Having a GRAND time - the NEW Official GF Chat Thread PART 3

I'm really OK with my choice. AKL isn't worth $2000

I am still hoping an AP rate will come out later that is at the same price point so I can drop those tickets (That was almost $150 right there ).

I can't wait to see what Kel got Chan!

ME TOO!!!!!

If she comes on here and tells me she is staying at the Pop I will pass out!

...it ain't gonna happen.....

I just know that RPC was open around my trip, so I wonder if she decided to book the week after me...

OMG!!!! THat is AWESOME!!!!! But this morning when Siobhan checked it wasn't open for my dates.........OH YA, it was!!!!! I think.....not March.....

I am on pins and needles!

Kristin! So...what exactly is the deal???? Was that RPC the 7 for 4 nights??? Did kelly get thru?!?!?!!?!?!? THAT is INCREDIBLE rate for 7 nights for RPC!!!

I am anxiously awaiting news!!!

Chan

That was the RPC for 7 nights price with the deal.

Kel did get through- she just emailed me my confirm for Pop

I took Pop. It is $1320 for 7 nights with DxDDP, 1 day passes for each of us at Pop in a standard room. It saved us $267 even with buying the passes that we don't need. I am pretty happy right now!! I didn't think we would get anything in June. (Kel actually has me booked longer until I get airfare worked out... $1765 for 9 nights... but I am pretty sure I will drop down to 7 nights once SW releases fares.)

I am still hopeful for an AP rate of $69 per night or less (this rate is about $67 per night) so I can get rid of the park tickets. That was $150 unnecessary dollars. I will just hang onto to them until whenever and put them towards another AP or ticket upgrade, I guess.

Kel got me RPC for JUNE!!!!! The 20th - 27th! (now I have to work on DH.....he is Disneyed out....then again...LOL...lu and jo and i have more fun w/out crabby baggage.)

We had to buy the tickets, also. But...my family has APs...mine expires in March..but they have theirs....it was still a good deal...i know with the bounce back it was like...$4300 for the week.

Only gv was available in March.....not sure....we might either go to Disneyland or AZ for spring break instead since I will be at WDW in feb.

Congrats Kristiin and Chan on your good deals. I can't believe this. I just checked on line and RPC is available for my dates in May. Just e-mailed Kelly to see if she can get it for me. She must have had a very busy day.

I just told DH about the RPC cost in June and for a split second he considered it!! (In lieu of going in December 2009 for my bday) I told him thanks, but no thanks- I am not giving up 2 trips for 1!!! Even if it is RPC

 

[traci]

I just heard about the deal! How crazy is Disney in May (Early May)?? We have only been in Sept/Oct and with the exception of the crazy crowds this month is ususlly a little slower...

I need me some RPC!!!

Where is Kelly??? I need her!!

Yes! I know she was really REALLY busy when I was online with her.

LOL...just be careful....once you stay there you won't ever want Pop!

Ok gals...with all this talk about this great deal (we did the FairyTale deal in 2003 that was pay for 4 get 7).........I talked to Kelly this morning and told her I will change my July dates to June for a great deal . And Chan.....wouldn't you know......one of the weeks I gave Kelly to check was June 19-26 .

I would go for the 2 trips too.. I just couldn't pass up a chance for a whole week in RPC. Then I'll hope for a great bounce back rate for December.

The end of April and the beginning of May is my favorite time to go. It is warm, but not hot and the crowds are moderate. The big spring break crowds are gone, but the parks are still open later. Go for it.

 

[traci]

okay you GF freaks!! I just emailed my travel lady!

I am having her check April 26 - May 3...do you think the weather will be comfy enough for shorts? I cannot do Disney in the cold. The last trip was a little chilly for my blood!

 

[vbarry]

Traci- You should have beautiful weather. The last time we went in May it was hot.

I know what you mean about being chilly. I hope it is warm in December because I am not much on being chilly on vacation.

When we've been in early May it's been in the upper 70s and 80s...in mid May we've had low to mid 90s!!! But very little humidity....clear blue skies and gentle breezes.......I LOVE THAT PLACE!!!!!!

OMG...am I talking myself into a May trip?

Chan

Chan

NOTHING YET .....I haven't heard back yet . I gave her 2 weeks to check.......6/19-6/26 and 6/26-7/3 (without even knowing if this week would work since the deal ends the 27th )......but I just realized this evening that the latter one won't work for us because we already have plans for July 4th weekend.......and I'm not coming home from vacation to be faced with a LONG BUSY weekend .......so it's going to be the week before......and that's when you're there .
