Am I crazy, or did you guys do this, too?

[holcomb-mania]

We just got our paperwork yesterday, and I've already planned 4 vacations over the next 2 years!

- Poly in Dec 06,
- SSR in June 07,
- SSR, with MAYBE an effort to get VWL or BCV or BWV, in early Dec 07 (to sqeeze out a 3rd trip with the APs),
- SSR/VB combo in June 08 (probably just for waterparks and DtD/relaxation).

And I'm fighting off a nasty case of addonitis!

BTW, anybody interested in renting points from my Sept 08 UY?

 

[Frankiesmom]

Are you planning a stay @ the POLY on points? I love the POLY!!!

 

[Doctor P]

To get maximum use out of your points, you really do need to think and plan ahead. We have a fairly good idea out to 2009.

 

[holcomb-mania]

Our Poly stay will be on points. I made a ressie with AAA in January, and shortly thereafter began seriously thinking about DVC. With the ability to bank the 05UY points, I'm going to cancel the current ressie and actually made one thru MS today for the Poly.

The whole family had their heart set on the Poly for our quick Christmas-season trip, but after that we'll use points for DVC only.







Maybe.

 

[bdb7607]

Yep, we're planned out to 2009.....kind of scary, isn't it?

Congrats and WELCOME HOME!!!

 

[Plutofan]

We have everything planned out through 2008.

2006 Disney BCV and HH
2007 Vero Beach & DCL
2008 SSR for Christmas

Now what do we do in 2009?

 

[dianeschlicht]

LOL, you mean to tell me you only planned 2 years out????? When we first purchased DVC, we had trips planned for 5 and 6 years out! Now that those years are 4 years behind us, we only plan a year at a time.

 

[holcomb-mania]

lol. I'm not worthy!

 

[NYMomof4]

I've been working on the "plan the next trip" before you take the one you already planned, so that I will always have an upcoming reservation to look forward to...So in 2 days I go to BCV, knowing I have an August trip planned. WHen I get back I will have to start planning the next one (maybe late fall or another winter trip!LOL

 

[problemchild718]

I think they put something in the envelope!!! As soon as that paperwork comes, we all get possessed with pixie dust!!!

 

[DisneyNutMary]

Welcome Home!!
We are planned out only through the end of 2007.
We still have not decided if we will go to DL in 2008 or WDW, or maybe cruise again, so we have no plans for those points yet.

 

[cobbler]

I have planned out to 2009 as well but it changes so much.

I know 06 is Cont
07 - book SSR, change to VWL, BC or BW (which ever I get first)
07 book SSR, hope to change to OKW
08 - well that is still up in the air depending on where we stay Jan 07, will book SSR and will waitlist to whatever we didn't get in Jan of 07
09 - Poly

And MAYBE - another trip in 08.

I have a vague idea, but it is the next vacation that is up in the air. Because of the extra 2005 banked points, and because we just got back from a non-DVC WDW vacation, we're trying to squeeze two trips in one year somewhere. Here is the tentative plan:

Nov 2006 (booked) or possibly change to February 2007: SSR 1 bedroom, or maybe VWL if we can get it
August 2007: HHI (fingers crossed, hope we'll get it)
August or October 2008: SSR grand villa, woo hoo

2009 is up in the air. We'll borrow most of those points for the 2008 GV if we do that, so we'll see if we skip a year or just borrow from the next or whatever. Of course, we'll probably have added on by then

 

[TammyAlphabet]

Absolutely, I am still doing it.

By the way, planning this far ahead is where addonitis begins!

 

[Lisa F]

Dang, we're only planned out to 2007. We are doing a 1 bedroom for 1 week early december 2006 and then getting a 1 bedroom in october 2007 for food and wine festival. We also have rented out 56 points to someone who has rented from us before and needed the points, that will nearly pay for our APs. So now it's just airfare and food

 

[Frankiesmom]

we have vacations planned out till Oct. 2008

 

[Kick Save]

I also have the sickness...two trips booked, the third in the works. My wife has determined that I'm just not happy unless I'm planning our next trip to Disney.

Aug '06 - VWL
Dec '06 - BWV (with a Boardwalk view )
Aug '07 - BWV, probably with a few in-laws.

That's three trips on one set of APs...can't wait.

My trips have a pattern which I guess is a plan, but always subject to change:
Buy an annual pass every 2 years
Take a food and wine October trip every year...per the pass...plan one trip a week earlier then the next trip.
On the years I have a pass, book a week at Disney for spring break and a week(each) in July at both HH and Disney
On the years I have no pass, book a week at HH or Vero for springbreak and a week in July at HH if desired or go somewhere 'different' for a change
Some years I will also do Thanksgiving at HH or Disney if I feel like it or even Xmas.
Upon retirement, the cycle will change and I will do January trips to Disney, which I really love!

Totally...just don't expect the plans to "hold". I wrote down my "original" plans... but since then, we have sold some contracts, add-on at others, moved our real "home", and quit my job (which required I travel off school-season). Okay...TOTAL change of plans.

But, dreaming was a LOT of fun!!
