Early 2012 Planners - anyone else?!

[anjalee6]

We have a trip planned for 2011, but we are also already planning our 10 year anniversary trip for fall 2012. Our anniversary is in November, but we will take any time from Sept. - Nov. (whenever the cheapest prices are available).

Maybe you other 2012 planners can help me out...

I started nursing school last January, and ever since then we have been planning a trip for right after my graduation in January 2012. We've always wanted to stay at the Poly, and were planning on doing deluxe dining and staying for more than week - basically going all out. My husband started a new job last year so this huge trip for my graduation would be making up for about 2 years of no vacations. We've really been looking forward to it....

Well, I recently had a miscarriage and my husband & I had our hearts broken as we have been trying to have a baby for a long time. As much as we both love Disney, my heart just isn't in it. We just found out that he gets a week vacation in 2011, and were tenatively planning a quick trip to California, and doing 3-4 days in Disneyland hopefully this summer. I just don't know what to do. Disneyland this summer AND Disney World next January? Disneyland this summer OR Disney World next January? We're going to be trying to have a baby again soon and I don't want to fly across the country this summer in my first trimester, but theres a good chance that it will take a while for me to get pregnant again and I don't want to miss out on things just because I *might* be pregnant then. If we book a vacation package through Disney for our Disney World vacation in January 2012, I'll get trip insurance and not book airfare until I'm sure we're able to go. But I'm not sure about Disneyland, since we're not staying in one of the DL resorts if we can book everything and have trip insurance just in case we can't go last minute. I'm also feeling like maybe instead of going to California, we should save that money or use it for some projects we've been talking about like remodeling our bathroom or kitchen. I just don't know, I feel like I change my mind everyday about whether or not we should go (to DL this summer and WDW in January) and I'm driving my husband crazy I believe.

I know this is a lot, just hoping for some input! Thanks!

Can you do both? Perhaps plan both and wait to book. Sounds like you can book DL kind of last minute. I would plan out the DW January trip and book that by the fall. If you end up getting pregnant then you will be so happy you won't care if you have to not book/or cancel a trip! I don't think there is a penalty to cancel a DW trip as long as you cancel 45 days in advance. Hang in there

I think that is what we are going to do, I just needed someone else to point it out. Thanks!

So glad I found this thread and that I am not the only one planning so far in advance!

We are currently living in Africa and are looking forward to 2012 when we get to come back to the US for a visit. We're looking at a stay at WDW in September 2012 (tenatively the 9th-14th). Hoping for free disney dining or some other good deal that is usually that time of year! We'll be going with two other families (good friends of ours that we have been missing alot). It will be 6 adults and 9 kids (ages 1-15). I can hardly wait!

Anyone else planning for September 2012?

Planning a May 12 trip for my sister's UCF graduation. First or second week in May. Will be me, DH, mom & her DBF, DSis11, and DBro13. Fun crowd. We'll prob be staying in an ASMu fam suite unless AoA fam suites opens up earlier than they're saying. *crosses fingers*

Beginning of August is when the following year's prices have been traditionally released.

 

[Ericandus]

Count us in!! We plan to go back starting Jan 2nd and stay as long as the budget allows!! Fingers crossed for free dining! That is the best savings for our family!!

 

[TerrytownGrl]
