I can't hardly wait to stay in ASMO for my Birthday on January 2010! I will have a party in ASMO!
Great weekend here---gorgeous weather so we spent both days playing in DD's swimming pool
Trip question--who is going to be celebrating a birthday during their Jan trip?
I thought it would be cool if we could make a list---might be fun to celebrate with some other dis'ers (especially for kiddo's birthdays!)
My Daughter, GenevaClaire, will turn 5--January 22, 2010--we'll be there from Tuesday to Sun or Tues to Tues (depending on the specials that come out, lol)
Ooooooo let me ask you January people a question (for those who have gone in the past)
Crowds?
Weather? Do you swim?
Any promotions usually available during this time?
Thinking (really dreaming, but who knows maybe?) of going Jan 15th...DD's 5th birthday and completion of my degree celebration?
Thanks, you too. It's not too bad. This morning was a little rocky, but nothing that a venti Mocha frap with a shot of caramel couldn't fix. Tonight my DH actually didn't log onto World of Warcraft and took the boys and I to a movie and then out to eat. The boys wanted to see Night at the Musuem instead of Terminator. DH and I already saw the Terminator movie, but I will never miss a chance to sit and watch Christian Bale. Then after the movie we went to Salt Grass Steakhouse. Even with sharing part of my 12 ounce steak with the boys, I still was able to bring some home. I always bring some home b/c it is too much to eat, but feel strange ordering off the kids menu. I just order it medium rare so when I heat it up it isn't over cooked. Then DH wanted something sweet, so we stopped by the grocery store. He wanted a couple of pints of Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream, and I got a pineapple, strawberries and two "personal" seedless watermelons. The watermelons are so cute!! A basketball is probably bigger than they are.
Not to rub it in, but
I AM UNDER 6 MONTHS UNTIL MY TRIP!!!

Woo Hoo for you both!!!!!Ok, so maybe I do mean to rub it in a little bit, but
I LEAVE FOR WDW IN 13 DAYS!!!!
I too was a January Snowbird and I can't bear to leave everyone!!Who knows, maybe I can squeeze out another Jan trip. That would be amazing!
We'll be celebrating my dh's 35th while we are there.Great weekend here---gorgeous weather so we spent both days playing in DD's swimming pool

We had an awesome evening last night! Just us, we grilled some burgers and porksteaks, sat at on the patio, us with Miller Lite and the boys with Root Beer in their personalized Disney glass mugs (frozen mugs of course!). It was a gorgeous evening then we came in and watched Harper's Island while the boys watched Disney channel in our room! Very relaxing!

We were there at the end of Jan 2009 and had medium to low crowds. It really depended on the park we were at. The obvious crowds are at EMH evenings, Fantasmic evenings and at the MK spectro parade and Wishes. Of course, if you are there and don't want to see the shows, that's a great time to catch the rides!Ooooooo let me ask you January people a question (for those who have gone in the past)

Where did you find a personalized disney mug? Is it etched?
It is etched glass and we got them somewhere in MK, I want to say somewhere in frontierland, but I don't remember exactly. There's also a place in Epcot (near Germany I think) that etches, but I'm not sure if they didn't have exactly what we wanted or if we just weren't ready to buy there...sorry I'm not alot of help!

Oh my gosh!!!!!!! I did it!!!!! I booked our air fare last night for our January trip!! I think I did pretty darn good too!! 8 of us going, flying straight through down and back AND I got to pick our seats.........$1700!! I couldn't believe it! It would've been less but I bought the trip insurance for the tickets. With my parents and in-laws going you just never know. Now if only they'd release those darnned 2010 prices!! I felt like such a stalker on Air Tran's website!Does anyone know how long after they post the new prices before they'd start advertising any deals for January? We'd love to book a special deal if they're going to have one, but I don't want to wait too long to book. ARGH....all this waiting is killing me!!! Is it January yet?!?!?

Congrats on booking your airfare!!
Last year the WDW rates came out in August, but the specials didn't come out until November. . . So we are probably in for a long wait. . .![]()
Having never gone before in January...how quickly do the resorts book up? We'd like to stay at ASMo, but if I wait until November to see if any specials come out...whats the likelyhood of the resort being booked?
