We'll be at WL from Thurs, Feb 2 - Fri, Feb 10.
We WERE booked for Jan 27-Feb 3, but the Superbowl was messing with our return flight - on a sale, I was getting $65 to MCO, $289 back home. No thanks.
So, we changed our week, added an extra day at WDW, and we're saving a few hundred bucks!
I was able to book airfare for $65 each way per person(Southwest had a price war with Airtran, which is also owned by them, so it was weird), so our flights ended up being only $454 for all 3 of us, roundtrip!AND we booked Southwest, so we can check bags for free! (yay for bringing canned craft beer and smartwaters to put in our fridge!)
ADRs & park plans:
Thurs 2/2- arriving late(we're actually working that day, and picking DD up from school at normal time to grab our flight out), we'll grab a CS to split at Roaring Forks.
Fri 2/3- 1900 Park Fare dinner (MK day, maybe EC for EMH)
Sat 2/4- Le Cellier lunch (EC day)
Sun 2/5- Sci Fi dinner (HS day, may go to MK for EMH after HS closes)
Mon 2/6- Hoop De Doo (? park for day, HS after dinner for EMH)
Tues 2/7- Whispering Canyon dinner (AK day, relax and have dinner at our own resort after the early closing)
Wed 2/8 - 'Ohana dinner (? park - whatever we feel like re-visiting)
Thurs 2/9 - Les Chefs De France dinner with Remy (? park, whatever we feel like revisiting)
Fri 2/10 - use up the remaining CS and snacks. Flight isn't until night time.
We plan on hitting DTD for a couple hours one of the days. We never got to it, and missed about half the stuff at AK on our trip in 2010.
This trip will be a complete surprise for DD. We had been planning Jan 2012 since our trip in Jan 2010. I was planning on running the half, but prices were SO high, and no free dining or good deals at that time, so we told DD we couldn't go. All along, DH and I knew we were just going to be changing our dates. So, now when someone slips up and says something about our trip, DD just pipes up and says in her most annoyed voice "We aren't going. it's too busy, and Mommy's going to miss the marathon weekend."
I'm SO excited to surprise her. We aren't going to tell her until we're at the airport (if DH will already be in FL for a business trip) or when we pick her up from school if he's home and flying down with us! Her teacher was in tears when we told her. She's sad she'll be on maternity leave so she won't see the reaction.
DH is kinda afraid we'll get a not-so-awesome reaction from DD (who will be 8 at the time, 2nd grade). He keeps watching WDW Surprise trip backfires on YouTube and telling me about them. I think she'll be ecstactic! I'm afraid of how her classmates will react since we're taking her out of school for 6 days. Their parents are gonna think we're horrible parents! (we live in a really gossippy school district. It's bad enough that I'm one of only a handful of moms in her class who works!)
AH!!! 99 days!!!! YAY - SO excited!!!!
We live in Bloomington and are flying out the 2nd as well! (Staying till the 8th) We'd probably be on your flight, but we're dropping off our dog at my parent's in Columbus, OH so we'll be flying out of there with a layover in Atlanta.
We're actually relieved we'll be there during the Super Bowl! (Low crowds and DH's team - the Dolphins - haven't made it there in awhile anyway.
)Nice to see someone on here from the area!
