I think the answer to the question of when Disneyworld was has been found by someone who pointed it out to me. And the answer really only takes a second to realize, and may stun you. Or, maybe you'll think i'm the crazy one for not realizing this before; which would also be entirely appropriate :-)
.
Disneyworld not only happened in February, it proves the writers remembered Jesse & Becky's anniversary after all. Because, *even in a 3-day weekend*, when there's a leap year involved, if a date is on a weekend, 2 years earlier the date falls on a weekday.
I'm sure you're thinking, "what on earth...?" But, stay with me for a moment. Becky says their anniversary is that weekend. Not some week, not a certain day, that weekend. Okay, Saturday or Sunday, right? Even if it's a 3-day weekend and she means Monday, their anniversary was on a different day of the week when they got married in 1991. That part is obvious, of course a date is on a different day 2 years later.
When you go one year ahead, the date goes ahead one day. Example: Today is Wednesday, Sept. 27. Next year, Sept. 27 will be a Thursday. 365/7 leaves a remainder of 1. On leap year, of course, it advances 2 days. In 2008, 9/27 will be a Saturday.
Here's where I'm going with this. Valentine's Day was a Thursday in 1991, when Jesse and Becky married. It was a Friday in 1992. (The leap day wasn't till 2/29, so the leap is in the following year.) In 1993, Feb. 14 was on a Sunday.
2 years earlier they had to get married on a weekday, somewhere Wednesday through Friday. So, why,in the world would they suddenly pick a weekday at any other time? Getting married on a weekday is odd to begin with, but at least Valentine's Day is a legitimate excuse. Except for New Years and Christmas, and maybe Thanksgiving for some ,what other weekday would anyone get married on that's not a 3-day weekend holiday? (I can't even imagine a July 4th wedding.)
It's not just school vacation instead of summer that show me; I really think the writers knew more than even I ever gave them credit for. It's just that they figured the biggest episode of the year would be the engagement, so they had to hold it till the end of the season. (Only 3 episodes have to go after 2/14, and they don't mention Danny not being engaged, so they don't violate continuity.)
At least this makes sense, but there are other times they confused things and got ages wrong. If I were a TV show producer, I'd put a calendar in at least one scene in every episode, so fans could see what day it's supposed to be. That way, if I wanted to retro something, I could. And, I could begin in June or whenever without fans wondering what happened.
