I Cannot Stand Not Having a Reservation

[RweTHEREyet]

I am not even 2 full weeks back after having 8 full days at WDW. We do/did not have another trip planned. This has been absolutely driving me crazy. Does anyone understand that? It seems I feel that I must know when I am going again, whether it be next month or next year. Anyone else feel that way?

This last trip was one of the most fun, relxed trips ever with doing lots of things we had never done before, and I want more of that same thing.

Well, I have always wanted to go to the Food and Wine Festival, so I decided to call and check on some dates during that event, knowing I wanted to stay at BCV. My dates were available, so I booked it. Have I talked to hubby, nope, just decided to do it. Also decided to spend Fri and Sat at the AKL to save points, and that reservations is made also.

Guess I will tell hubby sometime this weekend, unless he reads this first. But then, his name here is YesDear, so I don't know that he will have much other than that to say about it. Of course, if he does have an opinion, everything I have booked is cancellable.

 

[DisneyHumbug]

Yes! I know exactly how you feel. To me, the only thing that makes me happy when I come home from WDW is booking another trip. Just booked next year's President's week, but I'm not sure I can last that long.

Oh boy do I ever know that feeling
I start making plans for the next trip on the way back home.
I have to have another trip in the works....!

 

[SleepyatDVC]

Guilty as charged here too!!

 

[Disney50]

Amen!!! We are new to the DVC and since we participated in MB we were saving all our points for Summer 2004 with extended family. I just could stand it and went ahead and made ressies for December. I felt much better because we actually had ressies and it was in the forseeable future.

No trip planned!!

I'm working on planning my next two trips...
I'm going in April.. (8 days)
I'm pricing a long weekend trip in Sept (AP's expire in Oct) Cash ressies, I'm out of points.. looking into the Swan or Dolphin.
And I am planning for next February.

Oh and the April after that I have a Disney Magic cruise booked.

Ok.. who said Disney wasn't addictive!!

Cindy in NY
Happily going to the world of magic and fun!

I can SO relate to this!

Just last night, I was telling my DH we were going to HAVE to make another reservation - this is KILLING me!!

We went on the Member Cruise in February, with a few days at WDW afterwards... It ate up so many points - we only have one night in May and three nights in December planned for the rest of the year! I just can't stand it!

I think I'm going to drive over tomorrow afternoon and just go to Olivia's and hang around the Hospitality House - I'll just PRETEND I'm staying there!!

DVC - it's a SICK disease!!

 

[SimplyMagical]

We agree - having a future trip planned is a must! We both work full-time, kids, activities, etc., etc., - need something to look forward to, as our lifes are so hectic! Can't wait for our April trip!

 

[RJCPA]

We were at OKW for New Year's and it feels like years ago!!!
Currently have no plans (YET) and am feeling kinda low about it.

I need some light at the end of the tunnel; maybe I need to start thinking about our next trip HOME!! Thanks for the push.

 

[Dancind]

Nothing to add. As you can see, we do have some trips booked. I just wanted to look at my countdown today! Diana

Been there, done that, have the T-shirt!

I may have it worse, trip planning begins on the flight home, but not for the next trip, but the one after that -- Disneyitis symptom.

What a perfect combination - DVC then AKL!

 

[RweTHEREyet]

well, actually doing it in just the reverse: AKL and then DVC. I had always been told that it was best to move up in accommodations.

 

[goofyforwdw]

gee I have no idea what you all are talking about. lol Have a trip planned for June (Wl 4 days) ,July HH 6 days- Oct not to sure but have 6 day at WL and Jan 7 days WL and if I don't get fired i WOULD LIKE TO PLAN SOME MORE

 

[RweTHEREyet]

If you get fired and need to look for another job, let me be the first to offer to take your trips for you.

 

[Pig Pen]

I couldn't wait and I'm already planning my Sept trip and I still need to go on my May trip!

I have ressies at BCV in Sept. - made them right at the 7 month window

We plan to scout out some resorts when we are there in May and decide where to stay our first three nights to save points in Sept. Leaning towards AKL. Maybe we can get the comeback rate if it's still in effect. Otherwise we'll try for a good AP rate.

Hopefully May AP rates will come out soon!

Thought you all might enjoy this. Don't know who to credit as the author, but it fits me sooooo well!

Disneyitis (Dis ney i' tis) n 1. Condition related to the uncontrollable desire to return to the World. Subjects with this condition are known to frequent note files, web pages, and newsgroups. Only known relief is a trip to Walt Disney World. There is no permanent cure....and no cure is being researched as those afflicted don't WANT one! Has also been known to infect Disneylanders. People who suffer from Disneyitis have also been known to spend an unusual amount of time at their local Disney Stores to temporarily relieve some of the symptoms associated with the disease. They will also tape, watch, re-watch, and re-re watch Disney videos, specials, parades, vacation planners, etc. Also will subscribe to Disney Magazine, and will read every brochure on Disney they can get their hands on. They will sport hats, coats, jackets, pants, and carry bags with Disney logos. Can't go more than one full year without going to the world without becoming suicidal, or worse, Homicidal! And no matter how many vacation days they take, they always seem to get ticked off at everything one or even two days before they have to leave the world and go back to the rat race.

First of all we drive to WDW every August. We spend the way home planning our next trip. I bring the points chart and the calander and we plan away the miles.

In addition to 8/03 trip, the 8/04 trip with my parents DB and SIL is planned, just waiting for the reservation window to book it! I also mentioned to DH that if we bank 2005 points and stay in his Uncle's Orlando house that summer, we could make two trips in 2006.....one w/o kids for our 10th anniversary!!!!! So right now I'm calculating the points for the next three years. Oh what a way to spend my time!!
