i didnt realise that was even there!
someone remind me a few days before 3rd may and i'll go take a photo. i'm going into london that day

 

[jenny105]

Pose with it, like you're pushing it into the wall and have someone else take the picture!

 

[karentan]

lol, i dont want to look like an idiot!

 

[jenny105]

Oh, c'mon, do it for me! I'd do it for you! lol

Speaking of Harry Potter, are any of you planning to visit IOA when your in FL? It's awesome!

 

[karentan]

i'll think about it!
we're only in florida for 3 days so anything other than WDW will have to be sacrificed this time

 

[jenny105]

So what's been going on you guys? Did everyone have a good Easter? Mine was busy!

I'm counting down the days until the 2012 rates are released. I can't wait to book my trip for next year! I've already decided on dates. Here's hoping that the free dining for 2012 works out with the dates I want. The dates for 2011 seem to have been cut short but I guess that's due to the fact that Disney offered it all year at the end of 2010. Hoping they do the same thing for 2012!

 

[jenny105]

Helllooooooooo???

 

[disney honeymooners]

Im here just been busy with the house

 

[karentan]

still here too! someone say something!

 

[jenny105]

Are you guys getting excited for your cruise?? I'm so jealous your tickers say 3 months and mine says over a year! Ah well, it'll go by quick. I wish I was going with you all!

I'm currently impatiently awaiting August so I can book my 2012 Disney vacation.

I'll pose a question to you all. I want to stay at a moderate. I'm sick of the values (I've stayed at Pop one too many and I saw the new rooms at AoA. Don't appeal to me) and can't afford deluxe. I ruled out Carib Beach already so my question to you is: Coronado, POFQ, or POR? I was leaning toward Coronado since that's about the closest to Deluxe you can get but now I think I'm going to book POFQ. The pool doesn't do anything for me but other than that it's pretty, it's small, the rooms were just re-done, only one bus stop, plus I can take the boat to DTD and walk over to POR and use their pool. Where would you guys stay??

 

[karentan]

i've only stayed at POR, we loved it and would stay there again

have you thought about renting DVC points?

 

[jenny105]

Ya but it seems...complicated. Plus, you have to rely on the person that makes your reservation for everything. I like doing everything myself. And don't you have to work out a payment schedule with the renter? I like paying it off little by little. Don't know if it would be a good idea for me.

 

[karentan]

no probs - just an idea!
what are you leaning towards then?

 

[jenny105]

Well, first it was Coronado. I think the rooms are gorgeous and the pool looks amazing. But now I'm thinking POFQ. I like that there is only one bus stop, it's a fairly small resort, and there's a water taxi to DTD. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the pool but I could always use the pool at POR. Which one would you pick?

 

[karentan]

i've heard coronado is a bit big, might be easier to stick to POFQ. also its really nice to be able to get the boat to DTD

 

[jenny105]

That's what I'm thinkin!

 

[karentan]

i'd say go for POFQ and use POR pool then

 

[jenny105]

That is exactly what I'm going to do
