Going in October for 12 nights!

[wdwcps99]

My family and I booked our stay for October 12-23, 2009. There are 11 of us. My Mom, Dad, Me, My wife, our son (2), My younger brother (27), My older brother, his wife and their 3 kids (10,6,5). We are definitely doing the Safari Celebration Dinner while we are there. My wife and I were on the opening team for the Safari Grand Gathering, meaning we were in the first group of CM's trained to do it. We met working at Kilimanjaro in 2003. We now live in San Diego, CA. This is our first trip back to WDW since we moved. I am going to post my itinerary asap so you can all let me know your thoughts.
