I just hit hubby up last night to try to get hime to agree to go. We would be there from Jan 4-9. I always get my way when it comes to Disney. We were just there Dec 08 but had to cut it short due to a death in the family. My kids will be almost 5 and 9. They have been three times but we aret rying to fit in a lot while they are little.

We live in south Louisiana so aren't worried baout the weather. We know we can manage. We would drive and bring layers. We have heard cold and nice so you never know. I guess we are still talking about it but I have started planning!!!:rotfl:

[Dawn68PA]

I didn't see another January 2010 post....this is the winner!

We were last at WDW in November 2008. This trip is January 30-February 6. We can't wait! :banana:

[WDWMaiselFamilyWDW]

We have gone to WDW in Jan the past two years now...hopefully 2010 will be no exception! We go MLK week.

The weather is all over the place. You'll swim one day, freeze your butt off the next. At least that's been the case these past two January's. The crowds are low(ish). The tour groups are the only thing that annoy me, but they aren't too bad!

[sabrecmc]

We will also be headed back in January 2010 to celebrate my daughter's 4th birthday. We've gone in February before, but never January. We will likely go down the weekend after MLK day, hoping to avoid any crowds with the holiday or the marathon. We'll stay at the AKL, since I've always wanted to do that. I wish Disney would release the rates earlier! I'm an advance planner and hate having to wait, lol.

You will love AKL! We stayed there on our last trip and it was awesome!

I'm an advance planner too (already picked our restaurants!) but the new rates will be here before we know it. Not that I want to wish my summer away but I'm so ready for WDW! :banana:

[chasenluke]

I am just starting to work on DH but it won't take much. I ama planner too and it will kill me to have to wait ut we wil hve to wait to make sure DH gets the vacation anyway.

We will drive this time and it will greatly help with being able to prepare for the weather changes. i think this trip we will skip the dining plan. We have done it twice befoe but my kids are at the age where they didn't want to sit for that long. We will do a few sit down meals and one character meal. That will be about it. I don't want to have to fight to get them to sit still when they just want to ride rides. We are pulling myoldest out of school the week everyone else goes back after Christmas Jan 4-Jan 9 is when we will be there.

[Dawn68PA]

We are opting out of the dining plan this time too. It's just DH & I and I did price it out both ways. We'll come out ahead not having the plan. We normally just do a piece of fruit for breakfast and don't do big lunches either. We do love our sit-down dinners though :cutie:

I'm anxious to find out more about January weather!

[lacrosse_lady72]

I'm going Jan 17-22 :banana:

First January trip
First DVC renting trip
First solo trip

:scared1:

I am not worried about the weather in Florida... I am worried about the weather here. Normally it's just cold and rainy but the last year winter 08/09 we were killed with snow. Hopefully it's hold true that crazy snow only happens about once every 20 or so years.

[Dawn68PA]

Where are you staying with your DVC rental? We stayed at AKV last year and it was awesome!

You can ask Mr. Snowman to come toward the northeast. I'd be so thankful to see snow after the last few years of ice!

[SnowandMittens]

Going Jan 1 - 10th!

It's so nice to get out of the snow and go down to Flordia. I'm so excited!!!

[alecam]

There must be more out there!?!
Anyone else for January 2010?

[lacrosse_lady72]

That's where I am staying, AKV! I will definitely ask him to visit you instead, it hardly really snows here so we're not used to it and neither is DOT so the city is in shut down if it's more then 4-5 inches :headache:

It was fun when I was a kid, now I just dislike it.

[chasenluke]

We are looking at going to Disney in Jan 2010. We will be taking our son who will be in third grade out for a week. We have two choices. The week of Jan 4-9 and him missing the first week after Christmas break but it is the week of the marathon. We can also go the week of MLK and he would miss 4 days instead of 5. This maybe much better for DH's vacation.

Just wandering what would be easier

[alecam]

From what I understand, the week of the marathon has a bit less of an effect than MLK weekend. I have changed my week three times due to all of these choices. After checking all other threads, I decided to go with 9-16 and take my chances with the marathon.

[chasenluke]

We cannot decide when we are going. It looks like the week of Jan 4th may be out of the question but not sure yet. We may have to suck it up and go MLK because thaty would give us two more days!

If we decide on that we would arrive Jan 17 and start int he parks 1/18 and then leave on 1/23 in the evening.

[sueh]

My family will be in the world January 23 -30.
We will be staying at Pop.

We are so excited!

[chasenluke]

I just joined but am leaving. We decided to move our trip to the first week in Feb. That way we are avoiding MLK and the marathon. Happy planning to everyone.

[camille4750]

We are hoping to go around Jan 23-30th. It will be my parents first trip in 22 years so we are excited. Still trying to figure out where to stay, though. And yes, I am also a planner and can't wait for August when the 2010 package rates come out. Here's hoping for some good deals!:thumbsup2

Welcome camille4750!! I was beginning to think WDW was going to be empty in January!!:laughing:

[Dawn68PA]

We just added a day to the front of our trip! :cool1:

We'll now arrive on January 29!

[jessters7]

We are going on our Disneymoon Jan 3-10!!!
We are stying at POR!:love::love::love:

[december14disney]

I'm in! We are going January 7th-11th and staying at Kidani! We are running the half marathon together! (My fiance and I) :cool1:

[luvbeinamom]

When is the marathon in 2010? I just booked our January resort this morning for the 23rd-30th at Wilderness Lodge. Please tell me the marathon isn't then. :confused:

I'm really excited for our trip though! We've been quite a few times as AP holders, but I've never even seen the wilderness lodge and while we're usually frugal, we're going all out for the kids on this trip with BBB, Castle dinner, meal plan with 7 character meals, etc. I'm just really really hoping that the crowds are low.

[lacrosse_lady72]

I'll be anxious to read all about your AKV experience! :woohoo:

I am anxious to experience it! I hope everything goes well, and I'll be trying Kidani for the first time too! I'm staying at AKL for a night in September.

If things go well, I plan on going to every park in one day on my first day. But we'll see.

No, it's much earlier in the month, 7-10 I believe.

[luvbeinamom]

Ok, good! I'm really looking forward to low crowds and a pleasant trip in January!
We're going this summer too, but fully expecting crowds, heat and rain, so we'll just plan on spending a lot of time at the pool. :cool2:

[DisneyBrideToni]

Hey everyone! My husband and I are going January 8-15th for our 1st Anniversary/DVC trip. We are staying at BLT. :banana:

[twinkie]

Add us to the January crowd. We'll be leaving Oklahoma on December 26, checking in to Wilderness Campground Jan. 2-14. Can't wait!!!!!!

[brobrosmom]

We will be there in January as well, 23rd - 30th stay at FW. We went this past January and loved it. Great weather and low crowds.

[Djr0129]

:cool1::goodvibes

Going to go for our 33 wedding anniversary Jan 23th for 7-10 days!!
:woohoo::woohoo:

If there is another Official thread, I will edit this one, but I looked and didn't see one. We will be staying offsite at a townhouse or poolhome, but have not booked yet.

Please reply and I will start an official list.

The Pirates League - a new Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique- type experience to open at Pirates of the Caribbean
Apr 21, 2009

A new "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique" type experience is headed to the Pirates of the Caribbean gift shop area aimed at providing boys with an alternative to the mainly girl-orientated Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. The new "Pirates League" will be built in the section of the Pirates of the Caribbean gift shop that closed some years ago. The experience is less hair and makeup, and more about costume and accessories, including some pirate and swordsmanship training. The experience is set to open around June/July 2009. More details should surface in the next few weeks including costs and a more precise opening date.

I found this on ********************

Calling all scoundrels, rogues and ne’er-do-wells – Captain Jack and the crew of the Black Pearl want you.

Each guest checking in at the plunder-filled pirate’s lair gets an official pirate name. Then it’s off to Muster Station for applications of beards and eye patches, scarves and scars, earrings and gold teeth – all done with the savvy skill of a veteran pirate who shares his own tales of sea-sailing adventures.

After the new buccaneers recite a sacred pirate oath, they are officially part of Captain Jack’s motley crew, leaving their old identities behind. Past a hidden portal and into the treasure room, the shipmates have their “pirate portrait” taken before being turned loose on an unsuspecting Adventureland – and no doubt feeling right at home at the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction.

Guests can choose from three daily pirate packages:


First Mate Package: Includes bandana; choice of facial effects; scars; tattoos; fake teeth; earring and eye patch; sword and sheath; pirate coin necklace;
one 5x7-inch photo; and personalized pirate oath -- $49.95 plus tax.
Empress Package: Includes bandana; shimmering makeup; face gem; tattoos; nail polish; earring and eye patch; sword and sheath; pirate coin necklace;
one 5x7-inch photo; and personalized pirate oath -- $49.95 plus tax.
Captains Package: Includes choice of costume/outfit from selection; choice of facial effects; scars; tattoos; fake teeth; earring and eye patch; sword and sheath; pirate coin necklace; three 5x7-inch photos; and personalized pirate oath -- $124.95 plus tax.
Newly donned swashbucklers can test their pirate prowess on the streets of Adventureland where they search for clues and discover treasures. And for mateys who need a little more training, learn the secrets for survival by the captain himself during “Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Tutorial.”




I think it sounds great :woohoo:

[alecam]

I will definitely be doing this with my two DS's when we go!! Can't wait!!

[brobrosmom]

We will definitely be doing The Pirates League. So I guess you call the ADR # to make reservations???? Or would they have their own #?

[brobrosmom]

I will definitely be doing this with my two DS's when we go!! Can't wait!!

How old are your sons? I see that your January 2010 resort is "TBD". Have you decided where you will stay?

[alecam]

How old are your sons? I see that your January 2010 resort is "TBD". Have you decided where you will stay?

My DS's are 7 and 9.
As far as our accomodations, I know we will be offsite because that is what we prefer. Having done both, we feel that our money is better spent on a condo or townhouse. Right now I have four or five "possibilities". Most of them 3 bedroom townhouses or condos for around $450-$500 for the week. I am waiting to book my airfare first before I book our condo. With SW not offering our dates until the end of June, I think it will be at least until then before I book "shelter".

[brobrosmom]

This past January was my first time staying at WDW for a week and we stayed on property at the ASMU. I think that when my boys get older staying off property will be something we look into but for now we like staying on property. It just seems as if it is easier with the boys being young. No loading up the car to go the park and if one gets cranky or needs to go back to the room, the other one can stay at the park with a parent.

[alecam]

I definitely agree!! As you can see by my trip list below, onsite was awesome when they were younger. I took my oldest when he was 8-months old and would have been horrified if we were not onsite. Now that they are older, though, they can hang for the whole day, and I need them to have their own rooms at night or else :faint: !!

[DisneyBrideToni]

I am glad they did something for the boys. It is fun for them to get dressed up too, not just the girls. I wish they had that stuff when I was little.

[brobrosmom]

They have the Cool Dude thing at the BBB. But a father posted somewhere that his son was so embarrassed to be there because of all the "girly" stuff. This definitely seems more geared towards the boys.

January 17th - 24th for us!

Hello everyone!

This will be my dd8's first trip to Disney World. My dh, ds and I went went ds was 3. He is now 13. We will be going the week of January 23 - 30, 2010.

I know nothing about booking rooms or anything. I want the trip to memorable but not expensive.

My ds and dd aren't into too much Disney. My dd likes Hannah Montana and HSM, but is not obessed like some little girls. ;) Ds likes Spiderman but isn't as crazy about him as he was when he was younger. He is more about the Playstation 3.

Any advice you guys have I would greatly appreciate it.

Welcome!!

Are you looking for onsite or off. Now that my kids are older, offsite is the way to go for us, because it is much cheaper and my boys are old enough where we no longer need "rests" like they needed when younger. There are a ton of offsite communities that are relatively inexpensive, but you would need a car to get to and from WDW. However, onsite is so much more convenient as far as location, transportation, etc. I have a DS9 who is very into our X-Box and hates to be outside, and a DS7 who enjoys outdoors/sports and hates to be inside. They are very different as I'm sure yours are. I will be more than happy to help you with your plans,reservations if you wish.

The value resorts are great. I think the best one is Pop Century. It is newer than the others and it has a nice theme to it. Really all of them do. If you wanted to stay in a moderate resort Port Orleans French Quarter is really nice. They have a great pool for the kids.

[mickeysmyboy]

Hi everyone!

I'm joining in! We are going in January for the second year in a row!


This time a few things will be different!

First, it's a suprise for our kids! We're either goingto tell them on christmas or right before we leave!

Second, we are taking my sister, her DH and their 3 kids with us!! We tried to take them this past January but due to some problems on their end they had to cancel!

Third, it will be our very first trip as DVC owners!! DH and I took the DVC plunge after we toured during the trip we took in March for our 10th anniversary! It was a very nice anniversary present!!

We are super excited and I really hope we can keep it a secret! DD is normally my right hand man when it comes to planning so it's hard not to say things!! Not to mention I'm affraid my sisters kids will spill the beans! They've never been and are VERY excited, especially after having to cancel last year!! Also, my 13 year old niece will be spending the majority of her summer here with us so I have to make sure she doesn't slip!!

I can't wait to make reservation!!! I can do it on 6/9 I believe. We won't be staying at our home resort, AKV, because we need a Grand Villa and the Grand Villas at AKV are way too many points! I'm praying to be able to get a grand villa at OKW!

Right now I'm hoping for January 9th - 16th but am trying to be flexible in case we can't get a GV reservation at OKW for that week!


Anyway, thanks so much! Can't wait to get to know you all!

[waw1961]

We're planning a trip Jan. 25-Feb. 2. Thinking about staying at ASmu. suites.Never been in January before due to kids being in school and all, but now they're raised(woo-hoo) we can go anytime !!:yay:

[brobrosmom]

We stayed in the Family Suites last January and loved them. It was perfect for the group we had. Great to have two bathrooms and a kitchen area without the big price tag! :thumbsup2

This time we are going to try the CBR. Originally we were going to take the motorhome and stay at Fort Wilderness but once I saw pictures of the pirate rooms I changed our reservations. It will be a surprise for the boys (if I can keep the secret)!

[MrsJD]

We will also be headed back in January 2010 to celebrate my daughter's 4th birthday. We've gone in February before, but never January. We will likely go down the weekend after MLK day, hoping to avoid any crowds with the holiday or the marathon. We'll stay at the AKL, since I've always wanted to do that. I wish Disney would release the rates earlier! I'm an advance planner and hate having to wait, lol.

My DD will be four on Christmas eve, so our January trip is kind of to celebrate that and then also our 15th wedding anniversery this august. Our trip doesn't really coincide with the things we are celebrating but Jan sounded like a much better time to go...lower crowds, cooler weather, we do construction in WI so work is slower.

Anyhoo, our girls will both be 4 :cheer2: princess: princess: Two princesses!

How exciting for you guys!! I would plan to be there for atleast 4-5 days if was you. Also make sure you have atleast an idea of what you want to do and in what order. Buy a planning book....my fave right now is The Complete Walt Disney World 2009. It will give you a lot of inside info, as will these boards. If the kids aren't super Disnified yet, get them watching some of the movies. DS13 will probably get into the prirate movies, HSM, and maybe even Nemo or Lion King, depending on his personality. DD8 is still young enough to enjoy just about anything. I particularly enjoy the princess stuff with my DD4. Let them in on the planning as it will help get them excited! Try to get in a few dining experiences...maybe they would prefer the Spirit of Aloha as opposed to the Chef Mickey's?

Oh, I hope you have a wonderful time!

[MrsJD]

Pencil us in for the week of 9-16th!!! My dear in-laws are treating us to a vacation for our 15th wedding anniversery! How cool are they?!?!?:banana:

Cast will be Me (32) DH (33) DD (4) for the whole week and
MIL and FIL for 3-4 days of the trip!

We have yet to determine where to stay and what all to do. I am the only disney nut and only one that's ever been to WDW, so I am the official planner for this vacation.

So far, all I have done is determine dates and make a vacation planning questionnaire for everyone going. Once I figure out everyone's interests I can figure the rest out.

I have The Complete Walt Disney World 2008 and I love it. :lovestruc It is by far my favorite Disney guide. I'm thinking that the 2010 edition will come out at the end of this year but maybe I should get the 2009 one too! I find it's informative, easy to read, and has such beautiful pictures. My kids love looking at the pictures.

I just bought The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2009 and I really don't like it. It's hard to read and does not seem organized.

[MagicMomentsMom]

we're going Jan19-24th--It's my Daughters 5th birthday celebration and first trip to WDW--and Dh's first trip to disney too. But it's been 20 years since I was there so I might as well be a first time visitor :) We're going to be staying at either POP or one of the allstars. Do you think it will be crowded that week? Should I move it up a week--DD's birthday is the 22nd so we will definitely be there on her birthday

MLK Day is the 18th so maybe the 19th and 20th will be a little heavier with people making a long weekend out of it but in general as long as you go before Presidents Day in February, you should be good.

Maybe someone else that has been for MLK Day can offer some input.

[stopher1]

We'll be there first from January 11-14 at THV then moving over to AKV/Kidani Village from January 14-21. We're taking my folks along for their first visit back to the World in about 12 years, and of course their first trip there with the grandkids. They'll be amazed at how much has changed since they were last at WDW!

[willonlyflytodisney]

Hey guys
We're trying to plan a trip sometime in January, but both me and my boyfriend go back to college on the 17th.
So we are really available from the 2nd until the 16th.
Should we do the 3rd to the 10th or the 9th to the 16th? Or some combination in mid-week?
I know the marathon is the 7-10th but I've heard that the crowds are not too bad. And crowd levels are supposed to be low after the 2nd.

What to do... what to do...
Any advice on the matter?

I think you will be okay with either of these weeks. On the third/fourth there may be some people looking to extend their holiday week by a few days, but that should be about it. Other than that, you should be fine.

Hi everyone, this is my first post. I have always followed the boards but have never posted. I'm excited to be changing our yearly trip to WDW to Jan/Feb instead of May. I'm a little scared only because I don't know what to expect with Jan/Feb weather. Anyone have any encouraging words??? Our dates are Jan 31-Feb 7 2010. We just got back in May so I'm glad we are now going sooner, LOL.

It's hard to predict the weather in January and February. I was there for almost two weeks this year. Jan 31st to February 12th. The first week we froze, the second week we were in shorts. :lmao: Either way it's still fun!! I would suggest packing a jacket or hoodie in case it's cold and shorts in case it's hot. Most of the time it's nice weather in the 60's or 70's.

Hey we're going at the same time! :banana: DH & I will be there from January 29 - February 6. We've never been during this time of year either, we usually go in the fall. With the economy, we needed a little more time to save money so we pushed it back. Where are you staying?

I did a couple searches on weather for January and February weather in Florida and it looks like it can be anything. We plan to pack a little of each type of clothing and if need be, do :laundy: once while we're there.

Weather at WDW in the winter months can be a bit fickle! It maybe 75-80 one day and 45-50 the next. Even if it's 80 during the day it gets chilly at night and early morning. Being able to dress in layers in very important!

We were in WDW Jan 3rd - 11th of this year and for the most part the weather was great! 70's and sunny with a bit of breeze. One day a storm blew in and it POURED for about an hour and got windy. It was absolutely freezing!! We had to leave Epcot and go back to the room and change into the warmest clothing we had to make it to through until the evenings dinner and Illuminations!

But, it's like that even the beginning of March! We were in WDW the beginning of March 08 and the first few days it was freezing cold!! It was 42 degrees at one point!! It was warmer back in NY!!

No matter what you'll have a great time!! Happy planning!

[disneyfan97]

We'll be there January 3-10 for DS's 3rd birthday and the Disney Half Marathon!!

Right now we are booked at BWV - Preferred View, with a wait list for BWV - Standard view. I don't want to use that many DVC points! :giggle

I think we will do the Dining plan, but not sure yet.

This will be our 3rd trip during that time of year. We have both a birthday and an anniversary to celebrate that month, so we love to get down there for them! The weather is amazing in January...but very hard to pack for!

:banana:

[dancingdisneygirl]

My family and I will be staying at Kidani Village Jan 5-12!! I can't wait:banana:

[bc_butterfly]

Hi everyone! This will be our second trip to DW in January, we will be there Jan 21-31. We went back in 2008 as a Christmas gift for the kids, ourselves and my parents. We had such a good time we've decided to do it all over again :goodvibes
We are booked at the Treetop Villas as of right now, however i'm about 98% sure that will change as i'm not happy with the idea of having to walk so far to use the resort amenities. I'm trying to reserve at the AKV but none are available yet, worst case scenario (which suits me fine to) will be two rooms at AKL again. :woohoo:
I'm so excited!

[alecam]

bumping!;)

[Mama of Triplets]

I am keeping my fingers crossed to again this year!!! I was wondering if anyone knew if they will be doing any rooms like the pirate room for families with 5.
Last Jan. we would have loved to stay in the pirate room....But with 5 of us it was a no go. We are pretty much stuck with Port Orleans/since there is no way we can flip a bill for anything over mod. Anyone hear anything??

[chell]

We will either be there Dec 12 - 19 or Jan 2 - 9. We are waiting to find out if my husband will be able to do a special project in place of exams. If he can do a special project we will stick with December. If not, we will have to move our trip to January. I wonder how the crowds will be that week in January and what the average wait times are.

[pixidust77]

Count me in too! January 16-23 at CBR! Can't come fast enough :banana:

[Morgand]

We're staying at AK Kidani Village Jan 20-28. We have been planning this trip for over a year (my husband and I are obsessed), this will be my daughters age 6 & 4's first trip to the WORLD!!! We are all extremely excited! :banana:

[BYC]

We ill be at POR Jan. 4th-15th. Can't wait!! :banana::banana::banana::banana:

It'll be my first time going without my parents! Which will be bittersweet, since they are such Disney nuts. I don't feel bad for them, they're going in December. :p

[parrotheadmom]

So excited we will be going Jan.12-19 staying for the first time at our DVC home AKV Kidani! :banana:

[HETRICKL]

We're going 1/9 - 1/16. Lots of firsts for us too. First time in January, first time as DVC - BLT owners, celebrating DD9 and DS6 birthdays, and first surprise trip for the kids! So much to think about - yeah!

[bc_butterfly]

Changed our ressie today from the Treetops to AKL, hoping to get a Jambo house two bedroom villa but none were available today. CM told me to keep calling back and checking, i've got all my crossables crossed. It would be nice for all seven of us to be in one room this time :thumbsup2

Oooo we had one of those on our last trip and it was sooooo nice :lovestruc Our room was over the Sunset Savannah directly above the check in counter. We would open our door and that cool wooden bridge was right there :thumbsup2 Wonderful location. I will hope that you get it. We had animals all the time except one afternoon in our 8 day stay. Good luck!

[bc_butterfly]

Thanks Dawn :goodvibes We were on the Savanna last time, can't remember which one but I fell in love :love: So cool to wake up every morning and have a giraffe greet you!

[MissMagnolia]

My DH surprised me with a "post-cruise" quick WDW trip. We were just there this past January and he said, "Not for FIVE more years!" - but he's proven how much he loves me :lovestruc.

We will be at WDW 1/10-1/13 - haven't made resort ressies yet...leaning toward WL or the Poly. It will be me, DH, DS (9), and DD (6).

[Mic_n_Min]

I am going to be there with my son and my mom from Jan 22-26. We'll be staying at Pop Century! :cool1:

Edited to add: we will be staying at the Caribbean Beach Resort. This is the same place I stayed with my mom, sister and brother back in 1989 (my last trip).

[jdiane]

Booked at Bay Lake and just got tickets and plane reservations!! Now just waiting for the ADR timeline to open up. wait wait wait:rolleyes1 I think I love the planning almost as much as the trip!

Looks like I am headed back in January. DH will be getting his Mid Tour leave from Iraq from Jan 8-Jan 22 ish (give or take a few days on either end) so we are deading to WDW for most of that. Will be staying at Shades of Green.

[Phil'sFrontier]

OMFG!!! Last time I was in WDW I was 8 years old, which was 20 years ago. My longtime girlfriend and her 7y/o daughter have never been.
We are headed to Orlando for Jan 7th(from over 5000km away) for 2 weeks most of the trip we are just off site at the Radisson Buena Vista, but for the last 2 days we are splurging and getting a room at the Yacht Club!! I can't believe I am spending $1k on 2 nights hotel.
Being from the far north in Canada we aren't too worried about the weather, more so about park hours, closed attractions.

[famgel]

We'll be going Jan 11 - 16 staying at BCV, 1st visit there

[MissMagnolia]

Okay...resort booked! We will be at the Polynesian from 1/10-1/13 (a post -Carnival cruise side trip!). It will be myself, DH, DD6 and DS9. We got a great rate through Magical Vacations.

[itchin2go]

Anyone else anxiously bracing for the rehabs and closures announcement? I feel like it's been released in October in years past, but man, that seems like a long time to wait!

[crazy4tig]

You can add us to the list. This will be our forth January trip :cool1: We usually take our kids out of school and go MLK week. The crowds are heavier around the holiday but it slows down during the week. But, the weather is crazy, hot one day and freezing the next. We'll be there Jan. 16-26th staying at Port Orleans FQ. Planning is definetly half the fun!!!:woohoo:

[kandemom]

Well be there! Jan 18th-24th. We cant wait. Were surprising the boys, hoping to get some good discounts:thumbsup2

[mickeymyfavorite]

Thinking about another trip in Jan :confused: just came ack and looking for a quick trip again (already). I have never been in wdw in Jan, I'm hopeing the weather will be springy...I think I better make my mind up quick. LOL ;)

[DrmWvr1299]

[alecam]

OK folks, I believe the list is up-to-date. Please let me know if there are any errors (spelling, wrong dates, wrong resort, etc) and I will gladly fix!! I have changed my dates to 23-30 and am now hoping for a good deal to stay onsite (CSR). Also can't wait to start making ADRs.

Kristi

[chell]

I am there Dec. 31 - Jan 9 at the Swan.

[luvndisney358]

:love: So happy so many of us get to go in January! What a great way to start off the new year 2010 huh???????????????????? Yay for January Dis'ers!!!:rotfl:

:cheer2: :cloud9:

[Star Wars mom]

Just wanted to join the party! My family is going January 16-24. Traveling with me are DH, DS4, and DS7. We're doing a crazy split stay to try out a few different DVC resorts: 2 nights at Beach Club Villas, 2 nights at Bay Lake Tower, 4 nights at Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas. I can't wait to see the park hours and start making ADRs!

[robinbutterfly]

Add us to the list! We are going January 17-23!

[Luckymommyx2]

I just booked our first trip taking the in-laws. We have a 2bd and a studio at BWVs the 24-28. I haven't booked air or anything else yet. I'm most concerned with flying that time of the year but I'll do it for a mid-winter break!

[ppan77]

Here's another family to add to the list!! Grammy and Pop Pop are taking us to BLT!! Two bedroom villa!:cool1:We are going Jan 27th-31st. This will be our third January trip. Just a little bummed about Crystal Palace being closed but I'll get over it!

[Star Wars mom]

oops. Realized my question goes elsewhere.

[CheetoGuido]

Add us to the list.. Jan 18 - Jan 24!! Can't wait!

[tink713]

We will be there Jan 23-31st at AKV Kidani Village!

[MichelleVW]

COUNT ME IN!! :banana::banana:

Found some great air fare and called my mom to see if she wanted to go on a mid winter trip!! Mom said sounds fun and tells her sister about the trip...Mom calls me and asked if I minded if her sister went with us! The more the merrier I say!! :thumbsup2

So, I'll be heading down there with my mom and Aunt for a fun filled week! My mom just went with me and DD16 in March but my Aunt hasn't been since before AK was built!

We're renting a 3 bedroom townhouse at Emerald Island Resort for $474 for the WEEK!! :thumbsup2 Split between 3 people that is nothing!!

[dancingdisneygirl]

We are not staying at Kidani anymore it's been changed to Saratoga instead. I'm getting excited and want to be there now!!

[chell]

Four Mainers will in the world Dec 31-Jan 9. First three nights at Sheraton last six at Kidani. Our first trip on-site!

Those are our dates as well!

[Buckeye Princess]

I am so excited! I just booked 7 nights at the Poly Concierge for the end of January!!! My husband agreed we could go if the 4/3 deal came out so I've been hoping and praying. We are going from Jan 25th to Feb 1st. Ahhhhh!!! I didn't think we would get to go to Disney this year as my husband is a med student and never gets time off. But he gets a week in January.

I called dining though, and the first day we can make dining reservations is Oct 27th! This is the day that it opens up to 180 days. If we were going down one day earlier we'd be able to get our reservations before everyone is calling all at once. I'm nervous.

[disneygrandmom2007]

We are all booked at VWL for Jan. 10 - Jan. 17! But we would have preferred to be in the main building at WL. Unfortunately, we can't use the 4/3 deal because we already have AP. But we are still hoping that an AP or room only deal for January will appear.

[PartyFromSaturn]

We are going in January! Staying at Pop Century the 13th-17th.

We've been to the campground in February. It was pretty chilly! Still warmer than home, though!:sunny::sunny:

[Noobie]

We just booked Shades of Green for Jan 10th -Jan 17th! And we will be at All Star Sports for the 7th, 8th and 9th, because the team DH is running the Half Marathon with has a block of rooms there. :)

[QTnursestudent]

We'll be there January 5 - 12, 2010 staying at POR! My sister and I are doing the half marathon. It will be my husband and daughter(14)'s first trips!!

[UGAHokies]

My wife and I are also staying at POR Jan 5-12, and we are running in the marathon on Sunday. We are also going to be around at the start of the half because we have some friends running in that. This may have already been answered, but what are crowds like during that week and marathon weekend. This will be our first time running a marathon and our first time going to WDW this time of year.

Yay on your first Marathon! I just did my first Half Marathon last month and it was awesome (Virginia Beach Rock and Roll Half). From all the stalking I have done here, it seems that crowds are a bit higher than average January crowds during that weekend but not bad at all since January crowds are pretty low to begin with.

Last WDW trip we did was last April, right at the beginning of Spring Break season, so it was crowded but not as bad as it can be and not as low as it could be, so we are looking forward to this LONG trip and smaller crowds :) (oh, and the fact that it will be the first tiime my DS5 and I have seen my husband since Easter since he's been in Iraq since then!)

[Shenandoah Minnie]

Woo Hoo we booked our next trip!! We are staying at CBR pirate room from January 23-30!! pirate: I am going to try to keep the resort and pirate room secret from the kids!! ;) I get so excited it is so hard to hold in the details!! :banana: We have never stayed at a moderate resort so we are so excited. :yay: We also booked the reg. dining plan for the first time!! So we will see!! :cool1:

But you're staying concierge so they can make all your ADR's for you!

I'm sure you'll love Poly CL!!!!

[Sarahboo]

I want to join the countdown!

We got in on the 4/3 deal and booked at POFQ. It will be our family's first time onsite and our son's first trip to Disney, our daughter's 6th birthday and a celebration of my DH and my 10th wedding anniversary. :cheer: We'll take a red-eye from Portland, Oregon and arrive the morning of the 26th, leaving mid-afternoon on the 2nd.

We will be there Jan 10-14 at AKV on our DVC points, then Jan 14-17 for cash stay @ Pop. I was up at 3am this morning, got online and made all my ADRs. I got everything I wanted and great times. We go every year in Sept with the Kids and Jan is parents only trip. Its great to really take your time and not have to worry about getting others ready to go.:woohoo:

[Mickeyfollowers]

Just a suggestion, but could you add a poll to your thread to see the % of people going what week? I have seen it done on other threads for the rest of the months but did not see one for January. Thank you

[J'aime Paris]

Wow! Awesome trip. Are you flying back home all those times or staying off-site somewhere? That sounds like a dream come true trip!!! Congrats.

[LlamaMamaof2]

I will be there January 18-23 and staying at the GF! I can't believe how close we are getting. :)

[cheshirefan]

Wow! Awesome trip. Are you flying back home all those times or staying off-site somewhere? That sounds like a dream come true trip!!! Congrats.

Thanks! No we won't fly anymore (DH got panic attack last year and has dug his heels in). We're fortunate enough to have a family home in Marion Co., Fla. We take the auto train on Jan. 1st then we just drive to our house. That way we were able to avoid some of the busy weekends. We usually bring our kids, grandkids, parents, etc... But this year our daughter is having a baby in Feb. so they couldn't come. We had already paid off their part of the trip, so we got selfish and transfered it to ourselves!!!:rotfl2: I am SO EXCITED!!!!

[wvgoofyfan]

Well, finally glad to be planning another trip! Booked the Stay 4 Get 3 Free this morning and added dining plan. Finally taking the plunge and staying AKL. Not flying this trip, although SouthWest had some killer Ding fares this past week. Driving down to please my hubby, Looking forward to a great trip....Doing the happy dance :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:

[alecam]

Hi All,

I have added a "Sorted by Resort" Section to the bottom of the list.
Also, If anyone would like me to add an ADR section, I will if I get enough replies. Hope all planning is going well.

[cheshirefan]

Yes! Let's see where everyone's eating.:thumbsup2 I know I went through trauma to get our later trip's ADRs, so I'm sure alot of the January folks did too! They were hard earned this year! I would like to see if any of our times overlap.
P.S. - Thanks for starting this thread!:goodvibes

[photofreak]

DH, youngest DD and I will be there January 26th til February 4th. Staying at FW Campground.... We'll be missing our eldest DD as she's away at university (1st year) :sad2:

[alecam]

Hi again all, I have started a seperate ADR thread on the ADR Forum. I figured this way maybe people who don't come to this section will add to it also.

Here is a link: January ADR's!! (http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2324384)

Hi January people! Anybody find a good deal on a car rental for their January trip? Prices are still looking high.

[alecam]

Hi January people! Anybody find a good deal on a car rental for their January trip? Prices are still looking high.

Not yet, but I haven't seen the companies offer the deals for our dates yet. All offers right now expire 12/31. Keeping my fingers crossed. I keep bidding on Priceline with no luck.

[Disney4nonah]

HI, can you please add us?

Disney4nonah Jan 19-26, 2010 POFQ

SO EXCITED - book our flights today, so it's true we are going!!!!:banana:

Thanks!

DH, DD5 and I will be at the Contemporary from Jan 25 - Feb 1. Deluxe Dining here we come :cool1:

[itchin2go]

Hi January people! Anybody find a good deal on a car rental for their January trip? Prices are still looking high.

I got a great deal last year. Mini van for $199 a week. The lady at the Thrifty counter couldn't believe it when we showed up to pick up the car. From emails, it looks like I booked it on 1-4, so I guess I'll start checking the first of the year. If I find something good, I'll post it here.

[OTRGal]

I guess I'll just have to be patient and wait for January car deals. It's a little unnerving how how the prices are right now, though.

[Mickeyfollowers]

I already posted but wanted to make a change. We are now staying AKV 1/10-1/14 and then CSR 1/14-1/17 instead of Pop for second part of our trip. Got the 40% off for Disney Visa and only have to pay $20 more to stay at Moderate rather than value.:cool1:

[Hans Moleman]

1/2-1/9 at the Contemporary

First time staying there.

[alecam]

Hi January people! Anybody find a good deal on a car rental for their January trip? Prices are still looking high.

I went with Hotwire today. For my 1 week rental, I got a midsize from Alamo for $179 total. I can live with that. My previous best was a compact for $235.

[Lizziejane]

Myself, DH, our two sons (ages 23 and 21!) and one of their girlfriends, will be there January 24-Feb. 1 at BWV. Sooo excited - this is the girlfriends first visit!

ADRs are...
Sunday 1/17 - LTT dinner (hooray for the characters!)
Monday 1/18 - Sci Fi for a late lunch
Tuesday 1/19 - Ohana Character Breakfast (our fave) & WCC for dinner
Wednesday 1/20 - Garden Grill for dinner

Did everyone get their plane tickets, if flying? I've been checking EVERYDAY for the past couple months and the cheapest I've been finding from Detroit to Orlando has been near $300/person :eek:

Today, I found them for $224 total and I want to jump on it. How much have you guys been paying for airfare (if you don't mind sharing of course:))
Thanks!!

I purchased airfare from Detroit to Orlando about a month or so ago. Including taxes and fees we paid $150 per person round trip. Got a great price! We are flying Airtran leaving around 2pm on Saturday, Jan. 9 and return flight leaving around 3pm on Sunday, Jan. 17. Looks like you are going closer to the holidays, so I bet you're gonna have a harder time finding the deals. Good luck--keeping my fingers crossed for you!

[Schmoodle]

Hello Snowbirds! May we join in?
I, my DS13, and DD11 will be at CBR January 15 - 22, booked on the 3/4 promotion.
I got $52 Southwest Getaway fares from DC back in October, woo-hoo!
I haven't been to WDW in January for about 20 years. We'll be there on MLK Birthday, but we plan to spend a couple of days enjoying the resort(s)/pool(?)/DTD, so if that weekend is very busy, we'll bail from the parks. I hope crowds aren't too bad - now that kids are in middle school, I won't take them out of school for more than a day or two, and MLK week is the only week they have 3 days off already. I won't go over Christmas, Easter, or summer. So it looks like MLK week for us from now on!

I've stayed at CSR, but this will be the kids' first time on-site. We've always had a timeshare before.

I'm not doing the basic dining plan, but am considering the QSDP. I know the kids would get a kick out of being able to order their own snacks when hungry and paying with their cards. I've made reservations at Kouzzina (breakfast), LTT (breakfast), Tusker House (breakfast), Le Cellier (dinner), and Les Chefs (mid-afternoon dessert to see Remy). If we go with QSDP, I will cancel Le Cellier, and at least one of the breakfasts.

We don't actually fly home until the 23rd, so I'm trying to decide if I want to add a day at CBR or at a Deluxe for one night (if I get a PIN or a good discount). If we do QSDP, I'll definitely make a separate reservation, because I don't want the DP for that last day. I know we will be ready to stop eating by then!

So many decisions!! In the meantime, I'd better get to packing, because we are going to spend Thanksgiving at Williamsburg.
Happy planning all!

[disneyfan97]

We added a night at the beginning of our trip!! :banana:

So, now we check in on Jan 2 and go home on Jan 10. We are still staying at the BWV!!

I got all our dining reservations booked back in October, but completely forgot to come back here to post about them.

We got:

Le Cellier
Hoop De Doo
Chef Mickey's (Birthday celebration for ds3) pirate:
Mama Melrose's
Chefs de France

Hmm....I am missing one, but my list is on my computer at work. :rotfl: I'll have to add them later.

[rookie2]

Please add us. we will be there Jan23-30, staying at POR. :cool1:

[Nanta1]

January 23-30 staying at the POP

[luvndisney358]

:sad2: NO I DID not get mine yet! I am leaving out of Philly or AC either on Southwest or Spirt and the cheapest I am seeing is about 1080 for four of us to travel. I'm sitting the fence and I just think it's SO HIGH. I don't like the fact that Spirit will charge me for baggage!!!

I just wish the price was much lower but I best book soon! Lest I will have to thumb it to the Beach Club! :confused3

[luvndisney358]

Hey there!!! Are you kidding you are from Berlin too!! How funny! I have yet to book my air yet. What do you suggest? PM me if needed! Wondering what part of Berlin you are at! How coincidental!

[WDWRocksMySocks]

We got our tickets back in September. Southwest was having an awesome sale and we wound up paying $140/ticket for Indianapolis to Orlando! :woohoo: Now my sister wants to go, so I've been searching for another ticket. It's now up over $200 and I'm hoping it goes down. BOO!!

Ooh, I'll add my ADRs. I'm so excited. We've never tried any of these, except CMs.

1/23 - Chef Mickey's (dinner)
1/24 - Liberty Tree Tavern (dinner)
1/25 - Chefs de France (dinner)
1/26 - Whispering Canyon Cafe (dinner)
1/28 - Le Cellier (dinner)
1/29 - Ohana's (breakfast)
1/29 - 1900 Park Fare (dinner)

Tomorrow, we'll all be able to say we're going to WDW next month! WOO!!!!! VWL, here we come. :woohoo::yay::woohoo::yay:

Isn't that crazy?! I got our airfare from SW for $150 round trip NY or MCO! The next morning it went up to over $300 round trip!!! YIKES! I'm glad I bought it when I did!

[LuvOrlando]

For those of you out of NJ: I don't know if you'd be willing to drive but I got a flight on Continental to go from ABE to MCO in Feb for $140 RT, and Delta is about the same out of this airport which is about 1 hour north of Philly on the Turnpike and 15 minutes east right off route 22 in the Allentown, Bethlehem area. For Continental they call it a flight but it is really just a van ride over to Newark, and Delta connects in Atlanta. I think the long term parking here is pretty reasonable. We also have Allegiant air which is a discount carrier.

[hbehrman]

My son and I are at CBR Pirate Room January 2nd to 7th

[momeeyore]

Hi everyone. I will be there in January too! :cheer2:

Well, I wasn't sure if this trip was going to happen or not - I've hardly thought about it, because of other things going on around here. But my payment was due this week, and I paid it. So trip is paid for, plane tickets bought, ADRs made, I guess that means we are going! Also, they finally released a discount for January, so I reserved our last night at Wilderness Lodge, just to get a taste. All that's left to do is break it to DH that we are going. He was supposed to be at sea in January, now not leaving until late January.

Arriving at the Wilderness Lodge on January 3rd, departing on the 10th. First Visit for both kids, 1 & 4. Third visit for us.

[poohmomof3]

We are arriving at the Beach Club late January 16th - early morning January 24th!!!!!!!!

DH, myself and our 3 kids (16, 14, 11). I am trying to decide what parks what day. Tempted to use Tourguide Mike, which we never do. I think we are going to pay oop for meals - there are alot of places near the Beach Club that are not on the meal plans and we don't like to schedule around sit-down meals.

Have fun everyone!!!!!

[believer]

We gave the kids their surprise Xmas day- they wanted to pack immediately. We will be staying at the POP 1-17 thru 1-23. We will be celebrating my DD 6th birthday while there, I don't think she has made that connection yet.
I still need to decide if I want to add the DP, and send my room requests. Any suggestions?

[LocustPoint]

we leave in 10 days!! Staying January 6th through the 16th at the Boardwalk Villas. It will be me and my husband, Aunt & Uncle #1 (Uncle #1 is running in the Goofy Challenge over marathon weekend, Aunt & Uncle #2 and my cousin who is entering the Disney College Program on the 13th, plus we are meeting up with friends from Canada. It will be a busy and fun trip.
