Wow lots of new November travelers to join the list!!

 

[Tootles]

Hope everyone has a FABULOUS time in November! We too were planning a trip for that month, but thanks to the blessing of a wonderful, permanent full time job offer for me, we've had to put our trip on hold for a year. I won't feel bad asking for holiday time once I've been there a year. As disappointed as I am with regards to not being able to go back sooner, on the plus side, I'll have a lot more money to spend and enjoy at Disney!!! Longer trip this time and hopefully staying deluxe this trip will make the wait worth it. We like to go the week following Thanksgiving, so anyone going that time period this year, I'll be anxious to read any trip reports (crowd levels, weather etc). Pixie dust to all~have a magical time!

Congrats on the new job! And don't worry, Disney will be there next year waiting for you!!!

Thanks! I haven't worked in many years (did the stay-at-home Mom thing). With the economy the way it is, and my DH's job not being very secure anymore, felt it was time to look for a job for myself. My kids are DS10 and DS8 now, so timing is pretty good. I am thinking 15 months is a LONG time to have to wait to return to Disney, so until then, I'll keep reading the DIS and planning, planning, planning!!! I've opened a new bank account just for my Disney trip. I plan on saving some of my paycheck every month so the trip won't feel like as much of a financial burden. Thanks again for all the kind words and congratulations! Enjoy your trip!

We arrive 10/30 and depart 11/6...I am not sure where we belong...it's like being the adolescent at Thanksgiving who is too young for the adults table and too big for the kids table. October thread vs. November thread??
25 person Grand Gathering staying at CBR, attending MNSSHP on Halloween, taking over 'Ohana for dinner on 10/31!!
ADRs are made, and the lists have begun...I am just wondering if it is too early to start packing.

Anyway, 72 days and counting!!

We are getting so close to November for our first trip to disney! We are staying at the Coronado and was wondering if this is a great resort or should I change to a different moderate? I am super excited for the free dining plan=)

 

[mchelle77]

I've heard there are good things about EVERY Disney resort. I know there are more restaurants at CS, but that it's where a lot of business folk stay (because of the convention center). We were planning on staying at a moderate but bumped it down to a value so we could possibly stay a day or two longer The most positive reponses, though, have been about the CBR ... something about the sand just gets people cuckoo, I guess!

 

[DisneysRedhead]

You can add me to the list! November 9-15 at POR!

We've stayed at CBR, POFQ, and CSR and are headed to POR in November! And so far our favorite has been CBR. Love the spacious beautiful grounds, the hammocks on the white sand beaches, and the relaxing tropical feel. Not to mention the excellent bus service and the fantastic new pools!

We liked POFQ too, but prefer a larger more spread out resort. We were not impressed with CSR, but lots of people like it. Too us it felt more geared towards adults & conventioneers. But if it was your first choice there must be something that you were drawn to and I'm sure it will be fine. Our first instinct when choosing between the moderates was CBR and we love it!

We are super excited about Free Dining too! Congrats on your first Disney trip!

So our weekend Birthday trip turned into 5 days and then into 6 and now we are leaving on Saturday the 14th and coming home on Sunday the 22nd!

So many people want to come with us but no one will make up their mind so I gave them yesterday as a deadline and well no one stepped up so it's just my DD and me. I Can't Wait!!!

Anyone else doing the single parent thing with a daughter around 9-10 going the same time that may want to meet up for some pool time or something? I think we have 3 days not at the parks!
