Have 527 Days Until Our Vacation, But I Need Some Disney Magic Now!*22 DAYS TO GO!!!!

[Lidian]

Glad to see you here Lidian. At least I am not having a conversation with myself. Seems I have had many viewers but only one comment besides myself.

Hey, I'm okay if you have a conversation with yourself. I'll just enjoy my snacks.

I'm here!

You don't know me, but your title totally caught my attention, seeing as it's only been roughly 1,140 days since I've been in WDW - but who's counting. I feel your pain, really, I do...

Every time I leave WDW, I swear that I'll be back sooner than the last time... 5 years is just too long between trips.

So, I am gonna hang out for a while and see what you have planned.

D~ <---- Who makes herself "at home" in waaaay too many PTRs.

OH NO! It's D! Everyone hide!

I think D just likes to follow me around.

I'm joining you
I'm already planning my friend and my trip to Walt Disney World for February 2013.

I'm looking forward to reading your pre-trip report and to hear what resorts you are looking in to.

ive stayed in a 90's room, and a 50's room... yeah it is very convient. loved the dances too. it was funny.. and ive heard they do night movies now by the pools.. so im looking forward to that too..

Movie Night!!! I can't wait to hear about it when you return from your trip.

It is never to early to start! On Sunday we are going on a cruise that has been 2 years in the making(non disney related) I sometimes wonder why I torture myself booking so early LOL I guess I need something to look forward to! but now that its here I'm so excited!!! have fun planning!

Welcome DisDiva,
I am so glad that I am not the only one who is crazy enough to start planning a trip so far in advance. I must admite that I started planning some things (such as ADR's) back when I was planning my trip with my DS this last May. I was going to wait to start a PTR after I was done with the TR for that trip but find that I am dragging my feet finishing it. I hope that starting this PTR will give me the boost I am looking for.

You better do more than sit around eating my food. I need your imput girl.

And be nice to D, we don't want to be scaring away my readers.

No, I have no clue what you mean.

Now be nice you two or no Christmas cookies for you. And since they are Mickey Mouse Snowman Sugar cookies I am sure you want a couple.

Welcome Terkina,

Yea another 2013 trip. I will be posting about my plan soon. Can't wait to hear what everybody thinks.

 

[Corrine 1973]

So here are our current plan thus far. Of cours everything is tenitive and not set in stone. It is still eight months until I can even book the hotel room . . . but it is never to early to start planning right.

This year we were very lucky to take advantage of the kids stay and play for free special. I am really hoping that I will be offered the same offer or possibly a free dinning plan for our planned dates. It will definatly make it easier to afford. Though I will not get overly hopeful just in case.

My eldest sons birthday is May 25th so the plan, as of right now, is to leave on Sunday May 26th and come home on Sunday June 2.

I would love to stay at a moderate or higher priced hotel but every time I look at the prices I can't seem to bring myself to shell out the money when I can spend my money on something else. So right now I am looking at two Resorts.

First is Pop Century of course.

Liam and I had a great time here last year and I would love to be able to take my DD there.

The other option would be the new Art of Animation.

Regular rooms should be available for our stay, but since we are going with another mom and DD it might be worth it cheaking out the family rooms. We will have to wait and see.

So these are our dates and Resort plans as of right now, I will share with you the ADR's I am looking at during our next post.

 

[Terkina]

Art of Animation Resort looks very nice. That is one of the resorts I'm looking at for our trip as well. The regular room should be open in February 2013. I'm guessing that the regular rooms at Art of Animation will sell out really fast so if I want that resort I will probably have to book as soon as my dates are ready for booking.

 

[JennMouse32]

i may be biased but i say the pop! lol

You are probably right. These rooms will probably go fast since they are the new thing. Best to be ready when they are available in August.

I figured as much. But the decision is not only mine and the themed rooms at AoI sound nice. I am waiting to see some pictures and better descptions of the Resort. Maybe some feedback from people who stay there. But Pop is always a great option as well and I already know all about it.

the art i right across the pond literally.. so you can always visit for yourself and stay there next time too

Thank you, it's about time that someone sticks up for me.

Now be nice you two or no Christmas cookies for you. And since they are Mickey Mouse Snowman Sugar cookies I am sure you want a couple.

Hmmmm... Do the Christmas cookies have mouse ears on them???

BTW She started it.

OK, first, I love the pictures - it looks soooo fun!!! I kind of have this urge to try out AoI at some point - but I am really waiting for some reviews on it... and some good Dis pictures. Maybe on our next trip - because we'd really love to go back after the Fantacy Land expansion is complete.

D~

 

[Corrine 1973]

So in other words it is the best of both worlds, because I can always take a trip across the pond and enjoy the other Resort. I am even more excieted now. If that is possible.

Thank you, it's about time that someone sticks up for me.

I'm there for you girl.

Hmmmm... Do the Christmas cookies have mouse ears on them???

Yep, I bought them last year (though I don't remember where). I had forgot all about them until yesterday when I had to bring cookies to Liam's cub scout party. It is an official Disney cookie cutter that is a snow man with Mickey Ears. All the cookies were eaten but I will happily make some more this week so I can take some more pictures. I have to leave some for santa anyway.

I would really like to see some pics and reviews as well, but everything I have read has been amazing. I would be perfectly happy with Pop though if things don't work out.

 

[JennMouse32]

exactly.. oh it is.. the generation gap bridge goes all the way across!! should see the shots i got of what was suppose to be the extension of the pop .... i would have loved that sooo much... they just have a wall up i expect till the art opens they will be like sister resorts..
