When is your next WDW vacation?

[maryann4086]

Just curious as to when everyone is heading to WDW. We will be there from October 25 to November 2. Staying in a one bedroom at the Boardwalk Villas(DVC members) We will probably be travelling Southwest out of Buffalo once again. Any great plans, special events? We'll be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. Hope to hear from the rest of ya!

[hockey mom]

We are heading back to make up for our cold New Years trip. Also flying sowthwest and staying at the AKL and HIFS. Can't wait.

[madge62]

Well, we're not going until December 30, 2002 so that gives us lots of time to plan and save $$. We're booked in at the All-Star Movies for 5 nights and hoping to book a 7-day cruise to follow. Although I'll be turning 40 in October of '02, this will be my birthday celebration. Can't wait!!

I thought I should stop lurking on the boards and tell the world (well, at least the Canadian portion) that I cannot stop going to WDW. Each trip is just not enough! I will be flying out of Seattle but I have not decided where to stay.
(I am guilty of multi-reservations... :rolleyes: )

[Snowwark]

Maryann4086, hockey mom, madge62, and Baboo, how wonderful for you, your plans sound great.

I've been thinking about going to the DIS convention solo, but DH keeps saying that if I don't and just keep saving, we can go for a longer trip for the next convention. What to do, what to do! :rolleyes:

Welcome to the DIS asc! :)

We will arrive on Dec 8th 2001 and stay through the 19th we will be at BWV and WLV we tend to make our trif the first 2 weeks or so of Dec every year. We can't get enough of the christmas decorations. We just love visiting at this time it is the best one of the least busy times to go and the most festive. Along with that it is also the cheapest time to go. We will never stay off site for more that a night and that is only when we get in to Orlando a day early like this Dec we have to stay off site for a day. Hope to see some other Dis fans while we are there have a great trip everyone.

[maryann4086]

Are you DVC members as well, or just enjoy staying at the Villas?

[Tink42]

We are going Aug. 27 - Sept. 3. DD works at a camp for the summer and only has this week off. Both DD and DS in high school so very limited in when we can go. But no complaints - at least we are going. Hoping to fly Southwest out of Buffalo. Waiting for their Aug/Sept flights to come up on the internet.

[TimNDansMom]

We were thinking of going back this summer, but I'm hot to take an impromptu trip during March Break, to get away from this cold winter weather. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we will be able to go in March and I even got a great rate at the Howard Johnsons Maingate East which at least would make the trip affordable, so soon after our wonderful November trip! :D

Pretty sad because our next visit will probably be 2002 or early 2003 (what can I do life gets in the way)! Our family is the typical everytime-we-can-go-on-vacation,-we-go-to-Disney-family. We will probably be staying at an All-Star Hotel because we have found it's the one the kids love the most. Is it too early to reserve??? Anyway I am very jealous of all of you going sooner but I do hope you have a wonderful time. Please have an iced-lemonade for me!

We just like trying out all the different resorts. We are renting points from a DVC member for our stay in 2001 it was cheaper that our booking a room at CBR for all those nights this is only costing us 825 or so US mind you but well worth it. My wife and I are considering the DVC so this is also a great way to experiance it first hand. We can't wait

[Pud'nHead]

We'll be there from April 19th to April 26th.

That's 77 Days away from today (Feb 1).

Woo hoo!

[Snowwark]

DSNY FN;
I know it's not until December, but I would be very interested in hearing how things go for you as far as renting DVC points goes. I have read some of the posts on the DVC rent/trade board but have concerns about the whole process.
I would like to join the DVC but DH says "No", at least not until there is improvement in our dollar. That could be never! :rolleyes:
The DVC people called a couple of days ago, and I am waiting for them to send me the info package. We did go on a DVC tour several years ago when they were still doing them at OKW. We should have bought then, the dollar was much better!

:rolleyes:

[DSNY FN]

Snowark we have actually had great success renting points this was our first time doing it. We rented from Nut Hut on the rent trade board he has been great he even has an 800 number to call and he has points at BWV ond OKW. he is a bit more expensive than most people but he has a great plan for it. His points are 12.00 US per point as most others are only 10.00 US per point but he is also in Michigan so we are driving over to meet him on March the 10th. It is all well laid out in contract form very well done and very professional. Anyhow enough about that I will tell you how it all goes when we get back to. I would recommend this to most everyone it is cost effective and hey you get to stay in a deluxe resort for just a little morer than you pay for All Star.

[kellyla]

Unfortunately our next visit with the mouse isnt until December 2002.We will be attempting our first drive down there along the I-95.We will be staying at the All Star Sports(the kids enjoyed playing on the football there)We will be taking two weeks.So this gives me lots of time to save and to do some of the reward boards to earn some of the $'s to go. :D

[PoohBWV]

March break for us. First we are going on a three day Carnival cruise (too good a deal to pass up), then 5 nights at BWV.

PoohBWV, Moderator - Canadian Visitors Board

[tay's mom]

WOOHOO!!! First time ever for this family Feb 28 to Mar 9 staying at DXL for a great rate "insider special". Pooh, where did you get the good cruise rate on Carnival and when do you sail? :rolleyes:

[piglets]

I am planning on surprising my parents for their 35th Wedding Anniversary.

Now, to know my parents is to love my parents. They are not the kind of people that usually like surprises. They always have to get "used" to things.....

So, with that in mind, their anniversary is this year - May 2001 - and I will be presenting them with a souvenir video (which I will make up with old pictures and such) and a small album that will announce their surprise trip in May of the following year - 2002. Certainly this will give them time to get "used" to the idea of this great trip.

They haven't been to Disney in quite a long time (haven't been able to go because of $$$$) and I know that they would really like to go again. I am also coupling this with 3-4 days at Bradenton Beach on the gulf, which they also love.

Kellyla, how do I find out more about these rewards sites?? I have lots of time to plan and save, but it will be here before you know it!!

[maryann4086]

Piglets, for rewards sites, try looking on the Reward forum here at DIS and try www.mycoupons.com. (http://www.mycoupons.com.) Go to shopping boards, then reward programs. The programs I do are Beenz and Suzykats for Disney Dollars, Mypoints for Rainforest Cafe gift certificates, and funbugs for winning prized that goes onto a Master card. Try these for a start, any questions please ask.

I'm not sure when are next trip to WDW will be but our first ever trip to DL is in....drum roll please, 9 DAYS!!!! I can't believe it's almost here. We will probably sneak in a short 4 or 5 day trip this fall, but then real life takes over. In the next 18 months we are getting married and probably buying a house, that doesn't leave much for our WDW obsession. But all our friends and family are convinced we will go to WDW for our honeymoon. We were thinking maybe something different like Disneyland Paris!

Only 68 more days until we drive down to Mickey. Can't wait, this will be my three sons 1st trip to Disney and I can't wait to share this experience with them. Our twin boys will be celebrating their 8th birthday there. I have asked for ideas for their bd if anyone is interested in helping me(Canadian Visitors Section titled twins 8th bd and 1st trip). Any info would be greatly appriciated.

We will arrive in Disney on April 14-21 at Dixie Landings.
All of you who will soon be going down have a great trip. ;)

[rkington]

We fly from Buffalo on March 9th and return home on March 17th. We use Buffalo because the airfares are so much better in the US than in Canada at March break.

First night I just booked at the new Fairfield Inn at Marriott Village ($69). Then 7 nights at DVC - Old Key West.

This year in addition to our 2 teenaged kids, we are taking 2 of my son's friends.

We can hardly wait to go!!

Getting all psyched up reading all the boards and good information.

I agree that the flights out of Buffalo are much cheaper, plus there's none of the customs hassles. For four of us flying direct on Southwest air, runs us about $1000 CDN. Have a great trip!

[nancy13]

We will be there in 3 days. We are staying off prop. at the Rodeway Inn we bokked last minute and it is the only place we could get. Hopefully the place isn't a dive but it's really only meant to be a place to sleep after spending our days at WDW. :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Canadave]

We are going Jan. 26 to Feb. 9, 2002. The first week we're planning on staying at ASMu and we have booked the second week at the Sheraton Vistana Resort. (If anybody has stayed at the Sheraton and has some feedback, We would appreciate it). Less than a year to go!!

[maryann4086]

If it's the same Vistana that has timeshares, then you will have a great time. My sister owns there and I went a took a look around on my last visit. She has a two bedroom with two baths and a full kitchen. It is quite a large place , but easy enought to get around. We went for the bbq, night, and it was good. The store stocks many groceries and the pool areas were big and clean. Have a great time

[Shelly (Canada)]

Just booked flights through airmiles for my DD and myself for November 14-21, 2001, staying at the All Star Movies. It will be the first time we've flown out of our own city as we usually drive 3 hours to Bangor, Maine to take advantage of much better seat sales, so we're very excited about that!

Yet November seems sooooo far away...

http://disneyclipart.simplenet.com/Movies/Peter_Pan/Tinkerbell/tink08.gif

[Canadave]

Thanks maryann4086. This is the same resort. A friend of ours has a timeshare and is letting us use a week of it. It looks like a great place based on what I've heard and the pictures I found of it on the internet. Did you see a lot of children or was it mostly adults?
Canadave

[maryann4086]

There seemed to be an equal amount of both kids and adults. Being that larger families need the extra rooms, I'm sure there will be plenty of children. It's a great location. close to many restaurants, grocery stores, and only about five minutes from Downtown Disney. Do you know which section you are in? Falls, Springs etc.

[farmers wife]

In 26 days!! March 5 to 13. We are so excited!! We are staying off site at Jade East Townhouses through Alexander Homes. We hope it isn't as busy because the March Break starts a week later.
Mickey here we come!!!!!

[JSR]

We finally got booked yesterday. Going from April 27 to May 7. Flying AC/United Winnipeg-Chicago-Orlando. 10 nights at HIFS Kidsuites. DW and I can hardly wait (I suppose the kids may be excited too - 2DDs 7 and 3). After all we haven't been to DW since October 99.

[bashful64]

We're going to be there for the convention. After the convention we are going on the 4 day Wonder cruise and then returning to WDW for a 4 day stay at the AKL.

[maryann4086]

To all those going in the next two months, have a great time. This has been a long winter.

[The B Family]

We are going for our first trip on Feb 21/01 driving 24hrs. Any idea what the crowds and weather are like this time of year.

Thanks for the info.

[SonyaB]

We are a family of 4 driving from Southwestern Ontario for Orlando March 7th - Got all my rooms through priceline . A total of less than $600 Canadian for 11 nights all 3 star hotels. We have 3 days and 1 option left to use from last years WDW pass and we bought the 3 day Universal at par pass and Seaworld passes - a great steal!!!
With gas and all, we might spend about $1600 CAD for the whole 10 days without feeling jipped - and still have a couple days left on the passes for next years winter blues.
We can hardly wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dana]

My mother, my godmother and I will be travelling April 29th to May 6th. Staying at the Swan. We are extrememly excited. This is our first vacation at a deluxe resort. Being Canadian and the money being so bad we could never have afforded it if it wasn't for SwanDolphin. He's a great man!

We had to cancel our trip this past December, so we have rescheduled for December 16 to December 26, 2001. Haven't told our son yet. Think we'll keep it a secret for a while longer. We are staying at the All Star Movies. :)

[Jan-can]

We're leaving on March 8 (19 days), and we still haven't told the kids! (They think they're just going to visit DA and DU at florida home...they'll be in for a big surprise once we get there!)

[DSx2]

We're going Apr 19 - 27. This will be my DH and 2 DS's first trip to WDW. We're staying at ASmo. 40 days to go! <IMG WIDTH="15" HEIGHT="15" SRC="/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif" alt="razz">

[LML]

We're leaving tomorrow for a week. We'll be staying at the All Star Music. We did IOA and US over the Christmas Break. It was too chilly for water parks (they were actually closed due to the weather) So, for this trip we are purchasing an annual water park pass ($106.00 American) and doing a week at the water parks. This is quite a savings as it's $30.00/day for the water parks. We'll be bringing our own towels, snacks and beverages. I'm trying to keep the costs down. I'm hoping the snow is gone when we get back. ;) I did see a robin this morning.....that's a good sign.....isn't it???

[crusnprincesses]

We are going to the resorts (AKL, BC <night before cruise>) then the 7 day Magic cruise, may 5th - 12th, then back to resort, Poly, for last 3 days. Then I'll just sign the farm over to the bank!!! ;)

[Olivia]

We're planning for April 2002. Can't wait! That gives us time to save, save, save... We're planning on staying on site probably one of the All Stars (we were there in 2000 and stayed at AS Music - kids loved it!). If any of you had to choose one of the all stars - which one would it be?

[maryann4086]

All Star Movies. We visited there last year and went for a bite at the food court. I find the layout of this resort a little better than the other two. The Music resort things can be a little farther away. I also, prefer the food court at the Movies. This of course is just my opinion.

[Pud'nHead]

My family and I are going to be at the All-Star Movies from April 19th to April 26th... Small world eh?

I just noticed on a previous post that you have already made note of the fact that we are going down at the same time... dummy me....

3rd time for me (1st since 1989)
3rd time for wife (1st since 1989)
1st time for kids (ages 5 and 4)

Our dates are the same (Dec.16 to Dec.26, 2001), but accommodations have changed a bit. We are biting the bullet and staying at the AKL for the first two nights then over to the All Star Sports for eight nights. I would love to hear what peole think of AKL when you get back.

This is how we are spending our honeymoon:
Aug 5 - 12: 7 Day Western Caribbean cruise
Aug 12 - 17: 5 Days at WDW staying at the Dolphin
Aug 17 - 19: 2 Days spent at Universal at Hard Rock Hotel.

We're so excited.

Sounds like a great honeymoon! Anyone else going the last week of October?
