I should be able to book in the morning so ........ where should I book?

 

[momof2TNboys]

Oh, I hope you are still planning on going. I do not see your ticker right now. Am I missing it? I hope your dates are over 4th of July. We have booked our trip and will be in WDW from July 3rd to July 9th. We are going to Vero first for six nights and then heading to WDW. We are staying at the Beach Club.
Can't wait to hear about your plans.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Yippee!! So great to see that ticker. Congratulations. 2am? Well, I guess when the urge strikes, the urge strikes.

Can't wait to hear more about your plans!

I am blaming it on the full moon waking me up. LOL! More details later!

Resorts may change, and change....
Just don't change that date!!!!

Not changing the date at all! Promise!

I did notice the ticker before I read your update. Every time I see your posts, I look for a new ticker (And by the way, I wish I could "like" it!)

Congrats on the trip. Can't wait to hear planning details!

LOL! I know -- there are lots of times I wish I could hit the "like" button on the DIS!

Congrats on booking your trip, your preliminary trip, shall we say!

LOL! I think I might just stick with this one -- unless an even better deal comes along.

Congrats on booking your trip!
Can't wait for the details.

More details this morning.

OOH, could it be GF?!!

Not a chance. I wish, though.

I have just suffered that fate. I got a new car and I do not have a regular antenae. I have one of those thick ones like I had for my Onstar. I am going to have to think of something to rig up my antenae bopper.

My antenna toppers always make me smile.

Oh dear I wonder where you will stay??? Enquiring minds want to know.

I will satisfy your curiosity soon.

ETA- we have strange things going on again. I saw HD post but yet mine posted before hers.

I hate when the DIS gets all squirrely.

I am with Anita on this one, change your resort but DON'T change the dates!!! We get to be in Disney together!!!!

Nope, not changing the dates! I'm so excited at the chance to hang out with everyone on this trip! We will have so much fun!

Congratulations on the new ticker!!!

When do we get the current details? I say current, because of course, we know that the resort choice is subject to change.

I'm going to guess Wilderness Lodge. No good reason. Although I think you should stay at AKL given your love of giraffes.

Hi, Sheree. Thanks for sharing my ticker excitement. I think we will be sticking with this resort since we got such a great deal on it. Now that could change if Disney releases better deals, but I am not sure I see that happening since it is over the Fourth.

Anybody brave enough to venture a guess on the number of changes?

All I know is if you change your date it's looking like you might be in big trouble with a mob of DIStown gals, so you better be sure that part stays the same.

Maybe not so many changes this time. Maybe...

I wouldn't dream of changing dates -- I wouldn't want to get in trouble with anyone.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Ooh a new ticker?!?! Sweet!!!!!

Thanks for sharing my ticker excitement!

Love the new ticker!! YAYAY for booking!! Can't wait to hear more!!

More details this morning!

I DID see the new ticker before I saw you post WHAOOOO those pin codes really do inspire some spur of the moment decisions, don't they? LOVE THEM!

Disney does know how to reel me in! LOL!

and I am jealous that your fridge has room for pictures. mine is full of magnets, appointments and school work that is due before Christmas

I cleared off the fridge to make room for all the pictures -- normally it is full of other things.

Yay for a ticker! That always makes it official!

Can't wait to hear the details on the resort. I'm wondering about the GF too???? Did you finally take that plunge? I'm guessing GF or back to AKL.

Nope. Nothing that swanky. LOL!

Yay for a new ticker!!! How cool that you were able to book the pin code online!! (And yay for someone else being a notorious resort changer! )

LOL! Oh, yes, I have quite the reputation for changing resorts. It's always hard for me to pinpoint exactly where I want to stay.

I should be able to book in the morning so ........ where should I book?

LOL! Details coming up!

Oh, I hope you are still planning on going. I do not see your ticker right now. Am I missing it? I hope your dates are over 4th of July. We have booked our trip and will be in WDW from July 3rd to July 9th. We are going to Vero first for six nights and then heading to WDW. We are staying at the Beach Club.
Can't wait to hear about your plans.

My ticker seems to disappear at odd times. We are still going so I am super excited that our dates match up completely -- July 3 through the 8th for us!

 

[momof2TNboys]

Yay!! So glad we will be there at the same time! I can't wait to hear about the details. Maybe we can hang out at SAB!

 

[Charleston Princess]

As you know, my original plans were to rent points and stay someplace ritzy like AKL or Boardwalk. I wasn't even going to do anything about booking until January -- I needed to get through the holidays.

However, Disney can be sneaky, sneaky, sneaky.

I had been on the Disney site pricing out hotel rooms just for comparison purposes, and then, a few days later Disney sent me an email that read in part...

"GAME ON!

Thanks for your interest in a Walt Disney World® Resort visit. Now it’s our move.

We just wanted to make sure you and your family have everything you need to plan your next Walt Disney World® Resort visit! And since you’re thinking about coming in July, the offer to the right would be a great way to get the most magic out of your stay."

Well, that offer to the right was quite a deal -- moderate rooms at $140 a night for the entire month of July including the Fourth of July.

I was going to call and price things out, but then I noticed that you could book online.

Tricky Disney.

Let's just say it is hard to argue with a price on a room that is less than renting points.

And we didn't want the room we wanted to disappear.

So we are booked July 3 -- July 8 at...

Port Orleans Riverside.

We haven't stayed there since December 2004, and we love the new refurbed rooms.

Well played, Disney. Well played!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Yay!! So glad we will be there at the same time! I can't wait to hear about the details. Maybe we can hang out at SAB!

Anita had mentioned the same thing. I think that would be fun!

 

[momof2TNboys]

Yay for POR! You are going to have a blast! That is a great price. See, Disney missed you!

 

[oOJulieOo]

Yay!!!

I'm so excited for you! POR is my absolute favorite Disney Resort. I just love the atmosphere there.

You had me laughing at "Well played, Disney. Well played."

 

[Native NYer]

Disney definitely knows how to get people to book!
Love the refurbed rooms at POR.

 

[DisMomAmy]

Congratulations!! ​

 

[mousescrapper]

love the new ticker and Disney over the 4th sounds so fun! I bet the fireworks will be AWESOME

yay for the ressie and at POR...so wonderful for you all

 

[Poolrat]

Fabulous !!!!! So great to hear you are booked at POR.

Add me to the club going over July 4th.

I am booked July 1-6 at VWL and am wait listed for BCV and/BWV.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Hurrah!! Sounds great. And how cool there will be so many DISers there at the same time!

 

[micandminforever]

Great news about POR and a great price. The rooms in the Alligator Bayou section are nice also. Here is the link to pictures http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2744783&page=228. The new murphy bed is a little longer than the old one.

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Yay for POR!!! That's a great PIN code you guys got, how awesome that it was also usable on July 4th!

 

[MeMom]

So we are booked July 3 -- July 8

Very nice.
Awesome that you got that discount. They want you back!!!

As of now, our plan is to fly down the day after church camp, which will be June 23rd. Jill, John, and Brooklynn will fly back on July 1st, but if I have the money, Brooklynn and I will stay on until the 5th. Our annual passes run out the 2nd, I think, so we'd either have to renew our passes, add regular park tickets, or just do some non-park things, like extra DTD time, resort hopping, maybe see a movie, try out a mini-golf course, etc. I don't know how much, if any of that, is going to happen, but that is the penciled in plan as of now, so Brooklynn and I are 'maybes' for 4th of July fireworks.

If we stay, it would be our longest trip ever at 13 days. I kind of want to do it for research purposes. I've always said that even at 10-11 days, we left things undone, and it was still hard to leave. I'm wondering if just a few more days would convince me that two weeks really is ample time to get plenty of play time and relaxation time and be ready to face going home without being sad.

 

[Mndisneygirl]

YAY!!!! What a great deal and I love how they grabbed you right after you were "looking'!
POR is so great - the newly refurbished rooms look so nice.

I'm so jealous of all of you getting together over the 4th!! That will be so much fun!

 

[IheartDDuck]

Yay, a new Ticker!

You're right, Disney really gets you with their sneaky emails. Love the resort choice.

 

[Spartangirl]

Congrats, Jackie!!! I would say, "Very well played, Disney!" I'm so glad to hear that you are set on a resort!!!

Didn't think Disney was going to happen for me this coming year, but I was able to "sneak" in a little side trip. Chris and I were making travel plans and I knew he wanted to go to some other places besides Florida this coming year. Can you imagine? I suggested California. I told him we couldn't go to CA without stopping at DL (of course this was after the flights were already booked)..... So, we'll be spending 3 days there. I'm a happy girl!
