Hi all! We have booked at AKl Kidani for 11/9-11/16. However we are thinking about switching to either Beach Club or Boardwalk once we can book there, if available. We have stayed at AKL twice and while we love it - we are looking to stay a little closer to Epcot this time around.

Happy planning!

This year, they know all about our trip, but there is a twist..... We are leaving on Thursday for Disney, but we are going to tell them that we are not leaving till Saturday. So Thursday will come, they will think they are getting ready for school, and PSYCH - We are going to Disney instead!!! Best of both worlds

That is pretty much what we are doing. We are telling them we are going in Jan but are going to surprise them the day of. We just love countdown parties too much lol

Hi, everyone!!!! I am so sorry I have gone missing and I plan to spend time later this week gathering all the info and putting travel info on the first post.

So....reason why I've been MIA: I lost my job on November 27th and I just haven't felt like being on here. Too depressed and spending time interviewing and applying for jobs to be here.

I promise I will be more vigilant, especially since we are now that much closer to our vacation times.

I promise I'll catch everyone else up later.....

So sorry about your job Figment. I hope you can find something soon and get back to planning.

I too already have our ADRs planned. Not days or times, but where we want to eat.

[MamaJessie]

That stinks FIgment. Hope you find something quickly.

I am making a small list of must do restaurants (even if we don't ddp and go OOP) and then a larger list in case we do get the ddp.

I still can't decide on a resort.

Hello! I'm Kris ^_^

I'll be in this thread and the October thread cause of our dates lol

We are taking a family trip from Oct. 30 - Nov. 6th
My sister's Birthday is November 7th, so we'll also be celebrating her birthday at WDW

Family of five = Me (26), DH (27), Mother, Father & Sister (16, turning 17)

We'll be staying in POFQ (2 rooms)! Can't wait!

Hi
We (my mom and me) will also be in WDW from the 28th october until the 10 or somewhat november. We haven't decided on the exact dates, because we are waiting on airfaire offers.
We want to try the AoA or maybe if free dining comes along, we may change to a moderate. We'll try to book in January, as sson as we have decided on the dates.

I'm very excited about Haloween and MNSSHP, because here in Europe we don't celebrate it the way americans do. Actually that will be my first trick ot treating and i'm 30 years old. Hopefully it won't be awkward
I'm also looking forward to catch the Food and Wine Festival, because Epcot is our favorite park, so that will be so much fun.

We are already plannaning our ADR's, and I'm quite happy that my mom is also excited about it, and is planning with me. Last time she just let me do all of the planing, that was fine, because I could chose where to eat but still it is also grat to share the excitment.

I'm glad that the boards exist, and gives us such a nice place to plan and dream away.

Hi!

We are making our Auto Train ressies tomorrow and will stay DVC but not sure where yet. We are trying AoA resort in just 17 days and if we love that, we may do a split stay, so waiting a bit to decide.

Our dates will be arrive WDW Nov 29 - Dec 7.

Very excited to see the Christmas decorations again. Last we saw them was in 2009.

You can add us to this thread as we're officially booked!!

11/26-12/2 at OKW

Excited to be at WDW for Thanksgiving in 2013.

[taaren]

Ooh, add me too! We will be either Nov 17-22 or Nov 30-Dec 6 (Haven't decided if we're going to do it before or after Thanksgiving with the in-laws ...).

We're DVC so we'll be staying on points, wherever is available at 7 months, hoping for Bay Lake Tower, but more likely Animal Kingdom Villas, or if we're lucky and DH gets his wish: Boardwalk or Beach Club. Just hoping for something other than OKW or SSR.

In theory we weren't supposed to be going back to WDW for several more years, but with the DVC Premium Annual Pass offer it was only $20 to upgrade our three MYW hoppers on this last trip, so they're good through Dec 5, 2013 and in comparing the price of going to Disneyland and buying new tickets/APs vs flying to WDW (partly on leftover SW points) and using our PAPs, DisneyWorld was the winner!
