November '08 ~ What Do You Mean It's Over? Should we plan another???

[Dawn68PA]

Figment Fan 21 - Congrats on the longer stay! I think I read on the board that Disney will move your baggage for you if you do a split stay but I'd get confirmation. I could be talking out my .....well, and not know it.

Jo - Congrats on the spontaneous trip, you lucky dog you! We stayed as AMSu in '96. It may have been 12 years but we really liked it there. I have nothing but fond memories. The staff was very pleasant our room was clean and nice. No problems at all. We were in the Jazz building, not far from anything with a lovely parking lot view . We didn't care, we weren't in the room that much and enjoyed it when we were.

I forgot to say that we have stayed at All Star Music. We stayed here last June. We really like it a lot. They refurbished all the rooms too. The food court is small compared to Pop Century, but we still like it.

We like it so much, that we are staying here again in November!!

And one more question... Its only DBF and I and we are pretty good about packing only what we need but do you think it would be easy to just take our luggage from the MOD to AKV using Disney buses? I don't think it would be that big of a deal since its just us too.

Any help you guys can give me would be much appreciated!

I would think Disney can move your luggage for you. I would definitely check on that. The worse they can say is no.

Well, I have been busy.

Notice the new ticker............

THAT"S how I'm passing the time until the October/November trip... we leave in 23 sleeps for a last minute trip to the World.

Un-freakin-believable. Never thought I could throw a trip together so fast in my life time!

It was DH that on just Monday said to me that he needed a vacation, and that he wanted to go to WDW for a quick get away.

So we leave May 13, coming back on the 18th. No kids. Staying at ASMu- it was all I could get for relatively cheap.

Anyone stayed there before???

Jo

Jo, thats awesome! I am so jealous.

I need my November buddies!!!

DBF and I were just out to dinner and we were talking about our vacation. DBF (who is never really into the whole planning thing) asked "so exactly how long will we be there for?" So i told him and i made the little comment that we would only be there for 4 full days... Well guess what he said???.... How about we make it a week! I couldn't stop smiling the rest of dinner! So instead of Nov2-7 We would be there Oct 31 - Nov 7!!!!

So I have some questions... we would be doing a split stay... i've never done this before. We rented DVC points for our ressie at the AKV and from what i've seen so far with my 5 mins of research DVC points double for weekends and it would get kind of pricey. We were interested in a MOD resort... maybe CSR... what do you guys think??

Coronado is amazing. It's done up in what reminds me of Mexico. The colors, the landscaping, and the pool is HUGE.

The rooms are really nice. We stayed there in 2003 cause we got this ridiculous deal.


Another question is how does the ME work for a split stay? I know once i booked my flights i was supposed to let the women who rented me her DVC points from know so that she could set it up. So now do i just tell her my returning flights and give my arrival flight information to the MOD resort? Can i do that?

For ME, let the DVC owner know your arrival info. You can set up the return from your resort. All they need is 24 hour notice. When you make your own reservation for the second half. Tell travel that you only need to make arrangement for coming home.

And one more question... Its only DBF and I and we are pretty good about packing only what we need but do you think it would be easy to just take our luggage from the MOD to AKV using Disney buses? I don't think it would be that big of a deal since its just us too.

When I had a split stay ressie, I was told by WDW travel that luggage services would move my luggage for me in the morning of me checking out. Then when I checked in at the new resort, (3pmish) my luggage would be there. We no longer have a split ressie, so I can't confirm that it would happen that way. But I trust that info.

Any help you guys can give me would be much appreciated!

Thanks!!! I think you're right about the luggage situation which would be awesome!!

Also thanks Monymony!!! I think I am going to watch the four MOD virtual tours with DBF and let him make the decision. As far as the flights I think i'm going to figure that out once the time gets closer. It should be fine. Lots of people do split stays with no issues so i'm not worried... just more excited!!!

hello people! How is the planning going. No real planning going on here the past couple weeks. But DH did inform me he really does not wanna be in a car 12-14 hour, so I am hoping I get a good Ding rate from Southwest. I have never flown. Neither has my youngest DS. My other two children have gotten to fly is a small cessna plane (its a field trip they do in 4th grade...so DD just went in October). Dh has flow in an Army plane. When I informed the kids I was gonna try to get a good rate and us fly and it only take an hour as apposed to 12 hours my youngest got teary eyed and said he didn't wanna die on a plane... Not sure where he got that from. So I explained we would only be on the plane a couple hours and that planes are very safe so I think I have his calmed down about it. I never expected him to react like that
.

I know how you feel We flew for the first time last November to Denver. It was almost a 3 hour flight. The secret for us was a portable DVD player with 2 headphone jacks. The kids happily watched movies and didn't really get nervous. They did really well. Also, lots of snacks. Good luck finding a good rate.

We will be there!

WLV November 1-7

I'm thinking when he understands it will only be an our in the air, he will be fine. He (youngest DS) just always worries and thinks of the worst case scenerios... Not sure why, just has always been like that.

Isn't it great that time really is passing and now we get down to some serious planning!?!

I keep changing my mind about things but once I make those ADRs, I'm sticking to them!
Congrats on the test!
