Hi everybody. Came over from the *other* Official November 2013 thread. We're planning a trip from Nov 16-22, hoping to stay at BWV/BLT if I can get in at the 7 month mark with my VGC points, AKV if I can't get into those.

We're not really celebrating anything this time ... just finished a really big long trip where we celebrated a bunch of birthdays in December 2012, and while we were there we upgraded to the special DVC Premium Annual Passes, so we decided to use them again rather than having to buy tickets at DLR this year ...

Hoping to hit that sweet spot of low crowds post F&W but pre-Thanksgiving. Also not sure yet where we'll be flying from as I just got a call this morning from a company I interviewed with a few weeks ago about my references, and the job is in another state ... (I've been trying to find something there for a year, so super excited!)

Does anybody have a link to the FB group? Not sure what to search for on there ...

Yes, three for the auto train and we absolutely loved it in 2011. Just sit back and watch the scenery go by...no wear and tear on your car and no flying 10000 feet above the ground This time we are getting a family bedroom...in 2011 we got the deluxe sleeper and it's really tight for two adults and a child.

There is no link, it's a private group. Just send pm

Welcome taaren!!! Didn't know there was another official group. Good luck with the job! I sent figment a private message with my FB name and she sent me a friend request and then added me to the group. It is a secret group, so I don't think you can find it without the invite.

I think we'll be overlapping in our trips a bit. Good luck with the potential new job!

We like the family bedroom a lot -- lots of room (considering it's a train), although the kids bunks are 1/2 bunks, so DD7 will just have to curl up her legs a bit! But it's still more room than our SUV!

Thanks! I was wondering that too! Will send you a PM now.

We are officially booked at AoA (Nemo Suites) for 11/7 to 11/13.

[figmentswife]

Our Facebook page is growing fast.

[FigmentChick]

Welcome, newcomers!!!! The first post is updated and as figmentswife said, our FB group is growing fast as well. So glad the new year is here andit seems that much closer to our trips!!!

Lisa, so sorry about you returning to your job like that. But I'm glad you can experience some magic before you go back.

[dreamcatcherkwe]

Yay, it's 2013! We're going in November. Not sure about the exact dates yet. We want to wait to know exactly when the Christmas party is started so we can be there for that.

[AndiSlamberg]

I can't even wait, until November for my Disney wedding! It seems like so far away. Also super excited to be staying at The Boardwalk for the first time! eeee

Thanks! Firm offer came in yesterday, and I start in 2 weeks! So now we'll be flying out of Sacramento or Oakland. Plenty of time to rack up vacation pay ...
DH is going to put off joining me in California and job hunting for a few months, so not sure if he'll be able to go, but I have more than enough Southwest points for me and the DS6, so we're set with our DVC points, our Southwest points, and PAP's, the only thing we'll be buying is the car rental and food.

Other DVC-ers are telling me that in past years that week has been great for getting in at the Epcot resorts, so I'm stoked. The other week I was considering, after Turkey day is already completely booked at BLT according to reports coming in ...
