2007 Thread

[lovemyguys]

Hello! We just returned from a trip to WDW and are now planning on returning in 2007! It seems so far away but yet I am still excited and reading the boards daily. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in starting a 2007 thread with me? We could talk about where we are staying, our past trips, how long the new trip is taking to get here, jealousy over people leaving before us :rotfl: etc...... Let me know if anyone would be interested.

Lisa I am always planning my next trip :goodvibes I am going next in January for 7 nights, and we will make our usual trip in Sept 06 for about 4 nights. I think we will probably continue to do this pattern as long as $$$$ allows :rotfl2: I really like going in January for the weather, and that is when we stay 7 nights. 4 nights in Sept is long enough, it is sooo hot. I hope your next trip comes quick for you :)

[Minerva]

We're hoping to go in 2007. We'll probably have to go during the summer which I am not looking forward to because I don't do heat well so I'm crossing my fingers we can do 10 days and take things slowly with lots of breaks!

[lovespoohbear]

doing may 07 for graduation from college :cool1:

[NC State]

We just returned Oct 1 and yes, that was the first thing I did. Plan a new date! I LOVE Disney. We're planning to go Feb '07. I wish it could be sooner but hey, I do have a date!

[beagle744]

Oct '07 here :goodvibes. Big decision now is where to stay: VWL or OKW

[Adrienne]

yes we are thinking about going again in late 2007, we will hopefully be doing a round the world trip from adelaide(or melbourne deopending on where we are living). We are hoping to hit all the disneys in the world in one trip, starting with HK disney,then tokyo then paris, a disney cruise and wdw and finally DL and CA. (we will also do europe, UK and some other US stuff while we're there and hawaii on the way home).

Adrienne :wizard:

[MagicKingdom05]

I hope Jan 1 and 2, 07 counts. I will be there Dec 16, 2006 to Jan 2, 2007 so I guess I can say I'm sort of planning a 2007 trip.

[lovemyguys]

We stayed at the WLC. We LOVED our trip but now we are trying to decide where to stay next time. We liked staying concierge but felt like we rarely used the "extras" we were paying for. So we are deciding if we should stay concierge again, try a different deluxe or maybe even try a moderate??? We are thinking of going the first week of November 2007. We have a 5 & 3 year old. If we wait unitl 11/07 the 3 year old will be turning 5 and be able to enjoy/get on more of the rides. If we were to go next year he would most likely just be missing the 40 in. mark for alot of the rides. How are the crowds and weather in January and February?? We went 10/29-11/4 and had FANTASTIC weather and NO CROWDS!

Lisa

[lovemyguys]

Yes Jason it counts! :) I would love to hear when you return how CBR compares to WL. If we decide to try a mod. CBR is one we are thinking of.

Lisa

[wvjovifan]

I'm going back in October 07!! Just got back a few weeks ago, going again in May (just me and DH), and in Dec 06 I'm losing my job due to company relocating....I'm taking my severance check and taking my 2 daughters (now age 20 & 22) to Disney for a week....a PRINCESS TRIP!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!
:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

We usually stay at CBR, but the girls and I are thinking about trying CSR.....What do you guys think??? We want to do MNSSHP and some just girlie things....princess lunch, maybe hit the spa....
:earsgirl: :earsgirl: :earsgirl:

[PIRATEGIRL007]

shhh, don't tell my DFi but I already have our 06 dates picked (mid october for MNSSHP) and have narrowed 07 down to a 3 week window. we leave in 15 days for our 05 trip and he has made me promise not to mention the D-word for 2 full months after we are back, that puts me at 2/14/06, so I guess I will break the news to him on Valentines day!

I thought the crowds were very small in January, about the same as Sept. The weather was unpridictable, but nice. You have to pack for warm & cold weather. We mostly wear short sleeves during the day & coats at night.

[Montana Minnies]

When I first responded to this thread we were planning on the first week in Dec.07, now possibly going Dec.8-15,2007. :hourglass
The Dis Boards helped us tremondously with our 2003 & 2004 WDW vacations. :disrocks: So much that my sister and I seemed to know more than our T.A. ;)
So far our group includes: the two "Montana Minnies" ( me and my older sister), our 2 Dear Nieces ( one lives on the East Coast the other on the West Coast) and our DM, who will be 88 by then.
Happy Planning to All :yay:

[marypopfan]

I am also planning on going back in 2007 to celebrate turning 40. I am kind of thinking about going to DL, I have never been and I would like to see it.

[nja33]

May 12-19, 2007 is when we'll be there. We're going for an unofficial family reunion (with 20+ people) and to celebrate my grandmother's 80th, my niece or nephew's 1st, my brother's 25th, and my cousin's 22nd birthdays. My parents became DVC members on our last trip in August so we'll be staying in a Grand Villa at OKW (hopefully). I'm so excited! I'm trying to really plan it already but I know a lot can change in a year and a half. Oh well. I just keep reminding myself that this time next year it'll be really official since we'll have the room booked.

[Hillbeans]

Count us in!! We're planning on going in late March 2007 with some friends and we're going to stay at the Beach Club....very exciting. I've never stayed there and we've always wanted to give that one a try.

We also may be going again Thanksgiving 2007, but that's not set in stone yet and it's with DH's family.

No trips in 2006 though, the baby is too young, and we want to save our money.

[Mickey76]

:earsboy:

I'm in. My fiancee and I will be going probably from July 10 to july 18 for our honeymoon. We're getting married July 7 (a Disney themed wedding, of course) and will leave for WDW a few days later. We're going to stay at the Grand Floridian. I look forward to hearing everyone's plans, as well as sharing my own.

[The Sweetness]

First week of Jone '07. Will stay in a value, so that we can get dd2 back to the room quickly at the end of the day or if she wont sleep in the stroller in the afternoon. Value is for sure all we can afford (DH will complain that we are paying the same or more and not getting the free hot breakfast buffet to begin with) I think I saw someone post somewhere that they had gotten a value rate of $50 per night? Maybe that was with an AP discount, but thats fine, since I'll have those anyway.

Ill visit this thread often, as time creeps by, posting my progress to *prepare* Ariel for her first trip. She'll spend lots of time at Chuck E Cheese next year, getting used to the size of a costumed character. Also watching a few Disney DVD's. I need to prepare as well. I am way out of shape, and need to get used to walking!

[lovemyguys]

I know this is going to probably sound dumb but what is an AP discount or code?? I see people talking about them alot but I have no clue what they mean. :confused3

[DarkSideMoon]

AP= Annual Pass, If you have these then you can get discounted rates on rooms.

[MickeyEars]

Count me in!!! I was so glad to see 2007 trip dates posted. I thought I was the only one who had to wait for sooooo long before our next trip. We were there this past June for 10 nights but we bought a new home a couple of months ago and we simply can't afford a 2006 trip. It looks as though I have no choice but to wait until May 30-June 7 of 2007. It just seems so far away which makes me really sad, but it's good that I'm not alone!!! :sad1:
Thanks for posting!

Carla

[cobbler]

We will be going in 07 as well. (06 too, but that is ok ;) ) Don't know if I should stay at AKL or GF then.

[TandCmum]

we'll be heading back in 2007, we came back from 16 nights about a month ago, and now we are saving like mad for september 2007. We are planning on 21 nights and want to stay at the Polynesian for either all or some of the trip.

It does seem so far away but I'm sure it will fly by.

[Magalex]

We wanted to go back May 2006 but I think we have to wait until Nov. 2007(Thanksgiving). The bright side is that I have more time to save money and would love to stay at WL(if we have to wait that long). But actually it is 2 years away for us. :rolleyes:

POP 4/22-4/30 2005 :cloud9:

[kimg826]

:wave2: Count me in, we were there in May and we are planning our next trip May 07 the week before Memorial Day Weekend. We have been there twice and both times stayed at Carribiean Beach. We love it there but we are thinking about trying a different moderate out. :confused3 If anyone has suggestions, I would really like some info on the Port Orleans. We were scheduled there the first time we went and they closed down the week we were scheduled, so Disney let us choose a different Moderate and thats how we ended up at Carribean Beach. The only down side of CB is the long walks. My cousin and his family are going for the first time ever with us so we want to show them a great time so they get as hooked on Disney as us!! :love:

[PocahontasLookALike]

We are planning for February 2007. But how are the crowds and weather at this time? Planning far in advance is a perk of DVC that we love. We are thinking about BW or trying Beach Club this time. Whatta ya think?

[bcsmom]

We are planning for February 2007. But how are the crowds and weather at this time? Planning far in advance is a perk of DVC that we love. We are thinking about BW or trying Beach Club this time. Whatta ya think?
I have been in Feb, and I wore pants and a short sleeved shirt. At night I had to wear a jacket, but that was in 03. I usually go in Jan now, and it is pretty much the same. I am staying at BC my next trip, it seems like a fun resort. I usually stay at the Poly, but I am looking forward to the Epcot resorts.

[PocahontasLookALike]

How are the crowds in Feb?

[vfb2girls]

We haven't even taken our 2006 trip yet and I am already thinking if we can possibly do another trip in 2007. My husband and myself are planning on taking a cruise to Alaska but we won't be doing that until the summer of 2008. I am hoping that our finances will allow us to do another disney trip since that cruise is going to set us back a few bucks.

[bcsmom]

How are the crowds in Feb?
We were there 2/9/03 - 2/15/03, and the crowds were light the first part of our stay but got a little busier towards the end. I think Presidents week effects the crowds as well as Mardi Gras if it falls in Feb. Feb is better then summer time though.

[PocahontasLookALike]

Good to know! We were there this summer for Memorial Day, so I figure if we can handle that, we can handle anything! And the crowds weren't even that bad over the summer.

[Bracho]

We are taking my favorite aunt and uncle with us to WDW in Nov 07, can't wait. We already have our 2 trips planned for 06.

We'll be getting a 2 bedroom villas at either VWL or BWV, not sure yet.

[luvmy2sams]

We're planning a family trip in early December 2007, staying at the Wilderness Lodge. We never can come home from a Disney vacation (ours is in early January ! :cool1: ) without already having another trip in the works. The January surprise trip is fully planned and funded, so what else are we to do to pass the time? :teeth:

[shafke]

Currently in preplanning stages for Aug '07. Hoping to stay at the Poly. Real planning probably won't start until next summer. DW doesn't even want to talk about it since we haven't even planned any vacations for next year.

[BkrsLoveDis!]

Count us in too - don't know anything more than 2nd week in June of 2007 (crazy hot, I know but this is all planned around when my son's daycare closes for vacation bible school week).

Makes me happy to think that I can plan that far out - makes my DH freak out! :rotfl2:

:Pinkbounc

[sfbank]

You bet I will join you. The day we get back this year we will have 557 days until our next trip!! We will be going in June 07 for DD's 9th birthday. Planning on June 13th-June 21st-doing two days at the beach and two days at Universal first. :cheer2:

[scanne]

I have my August 07 dates all picked out and in the hands of my DU agent who is going to book as soon as we reach the 500 day mark. I think we're going to stay at VWL, BUT, there is a chance we might splurge on a 2 bedroom Polynesian princess suite.

Now, 07 is just TOO TOO TOO long for me to wait, so my mom and I have already booked Oct. 06 as a surprise to my DH and my dad. We're booked at WL, but thinking of switching to a 2 br. villa at VWL.

We'll see...

[lovemyguys]

Well I just emailed 30 people in my family to see if others would like to join us for the 2007 trip. So far 11 have emailed saying they would definately like to come. I guess I will be planning a Grand Gathering. Anyone ever done one of those before?? Do we all have to stay in the same resort? My TA was not in the office today so hopefully she will be in tomorrow to answer all my questions.

Lisa

[TandCmum]

planning a trip for 07 doesn't seem to bad for us in the UK as we can book through travel agents from about next march, so just a few months until i can do some serious planning.

[mommy22gurlz]

I'll join you guys!!! I haven't even been to our FIRST Disney World trip yet (11 more days!!! :goodvibes :goodvibes ). And I know I really can't book a trip for 2006 (we have other financial obligations this coming year) but we are definitely going in '07!! Not sure which month yet but we're going!!

[MomofKatie]

We just came back from WDW on 10/8, and we have 5 park days and 3 Plusses left on our 10 day MYW tickets. So, we are planning on going back in November '07. We want to rent DVC points to stay at Beach Club. If that doesn't work out, though, we would like to try CBR or POR.

[Maverick Mike]

My fiancee' and I are getting married next June (2006) so we will be taking our honeymoon to somewhere other than Disney this year. We have been to WDW for the past two summers, staying at the POP Century, and loving every minute of it!

We have already planned to visit WDW in June 2007 with friends of ours. It will be our first anniversary, and our friends' 17th anniversary two days later. So we are really looking forward to it. We have never traveled to WDW with friends from home, so that should be different. I'm hoping to stay at the Beach Club this time, but we will see. I also love the Polynesian, but we are both teachers, and don't know if we can afford that..

MM :teacher:

How many days??

[Mickey76]

:earsboy:

Has anyone here done concierge at the Grand Floridian before? If so, what are the pros and cons? I briefly thought about this the other day and since I'm spending my honeymoon there in 7/07, I was just curious as to what concierge service is like there.

Maverick Mike, congrats on your upcoming wedding. I will be getting married a little more than a year after you do.

[Maverick Mike]

Thanks! Best wishes to you as well!!

We were also there during Hurricane Charley. We rode it out on the top floor of one of the 70's buildings at the POP Century. I will say that I will never forget this!


MM :teacher:

[Mulan'sMom]

We're going back for Jersey Week in 2007. I started planning as soon as we got back from WDW in October. I'd go in 2006, but don't want my family to think that I'm one of those crazy Disney people who can't stop obsessing about their next trip. :rotfl: Moderation in all things! Anyway, I've pretty much settled on either CSR or the Dolphin, depending on rates, meal plan availability at that time, etc. But I could be talked into Beach Club if I can rent someone's DVC points. If only there were a 12-step program to help me stop daydreaming about vacation in the World.

[schweig]

We are planning on a March '07 trip. Just waiting for the school calendar to be approved for the official dates. This will be our first trip that will not be during Christmas Break. Planning on a day at Discovery Cove. Will stay at the Grand Floridian, but unsure of Tower room or Lagoon View. Usually stay Lagoon View...Already saving in my credit union, change/dollar jar is half full and am doing cafeteria duty to pay in full for my trip.

[Mickey76]

:earsboy:


Can someone please answer my question that is on the bottom of page 3 in this thread? I'd greatly appreciate it. Sorry to sound pushy. That's not my intent.

[Savin4Disney]

Yep! We are going in 2007 too. Not sure when until I get a new job and know what the vacation schedule is like. I will tell you it will not be in the summer. There is no way I can handle the heat or the crowds.

We just got back from the Thanksgiving trip and I am ready to go back.

I know we are staying at AK with a savannah view. I would like to do 8 days at least. But again have to see what the vacation schedule looks like. Unless I do 2 trips...hmmmm there is a thought.

[luvdzny]

We are hoping to go in June 2007 to celebrat DD's & her DBF's graduation. If the medical bills will ever go away we will be at AKL!!!!

[mantysk8coach]

We are planning a "Magical Gathering" for December of 2007. It will be my 30th Birthday...I thought celebrating my 30th birthday at WDW would sort of soften the blow. My parents, DH parents, and my aunt and uncle and family are all considering coming. I'm hoping my grandparents will still be healthy enough to join us too.

Probably will be Pop Century, mid-December before the Christmas crowd picks up.

We are going in June of 2006 though, so I have that trip to look forward too first.

[Eeyorecln]

We're going Dec. 2007 for our 10th anniversary. I can hardly wait, it's my first onsite trip. :cheer2: We're still trying to figure out where to stay at. We'll probably need 2 rooms as there are 6 of us. Does anyone know what hotels are the prettiest at Christmas time?

[lovemyguys]

Mickey76 - I wish I could help with your question. I have only stayed concierge at the WL. Sorry I could be more of a help.

Lisa

[nemmie]

We are getting married in Disney in May 2007 :cool1:

[eeyorina]

We are planning on going March 07 during my DD's spring break from College. Would love to stay at the BC but will be happy at mod or value as long as I'm at Disney. Our last trip was April 05 and we stayed at the Pop. I promised my husband I wouldn't plan another trip for 2 years. It's going to be a long wait.

[Disney Spaz]

We are hoping for Dec of 2007. It will be our new babies first trip and I can't wait. We are hoping to stay at AKL as it will be the last trip for our then 16 year old son. I keep checking so I can start the ressies but my AAA travel agent said they won't be avainable for Christmas 07 until late Spring 2006. :guilty:

[LisaMayTX]

We're going for Spring Break in March of 2007. I'm just waiting to get the approved school calendar. DH and I spent our honeymoon & 6th anniversary at WDW, so it will be natural to spend our 10th anniversary there as well! We'll stay at either POR or POFQ (stayed at POFQ in 3/2003 and LOVED it!). The waiting is SO hard!!! :earseek:

[bellarose23]

My mom and I are already plotting several trips. :rotfl: One for Easter '07, one for New Years '08, and Halloween possibly for '09. That one depends on when I finish grad school, because October is mid-terms. At first we weren't sure what my dad would think of all this, but he actually suggested doing Cirque de Soliel (?) on New Year's. I think we've rubbed off on him after all these years...there's no resisting the Disney magic! We'd love to do the cruise someday too, maybe when my sisters graduate high school in eight years! :rotfl2:

Just keep planning, planning, planning....
:earsgirl: :banana:

[theostwalts]

We are going Late 2006 or Early 2007. Like many of you we are waiting on the official 2006-2007 school calander. There are 3 proposed calanders out now. It looks like there may be some teacher workdays the week after MLK weekend so the 3rd week of January looks like a possibility. I did a search of some posts about MLK weekend and the following week. Does anyone here have any thoughts about that week?

[BankBunny]

DH and are will be going May 6, 2007-May 16, 2007.
We should be going in 2006, but are going on a cruise in January instead. We will being staying at POR. We stayed there the last time that we went and totally fell in love with it. Those are all the details that we have for now.

Savin4Disney-
I guess you and I have even more reason to reach our goals from WISH.

[sfbank]

We just got back Sunday and are going the end of May or the first part of June 07. We have decided we are not staying anywhere but the Boardwalk ever again. It was magical. I can't wait and think it will be fun to look forward to with everyone!! :cool1:

[nluvwithmickey]

We have a Ajnuary 2006 trip coming up but will probably be thinking about going again same time in 2007 if we enjoy that time of year.


This will be a couples only trip and we have never been to WDW in Jan. Hopefully it will become a new tradition. The kids will love it, they usually go in the July heat....But I think that they are getting tired of sweating so much LOL.

[DisDee]

This thread is just what I need right now. I'm missing the pre-Christmas fun at WDW. Our last trip was Sept-Oct and we won't be returning again until Jan 2007. We upgraded our tickets to non-expiring from our MYW plus FREE dining package, so we have 3 days to play! We just need to fine tune all the details, but we've got a year to do it! I just love planning our WDW trips! I'm sure all of you understand and "get it".

[Aisling]

Count me in for a 2007 trip. We're leaving for WDW and our first DCL cruise in 2 weeks, so it's going to take me until 2007 to save up for our next trip. But that's ok, as long as I have a trip planned, I'll be ok! The actual booking won't be done until we return from the cruise, but by this coming January, we'll officially be going back to WDW in 2007.

I hate it that I have to skip a year in my siggy, since we've traveled to either WDW or Universal every year since 2000, but oh well, this cruise is breaking the bank for a little while.

I'm planning a late August 2007 trip, which seems like ages to wait, but I booked my cruise 16 months out, and now it's here. So beginning January, I'll be a regular here. I hope this thread lasts!

[Katerbug]

We are planning on going in April 2007!!!! :cool1: :banana: :cool1: :banana:
We are very excited. This will be our first trip. :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

You're going to LOVE it! :jumping1:

[Woodcourt]

YIPEE!!! We are going on Jan 2007. We just cant wait any longer. Just had a baby and want to wait for him to be at least 1 before we go...so we are thinking maybe going on Jan 1st for a week! We have to wait until DH gets more vacation in Jan, but LOVE being there around the holidays!!!

I am already SO excited!!! Thinking we are going to try the Wilderness Lodge this time around. We have stayed at Pop and POFQ before. Always talk about deluxe, but decide to save money when it comes down to it...but..the whole cabin in the woods, with the fireplace when its cold...I like that idea!!!!

:cool1:

[Bride In The Attic]

We're in for 2007! Just returned last week from 7 days at the Poly and we've already got our dates for 2007 - Nov 25th - Dec 2 - 8 days at the Poly!

In a few weeks we can start saying we are going "next year" instead of in two years - sounds better anyway! :)

[mommy22gurlz]

Come on guys!!! Let's keep this thread going....We are going May 07 and I am in Disney withdrawal big time right now!!!

We just got back from our first Disney World trip last Saturday. We were there for 7 days, and I swear I have never seen smiles on my kids faces nonstop like they were while in Disney World. It is truely the most fun we have ever had, and seeing my kids enjoy it the way they did was so worth the money and time spent planning. Now that we're back it so depressing!!!!

But that's why we need to keep this thread going to keep us excited for our next trip!! :goodvibes

When I first subscribed to this thread, I wasn't sure which month we were planning on going but I think I decided on May 4- May 13, which my dd6 will be celebrating her 8th birthday while there so that will be fun for her!

I don't know if this is already mentioned in this thread but does anyone know when they will release rates for 07? And when can we book?

[bellarose23]

I am having major withdrawl symptoms. We got back Sunday from a weeklong trip, and Monday at work/school was HARSH! :sad: I came home and my mom was misty-eyed. We looked at each other, laughed, and both said "I want to go back!" at the same time! :rotfl:

We had never been there during the holiday season, and I was so speachless by how beautiful everything was. We got to stay deluxe this time too, which was a total treat. My new favorite resort is the Boardwalk!

My cousin will likely do another CP internship in '07, so hello Disney discounts! We're contemplating moving down there and becoming cast members for life. :rotfl2:

Must start planning...think warm thoughts....pixie dust...
Planning will keep me warm during the brutal Chicago winter... :cold: ...stupid wind!

I miss the mouse!

[jtdl]

We're planning for March 4 - 11, 2007 at WDW and the next week at the beach. We're in the middle of a snow storm right now so I really wish we were there now! :cold: :cold: :cold: :cold:

[theflowerladee]

I got back last saturday the 3rd and was wearing shorts saturday afternoon , woke up home in nj sunday morning to snow....i want to be back. I think
about it everyday. Just picked up my pictures this afternoon and it makes
the withdrawals even worse.

As far as I know there is no reason you can't book '07 now, they will
just tell you the price may be adjusted when the new listing comes out.
Before we became dvc members I always booked that far in advance, so
I could budget my trip.

:earsgirl:

[kerry34]

I will be planning our 2007 trip once I get back from our trip that starts this weekend. We are looking at April vacation time. Havent decided where we will be staying yet though. Will be working on that when I get back.

[bride03]

We are planning a January 7-11 trip for 2007 but now I'm wondering about the marathon...I went once during this and had no problems with crowds...but I may have just had good luck with that. I hope that it won't be too bad.

[Minerva]

We've decided we're doing Spring Break 2007. We'll probably go down on March 31 and leave the Monday after Easter. We've invited my mom to join us on this trip. She really wants to go and my dad just can't do all the walking and isn't exactly the Disney type anyway. Having her with might help with some of the crowds we'll be running into since we can split up in two groups of two. We're hoping to start the trip by spending the first Saturday at Kennedy Space Center then on to 7 days in the parks. It can't get here soon enough!

[FloridaSam]

We've booked today for 2007.

We going to Pop again for 21 nights on 23rd March 2007. Only 14 months to go!!! :banana:

[susan1]

hi
yes another 2007, two years away exactly,it's our 40th wedding anniversary,so we have promised ourselves a holiday present, to go to wdw for christmas, doing the christmas party as well. will be booking and saving soon. :banana: :banana: :banana: :cheer2: :cheer2: ::MickeyMo :

[Tree]

We are planning to go in late June 2007....

I haven't booked any rooms yet.

[ntburns22]

October 2007 here. We will most likely stay at ASMo again because the kids love it there. I would really love to move up but the kids are only young once.

[Bride In The Attic]

This 500 day out booking rule is killing me...I remember when you could book years in advance...it's killing me not to have an official ressie on the books..I have to wait unitl August to book for November 2007

[The Sweetness]

Update, 17 months out. Most likely no ap's package instead. For sure want ASMO pongo bldg. Its the only place Ive stayed onsite, and I loved it. Unless, someone wants to treat us to the GF :rotfl::rotfl2:

[Disneyenthusiast]

We are looking at going in late march or April 2007. I would like to avoid most of the spring break madness, but want to see the fireworks, parades and have later hours that usually only happen in peak times. Does anyone have any idea of when would be a good time? When will the peak season end and value season begin? We have never done WDW before. Heat and humidity are not my friends... How soon do you need to book?

[disneydreamer1970]

We are planning a trip for Halloween of 2007! At this point, we are planning on staying at CBR and plan on going for 10 days!! We took our DS for MNSSHP when he was 8 and have decided that we need to take DD (she will be just shy of 7)! It was a total blast!! My parents are planning on joining us as well as my sister and neice for a couple of days!! It is never to early to plan the next trip!!

Trish

[jodistar]

I'm hoping to go back in 2007 as well! Count me in :cool1: . I hope to go back for my 2nd Wedding Anniversary! We just went there for our honeymoon - we had such a fabulous time. We would have been going back this year but I don't think that is doable.....We want to have some spending money, etc.

[debjoisme]

I am planning on taking my son and daughter and grandson in October for both grandsons 4th birthday and for MNSSHP. My daughter and I were there in 2000 and while we had a wonderful time, we can't wait to bring Evan here for his first time! My son who will be 29 when we come back has not been to DisneyWorld since he was 9, so is he in for a treat. We are staying in the Fort Wilderness Cabins and I am really excited. :cheer2:

[BuzzNutt]

We will be going in August 2007. We cannot wait! This will be our first time at GF and are so excited. It is a birthday present for our son, he turns 6 on Labor Day.

[lovemyguys]

It is now official. We can all say....WE ARE GOING NEXT YEAR!!!! ::yes:: :banana: :tongue: :hyper: :wizard:

I know how you feel - the 500 day out rule is getting to me.

[lovemyguys]

We are also planning on November! I am actually going to try and plan a Grand Gathering. Has anyone ever went with a large group of family members??? Any tips???
Lisa

[MomOf2DisneyKids]

count us in.....July '07!!!!!!!!!!! :banana:
(probably split stay at ASMo and WL....if I had my way, it would be all WL...if they kids had their way, it would be all ASMo :rotfl: )
It is waaaaaaaaay too far away!!! :sad:

[mommy22gurlz]

It is now official. We can all say....WE ARE GOING NEXT YEAR!!!! ::yes:: :banana: :tongue: :hyper: :wizard:


Lisa

I said this SAME exact thing to my family on New Year's day morning!! YAY! :goodvibes

[3dog2kidmom]

Still in the works but it makes the post-trip let-down so much easier to take knowing we're planning another trip "next year".

[heatherlynn444]

I am going jan 07!

[Beejie]

Planning for family reunion trip in 2007 - possibly Christmas.

[josh0208]

Also planning a family reunion in Summer 2007! :banana:

[disneyluver626]

We are planning our 3rd trip for June 8th 07. My husband doesn't want to go again this year although I have been trying desperatly to figure our ways to swing it. No luck so I guess it's 07 for us.

June 04 All Star Resort
June 05 Port Orleans- Riverside
June 07- Boardwalk Villas
:cool1:

[annie1995]

As much as I would love to go this year. I don't want to go pregnant or with a really new baby. Sooooo, I guess it's 2007 for us too! Probably late August or Mid September. DH's schedule for next year won't be out till December, so I can't even pick our dates yet. :sad:

[Dana49]

In 2007, we'll be staying at the Polynesian starting the Sunday after Thanksgiving. I can already feel the spirit of "Aloha." :paw:

[mommy22gurlz]

I just can't wait till May so I can say it will be less than a year till Disney!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know when WDW release the rates for '07?

:goodvibes

[Lookn4Mickey]

I think it will be end of AUg. 07 for us!! I sat down with dh last night and got the go ahead to plan for 07 (I was really wanting to do a 06 trip, but I'll take 07). :goodvibes

[disneyfamilyof5]

We will definitely be going back in May of '07 :hyper: .... Such a long, long time away.... :sad1: I went ahead and made me a 'ticker' to give me something to look forward to!! :thumbsup2 :cool1:

[kimnscott]

We are think maybe the second week of dec 07. Does any one know how the crowds are at this time? Also We have stayed at All star sports, The villa's at the disney institute, and Carribean Beach. Does anyone have any good suggestions for another hotel.

[sskem96]

It is now official. We can all say....WE ARE GOING NEXT YEAR!!!!

Oh my gosh, I didn't even realize!!! We are planning sometime around Thanksgiving to second week of Dec. 07. The kids want to be there for the filming of the Christmas parade, so we're kind of planning around that, but hoping for a 2 week stay so our dates will be a little flexible. The kids were a little disappointed that they didn't see people like Raven, Hillary Duff, or Christie Carlson Romano when we were there. To them, that's Disney because they watch the teenie bopper shows all the time, not so much the animated movies. I expected there to be an area in MGM at least themed toward current Disney channel stuff, although I knew we wouldn't really see any stars. They're hoping if we go at a time when we know the stars are actually there, we'll have a better chance of seeing a few! (My 9 year old hopes to marry Zach or Cody!)

[erinstar]

I'm hoping to go for the first time on Sept/Oct 07 - I can't wait!!

[eblack0409]

DH and I will be chaparoning foreign exchange students in Feb 2007...from what I have been told, we will stay at ASMo...like we would have this year, if there had been enough kids go...I am sure there will be another trip, probably September..but nothing planned out yet!

[lorli]

We have 2 trips planned for 2006, and already planning for August 2007 trip to get more use out of an annual pass. There is always another trip to be planned for, it's Disney World.

[pamdaniels]

We are going April 14-21. Dont know where we are staying...I would sleep along the side of any road if I had to, so long as I'm in WDW... :rotfl2: It will be my DD, her DGM, my DGD, her DM & two of my best friends...They have never been, so I get to plan the entire trip....I am so happy I could scream..... :cheer2: :banana: :cheer2: :cool1: :cheer2:

[CMAXphoto]

We are going Sept 07! Sooo far away! I am working on my scrapbook album from last Sept to help pass the time. We stayed at the Coronado during Labor day week with DS7 and DD8mo.

Looking at POR next time. :Pinkbounc

[mamacatnv]

We have been home for 2 1/2 weeks and I am scheduling another trip for 1/1-9/07 :goodvibes . Will probably stay at ASMu as we did this past trip. Really liked it, very reasonable costs and we had no complaints. Left us lots of excess money to buy pins!!!

MamaCatNV

[MaeDisney]

wow! And I thought I was the only one who's into long-term planning! :teeth:

Living in Southern CA, we've been to Disneyland several times but last year was our first trip to WDW, and we all loved it so much and so now we all can't wait to go back! And originally we planned to visit again this year, but there were some change of plans. So this summer, we're visiting relatives in Southeast Asia BUT a Disney trip is still not out of the way...because we also will get to visit HK Disneyland. :sunny:

So now, I'm planning 2 vacations, 1 for this year, and 1 for August 2007, which will be our first trip home to SSR. I'm so excited, and that's all I could think about right now :Pinkbounc (which is not really a good thing because I'm currently at work!! :surfweb: ) ;)

[mainewmn]

And here I thought I was one of the first ones to plan my returned trip for 2007. It looks like it will be April or May the worst case scenario will be October or November trip for us. Or maybe if I just happened to “accidentally” purchase AP passes there will be 2 trips in 2007? :teeth:

[Montana Minnies]

This 500 day out booking rule is killing me...I remember when you could book years in advance...it's killing me not to have an official ressie on the books..I have to wait unitl August to book for November 2007

Thanks for the information. We have never stayed at the Polynesian Resort before and did not know how far in advance we would need to book our reservation for Dec.8-15, 2007.
Do you go through a Travel Agent or do it yourself? We have used AAA in the past, but our TA seems reluctant to quote a price until the 2007 rates are available. Good we have the Dis Boards to keep us informed! :thanks:
"Montana Minnies" ::MinnieMo

[simzac]

You can add us to the 2007 group. We will be at POR for 4 nights beginning Dec 31, 2006. Then on to our first DCL Jan 4-7, 2007. We are so excited. Too bad we still have 11 months til we leave. :lmao:

[kinntj]

What? 2007? I'm planning for 2008 trip. I only know it'll be 7 days at WDW at the POLY. Don't know time of year or anything. With 2 kids in school that year, it'll be hard to do it during that time. Maybe February or June.

It's great to read your planning stories though.

[pooksma]

July 2007


And February cant be over soon enough~I need to book something, anything... :hourglass
Actually I know it will be a room at CSR (I hope) :surfweb:

[DonnaDuck]

We got home a week ago and are planning another!! We had such great weather and low crowds on our trip that we are thinking of going the week after MLK weekend again!! Not sure where we will stay. We are thinking of staying at Pop again...but we may end up upgrading because my brother and his family also want to come along this time. I've got a lot of planning to do...can't wait...2007 can't get here fast enough!

[dznyacct]

We leave in 50 days for our Spring Break trip. I think we may also go in September with good friends of ours (who at 75 years young are just as big of WDW fans as I am :teeth: ). This Christmas we decided to have an extended family WDW trip with DH's 2 brothers, their spouses and kids and my in-laws for summer 2007 :thumbsup2 ! Oh and I forgot, DS and I have been doing a "mom and me" (and sometimes a friend of DS) Spring Break trip for a few years in a row, SO it is very likely that we'll be there in March 2007. I know, I know.........I have a serious addiction :crazy: . Thank goodness for DVC, Annual Passes and cheap flights on SWA :banana: .

[shondad]

Our return scheduled for June 2007, 2weeks, YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For now we are planning to stay at Pop Century.

[tink4ever]

We went with our DD for a college cheerleading trip Jan 2006 and we are leaving March 21-26 (in 32 days) for the VWL and I have now started planning our January 2007. We will stay the weekend of the 12 in the Allstars with our DD and her cheer squad and then on Jan 15-19 we will move to VWL. I have to wait until Feb 20 to book thru DVC but I am so excited. Everything is planned for next months trip so now I get to start all over. I think that is the best part! Happy planning! :cheer2:

[pooksma]

Tick tick tick :hourglass :hourglass Shameless bump so I can get geared up to book in a couple weeks. :thumbsup2

[vanreg]

We will be going for the first time Jan 20-27....over DD's birthday. Can't wait for it to get here and really wish 2007 rates would come out so we can book! Planning to stay at POR....family of 5.....does anyone know if that is a good choice?

[HockeyGoddess]

we're going also for the first time 02/10/07 - didn't even wait for the rates booked AKL for seven nights....fingers crossed for at discount!!!

[kinntj]

We are now planning our May 2007 trip for 7 days! :banana: :banana:
I'm doing the research and then will sit down with DH and make some decisions. We'll have to see my DD's schedule when she gets out of school next year to get exact dates.

This is nice because we can plan to buy some Disney Dollars for souveneirs, snacks and the like while we wait. We're most likely going to purchase the DP if it's still available. Can't wait!!!! :Pinkbounc

[tink4ever]

We leave in 21 days!! We are booked for Jan 2007!! :cheer2: :cheer2: We will stay at our DVC in VWL. Can't wait. Already planning

[Luthien]

Count us in for 2007! I was there the 1st week of Feb for business (it was very sad not having my family with me!) and we all were there Nov. 27 - Dec 7, 2005.

Next trip will be for our 15th anniversary which is in early October. However, we are not sure if we are going to do two weeks in October, or 16 nights in November/December. Not sure where to stay either - YC is our home-away-from-home, DH wants to do a split with GF, and on my Feb trip I visited AK for breakfast at Boma and loved the look and feel of that resort too! We are now being crazy enough to consider a triple split GF/AKL/YC!

Happy planning to all!

Cheers-
~Luthien

[Lindamary123]

We are planning 5 or 6 nights Jan. 2007 in a 2 bedroom at BWV. The plans haven't been finalized yet, it's still up in the air exactly who's coming and what dates. I know DH and I are going! :thumbsup2

[bigbabyblues]

We'll be there! Sometime around the end of May, depending on when DS gets out of kindergarten. Probably close to Memorial Day, and hopefully staying around for younger DS' 4th birthday!

[kristenhh]

Say November or December?

[mickeysaver]

No solid plans yet, but I do hope to be at WDW, DL, or on DCL for my 40th birthday next year. I think will will most likely be at WDW, but I would like to see DL and do a cruise at some point.

Not being in active planning mode is so hard for me. I usually have something to be working on, but at this point, I am just in wait and see mode. It seems like December was years ago, not just a 2-1/2 months ago. I am so addicted to pixie dust. Maggie

[Luvamouse]

for us. :cool1: November 19th - 28th at Wilderness Lodge. DH and I turn 40 in 2007 so we decided on a family trip so he and 2 DD's can experience Disney for the first time! Killing me to wait 'til July for my rooms! The fun is in the planning for me though.

I had the same thought. I will be turning 40 January 2007 and I told my DH that I had to be in the MK on that day or it would be a horrible birthday. I hope you and your DH enjoy your 40th in the World!!!There is no better place to be! :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: Especially if it is the first time. The first time is sooo magical! :cheer2: :cheer2:

[TinaMedley]

We are gong May 2007! Don't know were to stay yet. I figure I won't get to excited until after May 2006, so I can say in a year we will be going!!!

[kmccain]

We are going August of 2007.

We are leaving on August 3, 2007 and arriving on August 6th. In 21 days it will the 500 days and I can book 12 days at Fort Wilderness. I am having AAA do my reservations to get a 15% discount. We are staying for 12 days!

We have gone every 5 years for 2 years, this will be our third trip. I can't wait! I thougth I was planning too soon but I can see that I am not the only one!

I know it will be hot in August but after the NE winters I am ready! We usually pull the kids out of school and go in Oct but DS will be a Senior that year. DD will be 15! It will probably be our last trip as a family! :grouphug:

I can't wait!

:tink:

We are doing the exact same thing!! Planning for May of 2007 and checking the kids' school schedule. My daughter is bringing her cousin and they are in two different school districts so I have to work around those. :rolleyes: Can't wait!! :banana: :cool1:

[JL123]

We're with you kinntj and disneyfamilyof5! Planning a 7 day trip in early May 2007. Now to get the school schedule...

At this point, we're planning to book POR and try out the dining plan. The DP sounds like a great deal if nothing changes! Happy planning! :goodvibes

[mamacatnv]

Took the plunge I have reserved and put down the deposit for POFQ for
1/1-9/07 :cool1: :cheer2: :cool1:

Bought the airfare last month and not having "confirmed rooms" was making me :crazy: now I have confirmed rooms so I am feeling better :goodvibes

Now if time would only move a little faster :rolleyes:

[joby]

We are planning to go in January with my husbands mother and father. Is it crowed at this time?

[Magalex]

Started out planning for Thanksgiving 2007. Maybe changing our minds to June 2007. The second week hopefully. Maybe hot but don't have to worry about high holiday prices and school functions. :sunny:

[saffymom]

We are going Feb 1- Feb 8 2007. :banana:
Probably staying at CSR or POR (if MIL decides to join us). If a good room only rate comes out, hopefully I can convince DH to stay at WL.

[Brown Family]

Our family just decided to go next March 3-10 the girls Spring Break. We have gone before, but this time we our renting a house with our own pool.We have stayed on the grounds before, but trying something different this time. We have along countdown. We our surprising the girls with this as a Christmas present.

[jodustoby]

Count me in for 2007. Planning a big extended family trip for Feb 2007. Staying in a house with pool. Can't wait!! First visit for everyone!!
My only concern is everyone is talking about how crowded it will be President's Week which is when we are going. But it's the only time in Feb my husband could go. Thought Feb would be a good month to go!! Oh, well! Still excited!!! :cool1: :cool1:

[MomOf2DisneyKids]

booked last weekend for July '07!!! :yay: :yay: Are we there yet?? :teeth:

[Azure]

Congratulations everyone!

[theirish68]

Booked a split stay between POR and CR.... Be our first trip in 3 years and 2nd ever time with the kids. Since the last time the middle (now the middle) was only 3 and the youngest wasn't even born it should be like our first time....

I think I'm more excited than the kids.

[MeggerasMa]

January 2007 for us. First return to the World since 1995. This time probably just dh and myself. The grown up "kids" are whining, but with other obligations and college loans their vacation time is more limited than ours. Maybe if we decide to tell them our exact dates they'll decide to come along?????? Anyway, can't wait. Hope everyone's trip is terrific!

[kimmy kay]

Just booked today for March 8-16. We're staying at POR. Going to the parks and Busch Gardens and Discovery Cove.

[wdwlver]

Planning a trip in early May with me, DH and our kids, and our friends and their kids. Can't wait!

[mantysk8coach]

Planning a trip for December 2007...for my 30th birthday! :bday:

[lisajl]

I would love to go back for the free dining this year, but it is just not do-able due to Boy Scout camps, etc.

We are planning a Nov '07 trip. Hopefully, all will work out and we can get there then.

Have fun planning everyone!!!

Lisa :wizard:

[love~disney]

I'm so glad to see so many of you are going in 2007. It seems like forever from now and it will be nice to chat with you guys to make the days go by faster. My DH and I are planning on going June 9-19. We are so excited. :yay: :bounce: :cheer2: :banana: :Pinkbounc

[Stepharia]

We were just there in Oct. and as soon as we came home I was already trying to plan for 2007. I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that. I'm so excited we are actually planning two trips next year. One in March after our cheerleading competition in Jacksonville and then again the first week in December. I can't wait 2 times in one year :banana:

We were married there on April 1st so of course we are now planning our 1st anniversary trip!! :cloud9: :love: Probably the first week of April (which is the week of Easter I believe) We'll deal with the crowds and I know we'll have a magical time. :goodvibes

[SueRS]

We are going for 7 days on land at WDW and then a 7 day Wonder Cruise.

I am so excited!!

[RainbowsMist]

We booked our Villa a month ago and tonight booked our flights for
March 9 - 23 2007! We're driving from Nova Scotia to Boston, then flying from BOS to MCO.

We saved over 2000-2800 by driving across the border. I'm so excited! :banana:

[MissKris721]

I am so excited for a 2007 thread! My fiance and I are going to WDW for our honeymoon. We are going from June 3rd-11th. We are staying at the Grand Floridian. We know we want to get the dining package (the one that includes tix to Cirque du Soliel). My fiance has not been to disney since he was 11 or 12 (he'll be 30 when we go) and the last time I was at Disney was 1997. It sounds like most of you are returning vacationers. Any advice on restaurants or shows would be fantastic! I have some books and guides but it's always better to get recommendations from people!

[Sunkissed]

Have booked on DCL for 10/18/07 departure to celebrate my birthday on 10/20. Will be staying at CBR for two days prior in order to fulfill a longtime dream of the F & W Festival!!

[Zippa D Doodah]

I am glad to find a 2007 thread! We will be going in January 2007. I am currently daydreaming about a possible stay at the WL. :banana:

[PKWallaby]

Put me down for March 2007!!! :cool1:

Already have ressie set thru AAA for first part of our stay at POR, then BWV for 5 nights(first time renting pts) then finish with a week off-site thru an RCI exchange.

Only have to wait 9 more days to book our flights...

Then wait until Sept to schedule ADRs...

All this waiting :hourglass ...but I would not go anywhere else!!!


Happy planning to all :thumbsup2

[Ragnrok23]

Disneymooning June 19-28, 2007 :cloud9:

Staying at GF 6/19-6/24 :bride: (for her)

then a 4 night Disney Cruise :bride: (also for her)

At least I was able to talk her into Disney :stir:

[kkevcamsmom]

Our first time ever will be Jan 27 to Feb 3 2007! I am too excited. DH thinks I have gone overboard on the planning but he has no clue... :rotfl:

A couple of people at his work have been several times so they are telling him my planning is necessary ;)

I just feel like :dance3: :cheer2: :Pinkbounc :yay: :dancer: party:

[pookybean]

I am going to go in 2007 too! No matter what! We just came back May 16 and i am already thinking of the next. My DH is not so enthusiastic. :sad2: But if we have to go without him then we will!

I would love to go in May again. It was perfect, but my DS would love to go for his B-Day in Dec. 1) I heard it was the most crowded around christmas and more expensive. 2) It may also be cold. I live in philly so i know it will be warmer than here, but warm enough to swim and stuff???? and

3) I DONT WANNA WAIT THAT LONG!!!!!!!! :blush:

So i dont know what to do. This may be the last time i can pull the kids out of school for a vaca. My son goes to a demanding magnet school and while he is doing/always has done/and i am sure he will continue to do great, 7th grade is a very important year to meet high school requirements so i dont want him to miss anything. and then high school.....geesh.


Ahhhhh....i just wanna book and be able to count down!

Glad I have others in the boat with me :grouphug:

We are taking MIL the end of September beginning of October. Staying at GF Concierege leve. I think we arrive September 24. Kind of hoping they do the free dining thing but if not oh well. MIL has never been before.

[DisDee]

We're going at the end of Jan. We changed our minds and decided not to stay at AKL and rent points from a DVC owner instead. We'll be staying in a studio at the BCV for half of what we would pay at AKL. We love AKL and plan to spend some time there for a meal or spa treatment. The location of BCV can't be beat as Epcot is our favorite park.

[MzDiz]

We'll be there the first or second week of March. Not sure where we're staying yet, that all depends on how much money I can round up between now and then. :rotfl: I'm aiming for AKL though!

[Disneyanajc]

Booked for May 8th to May 19th, 2007. :cheer2:
We may add a night and split our stay between the Polynesian, 9 nights
and the Animal Kingdom Lodge 3 nights. Now to find some great airfares
for this trip.

[Blueberry]

Hoping for March 10-18th in 2007..... :sunny:

[TinaMedley]

We are hoping to go during Star Tours! My DS loves Star Wars (not to mention DH also!) So, we need to deciede where to stay, I haven't figured it out yet. Just can't wait!!!

[darrylpan]

My next trip to POR will be Sept. 13 to Sept. 23 2007. Fifteen months away and already I cant sleep!!

[annie1995]

My next trip to POR will be Sept. 13 to Sept. 23 2007. Fifteen months away and already I cant sleep!!

That is the same time frame we are shooting for, it will all depend this December when the vacation book for my husbands employer goes around. I didn't realize that we were down to 15 months though! :woohoo:

[dixiedizfan]

We'll be at Pop Century December 31st, and AKL January 1 - 7. Can hardly wait, but planning the trip and reading these boards is so much fun!

[gems_smiling]

We have not even gone on this years trip yet (78 days to go) and already planning next years. We plan to go next year in early September or late September/Early October. When do the Halloween celebrations start? Does it affect the crowds a lot? We plan to stay at AKL for 15 nights.

[maxiesmom]

I am planning on May 2007 for 5 nights, and early October 2007 for at least 5 nights. May should be at the Pop so I can stay at an Epcot resort in October for the big birthday party! :banana: :banana:

[mantysk8coach]

We are planning a big family trip (siblings, grandparents, etc.) for my 30th birthday in December of 2007, but recently decided that my DH and I are going to take a short trip (maybe three nights) for our 5th anniversary in June 2007.

Gotta make a new ticker!

[jenr812]

doing may 07 for graduation from college :cool1:
Me too!!! :cheer2:

[jenr812]

We just got back from our first Disney World trip last Saturday. We were there for 7 days, and I swear I have never seen smiles on my kids faces nonstop like they were while in Disney World. It is truely the most fun we have ever had, and seeing my kids enjoy it the way they did was so worth the money and time spent planning. Now that we're back it so depressing!!!!


That is EXACTLY how I felt when we returned from our first trip last July! :lovestruc

[buttons]

We will be there December 31-January 6 at the ASMu Family Suites with MIL and FIL. I CAN HARDLY WAIT!!

[jimmalru80]

We always plan our next trip. June, July or August of 2007. Polynesian or Beach Club. Details to follow.

[ShannonN]

Can't wait!! :Pinkbounc Planning our 10 day stay at CSR for May 07!! I just love planning!! :dance3: Almost as much as I do the vacation itself!! Almost! :teeth:
DH :mickeyjum,DS :donald:,Me :tink:

[Pdowning98]

I am so excited, we went for the first time in May 2006 -- and when we got back we immediatley started planning for Feb. 2007 staying at POP again! YIPEE! :cool1:

[3boyzmom]

We had a great time on our last trip (Jan of this year) ... and I have now started planning for our next trip in early Feb. I can't wait, we'll stay 10 nights at the BC.

[thptrek]

March 10 - 16th in the CR for us. It is Spring Break here in Texas.

[The Sweetness]

How the heck do we maintain our sanity for these long waits??? I have purchased many cute vaca clothes for my dd who will be 2. Ive also reminded him that our entire tax refund (we'll get it the second week of feb, usually) is for our vaca. After all, I havent been in 7 years! I want to start collecting pressed coins. I want to do photo pass. And as terrible as I am at keeping secrets, I can tell you something I cant tell my husb and kids. I am going to order us one of those gorgeous gift baskets :cloud9: If I get any more excited, I am afraid I'll forget to breathe and faint! :woohoo: :grouphug:

[GaMsStella2]

Going on my Birthday trip can't wait just DH and I :cheer2:

[pooksma]

July 16-26 are the dates we're looking at. I hate all this waiting!!!! it makes my OCDis worse!

[The Sweetness]

All kidding aside... I wonder if I could be OCD~ only WDW specific? :confused3 :listen:

[Harvest02]

We just got back June 15th, and I am planning our next trip to Disney October 23-28th. Not sure where we are going to stay yet. Either ASMo or a moderate resort! :sunny:

[Luvamouse]

For the BC Nov. 19-23, 2007! I am so excited! We are going to stay at WL from the 24th till the 28th--couldn't make those when I made the BC reservation. We had planned to do WL the whole time, then DH watched Samantha Brown do the Disney hotels and loved BC. He thinks WL is too much like the Northern Maine camp we just came from last week. Funny thing is, we are only a few miles from the beach here in RI, and about an hour from Cape Cod!

Really excited to finally have an actual reservation--I haven't been since '89 and my Dh and 2 DD's have never been. Love being able to "see" who else is going then. :thumbsup2

Heidi

[tink4ever]

We have 169 days to go!! 3 nights at Grand Floridian and 6 nights at BCV. Can't Wait. I actually keep watching the planning video and my family thinks I am nuts. I will turn 40 during our vaca in Jan. but what better place to be than the World for your birthday. I hope I can handle the wait!!!! :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

[The Sweetness]

My DH will be turning 43 2 weeks before our trip, but he is still getting a nifty *b-day boy* button :thumbsup2 :lmao:

[Castillo Mom]

Woohoo, I'm so glad I found this thread! Finally a group with tickers similar to mine. :teeth: Actually I was looking for a place to make a silly post about some great news I got today.

First some background: Our next trip (as you can see by my ticker) will be Aug. '07. I finally decided on which resort to stay at a couple months ago and made reservations for the Poly. I've been a little apprehensive but now feel pretty good about my decision. Anyway, we'll be in WDW for 10 full days to be followed by a 7 day cruise on the Disney Magic. Joining me and my 3 teenage sons on the cruise will be my mom, MIL, sister, her husband, SIL and her husband and my then 5 year old niece.

The reason for my excitement is that I found out today that my sister will be joining the boys and I on the WDW portion of the trip. Although she and her hubby are going on the cruise, I really wanted her to experience WDW but we weren't sure her hubby would agree to it since he'd have to stay behind due to not having enough vacation time. I'm sooo happy! We haven't vacationed together since I was a teenager. I'm ecstatic to be able to show her around WDW.

Someone mentioned watching the planning video over and over. Hmm, looks like I'll have to get mine out and watch it tonight! :happytv:

[Lindamary123]

We are starting to finalize our plans for our next trip. We were going to skip 2007 (due to using most of our points this year) but we now are thinking about a trip for 5 nights, Jan. 10-15. We may need to get a 2BR and I have to figure out how many points I need. I will probably end up having to rent some.
That is okay, I am happy to go again!! :sunny:

[ktink]

DH and I will be there Feb 2-7, 2007! We'll be staying at All Star Music. :cool1:

[eblack0409]

DH and I will be at Disney for 3 nights in February chaparoning students....it's our FREE trip!!!!

We will definately be there in September 2007 (it's our favorite time to go!)

We are debating on a cruise or another Disney trip in May 2007....

Nothing is really finalized....we aren't sure where we are staying in February (other than it will be a value).....we will certainly do a split stay in September staying one night at All Star Sports and the other 6 nights at Pop Century!

[britt54311]

DH, DS, DD and I will be there Feb. 9-15. We'll be staying at POP. :cool1: :banana: :cheer2:

[JerseyGirl1972]

Going April 22-28, 2007. It will be 5 years to the day since we were there last. Only this time we are going for an extra 3 days. Can't wait.

[mr_grey001]

Grand Floridian July 8-14, 2007

:banana: Sooooooooo excited!!!!!!!! :banana:

[Mischa]

DH & I spent a week at WDW (Ft. Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds) this past May celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary. It was DH's first trip to WDW and he is definitely hooked now!

We are planning on going back May '07. I've got a few dates in mind - just waiting to see if they will work out. And we're hoping to stay a bit longer than "just a week" this time. This time we're planning on staying at SSR (since we joined DVC in May and SSR is our home resort).

We'd like to go down to WDW this fall, but we've just got too much going on. One year I'd like to be able to "kidnap" dh and take him down to WDW in January for his birthday.

[sullymoscow]

We are planning end of April 2007. Does anyone know if spring break is over by then for most places? I was hoping it wouldn't be to crowed. I am sooooo excited, probably more than my six year old, but stll have sooooo long to wait !!!:rotfl2:

[The Sweetness]

Here in Miami, spring break is scheduled for the first week in April HTH

[thatduffgirl]

I thought I was the only one waving the green flag hearing about everybody taking their trips! :bounce:

So, we were there the 2nd week of December in 05, we are aiming for October of 2007.

Now my best friend wants to plan a trip with us, but she just had a baby and wants us to wait till she is 2 (in the summer of 08) to go.

I don't think I can hold off that long~!

[The Sweetness]

Id love to do the first week in OCT or DEc as well. But first, lets get through the holidays, then I'll butter up DH for a weekend trip for later next year, after our first big one (9 days) in May/June :thumbsup2 :wizard:

[toocooltobeMom]

I am so glad most of you have plans for 2007 WDW vacations. We will be there 1st week of August next year. Anyone else has similar dates?

[KelsiesMommy]

We're hoping to book our FIRST WDW trip Sept-Oct 2007! Narrowing down dates and which resort(s) to stay at! So excited!

[ncseric]

We've got a trip booked for January 1-5 at VWL, but we're also talking about a parents-only/anniversary trip for December 26-29, too. It's our 10th anniversary, and given that we spent our honeymoon at GF, it seemed fitting to do it again for #10. We're looking at staying at BCV, I think... going to do a point swap with a friend of my wife's.

Yes, most breaks are over by then and it is before school lets out for a lot of kids too! It is a great time to go....oh , yeah, keep that quite will ya? :)

[supersuperwendy]

We will be at the Beach Club Villas from May 13-18th 2007!!!!! We can't wait!!!!!!! :cheer2:

[dznyacct]

Today I called DVC and booked a studio at Beach Club Villas (gotta love Storm-A-Long Bay :thumbsup2 ) for our March Spring Break trip. I know that I am totally spoiled because we leave in 25 days for free dining :teeth: and we are already planning our WDW "reunion" trip with DH's brothers and their families :grouphug: for next June. I LOVE having 3 WDW trips in the works :banana: !! Life is good :wizard: .

[lovemyguys]

We are all booked for April 28-May 4th 2007!!!! Staying at the CBR. We are doing a grand gathering. I can NOT wait!!! Anyone else with similar dates/resort?? Stayed at WLC level in October/November 2005. Any questions feel free to ask.

Yep! We'll be at POP 4/27-5/5 :cheer2: Nine months is WAY too long :hourglass I just read somewhere that those two weekends are grad nights :sad2: So I am passing my days reading everything grad night related on DIS to plan ahead and make the most out of it :stir: So far, it doesn't sound like it will be that much of an impact, I'll just adjust our schedules those evenings and maybe do MGM instead of MK......but I was looking forward to staying late in MK the first night....maybe grad night will be Saturday and not Friday? :confused3

[AnninIowa]

My dad and I are going January 31-February 7 and staying at AKL. We took our first trip last October and stayed at BC, so I'm nervous about it comparing to AKL...BUT the price was so much better. We plan on doing SeaWorld and Busch Gardens, plus taking TWO days for Epcot this time as we hardly saw any of it trying to do it in one day!

[ProudMomTo3Boys]

We are going the last week in April too, maybe we'll see you there, where are you planning on staying. We will be at Wilderness Lodge.

[MomWith2Cinderellas]

The way it is looking for us now is as follows...
1/28-2/03...We will be at the Swan...DH has conference and we are tagging along.... :Pinkbounc
2/05-2/10....We will be at Broadwalk Inn....This is my birthday trip/present... :banana: :banana: :banana:
I can not wait....I am little nervous about doing the parks with a 4 year old and 2 year old by myself, but I am sure it will be just fine! :)

I've been lurking for a while but had to chime in for this. I'm trying to work around grad nights too !! It is kind of a downer. I am thankful we will be arriving early on 4/26 so we can spend that evening in MK if we're up to it. I haven't been in 20years and my dd10 has never been so I don't want to fall into the commando trap and crash early on. Do we go to sleep early and miss parade and fireworks to be able to make MK opening the next day ? Or do we stay til closing and just try to get an early start but not push making it to the rope drop? HELP !!
( Oh, and we're also going with my sis and neice9 who are not early risers ) :confused3

[3princesses+aprince]

We're going March 1-6 2007... We were supposed to go this past March but didnt' get to, so this trip can't come soon enough!!! I get to make ADR's this week, i'm soooo excited. It feels like it's almost here now :sunny:

[Ann Hess]

This is my first post ever on this site. I have to say that I am exstatic to have found all of you :cool1: My name is Ann and I am a S-A-H-M from PA. I have 2 boys (ages 4 and 2) and another on the way.

My DH and I have recently set up a vacation for our family to go to WDW May 14-17, '07 and we are staying at CS. We have decided to leave the baby with family and just take the older boys.

Can anyone tell me if this is a good time of year to go to WDW and if CS is a good choice? We have only ever gone to WDW once before and that was just Oct '05! I can't believe what we have been missing out on all of these years!

Thanks for reading. Ann

[jenr812]

Welcome to the DIS Ann! You'll soon become addicted, I'm sure ;) I've only ever stayed at POR (July 05) and I camped at FW in 1991, so I have no advice on CS. I've heard May is a wonderful time of year to go - the weather is manageable as well as the crowds. I am also looking forward to the Flower and Garden Show. Happy planning :)

Hi! :wave: Welcome to the DIS!

CSR (Coronado Springs) is very nice- we stayed there in 2002. The Dig Site pool and playground is awesome!! The resort itself is beautiful. The only drawback I noticed was the size of the resort- it is HUGE!! The buildings are situated around a lake- I think it is about 1 mile all the way around. Nice for strolling on a lazy day, but not so great when you've been walking around the parks all day and your feet are tired. Since we visited, though, they have added a resort shuttle system to help folks get around.

May should be a pretty good time- school won't be out yet, and Spring breaks will be over, so the crowds won't be bad. The weather hasn't gotten really hot and humid yet, either.

You will have a blast!

[Ann Hess]

Thank you for the reply :goodvibes I look forward to going back and pray that we have good weather. Take care, Ann

[GorshGoofy]

We'll be going ( :surfweb: me-50 and :bride: DW-45) for our honeymoon on January 21-25, 07. We're staying at the Pop. Can't wait to show her 'the world'! She hasn't been to WDW since she was a child.

Great...I hope that we have amazing weather :goodvibes
Have you ever been at WDW in May before?

[maxiesmom]

I actually just e-mailed my TA to make me a ressie! October 14-19 at POR. That resort is so beautiful.

[CrAzyEm]

im going in mid april nad my mom is letting me take two of my friends!!!

[mrludwig]

We are going in July of 2007. We have reservations at BC. I am not looking forward to going when it is super hot but I can't take the oldest DD out of school next fall and the money wasn't in the budget to go this fall. This means we have to when school is not in session (June, July, or first 3 weeks in August).Our youngest DD's birthday is in July so we decided it would so cool for her to spend her birthday at WDW. So I booked July. We have 304 days until we are there.

[Along4theRide]

None of my family (me, DH, DD, DS & my mom) have ever been to WDW and couldn't hold out any longer. We have a trip planned and will be staying at WL from 5/31 to 6/7, then we're going to a hotel on the gulf side of FL somewhere on the beach (nothing picked yet). My mom and I have never seen the ocean and my DH has only seen it once about 18 years ago, so we'll spend a couple days at the beach! I'm already excited. I don't know how I'm gonna hold out for the next 8 1/2 months!!

[Harvest02]

I actually just e-mailed my TA to make me a ressie! October 14-19 at POR. That resort is so beautiful.

We will be there the week after you!!! Have you stayed at POR before? My DH doesn't feel the Disney magic :sad2: like my kids and I do, so we may go on our own next time. We are thinking of taking an extended fall break vacation the 23-28th of October. We stayed at ASMo last time, but I really want to try a moderate. ASMo was just fine, and that is where my DS6 would love to stay again, but I think a moderate would be so much fun with the entertainment and beautiful grounds!

[Clotho]

Hello all!

I am happy happy happy to see this thread! My wait is horrifically long, as we are planning a trip for September 2007. We went for our first time in 2004, and I hav been dying to get back, and now I WILL BE! WAHOO!

Our last trip we planned in about 3 months time. Having a whole year to save and plan is good and bad. Good because we can really save up the money, and we can really take our time planning out our trip details. Bad because I tend to obsess (like many of us here) over my Disney planning, and it will be a long year of dreaming and aching to go!

[prgirl]

I was going first in December and I already began to buy clothes (I live in Puerto Rico) and planning everything but my dear told me last week " no can do" because it's better to wait a little bit more and save some more money. So I was very dissapointed but then told me that we would be going for Valentine's Day :love: . So I'm planning again where we'll be staying; for what we were going to pay in December for a 2 star we can stay in Feb. in a 3 star or a resort, so I guess it's better in terms of money, but anyway I was dissapointed not to spend New Years Eve with Mickey. I have my hopes back again :woohoo:

[casinocolin]

we will be at ASM in september 2007

Have a nice day and remember the magic.

[doug65]

First trip was June '04 (heat, frustration, dehydration, crowds..LOVE IT!), stayed at the VWL. Unable to pull off ANYTHING I planned except actual presence in the parks. :sad2: Oh, and my wife thought I was losing my mind in the lead up because I spent all of my time on the DIS.

THIS time, June 22 - 29th (C'mon, SWEAT! You know you love it!). BIL is in the US Air Force and we are all staying at SoG. Our kids, DD-7 and DS-4, will be perfect ages for such proximity to MK. OK, and so will I.

Yesterday, my wife and I spent the majority of the day talking about the trip. Turns out, not only do I have Disney OCD, I'm also a carrier. :thumbsup2

[The Sweetness]

I have that condition too. Counting the days until I can make my ADRs (its def a contagious condition) :crazy:

[karla63]

Booked at POP for June 1-10 for a bunch of High School Girl Scouts. Can't wait to make our ADR's and book air and then just sit back and wait for school to be out!!! :banana: :love:

[Aubie881]

Going April 28 - May 6, 2007. :woohoo: Going to stay on site at one of the value resorts. This will be our first time on site. Were are considering staying at POP. Should we consider staying at any of the other values. We have two teenage girls with us ages 15 and 17. Thanks.

With girls that age, I think you should upgrade to at least a moderate. There is more to do if you start to get on each others nerves. Is shopping a big thing for them? Both Port Orleans resorts have a boat that will take you from the resort straight to Downtown Disney. And if they like to swim the pools are much nicer. I would give the edge to POR at this, the pool at POFQ is geared more towards smaller children.

[Shifletjl]

We will be at POR June 2007. This will be our first time staying onsite. It will also likely be our last family vacation together as our oldest daughter is in college and beginning to do "her own thing". It is becoming harder and harder to plan time together. We are looking forward to our much needed time together as a family and making memories to last a life time!

Magical Vacations to Everyone! :wave:
