[RickinNYC]

We've already made reservations to go down in April so that we can be there same time as my other half's little niece and her family. Not 100% sure we'll follow through with it but it's a good likelihood.

[TuckandStuiesMom]

A whole herd of us the last week in March. Ooooooohhhh! I can hardly wait!:goodvibes

[hematite153]

Jan--with DW's whole family

Sept--romantic trip full of signature dining with bounce-back discounted deluxe dining.

[CRZYINNJ]

Looking at the begining of May for us! :banana: Can't wait!

[I<3EvilQueen]

We (my friends) and I, have plans to be in the world in Feb 08

[mari360]

Planning on May 08.... DISNEY Here we come.....

[insoin]

Cool cool. Hopefully the list will grow some more as time goes along.

[tig82174]

Hey all....

I rarely ever post on these boards....I'm a total lurker (there are too many threads for me to keep up with consistently so I mostly post to the cruise meet threads for itineraries we've booked! :lmao: )

Anyhow....my hubby and I are going in Sept. 2008, too. The plan right now is to stay at AKL Villas (our first time staying at our newest "home" resort since we bought that contract past May). We'll be there Sept. 18th through 27th and then on the 27th we're getting aboard the Magic for the Double Dip Cruise---a 7 night Western cruise with 2 stops at Castaway Cay!

[PghLybrt]

We will be there in themiddle on Jan!

Its myself and my girl, my mom and my sister in law and 2 nephews!

I am so excited. The last time I went with my nephews they were a couple of months and a year and a half old! This time they are 4 and 5i!

[rpmdfw]

We're locals. So we'll be in the parks all year long.

That said, we'll be checking into Disney resorts twice in 2008. Once for a couple nights during Gay Days and then again in late September for our Disney Commitment Ceremony, or as I refer to it: "Our Big Fat Gay Disney Wedding.":lmao:

We're also doing a 3 night Disney Cruise the weekend after the ceremony.

[PennyW]

We'll be coming in on May 17, for 6 nights! :) It's been MUCH too long since our last visit!

Erik! Welcome! And don't lurk, post! Everyone is welcome here.

[Saxton]

I usually go down about 5 or 6 times a year ... blame it on family in the area and DVC (it makes it too easy!!). So far next year I've only got my March trip booked, staying at AKV. Typically I go down in March, May, October, December and then whenever I throw another trip in. May & December I usually take my Mom down, the other trips are either with someone or solo.

And since I leave tomorrow I shouldn't even be posting here, I need to pack!

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

December of 08, it's looking like we are going to be there from the 10th to the 19th! Two of our best WDW trips have been during the holiday season and I can't wait to do it again. We have gone to WDW a total of 6 times together. My partner has been about 100 times and I have been about a dozen times in my lifetime. I just can't get enough.

[tig82174]

Erik! Welcome! And don't lurk, post! Everyone is welcome here.

Thanks for the welcome....I'm very active on my two other main threads (The Eastbound TransAtlantic thread from this past summer and the Double Dip thread for next fall).....so I'm not a TRUE lurker.....it's just if I get involved in too many threads it becomes a full time job to keep up because I get too chatty!!! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[tig82174]

Hoping for December of 08! We won't be there this December and we weren't there last December. However, two of our best WDW trips have been during the holiday season and I can't wait to do it again.

Jason and I are going this December....our first every Holiday trip to WDW so we're super excited! :banana: :banana: In fact it's a big year of Disney firsts for us because we're doing our first ever trip to DisneyLand in CA the first week of Nov. and then our first Holiday time trip to WDW the first week of Dec.!

[PeterPan]

As of right now I have a week long trip planned for the last week of Sept for sure... thinking about going a couple other times too though :)

[OrlandoMike]

FYI everyone,

I snuck over the other day and rode the Haunted Mansion...

Boy have you got a treat in store for you!

It's still the haunted mansion, but kicked up a notch!:thumbsup2

And for those of you comming this month, Main Street is absolutly beautiful with the Halloween Decor, I'll try to get back and take some pics for everyone!

Dad

[Strikan]

We are all booked for April 24 to May 4 - can't wait. It's going to be a great way to try to forget that I hit 40 on May 2 - not sure how that came along so fast - yikes!!!!

[2disneydads]

We'll be staying at one of our DVC homes, Animal Kingdom Villas, March 15-20 with our daughters (4 and 2). Then, we'll be back in the fall for the Playhouse Disney Live and Epcot International Food and Wine Festival. We'll miss the festival this year for friends' civil union, but we try to go every year for that. Another DLC cruise in sights for 2009!

[rbthntschl]

We've planned for Gay Days and mid-Aug, 2008. The Aug trip will be 1 of 2 things, either my parents over their wedding anniversary (they were last in Disney in 1977, that is not a typo) or my neice and her aunt on her father's side, who is a good friend and my knitting buddy (yes, I said knitting. I am a scarf ace, say hello to my needle, friend :rotfl2: ).

Luv 'n' Stuff,

Yes I got to see it on the 14th of Sept, I really liked it.

[MAYNARDS99]

Me and the other half are going down in early May, super discounted (medical conference) rates at Yacht Club. Looking forward to ExEver, V&A, and sorry die hards - Aquatica! As a hotel architecture buff, hoping to get glimpses of the CR DVC and of course, the new Four Seasons and Waldorf hotels.

[cag4nyg]

I am a lurker too. I have worked for Disney twice here in CA.

My wife and I are looking to go in late march or earily April. We have gone the last two years the end of april.

This year we will be staying at a DVC as we bought it last time we were there and i was a cast member. =)

It will be the two of us and our 1 year old son and almost ( a couple of weeks shy) 3 year old daughter, maybe even the kids godmother not sure yet.

Heather

[TuckandStuiesMom]

Hi cag4nyg --
This is a fun, fun, fun, kind, adorable, fun board -- Check out some of Mike's (we calls him MR. Dad) links. (He is now our all powerful grand high wazoo moderator and I noticed he did a little gentle "cleaning" on one of the other threads.:rotfl2: )The Nancy Sinatra one he put up today is a hoot. Those boots are SO not made for walking, Mike.

Anywho...please feel free to de-lurk and just jump on in.

[snowman]

I have put the deposit down on our Dec 23-30th, 2008 trip. Christmas with the mouse - life will be good (and crowded).

[StormTigger]

Don't have any trips planned ... YET... but...

MOM!... DAD!... UNCIE RICK!! Can you pin this thread to the top?!

(I just love saying that)

Thanks,

[OrlandoMike]

SURE!

Now how does all this magic stuff work again?

Hey now that was easy!

Watch out kids!

Hmm. There are SO MANY ways to misinterpret that! :rotfl2:

[OrlandoMike]

Geesh what is it with you kids and the double entendres?:confused3

[TuckandStuiesMom]

Don't point that thing over this way!:rotfl2:

[bransworld]

I will be staying at OKW for the week of 4/19-4/26/08.

[zipadee4]

My bf and I are going Jan 26-Feb 2 '08 with my brother and his family! Can't wait!:cool1: It'll be their first time, so it should be a good time....it's always fun to introduce them to the magic of Disney for the first time :)

[insoin]

Oh look, this is a sticky now. Woohoo:dance3:

[insoin]

I guess it would help if I spelled sticky right huh.... oh well :confused3

[ConcKahuna]

I have dyslexia, so I never spell anything right. It looked fine to me even before the edit!! LOL

[SparklieSunShine]

Hello everyone! I've been on the boards before, but it was quite a while ago.

My GF and I will be going on a Disney cruise to Costa Maya leaving October 28, 2008. Woo! We'll probably also be staying a few days in a Disney resort to go to the parks.

We just decided yesterday and booked the tickets so I am THRILLED. I knew I had to get back on the boards ASAP. :goodvibes

[Lazeric]

Hello Everyone;

My family (13 yo daughter and her two dad's) are heading to Port Canaveral for our second Disney Cruise. Last time St. Thomas and St. Maarten, this time Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Key West.

We are yearly travelers to Disney World (except this past year, we had our civil union), and can't wait to get down to the cruise in April.

If anyone is is going to be on doard, please let eus know...and if you do and have a teenager going with you, let us know that too, please

Eric. Jason and Becca

:dance3:

[insoin]

Well, it is offical, I have the family trip in June. So I get to go twice next year. :banana:

[ConcKahuna]

What time of June? Are you comming down during the "festivities"?

[insoin]

What time of June? Are you comming down during the "festivities"?

Ha, no my BF and I wanted to, but I was afraid it would shock the grand parents to much LOL :rotfl: Just kidding, the entire family is cool.

But the real reason we are not coming down till the 14th-22nd is that one of the people is a teacher and she didn't want to go down any earlier.

I so want to go that first weekend in June sometimes.

[feistyblue]

I'm hoping to come in January for 14 nights. It will just be me and DS (9) now that I have split up with my GF. So if any of you are there are see a crazy, very straight looking Brit smiling at all the lovely gay couples - that will be me :goodvibes

Actually I smile at all the nice Americans because I just love you all. :goodvibes

[lillielil]

We're going with the mother-in-law in September :)

[PeterPan]

Well after they announced passholder discounts for Jan/Feb and P&P party dates for Jan/Feb/March I called down... bought an annual pass and made reservations for the first weekend in feb in addition to my sept trip... I will probably end up going at least one other time next year now that I will have an annual pass =x Will be the first year I have gone more then once to the world (have been to Disneyland a few times in the same year before but not WDW)... should be a fun year!

[Si'sAm]

My DW and I are going from Oct 28- Nov 6. It is going to be a family trip, we are going with my parents (who started my disnease), my sister, and my DW's dad and stepmom. We are so excited!! Only a year out now!

Woohoo!

It'll be good to see you again, and maybe this time I'll be awake enough to go to PI!

[Rysar]

The BF and I are definately planning on GayDays 08, and probably in Feb as well. We're bagging the October trips, as we got burned this year with crowds and general public rudeness.

[PeterPan]

Cool cool, when in Sept are you going?

I will be down there Sept 20-28th... hopefully will get a non-rained out MNSSHP this time! I just booked my plane tickets for Feb so now everything is set for that trip =D

Woohoo!

It'll be good to see you again, and maybe this time I'll be awake enough to go to

Yes, we will definitely have to get together again!


OT: Rysar... your in Herndon? I'm almost next door in Sterling/Dulles :)

[Rysar]

OT: Rysar... your in Herndon? I'm almost next door in Sterling/Dulles :)

Yep, though right now, I'd love to see Herndon, stuck in Orlando's airport at the moment with a delayed flight back to Dulles... though we're sitting beside the director of Disney Games Online :)

[PeterPan]

Doh! Well... I'd rather be in Orlando right now =p but not stuck in the airport! :P At least you have an interesting person sitting next to you! If I was in your spot I would probably be trying to get a job =p

Good luck getting back soon!

[Rysar]

haha, well Disney outsources all their IT functions, so no chance of that happening...

Ah well... I know a few people at Casting, so I would just get a job in the park in one of the TS places.

They only hire servers on as part-time, but still not a bad gig if you can get in.

Were you at the first MNSSHP? I was and man did it rain!!!! I will be there next Sept, from teh 17th to the 28th with my BF. Maybe we can all do a Sept meet for those of us that will be there.

Yeah, I was at the first MNSSHP :\ I had gone last year for the first time and loved it so much I wanted to go back... still was a great time... but the rain prevented some things I wanted to see from happening... hopefully will be two parties while I am there and hopefully at least one of them will be rain free =p We had a small meet while I was there and it was great to meet everyone... definitely up for doing one again :)

That is exactly what I'm planning on. Going to two parties next year and hope that at least one is not rained out. I knew there was a meet last Sept, but I was not able to make it :mad: We will have to start planning one....

Land/sea on the Wonder!!:banana:

[joanjett1976]

We are kicking off 2008 in style at Disneyland .....but the big trip is: Last 2 weeks of May at POP Century.

[insoin]

Well bad news, it looks like I may not be able to make the Sept trip I have planned next year. My DBF just started a new position in his company, and he is not allowed to take off from Sept till the end of the year. What a yucky thing to have to deal with.

So unless he gets a new job at a different company (which he has been looking for a while) we wont be able to go till Feb 09 :eek: :headache: But we have till early Aug to cancel the trip, so we are gonna just wait and see if he gets a new job between now and then......

How exciting! Your first DCL trip!

My hubby and I are cruising in Sept. on the Double Dip on Sept. 27th.....there is a thread (that's been stagnant for a while) called "Gay Couples on Disney Cruises" or something...maybe post there....also look at Cruise meet threads and see if there is a thread yet for your cruise. If so, even though it isn't a queer-specific thread, post a hello there and just introduce yourselves. you'll be surprised if you don't get some replies right on the boards from the more open-minded and welcoming cruisers and often other queer couples will PM you to say Hi. Jason and I go on a cruise almost annually----and we have yet to be the only queer couple on board...and have actually made some our best friends (queer and otherwise) on these boards and then aboard the ship!!

Have a great cruise!!

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

DH, DS11 & I will be at AKL Aug. 1-10, and BC Aug. 10-17.:)

We always enjoy meeting other DISers!

[BarleyJack]

The other one and I will be there for our first REAL vacation as a couple in just 25 days! Arriving 1/18/08 for one added on night at POP, then over to POR until the 26th...can't wait! :banana:

Ditto to Erik's reply--we met them in May on the Transatlantic DCL, and they are some of our best friends as well!

'08--One marathon park hopping day at WDW 2/1, then on the Eastern Caribbean cruise 2/2-2/9

September/October Double Dip cruise (can't remember the exact dates offhand) with hopefully a few WDW days prior.

How does one go about appeasing these tiki gods?

[hematite153]

Everyone has to remember to visit me, or the Tiki Gods may get angry :snooty:


Is there a lounge at the Poly that has TVs? My DW and I were planning a day of bus roulette for Jan 20th (since her family arrives and we will be tied down scheduling-wise on the 21st). But, then she noticed that it was NFL Championship weekend and wants to watch football. I can probably restrict her to the AFC game.

So, we'll go back to the resort if needed. But, if there's a good lounge somewhere, we'd head for it--and I'd get to say 'hi' to you.

I tried posting this question on the Resorts board but only got information about pool bars which are usually smoking areas.

So, since you're looking for visitors, I thought I'd ask here. :)

There is a TV at the lounge near Ohana. It gets pretty crowded there with the restaurant right next door though. I also work mornings, so I'm out of here before kickoff :goodvibes

It's good to know there's a TV, sad that you'll be gone though.

Does "mornings" mean before noon? I doubt we'll make it out too early that day since we arrive late the night before, but, if we end up nearby, I'll try to say hello.

[ConcKahuna]

I normally head backstage to cash out at about 2pm. Most of the time I am in the Tonga suites building, but sometimes I am in Hawaii.

Even though I am by far a light weight when it comes to drinkin'... I know I couldn't drink around the world... so I just decide to eat around the world...

Think "Velociraptor with feathers".

[I<3EvilQueen]

The Mexican Salted Plum Sucker? Sounds like a rare breed of bird.

that was a good one... I never thought of that. I must be slowing down after my last birthday

[BarleyJack]

I"m sure you're just ancient lol

Nah, Just drinking all the diet soda I have been over the last year and a half has made me start to forget things ;-)

I can't tell you how many times I have forgotten to zip up my pants before heading to work in the morning :-)

Not us, but I know of at least one member on this board is bound to be. Have a great trip!

[FigmentGuy]

Count us in for Sept 10th-20th. We'll be staying at the CBR. Just the two of us, I can't wait!

Hi Everybody :wave2: -- Please jump on in; this is a great lil corner of cyberspace!:goodvibes

[StormTigger]

Okay... so I'm really bored today and decided that since we've almost got our dates confirmed for 2008, I'd check this thread to see who'd be down there when. And then I decided since I really have nothing better to do (well I do, but I'm not sure I'm ready to officially tackle my other projects yet) I'd make up a listing of who's going when so people can see and possibly plan any impromptu meets etc. Anyway, so I'm going thru the posts and realize most of you don't have actual dates for your trips. Long story short.. here is the list of who's going to be Disney'ing when. If I missed anyone please let me know. Also if you want me to add your actual dates you can post them or PM them to me and I'll keep this post updated as best I can.

My partner, our two boys (4) and (6) and I will be traveling with DCL on the Disney Magic during Spring Break March 15-March 22. First time DCL trip for all of us and everyone is really excited! pirate:

[TuckandStuiesMom]

We will be there 3/21 -- 3/29 10 -- maybe 12 of us. The boys and I will be tenting @ FW. Woo-hoo! Can hardly wait!:goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes

I guess I forgot to add myself to this list...

I loooooovveee FW. I worked there for 3 years and it's still one of my favorite places.

Are you in a partial hook-up site? If so, the 1500 loop is great because it puts you right near the Meadows area. It does back up to the 1600 loop, so you will be near a pet loop. Most pets that camp are very well behaved though, and I havent ever heard anyone in 1500 complain.

I love the Fort too -- my all-time dream job would be to be the pony wrangler.

We are actually going to be staying at one of the preferred sites (so we'd get cable -- I made this ressie waaaaay back before the writer's strike and was afraid I'd miss an episode of "Lost". Pitiful -- huh? :happytv: It's still all good -- cause I like the resort station too -- WDW music! Oooooh!). I requested loop 100 or 200 so we'd be close to the beach and the fireworks (I'll be baby-sitting some number of grandchildren at least one night and it would great to be able to walk back from the fireworks instead of taking a bus.) A request is just a request so who knows what'll happen. I'm sure it will be fun -- no matter where we end up.:goodvibes

You are right about the pet-loops. I ended up in one on my last visit and it was fine! Everybody's pups were super-friendly -- getting licked-half-to-death was the only hazard that I encountered. :)

I am going to be cooking several nights -- you, Mr. Mike, and anybody else for that matter are certainly welcome to join us. I would totally love to put faces to names!

[OrlandoMike]

Whats for dinner? I do loves me some BBQ!:woohoo:

[ConcKahuna]

The 100 and 200 loops are great, although since they are part of the origional campsites (the resort opened with 200 or so sites iirc), they don't have a very big coquina pad. They are also very popular!! 600, as well as 500 (pet overflow) and 700 (pet loop) are also very close to the settlement, and make great backups if 100 and 200 are full.

And I'll eat anything cooked on a grill. When dining at a campground however, s'mores are the required desert.

[Timrobb]

just booked 9/27 - 10/1 adults only at akl cong. level!

so, we will be there with dd 3/4 - 3/9 poly and
9/27 - 10/01 akl cong.

yeah!

[TuckandStuiesMom]

Whats for dinner? I do loves me some BBQ!:woohoo:

...s'mores are the required desert.

Both are on our projected menus. Hope you guys will be able to make it. :thumbsup2

[danwis]

Me, my boyfriend and our 2 yr old son will be going to WDW April 25-29th.
I can't wait!
Any other guys with children going to be there that time?

[DearDaisyinDurham]

We're thinking Sep 23-26 at Beach then Sep26-30 at BWV.

[DearDaisyinDurham]

Jan--with DW's whole family

Sept--romantic trip full of signature dining with bounce-back discounted deluxe dining.

September trip sounds lovely:lovestruc

My DP, Deni, has NEVAH been to WDW - how ridiculous is that I ask you? I am mending the error of her ways and have booked the GF May 21 -26. Can't wait....can't wait....I'm geauxing back to Disney!!!

[TuckandStuiesMom]

Have a GREAT time!:thumbsup2

[dug10367]

I've started planning for my favorite time of year to be around the parks. We might get a chance to slip away for a a few days in the summer, but will definately plan Fort Wilderness Campground for the following:
OCT 12-17 EPCOT FOOD & WINE FEST/ HALLOWEEN PARTY pirate:
DEC 07-12 CHRISTMAS PARTY / PARADE TAPE?? :santa:
JAN 04-08 BIRTHDAY/CASTLE DINNER :woohoo:

I wll make day trips down tere for dinner at least once or twice a month, but won't get the chance to stay there until the fall. :sad2:

[TammieLand]

We're locals. So we'll be in the parks all year long.

That said, we'll be checking into Disney resorts twice in 2008. Once for a couple nights during Gay Days and then again in late September for our Disney Commitment Ceremony, or as I refer to it: "Our Big Fat Gay Disney Wedding.":lmao:

We're also doing a 3 night Disney Cruise the weekend after the ceremony.

Lucky!! Congratulations on your ceremony! Disney sounds like the most delightful venue. Deni and I are doing our ceremony in New Orleans during the French Quarter Fest. Another one of the "happiest places on earth"..<g>

We are leaving June 6th for 2 weeks in Florida. A week staying onsite at WDW (SSR) and a week at my sisters who leaves just East of Orlando. We'll be hotting beaches, Universal, SeaWorld/Aquatica etc the second week.

DP and I are going on a belated Disneymoon Sept 6th thru the 13th as well.

[zeitzeuge]

My partner and I are still toying with the idea of going to Disneyworld as well this year. (We just got back from Disneyland). Which should we do? Gayday at WDW or Christmas time at WDW? We want to experience both.

[RickinNYC]

Joe and I will definitely be at WDW from April 21-27, staying at the Dolphin!

Going to be escorted by our 10yr old niece for the first couple of days so we do what SHE wants all the way! :thumbsup2 The last couple of days, we're going to be spending time with Joe's kid sister, her husband and their tiny little newborn son. We likely won't do much if anything with parks when they're around. It's just so we can meet the newest addition and have some much needed family time.

Yup! I already told Joe that I was going to need some grown-up time even if he couldnt' come. Actually, I said, "You do know I'm going to have to ditch you at night so Rick can have some cocktails?" He's cool widdat!

Don't be silly, we all know this season is all about fuscia and peach!



The best kind of shoes to express bold views
Are strapless mules in assertive hues
Like fuscia or peach, except on the beach,
In which case you wear flats!

The best kind of clothes for a protest pose
Is this ensemble of pantyhose
Pulled over the shorts, worn under the skirt
That doubles as a cape.

Speaking of girly shoes, Mr. Mike -- I've got on my brand new bright pink plastic mary-jane crocs. I think I luv'em even more than the original clogs. Mud and horse poop hose right off!:rotfl:

Then that smaller orb that is to the right of the planet, must be the glorious sun that it revolves around!

Though, honestly, I think Rick looks much better in that picture than I do. Are my eyes open all the way? Are my ears really that big? Did we have to wear the same exact shirt in two different shades of blue? What's UP?

As I recall that picture was taken after SEVERAL drinks, so I'm suprised Rick looks as chipper as he does :rotfl2:

And with my lack of fashion radar, I never even noticed you 2 had the same shirt on ;)

By any chance is anyone going the last week of May (right after memorial day?). I just booked a trip for that time :woohoo:. I wanted to try Gay Days but this was much more doable schedule-wise. Anywho, if anyone is going to be around maybe a trip to Mannequins on the Thursday of that week? Did I get that right?

Bummer! We'll be down the 17th - 22nd, so we'll just miss crossing paths. We haven't been since 2006, so we're very antsy to get back! Have fun!

[POPCENTURY59]

Hey...
I was interested in knowing if any of you will be staying at the POPCENTURY june6/7 and going to the BEACHBALL PARTY @ typhoon lagoon on the 6th and the 1MIGHTYPARTY @ hollywood studios on the 7th...

thanks

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

I'm going next month! :yay:

I will be there to play in the parks on 04/19 and leave on 04/22. I can not wait! :banana:

[MomsOf2boys]

We are going September 21-26 and staying at AKL with our DS 12, & 17. We talked some friends of ours into coming as well so we will be a group of 7 as their 18 DS will be in tow as well.

[mickeem]

I Can't believe it, But we have booked for December 08- Heck it's only 9 months away.... Staying at the Polynesian, our favorite, and cannot wait- although I dont want summer to come and go too fast!!!

:yay: :yay: :yay:

[gppnj]

My next trip to Walt Disney World is in September. I was supposed to go to Disneyland this past February, and I was supposed to go to Walt Disney World next month. However, I had to cancel both trips because of illness in my family. So that's why my September WDW trip is fairly long - 10 nights, counting the three nights at Disney's Vero Beach resort. That'll probably be my only vacation this year, so I wanted to make it count.

So it's Vero Beach Sept. 3 - 6, Animal Kingdom Villas Sept. 6 - 9, and Wilderness Lodge Villas Sept. 9 - 13.

[gppnj]

Jason and I are going this December....our first every Holiday trip to WDW so we're super excited! :banana: :banana: In fact it's a big year of Disney firsts for us because we're doing our first ever trip to DisneyLand in CA the first week of Nov. and then our first Holiday time trip to WDW the first week of Dec.!

You're very lucky to have met someone who shares your love for Disney.

[tig82174]

You're very lucky to have met someone who shares your love for Disney.

Yes I am....although I must confess I didn't find someone who "shared" my love of Disney....I found someone completely naive to Disney and converted him! :lmao:

We're in a Disney dry spell right now that is killing us!! We haven't been back since December and don't have any plans to go again until September ourselves!! We'll be at AKL Villas (one our two DVC "homes") Sept. 19-Sept. 27th and then on the 27th we board the Magic and are going on the 7-day Western Double Dip cruise with several of our friends from last year's TransAtlantic cruise.

[OH 6]

Hi All!

We're now confirmed for Saratoga Springs - 26 Oct - 1 Nov. :banana:

This is our first time staying as DVC members and will be at our home resort. We got a 2 BR as we will be taking our best friends (CSPs) and their 1+yr old son (our nephew).:grouphug:

Already making the list of restaurants, etc to reserve in a few weeks. Also planning on doing a 'not so scary' at MK the week that we're there. pirate:

Can't wait!!

[zulemara]

my best friend's parents are paying for me to come in June!!!! I'll be there the 15th-22nd!! Their entire family is gay friendly, which is awesome. Unfortunately DBF has to stay home, but I'm sure that won't stop me from having fun. If anyone is gonna be there, PLEASE pm me! I'd LOVE to meet up!

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

I feel like I have the pixie dust fairy on speed dial!

I get to go 04/18 to 04/22.

Corey and I will celebrate our 9th Anniversary 09/26 to 09/30.

Finally, Corey and I, along with Corey's mom, will be at WDW from 12/10 to 12/19!

I have NEVER gone more than 2 times in 12 months. Usually, our trips are 15 months or more apart, so this is a real treat!

[MAF]

My vacay was just booked today! *woot!* I'll be there in Sept!!! :banana:

[momto3gr8boys]

I just booked for Aug. 25-30 for myself and my three boys! We'll be at the beach club (oh and we got free dining too -- yay!).

[RAPstar]

I'm going Sept. 7-13.......to Universal. Staying onsite at the RPR. Can't beat being in walking distance to the parks and unlimited express pass access!!! :woohoo:

[insoin]

OK I have been a slacker about reading a thread that I started and was even made into a sticky. I know the shame....:rolleyes1 :rolleyes: I have not even read the entire thread, but here is my wonderful idea. If there is not already a list of people, dates, and place they are staying on here, I will go through the list and update it on the first post. Does that sound like something everyone would like to see? If not then I will just go back to my slacker ways :confused3 If someone has already done that I will find that when I read through the thread tonight.

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

That would be very cool! I always like those sorts of lists/threads.

[insoin]

OK I added the list as best as I could in the first post. I only put on people that gave enough information of when they would be there in the post. Please check it to make sure I got it right for you. I will add people to the list as they post. Feel free to send me a PM with your dates if they are not on the list or any corrections

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Well, I am going 3 times. 04/18 to 04/22 at POR, then 09/26 to 09/30 at Poly and then we are there again 12/10 to 12/19 at ASMo, but I am hoping to bump that up with a bounceback code to OKW while I am at WDW next week.

We are leaving on Wed..couple days in Cocoa Beach, before we leave on our Western Cruise on Saturday....followed by a couple days at WDW.

It is me, my husband and our 14yo daughter....

If there is anyone else on this cruise, it would be great to know. We have traveled as a family on Disney Cruise before, and they were wonderful to us. Would recommend it to everyone in our community.

My mom and I really enjoyed Gay Days last year. This year we are going for the 4th of July (mom lives out of the U.S. so it would be a non-event if she didn't visit). We will be at Disney's All Star Movies Resort between July 4th and 11th. I know it will be crowded, but we have a family reunion directly following our week at Disney - so this time was best.
I've got my ADR's and am hoping that Thursday will still be a little gay at Pleasure Island. :banana:

[ObessedWDisneyArtist]

Hey I am knew here but my trip is in a week!!! We leave May 12th and will be returning May 31st!!! It is my first time my gf is going to Disney :) Me I have gone about 100 times haha I am a HUGE disney freak and I hope to make her one as well!

Hey I am knew here but my trip is in a week!!! We leave May 12th and will be returning May 31st!!! It is my first time my gf is going to Disney :) Me I have gone about 100 times haha I am a HUGE disney freak and I hope to make her one as well!

Very cool! :cool1:
Where are you guys staying?

[insoin]

My mom and I really enjoyed Gay Days last year. This year we are going for the 4th of July (mom lives out of the U.S. so it would be a non-event if she didn't visit). We will be at Disney's All Star Movies Resort between July 4th and 11th. I know it will be crowded, but we have a family reunion directly following our week at Disney - so this time was best.
I've got my ADR's and am hoping that Thursday will still be a little gay at Pleasure Island. :banana:

I got you on the list. So far you are the only one listed for July. So how is living in Key West? I think it would be a wonderful place to live.

I will be enjoying the World from 9/21/08 to 9/28/08. Our first visit as DVC members:banana: Unfortunately, it will only be me, nephew Gordie and Aunt Joni this time around. Both my Uncle Rob (my fellow disney fanatic) and my DP are unable to get the time off from work. Needless to say it will be weird not having my DP with us, but I think I'll survive!;)

That is nice. I've been trying to talk my husband into getting DVC, but he is not a Disny Fan like I am. He says I'm a Disney NUT! And we need to be saving not spending right now since everything is now more expensive. But I'd love to get WL or the new Kingdom Tower. Maybe when we have enough saved the KT ones will be on sale. How wonderful would that be... DVC on the monorail..... :love:

Holy Cow!!! Kingdom Tower??? They did not tell us about that. Where is that going to be? Is this the construction by the Contemporary? They told us they had no idea but they didn't think that was going to be DVC!!???

Nothing official has been announced yet. I bet Disney is waiting until AKLV is almost sold out before they make the announcement.

[insoin]

Nothing official has been announced yet. I bet Disney is waiting until AKLV is almost sold out before they make the announcement.

Correct nothing offical, but they did file paperwork/permits to sell DVC memberships at the CR in a building called Kingdom Tower. So that leads to us all being hopeful. Like Conc said, I'm sure they will not start selling till AKV is close to sold. That or the construction is done and they have to start seeing a return on investment. But I hope its not to soon, I see it being 2 years till I can pull DVC membership off. :lmao:

Hmmm...interesting. We specifically asked the question whether or not that was going to be DVC property and he said he no knowledge of a plan for it to be DVC. I am sure they can't say anything if they actually know until it is "official." With kids in our future it would be so nice to be that close to MK.

[OrlandoMike]

It's pretty common knowledge that it is DVC, even though it hasn't been announced yet.

15 stories, 4th floor bridge connecting the two towers, and rumors of another restaurant on the top floor.

[ConcKahuna]

And rumors someone may be working out that way soon :rolleyes1

[zulemara]

just wanted to throw out that on my trip June 15-22nd I will be staying at the Ft Wilderness cabins. 4 of us will be going to PI on Friday the 20th I think. If you see someone doing Thriller at 8-trax, that'd be me :cool1:

[ConcKahuna]

I love FW!! I still know people over there so let me know if you want a particular area :thumbsup2

[jlewisinsyr]

Heading back down to Disney from September 6 to September 13. We're staying at the Polynesian this time (read my review of the Grand Floridian from 2007).

We've been planning our next vacation since last year, but today, we decided to go to our travel agent. We were pretty heart set on Asia up until a few weeks ago when we started getting information from some of my contacts about visa issues and just overall political/social unrest. So we go into the see our agent and in about 10 minutes time, we booked our room at the Polynesian our Deluxe dining and park tickets.

We then went out for lunch at Panera, surfed the web a little, made some dining choices and made all of our dining reservations (love the deluxe plan with three table service credits a day). Then we came home, booked our flights and a Mercedes E class for the week.

It's going to be a really nice vacation again this year! We were lucky to get some really nice dining reservations at places we really wanted to eat at, with only one place being a problem (Cinderella's Castle - which is pretty much a given).

So, look for the bleach blonde boy and me walking around the parks in a few months.

[MickeyDee]

I'll be there with my mom, dad, and sister July 26-31! Can't wait!

[zulemara]

I love FW!! I still know people over there so let me know if you want a particular area :thumbsup2

oouu I like that idea although 1) I'm on a 40% cast discount and 2) I don't really have a clue what area is better than another. Any tips?

[ConcKahuna]

Well, the 2100 loop in the "high" numbers puts you near a path to the Meadows area for an easy walk to the main pool and the Campfire sing-a-long.

2500 loop puts you right near the cabin area pool, and 2600 puts you right across the street from that pool.

There is a bus stop at the entrance of every cabin loop, so it's always good to request near the end of a loop (unless you're renting a golf cart, those are a blast and make transport super-easy).

Maybe we'll see you around!

We'll be at AKL, SSR, Poly (much to ConcK's delight, although we're slumming it in a garden view room so don't know if we'll bump into him or not), and AKV. That's what happens when you buy into DVC less than 3 months before your trip - you end up piecing things together in a very disjointed sort of way! Oh, well. It will be interesting if nothing else! :rotfl2:

[Timrobb]

We are going to be at WL (hoping to switch to Poly) if not too much $$ from Jan. 15 - 19th to surprise my mom for her 60th! My parents spend the entire month on January at FW! Not sure how much fun it will be, but it something we "have" to do - lol!

One of my favorite couples are the Zimmermans (formerly of the 600 loop, when it went preferred they moved to 1100 'cause they have satellite). Mrs. Z bakes the most AMAZING rum cakes ever!!
