Does anyone know when April premier season will be for 2005?

[invalid_char]

We will shortly need to make a reservation for our annual 12 night trip in May. When we go on this trip in 2004, we will need to buy new annual passes (yikes!). We'd like to schedule our 2005 trip so it falls before the passes expire. We would rather keep our 2004 trip to the mid or beginning of May (the end of May we suspect would be too darn hot for us, plus the weather is generally nice where we live at that time) and then push the 2005 trip into the end of April, even though it is the more expensive Magic season (funny, but for some reason there is only a 3 pt. difference for a 2BR over the weekend between Magic and Dream season) HOWEVER, we do not want to get caught in the whole Premier season, Easter, spring break mess, nor would we want to push the vacation back to early April (weather is iffie).

Anyway, this is just a long-winded way of saying: I need point charts for 2004 and 2005, or atleast an indication of when Premier season will fall for April!

Maybe this question is not answerable at this point; but if it is, I know this is the right place to ask!

Easter is March 27 in 2005 so I would guess that the premier season will be the week before and the week after. History says that that will be it.

For 2004,
Feb 16 thru Apr 3 is Magic season
Apr 4 thru Apr 17 is Premier season
Apr 18 thru Apr 30 is Magic season
May 1 thru Jun 10 is Dream season

For 2005,
Jan 1 - Jan 31 is Adventure season
Feb 1 thru Feb 15 is Dream season
Feb 16 thru Mar 19 is Magic season
Mar 20 - Apr 2 is Premier season
Apr 3 - Apr 30 is Magic season
May 1 thru Jun 10 is Dream season

The above of course are only for the WDW resorts. VB and HH are different.

My DVC Planner program has point charts through 2010. Originally developed in 2001 and based on DVC patterns, they proved to be 100% accurate when the 2002, 2003 and 2004 charts were released. Therefore I have every confidence the 2005 chart will be correct. You can download the planner using the link in the signature below.

Thank you both.

Bill, I definitely got the "where have you been all my (DVC) life" feeling when I started to use your program. Very nice, thank you.

BTW, which language did you use to write it... just curious.

Wow! I was just going to ask about Easter 2005 myself, as we too seem to have a pattern of going to WDW in early May, trying to avoid those who are still there after Easter. I didn't expect such a complete answer! Thank you very much!
