My DVC milestone - 2 trips planned

[Mickey'sApprentice]

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

The Cast Member at Member Services yesterday asked if I were a Bama or Auburn fan. He seemed keenly aware that as an Alabamian...I would be interested in football. I bet they've had a lot of last minute ressies for fans of both teams.

I just changed the name of my thread.

DVC milestone...sounded like DVC got its 500k member, or had more points for sell than ever...5 years of J. Lewis.

It definitely sounded much more monumental than Mickey'sApprentice having 2 reservations made for Walt Disney World at the same time. (Although, with our 100 point contract and love for Hilton Head...that is quite the milestone.)

This is an exciting day for us! We are now in the single digit dance for Animal Kingdom Lodge, and our co-travelers landed in Orlando last night!

We are traveling with a very good friend of mine from college and her family. They live in Alaska, and are spending Christmas with her family in Florida before going to Walt Disney World.

I will be booking my Dec 2010 trip in about 2 weeks, just waiting for the 11 month window. We haven't yet taken our March 2010 trip, so I will soon have two trips booked. And then a few months after that, I will be booking our Spring 2011 trip and I already have a short DCL Dream cruise booked for Nov 2011! I will be using our previously-purchased AP for the Dec 2010, Spring 2011, and Nov 2011 trips. After all of that, we will probably only be taking one trip per year. I'm going to have DVC withdrawl!!!

I feel awful if I leave after one trip without having the next trip reserved. Since joining DVC I've only done it once and hated the feeling as I left. Right now we've got 3 trips reserved, 2 at WDW and next Thanksgiving at HHI.

This is a first for me too..we just got back from WDW on 12/12, we have a Disney Cruise booked for 2/2011, are going to Disneyland in Feb, are in the planning stages for a trip to WDW this summer and I just booked a Thanksgiving trip back to SSR today!

I have a folder to keep all of my trips organized...having been a travel agent before I had kids I LOVE having mutliple trips to look forward to!

I feel awful if I leave after one trip without having the next trip reserved..

totally agree
everytime i leave, i whisper we'll be back soon, rather than good-bye.
that helps tide me over until the next trip .(tho i found even three months between trips seems like an eternity....)

I've been ending my emails to our travelling friends with...

See Ya Real Soon!

(That's from the sign off of the Mickey Mouse Club!)

I'm really excited about seeing our friends.

No. We have 4 trips booked. We have a 5 night DVC stay in March. A 3 night DVC stay in August followed by a 5 night DCL cruise. And we have an Alaskan cruise planned for 2011. We also know that we plan on a Dream cruise in 2012. I cannot imagine what it would be like not to have future plans even if one hasn't been completed yet. It gives us something to look forward to so even when one trip is done, there are still others to look forward to.

As of last Halloween we had three trips planned - Halloween, Spring Break and July 4th.

Seems normal to me and we feel lots better on the plane going home if we know were are coming back. There are over 100,000 other DVC families out there - you have to plan ahead expecially at key times of the year.

I think it's great to have two trips planned. We want to stay at a non-home resort so we have to wait for the 7 month window. Looking forward to the days after the children have moved out, we have retired, and my job can be to plan trips.

I feel like something is wrong when we don't have at least 2 trips booked - right now we have 4 booked so all's good!

I think it's awesome
My DBF & I are going in 23 days and he's treating me to 8 days @ the Poly

Then 5 weeks later were going back, staying @ Kidani and I'm walking the Princess Half Marathon

Then going back 12/10, and most likely staying @ SSR and walking the Orlando Half Marathon with friends.

 

[LindaBabe]

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

Yes, I agree. When I get home from January's trip, we won't have any planned nor, for the first time in a decade, will I have an open annual pass.
