getting organised

[halloween12]

I know that I dont post on here often, but I read most days and you guys have helped so much with our trip planning.

Last week i bought my wedding dress for our WDW wedding - this has spurred me on to get a bit more organised.

In the last week we have done our ESTA's and booked a hotel on international drive for our first night (we fly out the day before our 2wks at disney - much cheaper to fly on the tuesday instead of the wednesday? and it means we can eat and get a good nights sleep the first day and then we can hit the ground running for the first day at disney)
The best bit it that the hotel cost us less than £1 per person!!!
I have an AA credit card and you accrue points on it - I have just over 3000, you can redeem them on lots of things... i opted for £30 Thomas cook voucher - the hotel was £33.85 for a double queen room for the 4 of us - so it only actually cost me £3.85.

And I picked up my dress yesterday which gives me some time to do some subtle halloween tweaks on it -

Overall I am as giddy as a kipper.

Still have my wedding license and car to sort out before we go - but we are getting there

Anything you get points or airmiles to spend is a great way to lower cost of a trip. This year we have flights worth about £1200pp but only paid about £280 using airmiles. Also 3 nights hotel @ $5.93/nt.
I use VA credit card rather than AA, gains us 1000's of miles a year.
Enjoy the rest of your planning.

Glad you are getting sorted - when do you go?

Sounds like a good plan.

We moved from I drive to disney one year. Checked in about 10am and the room was ready to our surprise. If it's not ready they will store your luggage but you can head to the parks and start usng your dining credits.

Hope all your plans are going well. You all must be getting so excited about the trip now.
