Nope, but we booked the Dream for October 2013 when the dates were first released. It will be most of our first ever cruise (DW has been on Carnival before).

Leaving in 22 days! Christmas is also our favorite time!!! We will be at BLT this year then one night at AKL Jambo. (We added one night later due to air flights coming home.)

I just hope it's warmer this year than the past couple years. Looking forward to getting away. Just hope I can get everything done for work and finish up Christmas around here before heading out of town.

Love Disney at Christmas!

We were at BLT and I switched to AKL since we need a 2 bdrm and I think my in laws will enjoy it as they haven't stayed at AKL yet. I hear ya about the warmer - last year we were there up til the 24th and it was COLD! I don't think we have had a warm december trip since 07 or 08. Christmas is our absolute favorite time as well - it will be my in laws first trip during the holidays - can't wait for them to take it all in !!!!

That sounds like a wonderful trip - I will be looking forward to hearing about it! Did you book it on points or cash? I hope to cruise with our little guys in the next couple of years. My 5 year old can't wait to ride the aqua duck!!!

Cash. I posted exact price @ info over in the cruise opening day prices thread, but it was $2700 for 4 nights, 2 adults and 2 children in category 8d family state room. It's a long time until then, but we're excited.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas! Wishing everyone a safe and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I heard that all 4 parks were at capacity today. I guess the week after Christmas is not the week to go. We may try the week before/ week of next year.

Welcome and hopefully it goes thru. BWV is really nice. We own at SSR and BLT.

Welcome home! We love BWV, usually stay there in the spring for Flower & Garden show. We own at OKW, BLT & now Aulani!!

We just came back from our trip on the 18th, will send out short TR as soon as I get a chance. Got a little busy with Christmas & work, hopefully things will slow down after the new year. We love visiting Disney during the Christmas season!

DH is from Louisville & works downtown, his parents live there but I moved him to So. Ind when we got married. Now we just have to cross the bridge.

That hasn't been much fun lately has it?

The only time it's fun now is if we are heading towards the airport!

Hi all my fellow Kentuckians! Its been a while since I've been on the DISBoards. I've been pretty much absent since our trip in October. Wow--almost 4 months! That's quite a hiatus for me. Just thought I'd check and see what was new. There's a new sub board for DVC (DVC Resorts). When did that pop up?

Well, no planning for WDW this year. Asked my boys if they wanted to go to WDW or HHI this year. They voted HHI if you can believe that! So, hopefully, when the 7 month window opens in March, I'll be booking us a 1BR for a week at HHI in October.

Hope you all have had fantastic trips or will have upcoming fantastic trips!

A little late but here is a start.

DH & I left Fri 12/9 flew out of Louisville on SW (nonstop flight was late evening) so decided to take the stop over in St. Louis arrived at MCO at 2:30, made it a long day traveling but at least we were on our way! We both enjoyed the relaxing ride on ME and arrived at BLT in know time.

Our 1br lake view was wonderful. Room 7604 is on the north tower facing the lake but looking to the left you had a good view of MK. It was basic at the end of the hallway so it was a long walk to Contemporary, but it was 1 flight up or down from the skywalk so we never waited for the elevators.

MK had MVMCP that evening so we went to Epcot. A stop at Norway's Kringla Bakeri for roast beef sandwich & school bread (yummy). Otherwise we enjoyed walking around and enjoying all the sights and sounds of being "home". The crowd was getting heavy due to EH, MVMCP, & being a weekend, so we called it an early night and enjoyed the fireworks from our balcony!

Sat. We had ADR at Whispering Canyon Cafe for breakfast then spent most of the afternoon enjoying & relaxing at WL with all the decorations. Temps stayed low 70's and cloudy most of the day. Went to MK that evening, enjoying the Castle lighting and all the decorations.

Sun: Relaxed in our room, balcony was a little cool due to the north breeze. Headed over to Epcot for our CP that afternoon. We ate at Tutto Italia. DH had a salad & lasagna while I had the baked eggplant and veal roast. We both had the tiramisu for dessert. Both very good!! As we were finishing our dinner it started raining. Now we had to go stand in line for the CP, at least it was an off & on light mist at times. We made sure we got in line early enough so we were under the roof for the performance, so not sure how much it really did rain during the show. The CP was great as usual! We had Neil Patrick Harris as narrator, he was ok but we had seen better. We did not stay for Illuminations, a little cool and damp from the misty rain so we called it a night.

It's great doing a TR this late it helps me get my disney fix just talking about it. More to come later.

Just booked BLT standard view for December 16-23. This will be DH's first time at Christmas. It will be just the two of us. We are taking DD to HHI in May for her college graduation so I do have that to look forward too. Hope these 11 months fly by!
