Help: need weeks worth of Vacation books - suggestions?

I would suggest books by Ted Dekker. He writes thrillers/mysteries. My favorites so far are: "Thr3e," "Skin," and "Boneman's Daughter."

"Thr3e" is the tamest of them all

"Skin" has a huge twist at the end

"Boneman's Daughter" is the most chilling

Good luck!

Yikes. TOO MUCH INPUT. I will try to get you going but I don't think I can answer all of it. I guess that in my opinion it is worth the money. I say this because we have taken our family there several times in the last 15 years. However, it is expensive. If you husband is looking for quality time with the kids, this may be a pretty special trip for you. Howeve, DON'T GET YOUR EXPECTATIONS TOO HIGH. Don't fall into the trap of planning everything down to the minute, paying for all the extras, and expecting that everything has to be perfect to be good. Don't let your expectations spoil a really good time, I guess is what I am trying to say. The first link below has some military only discounts for tickets and rooms at Disney World. I have never been one to want to use the free shuttle from offsite hotels. When we go, we stay offsite and either have our own car or a rental. We too have stayed at places with free breakfast and driven in every day. Be aware that if you drive in every day you have to pay to park ($14) each day. Note that if you fly in and stay at a Disney hotel, they will pick you up at the airport and you do not need a car. If you stay offsite, then in my opinion you need a car. The dining plan does not really SAVE you money in my opinion. You can definitely get a bargain because you can order the most expensive thing on the menus for the prepaid price. However, you would normally eat less expensive items, so it is still more money out of your pocket. Understand? See the link below for menus and prices. It will give you an idea about prices there. Note that it is getting late to book sitdown meals at popular resturants for this summer. Your airline tickets are going to be the potential budget buster. They are likely to be more than $1200. So, just to start the budget I would go to the disney site and work your way through the booking engine to get a price. You can cancel so you don't really do it. Note that the value resorts is what you want to book on your budget. (mine too by the way) While you are in there play with the ticket price calculator. You will see that after about 4 days, the additional cost per day goes way down. Just keep that in mind when trying to figure out that pricing sweet spot for your family. Then, you can do the same thing with whatever budget airline serves your local area. This should get you a real good idea on the budget. From there, you can tweak things, or ask more questions. Sorry for the lack of a full response, but this is really big.
