September 2004! DH doesn't quite "get Disney" and doesn't want to do any planning yet - he says, "it's a whole year from now." I've been saying, "ONLY a year! woo-hoo!"
We were planning a short trip December 2003, but I recently left my job to stay at home with DS(almost 3) and the Disney trip had to be postponed.
I don't mind waiting until next September, since we will be able to stay a whole week (maybe 2 if we time it right!) instead of just a long weekend, plus DS will be almost 4 then and ready for longer days. BUT we had already started talking about it with DS and he LOVES watching the planning DVD. We had to use a little creative redirection with him - as we had mentioned we'd see Mickey at Christmastime. (oops)
Luckily, DS has never been to WDW before, and somehow he has decided that our local amusement park (which has a castle-shaped gift shop) is the Magic Kingdom - is he ever in for a surprise! I hid the planning DVD and so far we just let him think that Dutch Wonderland is, indeed, the Magic Kingdom.
