2013? Am I crazy?

[Ted in Halifax]

Anyone else starting to look at ideas for March 2013?

I'm thinking cruise or Disney's Art of Animation. What are you thinking?

We're planning a Nov 2013 trip with up to 70 or so people. No idea if that many will actually go, but it's fun planning

We'll likely be staying all over the place, but it will be our first stay at our DVC home resort (AKV) so we're pretty excited. The tentative plan is a 9-10-day World stay then a 3-4 day DCL cruise ... just waiting on those pesky 2013 DCL itineraries to come out

One year ago today we arrived at OKW. It was DW's first taste of Disney. It won't be the last. We're looking at going back January 2013--which is much too far away.

We have been watching March Break 2012 airfares from Toronto rise from $2800 to $4K+ (for our ideal flights) since Labour Day. Since our dates are not flexible, we finally booked Air Tran direct flights out of Rochester ($1880 for 4).

We'll be watching for March 2013 flight schedules earlier to see if we will be going again during school break.

I've been planning 2013 for months hahahah

 

[drag n' fly]

Yes indeedy. It will either be a Disney Cruise on one of the new boats or Aulani

Well you're definitely not crazy. For *US* 2013 is out "off" year ( we go every two years ) so I'm not. BUT I can tell you I started looking as soon as we got back in 2010 for our 2012 trip.

I am only home hours before I start looking for the next trip. If you are crazy you have a lot of company. I am right there.

Let's see, you're posting here asking *us* if you're crazy. Sounds crazy to me!

For 2013 I'm thinking of taking my wife to Europe, to make up for the last four WDW trips, only one of which was actually "planned".

It seems I'm the expert at picking the opportune moment. One of the daughters starts talking about how we all had such a good time at Disney. I raise an eyebrow and say, "Well I do have (insert free dining/pin code/discount) we could use. Before you know it we're booked... again. Same old story.

Anyway, Europe, we're going to Europe...

Enjoy your planning, Ted!

Grand California Villas......February 2013

 

[jeepwreck]

i think it is never too early to start planing the next trip..

Sigh. We went to Disney 3 times in about a year. August 2010, February 2011 (last minute totally unexpected trip) and August 2011.

We came home from this last one convinced that it was time to try something else. So we'll be spending 2 weeks in the Rockies for August 2012.

So to answer your question.. yes, I am already starting to think about 2013. Probably February.

We need a break from Disney.. but I know we'll be eager to return by the time 2013 rolls around. AoA might be a good choice.. or renting points again. We loved OKW. Decisions Decisions.

Count me in as crazy too ... we're heading to WDW for NYE this year but at the moment I'm more anxious for the 2013 DCL dates to be announced!

I need to move our dummy date to either March Break 2013 or Summer 2013 (hoping DCL is back in New York City and headed somewhere hot). Once that is all settled, I can then figure out our next DVC trip which will probably be whatever option isn't chosen for the cruise! (DVC-wise I''m not sure if it will be back to WDW, or maybe Aulani, or maybe even Hilton Head.)

 

[mkmommy]

I will join the club. Hopeful that DCL will release 2013 soon want to do Spring break on the Fantasy in 2013.


RCCL Allure might be the fallback if DCL is too high.

Same here

We plan on leaving on March 5th until ??? It's our first trip, and I haven't really decided exactly how long we'll be staying yet. I just wish it wasn't so long from now.

 

[2gr8DisneyKids]

We are in too!

Hoping to book a DCL cruise as soon as the dates are released! And likely AOA or VB if we can swing it and it fits with DH's work schedule

 

[Tigger i luv DISNEY]

Already planning May 2013... with my budget I have to save 158 dollars a month from now til then! It is more doable like that... since I am a University Student.

I went to Disney (paid my own way) for my DREAM trip after I graduated High school (July 2009)... so May 2013 I will have graduated - hopefully - University and I will be off to visit the mouse once again for my victory!

So if your crazy I am as well!

We are booked, so excited to go to San Juan

You should check out the price for 7a obstructed balcony rooms. I moved an on board booking with 10% discount and it is less per person than your cat 9 room, but even without the discount there is not that big difference.



I am surprised at the rates, it is only $400 more than my 2012 Mexican Riveria cruise on the Wonder. It is also less then the RCCL Allure that was my backup plan if the Fantasy was too high.
