If anybody is interested, I just started my PTR for our trip! I'd love to have some fellow April DISers join in.

I added it to the PTR post (#1517, linked on the first page).

Is there any place to see Lilo and Stitch besides Ohana?

They have a meet and greet outside of the main store at AK (sorry I can't think of the name of the store)...

For everyone wondering if April will have any discounts, I have a good clue. As this is my first visit to DW since 82, I ordered custom maps and a planning dvd. We got the personalized maps the other day and the planning dvd today. I watched the dvd and under the ticket section they have screenshots of the Disney website and at the bottom is a caption that reads "Savings for stays 1/1/13-2/13/13, 2/24/13-3/7/13, 4/7/13-5/30/13, and 8/4/13-12/12/13,"

Oh, that sounds promising! I'm hoping to see something show up for April after they finish whatever they are doing to the website from 12/3 to 12/5.

We seen them together in AK on the path that leads to the Lion King Show. (There is a fence to the left and they were right in front of it) Meeko meets there too. We also seen them in front of another fence very near Flame Tree BBQ but on the other side of the main path.

I started a PTR as well. The link is in my Signature. I have it listed as a May PTR, but that is only because we will only be there for 2 days of April. But I would LOVE to have some readers.

We booked POFR for March 30 - April 6th. Joining the thread!

 

[JillianSam]

Thanks for all the Lilo & Stitch info! We will be on the hunt in AK!

I've been reading here for awhile, decided to register!

We'll be going to Disney April 11 to 18. This will be our second Disney trip with children (3, 4 and 6)!

Anybody knows when the promos for April will be out? Can't wait to make it all official!

we pLan on going vacation week. we have not booked yet because we are waiting on a discount. Will here be any? Also flying out of providence RI during vacation week is insanely expensive. So right now are options or to drive or to drive to long island new york and fly from there for $2000 less then from RI.

I have signatures turned off so I can't see your info. But I searched and found it and added it.

I haven't updated it in a bit because it seemed like no one was reading, but now that I'm done with grad school I have more time to get back to it (and to planning!)

Public service announcement: After trying for more than a month, I finally was able to make a Pirates & Pals fireworks cruise reservation for April 26! Just wanted to let others know that those later-April dates have finally opened up.

My 4-year-old is going to be so excited!

April 20 - May 1.

We had just missed each other that year

Hi miprender! I remember you from previous April trips!!!!! We are going again too, 12-20th...totally agree the weather is PERFECT!!! come join the Facebook page too, I think the link is in the first page?

Hi... I remember you too. It's been a while since we have gone in April. The last 2 years we have gone in the summer and though I loved staying longer, DH was ready to try April again. And I missed the Flower & Garden Festival.

Where are you flying out of. I could not find any prices that were reasonable in all of New England so we are actually driving down to Long Island and flying out of there. It will save us $3500!

It is really worth it. We did this in 2010 and it was great.

 

[momtwoboys]

flying out of BDL, snagged great prices on each leg the day they were released!

(ETA -- Never mind. I had time today to look for it and found your PTR and updated the post with a link to it. All fixed!)
That link doesn't work. It takes you right to page 119 of this thread, the page you posted on. Try again!
