My DVC milestone - 2 trips planned

[Mickey'sApprentice]

I'm making reservations today for a trip to WDW in July, and haven't taken my trip to WDW in January yet.

So...do you guys think it feels kind of weird to make new reservations for a trip before you take your planned trip?

 

[Disneycouple99]

Not at all. I will have 2 more trips booked before I take my first one.

You'll get used to it.

actually, i thought that was normal. weird to us would be having less than 2 trips planned at any given time

 

[Mickey'sApprentice]

Actually, I'm a little surprised we've avoided it this long.

Keep in mind...we have had WDW and Hilton Head scheduled at the same time, just not 2 trips to WDW.



January will be our 1st trip to AKV.

July will be Beach Club and maybe? Wilderness Lodge.

By next year...I will have to return to my beloved Boardwalk Villas.

(One day...I will save enough points to get a 1 bedroom at BLT!)

No, on the contrary, what would feel wierd is if I did NOT have another trip scheduled by the time I'm on a current one.

I agree with the majority of those already on this thread...to not have 1 or 2 additional trips 'in the barrel' would be weird for me. As of right now, I have planned an booked 2 trips for us in 2010 and 2 trips for 2011.

That's what makes getting up and going to work everyday worth it...

Right now, we have 5 (but one is just a single night pre-cruise) DVC trips booked for 2010. We still have 2 more to book, one for a December weekend for our pre-Christmas trip, and the last for NYE week trip!

Not at all. We have two WDW and one HHI trip currently booked. Unfortunately we don't have tons of points, but are borrowing b/c we have APs this year and want to get the most out of them. This is also our year to go to HHI since we only have 50 HHI pts, so we have to bank and borrow every three years to book at 11m out there.
Sadly after this year we have to take a little break for our points to replenish.

No, not at all!

I do it all the time. It's great!

We go twice a year (March and Aug). Since I'm booking 11 mths in advance, I book our Aug trip before we go in March and book our next year's March trip before we go in our Aug trip! I love it. It keeps the vacation flow going. I am in contant planning mode!

I always notice that a lot of people have more than one trip countdown in their signatures (mine included). So, it's not unusual at all.

Not at all. We have 3 booked, and looking at 2 more - just waiting on the 11 month window right now...

Think that is weird, we went to Vero Beach last summer and are going again this year and haven't actually stayed at WDW since June 2008 and may not be going to the world again until 2011!

Booked our Dec trip last Nov before our March trip.

Booked our Oct 2010 trip while at OKW 2 weeks ago.

Isn't that what we are suppose to do?????

If you think that's weird...

We will be the only Alabamians at Disney World instead of Disneyland during the 1st week of January.

Here's to the ESPN club!

ROLL TIDE!

Can anybody explain the views at the Beach Club Villas for me?

 

[d-r]

with 11 month windows we do it all the time. We have the next three booked now.

there aren't different view categories at beach club villas. Some rooms look out over the quiet pool. Some look towards the beach club. Some look towards the "woods" between the beach club and epcot - the road that goes around the circle between beach club and boardwalk is out there also. Some of the higher ones can see some of the future world buildings in epcot, some can see some of illuminations, some more than others. BCV is a pretty small resort. The quiet pool is on one side of the building, the other side is towards epcot / "the woods" (it isn't really woods, but that is the impression). There is a bit of "lawn" on the epcot side, and some view that and a concrete egg shape that I can only figure is a place for toddlers to race on.

I wonder if any Bama fans will be at the VGC? Roll Tide!!

Congratulations on making your second reservation. I think that only newbies like us are amazed by this DVC standard of making more reservations before you take a trip. We joined the DVC in May and now have two reservations pending for 2010. And looks like we will continue to have two reservations pending for years to come.
