Still working on getting my entire June 2011 Trip Report up here, still looking forward to planning our November 2012 Cruise and Park Trip, and now I have decided I must celebrate my birthday in Walt Disney World this year too!
I'm still in the planning stages of this trip, working on the final dates and don't know where we'll be staying quite yet, so feel free to tune in while I get the details all setup.
One thing I can tell you is that we are doing this without the kids or family, it will be just my DH and myself and our big plan is to do a special park tour for every park. So right now the tours I have in mind are:
Disney's Keys to the Kingdom Tour at Magic Kingdom
Around the World at EPCOT Segway Tour
Backstage Safari Tour at Animal Kingdom
Learn to Surf at Typhoon Lagoon
Since we are shelling out some bucks on the tour experiences, we're going to try to go cheap on the room. We plan to have our own transportation, so we are contemplating a stay at one of the moderate resorts. We stayed at Port Orleans Riverside back in 1999 (when it was Dixie Landing) so we may try Port Orleans French Quarter this time. The price isn't too much higher than a value resort, and we have a better chance of a guaranteed King Bed room that way. Value resorts have not been ruled out.
Instead of using our DVC Points for this trip, we plan to pay cash so we are hoping to use my annual pass to get a good room discount. Nothing out yet for March so we shall see.
I considered booking the current package with Free Dining since we can make our dates work for that deal, but have decided we'll be better off with a room discount and my Tables in Wonderland card for food.
I'll update here as I continue to plan that trip as well as our plans for our November 2012 Family Cruise and park trip!
