Thrifty Thursday: Disney Lovers Buy the Farm to Save on Gas for Disney Vacation!

Big Smiles... we are 245 miles closer to Disney World!

We have done it ~ Steve and I have bought the farm (literally) and moved to central west Georgia from North Alabama to save gas when we go to Disney. Really.  Our old address in New Hope, AL (just south of Huntsville, AL), was 617 miles (9 ½ hours without traffic) from our favorite resort, Disney’s Boardwalk Villas.  By buying our little mini-farm in Butler, GA, we have reduced the trip to 372 miles (5 ½ hours without traffic).  That’s 245 miles closer to Disney!  Now if you consider that gas currently is about $2.19/gallon and my Tahoe gets approximately 18 miles to the gallon, it will take about 40 gallons round trip as opposed to the former 68 gallons.  Why that’s a savings of 28 gallons per trip = $61.32 savings!  When Steve got this offer to come back to Georgia, we did consider that it would put us closer to family; we also have been blessed to find our dream home that fits us better than we could have hoped, but the deciding factor was we are now 245 miles closer to Mickey!  So last week, we packed up two 26’ moving trucks, my Tahoe loaded with our pets (5 dogs, 3 cats, and 20 exotic birds) with a 16’ trailer loaded with bird cages, and my Mom’s Lincoln to caravan from North Alabama to our new home and life in central west Georgia.  Read more
