No WDW trips this year, but waiting to book one for November 2005 with 13 family members. Going to Italy in November this year, so we rented (at the cost of dues) our points to family who took a trip the beginning of this month.
I'm fortunate enough to have a trip coming up next week. I do have 5 days reserved over Christmas week, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to cancel and use those points instead for a bigger unit/longer stay next Easter.
Usually go down in Feb., but don't yet know the exact dates in Feb. next year when I can take vacation time. So I have to wait a little longer before I can try to book that one.
We are in the same boat..............low on points, low on vacation time, many WDW trips in the last several years..........Are you sure you're not my wife.????
My wife has been saying exactly the same things you are in your initial 'post'................
We are going to bank our 65 points (that's all we are getting in October of 2004 because we borrowed quite a few for this past January)....................and then do a nice 2 week trip in Dec 2005........seems like 'forever' away.....................but we do have a 'semblance' of a plan.......

But seriously, it's quite eeiry ... I was just thinking about 2 weeks in Dec 2005 too!
Didn't want to totally skip 2005 and since our use year is Dec, it will technically be in the "next year."
Sigh. It is a looonnnng time to wait but it is something to look forward to. Maybe something will pop up in the meantime. If not Disney, at least SOMETHING!!!!!
Thanks everyone for all the posts. It's nice to know that I'm not alone. It's also nice to be "inspired" by everyone else's plans.
Nope, not really. We just got back from a trip 2 weeks ago and were going to go again next March too. BUT.....we might be relocating 1200 miles, so next March is up in the air. I think I'll book it to have something to fall back on. But I don't know if we'll be able to afford it (I hope our house sells for a good price!) or if dh will be able to get the time off from his possible new job. So you are not alone!
Expecting a baby this fall and I am not brave enough to tromp through the world pregnant, nor am I willing to take the newest addition until they can walk.....So we rented points this year and will bank 2005 points, but in 2006 - watch out! I think we'll go at least 3 times that year.
BTW - I have had very vivid dreams the last several days that we were packing to leave for WDW, so I've definitely got the itch, just no opportunity to scratch it for a while.
