Yay, Pas!!! You know what I think of that change!! SAB renovation is complete and they will be ready for you! (Although we were fine during the rehab, too.) Very exciting news!

Oh, the possibilities are endless!!!! Once we get our budget set for our April 2013 trip, I'll have a better idea of whether we'll sneak in anymore during our Year of the AP

Our April trip will be another long one, 8-10 nights, so that will take precedence. Once that's "planned", I will plan what else I can do....

Mousemommy, the possibilities ARE endless! Our APs are intended to cover our recent trip and our week-long trip in February 2013. I won't admit how much planning I've done for my imaginary trips in between! (But I will say that one currently involves Poly, CR and YC.)

We were posting at the same time...hi amanda

Lol... I don't swim with creatures. I'm with DH.

Where's Padawans?? She's single digit dancing too!

 

[jennyjinx3]

Can you ladies help me out? I know this is not really about RCing, but about our future trip times. Although I foresee alot of RCing then too!
Two scenarios, would you:

Get AP in Sept for our 9 night trip, go back in early Feb 2013, and then last week or so of August 2013

or

Get AP for a May 2013 trip, go back early December 2013?

I am not familiar with when Disney offers AP resort discounts, or going at these times of year, as we have always gone in Sept / Oct so far. Any opinions?? Thanks!

My guess is that she is avoiding the RC'rs, in that her trip is so close, no need to be tempted to change. I have seen her respond on some other threads, but not on here.

But yay for single digit dancing!!! I wish I was that close!!! 83 days to go!

Well, it seems as though you will get more use out of it if you get it for your Sept trip, as you could get 3 trips out of it.

I see it like this, we know we are going in July for a 10 night tirp and April 2013 trip for a 9-10 night trip...so right there are two trips for which we'd need 10 day hoppers...(for us)...so that is approx $2800 in tickets...(which doesn't reflect the price increase that is most certainly going to take place shortly). For $1928, we now have AP's that will cover both of those trips, at a locked in ticket price, so we don't have to worry about the price increase...and, we are saving approx $900 (possibly $1000) in ticket costs over the two trips...well worth it right there...and, we can try and spread out the savings, and perhaps book at least one more trip in there as well...

From your choices I would get the AP in Sept. If we don't get to go down this Oct for MNSSHP, I may renew our AP's next July for another July trip next year, then Oct 2013, and we are also planning on going for sure in Feb 2014...boy, this could go on forever!

Just want to congratulate Jeanette on squeezing in two extra days. Your trip is coming up! So that means the Suburban will be filled with all your goodies soon (don't forget any kids). The kids must be so excited and you really deserve a break.

I hope that Chimo is okay - so sorry about your friend

Not avoiding. I never let other peoples changes or opinions influence my descisions. I am perfectly capable of changing on my ownIve been following the changes. I'm interested to see where you all end up. I have a feeling none of you are done. 5 more hours of work today. 12 hours tomorrow and I'm off for 3 weeks. Then I can start the process all over again when I get back.I'm on break eating a plate of french fries. I was trying so hard to be good before vacation. I will give you my thoughts when I return.

Fries fill the cracks in our heart! They're comfort food. I can't believe how soon you'll be at the KKC! You know we are all waiting to hear your honest review of Poly CL and your room

Hope work goes quickly for you!

I wish I was so close!!!!

I'm now to the so close yet so far away part of wait up to a trip...luckily we've got weddings, birthdays, etc...to keep the mind occupied...

Have a great trip, padawans! Really happy for you! I'm trying to decide about CL at Poly (it's part of my imaginary summer trip, but also part of my real February 2013 trip) so I'll really look forward to your review. Also wondering about BWI - that's not CL, right? We have friends heading down to BWI (staying deluxe CL) on Saturday!

Dear RC Friends,

I have a lot to catch up on ...but will have to leave that for later as I need to get on the road.

A few things ..

Marie: You are a terrific friend. I hope you are feeling better.

Padawans: Have a fabulous trip! I look forward to all your resort reviews.

Welcome back Heather!! Missed you.

Jeanette ... you did add the two days - fabulous!!

Welcome back Sarah!! Can't wait to hear all about your trip!


I am going to Rochester as my Mom has surgery tomorrow ... meant to post yesterday, but time got away from me. She is having a masectomy but the good news is that is is stage one, so we are all staying very positive.

Say prayers for her .... she is a strong lady and will get thru this I know. I will be staying until Sunday, but I will MOST definitely find WiFI so I can get on the DIS so I can be connected with you all.

I miss being on the boards as much, and will check in when I can.

Janet, your mom will be in my prayers. Sounds like they caught it early though so best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I. AM. DONE

There. I said it. I mean it.

I got the "feeling" today...you know, that "I'm going to Disney soon" feeling, and I got sooooo excited!!! In all of this planning, and changing, and stressing about making this trip perfect....I forgot about the most important thing...I'm going back to Disney!!!!



Now I'm just counting down the days until we check in the WL for our magical vacation...

 

[momjkm]

I read the 1st page and LOVE IT!!! I am exhausted at all these resort possibilities....
So why not open it to others as indecisive as me?

Background:
I have been to disney as a child, pre-teen and on my honeymoon in 1992. But never stayed there until 1999 when took dd (then 5) to Dixie Landings.

We did the whole family thing (dh and 2 kids) in 2003 and fell in love with the Wilderness Lodge. Went back there with Ds in 2008 and 2009. So really like WL. Did a quick trip again with him (had an AP) to POP in January 2009. \
My son is a disney fanatic historical film making all kinds of stuff....

During the trips with my son (then 11yr and 12yrs old) my dd was 14 and 15 yr old and was happy I wasn't making her go to DIsney... I have actually found I have a much better time with one child at a time (whether it is disney or virginia beach or Cali last summer- took DD for HS grad present).

SO after dd and I's trip to Southern Cali which included Disneyland, she is like why didn't you make me go to WDW before? cause you were a miserable teenager and didn't want to ???


OK-- so her and I are going in August- 8 nights most likely. Will fly in early, fly out late on our last day.

I am waiting for summer AP rates so making myself extra nuts cause they aren't out.

My options
1) 8nights at either CSR, POFQ, or POR (which I remember from 13 yrs ago as being very pretty). A perk for POFQ or POR is the boat to DTD... shopping Cheaper than options 2 and 3 but then extra money for things I have never done like the Luau and CRT....

2) Or a split stay: one of those moderates and then Beach Club for 3 days. DHS and Epcot being so close will be nice. And Stormalong Bay. But is moving all our stuff going to be a pain? I can't swing BC $$ for the whole time..

3) WL for the whole 8 nights.... Inside rooms (I like) Balcony nice but in August not used as much as it would be in like October or March---

Any and all input welcome
