Has Anyone made their March Break 2011 Plans

[mtmbyck]

Flying out of MOntreal March 10th-20th on Air Transat - $440 per person but direct and great flight times. 2 night stay at Beach Club Villas (rented points from a DVC owner so only $300 per night for a 2 bedroom villa). THen off to Marriott Grand Villas for the remaining 8 nights. Had a vote at the dinner table last night and we have decided to do EPCOT, TYPHOON LAGOON (Blizzard Beach is closed), ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE (new Hary POtter) and AQUATICA. We`ve done the parks every year so not a huge issue to miss some.

Let`s hope for better weather than last March Break!

I`d love to hear your plans.........

We haven't booked anything yet but we are planning to go to Mexico. I've been watching a few all inclusives but at this point the prices are still high...I guess it's just a little too soon. I'm excited though and would like to book now....this will be our first actual MB trip. Normally, I'm not willing to pay the extra to travel that week but we came into some money this year and that is the treat we are giving ourselves. I think we will still go a little off MB though...probably take DD out of school for 2 or 3 days to hopefully save a few dollars and save dealing with some of the airport crowds.

Hi, We are flying out of Pearson on Mar 12 to MCO. Spending one night in Cocoa Beach before taking a 4 night cruise on the Disney Dream. Staying one more night in Cocoa Beach before flying home on the 18th!

Flying in March 3rd direct from Halifax, staying in a 1BR at the AKV (Jambo Value..) and then hitting our first cruise on the 10th. Back home on the 14th through Montreal. Counting down the days!

We're driving. Did it last March and loved it! Myself, hubby, and two boys age 12 years and the youngest (will be)18 months. Leaving March 4th - staying the first week at Wyndham Sea Gardens in Pompano Beach and the 2nd week at Cypress Pointe in Orlando. March seems so far off.

We were booked and ready to go. We had Disney Dream booked and deposited, we had USO/HRH booked and deposited and we had our beach getaway booked, the van booked....everything except the flights. Then the kids said they wanted the basement finished. So we decided as a family that was the best idea and cancelled and then free dining came out so we get to finish the basement and go to Disney now but not until fd in August.

I feel lonely....I'm the only not doing to WDW for March break. but I am going for 2 weeks in August 2011 for free dining.

Dancin Disney Style, I have a reccommendation.......

Last January we went to Beaches Turks and Caicos and stayed in the new Italian Village and I am going to tell you it was THE BEST vacation we have ever had! It had numerous pools and swim up bars, a full waterpark, 16 restaurants, everything was completely free once you paid to go!! My kids are dying to go back. The Italian Village is all suites and the kids had their own room. Turks is known for being the most beautiful carribbean island and the snorkling was amazing. It is pricey compared to others but worth every penny. My DD's 10 and 13 spent all of their time at the waterpark and loved Bobby D"s which is a 50's diner for kids - since everything is free they would go mid afternoon for some fries, an icecream float, or just to hang out and feel grownup. If you have little ones, the Seseme Street Charaters are everywhere and no lines like at DIsney. Elmo walked around the pool and other than the odd photo, he was basically begging for attention!

At least you arte going away for March Break.

T&C sounds great...in fact 2 of our friends went there last year and couldn't say enough good things about it. I have never looked at it but I kind of think that it will cost way more than I am willling to pay. I'm looking to spend around $3000 including taxes. So I'm hoping it find something in Mayan Riviera but the back up plan is Punta Cana. I would really love to go to one of the southern islands but the prices get pretty steep for MB.

Airfare not booked, but the DCL is!!!

7 night DCL to the MR! And either time in DL or San Diego, depending on where my DH's meeting is after the cruise. They moved the meeting so we did not have to re-book the cruise and that way we get one of the YUL to LA tickets paid for! And the hotel after!

I am hoping for DL b/c it would be there for my birthday. I am happy to do DL solo while DH is at the meeting... took the kids solo for a week to WDW in June and it was great.

Happy Booking everyone!

We are booked to fly out of Buffalo on March the 9th. No return flight yet but we are coming home on the 20th. We are staying at BLT in 1 bedroom, theme park view!! Can't wait!!

 

[greenclan67]

We are booked to fly out on March 7th from Buffalo! No return flight yet, and I can't believe the release prices for Airtran for return! We were planning the 19th, but it may be more likely the 18th because of the prices. I will wait and see how they come around!

We're heading to WDW Feb 27- March 6...which isn't March Break here, but we want to avoid crowds, so we're going early! (the kids will love coming back home for one week of school and then going on another March break! ). We have POP booked already, but no plane tickets yet. I'm waiting on on better deals on flights out of Toronto.

 

[mtmbyck]

I was going to wait for cheaper flights but honestly as I have been watching, they are going up!! JetBlue flights are crazy this year! I really don't think they will get any better for March Break. I should have commented that my AirTransat flights were $198 return (not bad for direct) but the taxes were more than the flights driving them to $440 each. But flying early and returning on a weekend so more pricey that the Friday to friday flight.

Anyone recall how brutal the MArch break weather was last year in Florida? It was warmer in Toronto the day we came home! Let's hope for more heat and sunshine!!

 

[braddillman]

Already booked flights and minivan, still haven't booked our timeshare yet. But in Halifax, our "March break" is actually 2 weeks in February. So we're going for 15 days (taking off Friday early enough to land by noon!).

We will be on this cruise also

 

[grantclaire]

Great to have you aboard! This will be our 3rd DCL trip!

 

[bababear_50]

Heading down March 13-March 19th Disney's Old Key West Resort.
We were also booked to take a cruise on the "Disney Dream" BUT I found this beautiful cottage ----- sooooooooooooo I canceled the cruise part of the trip.
I booked the flight today --expensive but atleast I was able to use some petro canada points to off set the cost.
Now to plan out the week!

Happy planning everyone
Hugs Mel

PS***** I noticed quite a few people taking a cruise--feel free to check out my photobucket for door signs and FE ideas.

We are going on DCL to the Mexican Riviera on the Wonder. We got in on the Kids sail free pomo! But... the flights were more expensive than the cruise. We are hoping to hit DL the day before the cruise. Good Times!! Only 190 days to go!

We booked this cruise too...

March 13 to the 20th on the Wonder out of LA. We are staying in Disneyland for a few days after the cruise.

We booked our flights on DELTA for $129 each way,
$300.00 total roundtrip, all taxes in.

Not too bad, but not as good as we usually get to Orlando. First time booking with them, so we will see. Hopefully they don't change the flights around too much!

So excited to see Cabo and zipline in Puerto Vallarta!
