Addicted to Boards!

[schrodstrip]

We are traveling at the end of May and I haven't even made a decision on where to stay. I am scanning the boards every free minute and into the late hours to discover new information!!
My question is, how long can I wait before I book? Will deluxe resorts, my first choice, be booked?
Thanks!!

Hi - my name is Prince John. I am a board addict. Sorry I can't actually answer your questions.

I'm sure you can still get a place to stay! But I wouldn't wait too much longer. If you book a room only you can always switch things around if you want to. Good luck!

Board Addict and searching the posts at all hours, you'll get no sympathy here..

Seriously, if you are planning to go in May, I would at least get your room only ressie now. Then if codes come out you can revise that and get a better rate. Good luck!

schrodstrip,

Don't feel bad. I have been doing the same thing since I first starting looking at going back to WDW Febuary way back in December.

Hi, I am Dissy Love and I am a board addict.

Yes, i WOULD make your room reservations at least, and then keep looking for discounts to come out. You can always apply them later. ESPECIALLY if you are going on a holiday weekend like Memorial or something-if you have a certain place you want to stay, I would go ahead and hold your spot.

Good luck!

Hi, my name is John2u and I am a board addict also.

I also would make those reservations ASAP and you could always apply any discounts at a later date.

Thanks everyone. I will make a final decision and book by Friday! Glad to know I'm not the only one out there reading every tidbit to make a wonderful vacation!

Remember, you can always cancel your reservation up to five days before you check in. Thus, you should not worry about making a reservation now and having to revise it next week. The sooner you make it, the greater the chances of getting what you want. Same advice goes for Priority Seating for meals. In some cases, seating is given in order of the date the reservation was made (the Spirit of Aloha show is supposedly like this), so even if you think you might change later, book it now!

I too have spent the best part of 6 weeks scouring the internet looking for info, advice, photos etc. If I input dates and children's ages into Disney.com once more, I'll wear out the website. I now know I am waaaay over-analysing my holiday but having fun too, despite the exhaustion and stress levels Yesterday I met an old neighbour of mine who told me she's also going to WDW this year, woohoo!!! So I pantingly and excitedly asked her "when are you going? where are you staying? What theme parks are you doing? What rides are you interested in? Onsite or offsite? Universal? Hopper passes or regular? Cirque de Soleil? Car hire? Character dining?" etc. etc. etc. and she gave me a semi-blank, semi-confused look and said "I dunno, I just booked it through Virgin Holidays, I think we're staying in All Star something or other, the travel agent says it's nice, haven't really looked at the brochure properly yet". That was it! No analysing for her, no stressing about where to stay, no curiousity about the best deals and the best resorts etc. etc. etc. I felt, well, silly is one word, on account of being on the verge of collapse from exhaustion numerous times lately from all my internet rambling and rummaging only to discover that not everyone does that (lol!) and kinda shocked too that her curiousity about WDW is practically non-existent. Different strokes etc....... truthfully this holiday has turned into a semi-obsession for me, I really *do* need to chill out and just look forward to it. Hope you have a great holiday. I would definitely book *something* now if I were you. At least if nothing else emerges, you'll know you have a room at WDW!

Hi my name is Stitch Inside and I'm a DIS Addict. I used to just stare at my computer and pretend to work, now I really look like I'm working as I'm surfing the DIS. I'm up for a raise.

 

[schrodstrip]

I was really starting to feel bad about how much time I was spending here, it appears that it is normal! My DH is thinking of ways to save $ for the trip, How much should I charge /hr for my board surfing services?? Ha!

 

[mickeyluv]

HI ALL!! My name is mickeyluv and I am a DIS addict! In addition to my full-time day job, I have a part-time job working from home on my PC. I cannot tell you how many hours extra I have to stay up at night working because I have surfing these boards when I should have been working!!! Sometimes my DH will come into the room where I'm working and I will minimize the screen and act like I'm working just so I don't have to get the third-degree about having so much work to do from him!! But I love you guys! I have gotten alot of great information and tips from you all!!! I'm so glad to be addicted!!!!
