Hi I"m Sandi. I don't know if this is the right place to post this or not, but I have several questions about planning a trip. I went to DisneyWorld several times when I was a kid, but the last time we went I was 16 (I'm now 25) and this will be the first time that I'm the planner. There's so much information and some many options that I'm getting overwhelmed!
1. We (dh, 4 y/o dd and myself) would like to go feb 5-9, 2007. I see people on here planning trips a year and more in advance. Is it even possible to plan a trip and get all the reservations in less than 4 months?
2. I would like to make the reservations for the Pop Century sometime this week. Do I have to order the tickets at the same time or can I order them later. The reason I ask is because we are planning to use some of our income tax return to pay for the trip and we usually get it Feb 1st or 2nd. Can we buy the tickets when we get there or do I need to buy them before then?
3. I've read that adr for Breakfast at Cinderella's Castle must be made 180 days in advance. We obviously missed the date, but is there any itsy bitsy chance we might still be able to get a reservation? We don't have to have priority seating (I'm not really sure I know what that is), but dd really wants to have breakfast there one morning.
4. We will be using my mom's credit card to reserve the room. DH and I just finished paying off some debts last year and did away with all our credit cards and I really don't want to get one again, even if it is just for this trip. With the reservation being made with her credit card and then us checking in with our names, will that be a problem? I didn't really word that right, but maybe someone knows what I'm trying to say.
Thats all I can think of right now. I know I'm probably going to have more questions in the next few days and weeks. If anybody can help me I would really appreciate it! Thanks.
