January 20111...let's start planning

[Kazooie01]

Hey guys, hope everyone’s well, we haven't been on in a while. We just got our dates for our 5th annual January Trip. We were able to get a room at the Wilderness Lodge Villas through RCI for 1/16-1/23/11. We're pretty excited to stay there since we're a value or mod resort kind of family . I'm sure we can adjust!!!

Hello! We are planning on heading to the world Jan 12-18. I'm a little scared that maybe we should skip MLK weekend and head out Jan 10 instead? I managed to score breakfast at CRT on Jan 13 so I now must plan this trip around that ressie!
Have NO idea where we are staying. DD wants CBR, we both would like AKL, POP seems fine, might head back to POFQ. (The only way I'm pulling off AKL is if there is a phenomenal deal available.)
Plan on getting DDP, but might go ahead with QSDP since I've already paid for the one ressie I HAD to get. Not sure she and I will want all that food on the DDP, but just in case I'm making my ADR's now as they are cancellable. So far we also have Chef Mickey's and Sanaa.
Excited!!!

I have been beyond busy & I haven't posted in months & I want to do a shameless ticker check!! Plus, I can't remember if I changed our ticker to say Beach Club....had been planning on Poly originally......

We just changed our Jan. trip from AKV to VWL. We have never stayed a Wilderness Lodge before so we are super excited. Of course any trip to WDW is exciting. Need to start checking on flights from Ohio.

We are going the same time from Philly!! I'm so excited We are staying at Pop this time because our baby is still free and we are taking a family cruise August 2011. Next time I really want to try Beach Club!! Happy planning!!

I still haven't booked anything yet. Airfare prices are still too high. Last year I booked my flight in August so I'm hoping they have deals again this year. I can't believe how excited I am for this trip!!! I need a vacation soooo bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's pretty good! What airline?

 

[GrammyJudy]

Jet Blue...we love them. No charge for 1 checked bag, snacks free and movie screen on the back of the seats and they are almost always on time.

We'll be at Wilderness Lodge Villas from 1/13 to 1/16. Wish we could stay longer, but we have an early flight in on the 13th and a very late flight out on the 16th. I turn 40 on 1/14 and my wish was to wake up in Disney Hubby, seven year old son, and I are now trying to figure out which character meals to do. Any suggestions? Breakfast at Crystal Palace is fun, as is Chef mickey's, but son wants to see Peter Pan characters. I love planning = it's half the fun!

Played on the disney website earlier and was able to price out some full-price packages
What do I do now? Put the requisite $200 down as to reserve my spot, and hope for a better deal that I can change to later, or just WAIT.... and wait some more....

I have gotten ADR's for the entire week, just in case the 4/3 deal becomes a reality:
CRT
Chef Mickey's
Tusker House
Cape May
Teppan Edo
Whispering Canyon Cafe

We have agreed upon Caribbean Beach. (However, my wallet seems to like Pop Century a little bit better.)

 

[CrystalCastle]

With the new deals being released, I finally booked my hotel! 8 nights at ASMu for $594. Now all I need is a good deal on airfare and I'll be ready to go!!!!
