disney blues and trip news

[Wills Mom]

Ok so after months of wallowing in my Disney Blues I've made the decision to start reading and occasionally posting on the Dis again. After our May trip I promised a TR and I swear I will get around to it. I'm 13 weeks pregnant with #2 (another Disney baby like DS) and the thoughts of no WDW in the forseeable future (along with the ever wonderful hyperemesis) had me completely down in the dumps for the past couple of months SOOOO.....DH and I (well mainly me!) are planning our next family trip and although its a good bit away I'm really excited to have a trip to plan and look forward to We're looking at October/November 2017 - yup, a loooooooong way off but we wanted to wait until both kids were a bit bigger. It was lovely bringing DS at 15 months but we're not sure we want to bring such small kids again. So DS will be 5.5 at that stage and this baby will be 3.5 so we're hoping we'll catch them at a nice age for both of them. And it will be strictly just us four, no extended family or friends on this trip. Hoping to do onsite for the duration, or at least a week onsite and only doing WDW. I'm a complete novice at booking and organising stuff onsite so I'll need lots of help and tips!
So in the meantime I'm putting the Disney Blues behind me, hopefully the hyperemesis too lol and looking forward to gathering as much info as possible between now and the time we can book

Welcome back ! I'm sure there are lots of us Disers ready to assist with planning!

It's never too early to plan a WDW vacation! I just decided the other day that is where my next trip will be (I was worrying about FP+ but realised I didn't care what happened with that, I just wanted to go back) and I have no idea when my next trip will be. I'm thinking 2014. Maybe 2015, but hopefully not further away than that, next up is looking at Hotels on I-drive... after some more youtube video watching of course

Good luck planning!

Welcome back and congrats....2017 will be here before you know it. We have been planning our 2015 for the past few years as last visit was 2006, since had DD and couldn't afford to return. We are still saving and I'm so excited that it's only 2yrs 3 months to go!! I love planning and already got DD, who is 5, watching the rides on youtube to help plan We are not, and have not stayed on site so I can't help you there. Happy planning

congratulations!!
I am planning our next trip for 2015 when our baby is 3.5. We decided not to go when she's so little too. (she is also a hg baby, hope your feeling better)

It's never too early to start planning

I've been so down since our October trip that I am only just starting to edit our photo's - and I've had a Disney photobook credit sitting in my account for the past 2 years 4 months

Roll on 2015!!

I know we are just one week back from Disney and there is such a void. I have been planning for so long. I am meant to be looking at holidays in Europe next summer and I keep checking Disney prices for that miracle deal!
Congratulations on the new baby. I hope everything goes well. My DS was 3.5years on his first trip with his older sister also on first trip. I have recommended to friends that ask that they wait till that age. He absolutely loved it. We didn't need buggies or any of the baby stuff so that was great too. I think Disney sprinkle you with the desire to go back - that is our fourth trip and the family always talk about next time. I just wish wages went up at the same rate as holiday prices.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with a far away trip in mind Half the excitement for me is the planning anyway lol. We started our savings account on Thursday, so we lodged 40 into it to start and I got some money for my birthday too so I'll lodge most of that too - well I'm getting a 3D gender scan in a few weeks so I'll pay for that and lodge the remainder Great to hear thay 3.5 is a good age to bring this baba, DH is saying maybe we should wait til this baby is 4.5 but my argument there is that both kids would be missing at least one week of school so we should go sooner (nothing at all to do with my complete and utter LOVE of WDW lol!!) I already have DH drove mad with talk of "and we'll eat in...." and "we'll book tickets for...." haha, he has literally years of listening to me harping on left! Poor man! lol!
So if we're aimimg for an October 2017 trip does anyone know when we'll be booking? I want to have almost all our trip cost saved by then so I can focus on spending money and other extras.

Welcome back and congratulations!

It'll be here before you know it

Congrats on the baby news ..... hope the rest of your pregnancy goes more smoothly

I booked our Oct 2014 trip about 2 months ago when the 2014 free dining deal was announced so assuming the timings remain the same you'll probably be looking to book about June 2016 ...... so rather than think of it as such a long time to go you can think of it as 3 years to save so you can pay it all off in one go

Congratulations on the new baby! Hugs for the hypermesis - planning our WDW 2014 trip helped me through my recent pregnancy! Baby is now almost 6 months old and we're going December next year. He'll be younger than I might have liked for a 1st trip, but its our 10th wedding anniversary and WDW is the obvious choice

I see from your siggie that you stayed at Glenbrook in May - how did you find it? Its on my husbands list should the bonus not cover an onsite hotel!

 

[Wills Mom]

Would be amazing if free dining was still available then but I suppose we can just wait and see what the offers are in 2016! That doesn't seem quite as far off as 2017 lol!

Thanks for the hugs re the hyperemesis! I think I had forgotten just how awful it was! I was bad on DS but this pregnancy has taken the cake. Never been as sick in my life, in and out of hospital seven times in seven weeks! I know almost the entire maternity ward staff at this rate lol.
As for Glenbrook that was our second stay there and we liked it. Its closer than some to amenties, like theres a CVS and Walgreens within a few mins walking which was handy if someone had taken the car elsewhere. Reeeeeeeally nice chinese takeaway behind the CVS too!! Both homes we stayed in were lovely. We'd definitely go back!

I'm planning for 2017 too! A long way off (and already 4 years since our last trip) but so comforting to have a firm date in mind.

I've already planned one schedule but am sure to rewrite it many times before 2017!

Yay!!! Another 2017 planner It really is great to have a firm date in mind. I haven't made much of a plan yet exactly but kind of have a rough draft in my head of how I'd like things to go. DH thinks I am full on crazy. I'm more focused on making a budget at the moment and sticking to it, so far so good! I'm really really hoping prices don't inflate TOO much otherwise we'll have to completely change our plans or else go in 2018 like DH wants (heaven forbid lol!)

Count me in too for the 2017 planning its a big birthday and I can't think of anywhere better to celebrate with DH xx

SO true!!! I'd say our next trip after 2017 will be a big birthday trip! Although we have so long to save for the 2017 trip I reckon we'll splash out on that trip and then have cheaper off site trips after that. Unless staying on site with the kids ruins us for off site stays lol!
