Newbie from NY

Hi! I am a newbie to the board. After about a month of lurking I finally joined. DH and I are planning our second trip to WDW in December with our two DD's who will be 21 and 17 (graduating college and HS next year) and our DS who will be 6 at the time! Last time we went our girls were 4 and 8 if you can believe that!

After staying off site (way off site) last time this time we plan on staying on site. We are doing a week just at Disney and plan on going back again in a year or two to do Universal when DS is a little older. Very excited!

What fun!

Do you have any idea where you'll be staying?

As a family of 5, you know your options are limited. If you can swing Deluxe, we adore the Poly and can't wait to try the Beach Club next year.

Oh, and hit the Jetblue site TODAY. They sent me an email today with some $89 rates from JFK-- I'm not sure of the dates--- they may expire before your trip. ETA-- I just checked; the fares end in early October-sorry!

Thanks everyone!

@Aliceacc - Not sure where we are staying yet! Thinking of two rooms at All Star Movies, Family Suite at ASM, or possibly cabin at FW. Have to nail DH down on a decision this weekend! Was able to call Disney CS yesterday and found out I have a pin code but newbie that I am forgot to ask how much it was for (but did find out it is valid through Dec 22). Now I have to call back and find out what it is good for. Mean time we can always pray for free DDP!

As far as flights we have enough points on DH's CC to fly for freeeeeee!!!! Yippeee!! Hoping for a good deal on that when we book.

Just on the off chance that it applies:

The Swan and Dolphin offer some phenomenal deals for teachers, nurses, and a few other occupations. If you're considering 2 rooms anyway, it might be worth a look.

Thanks Alice but I don't think they would apply. DH is self employed and I am in banking. My company actually has an office in the Orlando area and we have been lamenting why we don't get some sort of discount at Disney through the company since we do for parks around the Pittsburgh and NYC areas (where we also have offices). I suppose the Company feels that the Orlando staff gets the Florida residents discount and the rest of the staff can just suck it up lol.
