February 2009

OK, so I'm desperate to plan our next trip. Our AP's just expired last Sunday, and it will be a year before we are able to return to DL. So I just logged on to the Hojo website and was surprised to find they have the Entertainment rates for next February already! So I'm happy to say, I have our hotel booked already! Only 359 days left

I think I'll wait to tell DH, he may just think I've completely lost my mind!

Very cool!!! Glad you got that rate!
That's what we do too - we got AP's last September - and we're going this September. Then it will be at least a year before we go back and get AP's again (well unless we get orders to move closer to DL - then we'll be buying APs sooner lol - and we are awaiting orders - we should find out where we're moving to in July - and we'll move in October or so...hoping for something within an easy drive to Disneyland or Disney World - as opposed to our now 20 hour drive lol)

I just booked mine for next Feb 14-21st also. Woohoo! Now I need a new counter strip thingy! My husband thinks I am nuts.

We are going back in Feb. too. We had a blast. What was your rate for HOJO?

How exciting! I'm going back in 2009 too.

$59 per night! I prefer staying just a bit closer, but since we need two rooms, it would cost twice as much anywhere else!

It's nice to know I'm not the only crazy one, with reservations for next year already!

We got the $59 rate. I booked 7 nights for $475. AMAZING!!

I have to warn against Pres Day weekend if you don't like crowds. I have heard from other posters that it's a bad weekend to go, then I experienced it myself just last week. The crowds really were very large. However, if you plan it right, you still won't have to wait very long for most rides. I posted my trip report in the trip report forum if you want more info.

Otherwise...YAY for you guys!!!! Not even one week home and I want to plan another trip...for October!!!

Jenn, we have no issues with crowds. My husband is a teacher so we always have to go during school breaks, so I wouldn't know what to do if the park was empty! Besides I love the longer hours and nightly fireworks during holiday weeks.

Oh I know it will be majorly crowded, but the darn schools just give me such a hassle when I take my son out of school, and next year I will have two in school. So, crowds it is! But we will have 7 days, which should give us plenty of shorter days, pool time, maybe even the beach. Also, for the first time, I plan on bringing reading material, and staking out prime seats as necessary for good viewing. Also, may do th VIP tour. We will wait and see!
