Today is the day. Yay yay yay we have so much stuff traveling with an infant. So excited!!! Yacht Club here we come!!!

 

[natebenma]

Teena - sounds like you're going to be having a fabulous new few months!

Can't wait to hear about your Hawaiian adventure (Dee - dying for the details of your new adventure too).

We are thinking of doing Hawaii in 2015 or 2016. I just have to learn to book those high air fares without having a stroke! DH is dying to go.

Teena - between your friends and your princesses coming the holidays should be super magical for you!

I haven't had any time lately to start researching and planning our trip, but I'll definitely share our plans as they develop! Hope I will have some useful Hawaii info for you.

Argh. I'm having a disagreement with the Disney website. Please can anyone tell me recent pricing on the Illuminations Cruise? I'm sure Disney don't want people to book these things as they hide the info on the website!

BUMPING!!!

Today is the day. Yay yay yay we have so much stuff traveling with an infant. So excited!!! Yacht Club here we come!!!

Have a fantastic, magical trip!

As I mentioned a few days ago, my family visited US/IoA in 2011 (first visit, Portofino) and 2013 (Hard Rock). Lots of info in my trip reports- Welcome Foolish Muggles and Hijinks and Shenanigans (more complete report on the US trip report board). The reports have chapter links if you want to check them out.

Hi! So, DH's birthday is on a Sat in January. He has been having a very stressful year at work & was wishing for a DW birthday. Well, you know we have those APs til May...... What's a good wife to do???


Use some PTO days to get the weekend off, SW flights aren't too bad--can leave early Fri AM & return Sun evening, there's 35% off discount, we have the Tables in Wonderland & good ADRs are available sooo....


Please add us to the Be Our Guest list at YC Jan 10-12!!!! Happy Birthday DH!!


And since we're already planning our May trip & booked a mod in order to do our adrs @ 180+10, we hope to book a bounceback to cover that trip while we're there!

back!!!

I'll add you to the list.

Great plan to celebrate your DH's BD!!!

Please add me to the Yacht Club roster: August 24-31

Yes, I got that magical deal too, so I guess you can say I drank the Kool-Aid...er....Ovaltine....

My DD and her family will be joining us too and possibly my oldest DS and his wife!

Will do!!!

Sounds like a great family trip.

natebenma - please add me to the Be Our Guest list for the dates of Aug 16 - 24th!!! We are staying at the Yacht Club. We stayed here last year and my son loved the pool!! He is sooo excited. I am crossing my fingers I get the same room area I did last year. We were able to see the fireworks from our balcony - loved it!!

back!

I'll add you to the list

My hubby and I stayed at BCV for the first time in July for our anniversary and thought we weren't going to be able to go back to Disney until after I graduate nursing school in May 2015. Thanks to that incredible deal, we will be at Beach Club Aug 24-30! I'm so excited for the kids to play in Stormalong Bay and to see the movie on the beach and all the fun stuff on the Boardwalk! I'm super nervous about all the FP+ and MB stuff but my best friend and her family are leaving in two weeks so hopefully she will have a great time and put my mind at ease

back!

So glad you were able to book a return trip!

I'll add you to the list!

 

[natebenma]

Please add me to the Be Our Guest list I will be staying at Beach Club 8/17-8/23 2014. This will be my first time staying at the Beach Club and I can't wait!

I'll add you to the list.



Please let us know if you have any questions.

I am so excited to say please add us to the Be Our Guest List

Dh and I will be there Dec 3 -8th.

Only problem is we have to change rooms. The lst 2 days are water view which we booked with a bounceback rate in May and those were the only days that were not blocked out.

Then the 5-8th we are going to a garden view. Its free with dh ff miles. A dream come true!

Teena - do you know your schedule for Dec? We are checking out on the 8th and going to the Boardwalk so I am sure we will see you sometime when we are there. (me - crazy Justin Bieber sighting in the Beach Club lobby diser with the wheelchair.)

Oh and just the other night at 1 am I was able to snag a Be Our Guest dinner for dh and I. Its going to be a magical time!

back!

Beach Club?

Nice last minute trip!

Dee-

Thanks for your help because I was able to book a short weekend getaway for DH and I
8/29-9/1 SV

Can not believe how good the rate is! If I was not coaching I would have booked an entire week

back!!!

So glad you were able to book a late summer visit.

Hi! Please add us to the guest list. We'll be at BCV February 4-8. First time we are staying there, really looking forward to it.

Getting ready to head to EPCOT from OKW.

I just switched back to the Poly this morning. I'm sorry about your fingers

 

[Mousemommy1]

Dee I've got nothing to add (today, anyway) , but man you are working hard this morning!

 

[luvsvacations]

Can I ask why you switched?? I was going to book the Poly then heard the pool was probably going to be closed (I did book the BC). Was wondering if you were looking at it from a different perspective than myself. Thanks

1. The Poly is my dream resort and I never thought we would be able to afford to stay there.
2. The Poly rooms are bigger and there are 5 of us.
3. They will either provide a shuttle to the GF pool or we can walk over since it's not far.
4. The QS selection in the Epcot resort area is terrible and we won't have park hoppers to eat in Epcot whenever we want this time.
5. The monorail is pretty convenient when you have a stroller (as long as it's running lol!)

Also, I really want to be able to say at some point that I've stayed at all the resorts. It's all part of my master plan *insert evil laugh here*

 

[luvsvacations]

Thanks for your thoughts. The construction would not bother me - but the pool - and a shuttle ?? But, I have always wanted to stay here.....decisions, decisions. Also wanted to add - if they are shuttling people from the Poly to the GF wont that pool be crowded ?? I thought the quiet pool would be fine but I would think that would really be busy...

I'm not that worried about the pool situation. The GF pool is pretty big and some people from the Poly will just use the quiet pool there because they won't want to bother with the shuttle. Plus, I know my little guy will be thrilled with the splash area at the GF so that doesn't hurt things either lol

 

[scottmel]

I just booked my split stay!!! GFV 1 bedroom and YC split stay! Though I am worried I will feel like I am slumming it after leaving a one bedroom at GFV to go to YC and you all know I love YC!!!!!!!! We are going mid June after being at US IOA for 3 days. Super excited to try GFV....but SAB wooed us back for second end of trip!

Looking at Disney next spring. Have they announced when the Miners Train will be opening?

Hi all!! Staying at BC garden view room from 8/20-8/29 2014... So excited to be staying for 10 days!! Never stated at the world for that long and never stayed at a Epcot resort!! My family of 5 is really looking foward to it!! We can't wait !!

 

[Stuarotra]

I was reading the FAQ about the quiet pools and hot tubs. I noticed it said the quiet pools were open 24/7, are the hot tubs available 24/7 also?
