Booking 2 Trips to the Fort for 2013

[alayne]

I know it's a long way off but I'm so excited that I just had to post. Our travel agent is booking 2 trips to the Fort for 2013. The first trip will be in May (hopefully SWW) and the second will be in November for Thanksgiving.

Due to a new baby and a big family Thanksgiving event we were unable to get a trip in this year so I talked my DH into letting us have 2 trips next year.

The first trip in May is looking like it will be myself, DH, DS8 and our two nieces DN10 and DN12. We will take our 5th Wheeler on Thursday, May 16th and depart on Monday, May 20th. Hoping that this will be the first weekend of SW and we will just spend all our time at DHS.

The second trip in November we will add my DM and our new daughter Maddie who will be a year and a hafe. My DM will bring her camper too. Plans are to arrive on Friday, Nov. 22 and depart Monday, Dec. 2. I'm hoping that this will allow us to do the MVMCP.

Again, I know it's very far away and the dates to SWW and MVMCP aren't even close to being released but I'm already super excited. My DM doesn't like to plan ahead more than a week (2 at the most) so she doesn't want to talk about it at all. My DH and kids will talk about it some but move on to today's events quickly. Me on the other hand I could talk about Disney 24/7. Anyone else want to talk Disney even though your trip is next year? I'm hear!

Color me green with envy. Sounds like a great 2013 shaping up for your family.

<I thought to myself "what does SWW" mean?> I'm guessing Star Wars Weekend since you mentioned it's at DHS.

The long May weekend trip should be nice. It's warm enough to swim comfortably and between the Easter and summer break crowds.

The November trip sounds like a nice long vacation.

Enjoy them both.

Our Travel Agent called yesterday and she booked the May spots at the Fort but it's too early to add dining or tickets. We have to wait till July 11th to hold the spots at the Fort for Nov.

So I have a question: can you add dining to a reservation without purchasing tickets. I was thinking I might purchase the park tickets at the Disney store and give them to the kids on their birthdays. Then just add dining to our reservation at the Fort. Is this possible?

The kids and I had to deliver some meds to one of our customers who lives about 30 min away. On the way all they talked about was Disney. They only know about the Nov. trip.

I believe you need to purchase the package to get dining. It doesn't come a la carte. I am sure you can come up with something creative that they can open for their birthday.
