the tour. After the tour and some more sell!sell!sell!, we got back to the clubhouse to listen to the financials. We weren't buying--too expensive. Our sales guy handed us off to his skeezy "manager" for some more sales pitching and "special offers" (at this point, I find it necessary to point out that our salesman was really a nice guy and good at sales. His "manager" was pretty slimy.) Still, no go. We were then handed off to a third guy (the manager's "manager") who tried to hand us a rock-bottom offer. Dude. Seriously. We are poor.
So, that guy kicked us to the curb and pointed us in the direction of the "losers' room" where we could get our "free gift." But, just as we stepped on the doormat, a trapdoor opened up and we fell into a pit full of hungry alligators! And poisonous snakes!!
...Just kidding about that last part, but I wouldn't have been surprised. Anyway, we got a cruise in which we have to pay port fees of $128 per person, but I think it's a steal for a 4-day cruise to Cozumel. If you've got iron-clad reserve, I would totally recommend doing it for a free/cheap vacation...but forget that "90-minute" crap. We were outta there in no fewer than 5 1/2 hours--but it was worth it (mostly to see the disappointment on their faces when they didn't sucker us.)
