November 2009.... It's Here!!!!

[shebaxric]

I booked DH, MIL, FIL at the Saratoga Springs Resort for 11/23 to 11/27!!! Thanksgiving again at Disney! I hope that they have the parks decorated for the holidays. I heard that they won't have everything up by that time, but the last time I went at Thanksgiving (which was a few years ago) they were already decorated. I want the time to go by so quickly so I can just be there!!! My sister and her boyfriend are going this time, and this will be her first trip to WDW!!! I am sooo excited to show her a whole new world!!

I finallly got my trip booked through AAA. The wife wanted to go to DL, but I finally got her convinced to go back to WDW!!!

November 21st can't get here fast enough!!!!!!

 

[cltk78]

Add me to the list, please.

We're booked for Nov 29 - Dec 5 at AKL. We'll be celebrating DS#1's 5th birthday during our trip.

DH's bonus came in Friday's check, so yesterday we went to the Disney Store and bought 2 annual passes. We promptly came home and booked the Poly with the dining package for Nov. 7-14.....my birthday trip!!!

So add us to the list!

 

[dwsandy]

we will be there Nov.12-22 @ ASMo

Hi everybody,

After lurking, er, I mean, researching, for soooo many months, I am finally ready to become an active member of the disboards family. Why? Because we're going to WDW, baby!!!

DH (34), DD (8), me (35) and my folks (60s) will be road tripping from central NJ to (hopefully) our cabin at FW, 11/27-12/2. I've sent my price quote request off to AAA and hope to get the numbers within the next day or so.

Anyhoo, this will be DD's first trip to see Mickey and crew, and it is LONG OVERDUE. This kid has been a sucker for the mouse since day one (takes after her mother, she does!) and has already started her own little countdown clock. I can cry just thinking about it -- she is going to be blown away!!!

We chose the cabins after reading all the great info here on the boards, plus it makes sense -- our family is big into camping and cabining. Only problem is, it will be hard to go to just any ol' campground once we do it at WDW! KOA's just won't be the same! LOL

Well, thanks to you all for posting such valuable info and sharing your insights. It has made my trip planning go much more smoothly than it would have on my own. Hope to see some of you guys down there!!!

WOOOO HOOOOOOO!

I am considering Nov 21-28th at BC or WL but still trying to decide if I want to go during Thanksgiving this year or Spring Break next year. Are the Christmas decorations up during thanksgiving week and is it SUPER crowded?

I cannot believe how excited we all are about going and we are 7 months away. This trip eclipsed the Williamsburg trip that is planned in April and it's all my kids are talking about now.

I hope that the weather is great for the cruise portion because it will be a first for my wife and kids and it will be the test for future cruises.

We are staying at the Polynesian and that in itself is a treat. We always drool over the place when we went to O'Hana for the breakfasts in the past.

Well, it's a wonderful feeling that brings our family together each day when we chat about the sites and experiences that we will see when we finally get to WDW and the DCL.

WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! Please add us to the Nov, 2009 list!!!

There's been some drama involved, my sister and dad want us to go with them to Mexico for Dad and Stepmom's 30th anniversary. I want to go back to WDW. I made the FINAL decision today that we are going to WDW instead. It's MY hard-earned money, and I don't feel particularly safe going to Mexico right now, especially with DD. So there you have it, back to WDW!!! DD is THRILLED!

I haven't booked yet, but I have my vaca from work scheduled for the week
before Thanksgiving!!!! I'm hoping it'll be the perfect time to go! We have stayed at ASMo so far, but this time I think we might try for POFQ.

HAPPY DANCE!! Now just gotta book and pay for it!!

 

[disneydreamin247]

Welcome aboard! I don't blame you for not wanting to go to Mexico, especially instead of going to see the Mouse!

 

[Orangeandwild]

Just booked another trip...

Nov 26th-30th, so T-day dinner with Mickey and Minnie this year

 

[Shleedogg]

We'll be there too! I started planning the minute we got home from our January trip. DH thinks it's too early to start planning, but he's married to a crazy planner and Disney addict, so eventually he gave in. We our renting points to stay at AKV from 11/8-11/15. It will be our first time at a deluxe/DVC and I'm so excited!

It will also be DD's first trip where she'll actually interact a little, she was only 2 mos when we went in Jan. Even more exciting, my dad and his gf (hopefully fiance by the time we go) are coming and it will be my dad's first trip EVER! Lots and lots to plan so he doesn't miss any must-sees. Any suggestions on things he must do?

We're paying for CM breakfast for all of us and planning to do Sci-Fi. We'll make him hit the big rides, RNR, TOT, EE, KRR, Space Mtn, Splash, TT, Soarin', etc. I'm looking for shows and parades, etc. That's stuff DH and I never do. Also MVMCP? Is it worth it?

Nov 7-13
Pop Century

we went last year at Thanksgiving time, so hopefully this time of year is partially dead

 

[dgr1973]

We are planning to go Nov 1 - 7th!! This will be our 2nd trip and I am so excited. We haven't booked anything yet still looking for the best deals, but we will most likely be staying offsite.

 

[Tinkmom75]

My DH thinks it's too early too. I just plan with my Dsis so we don't drive our DH's crazy. I can't wait It's getting closer...

 

[Missytara]

It is never too early to start the countdown. November 28through December 5th here. Same week each year.

Staying at POR and am taking two friends with me this year - usually go by myself. The friends are a bartender and a server where I eat all the time; I am paying for most of it, so they are thrilled to get the opportunity to go. I will get to share the experience, they will each have someone to ride some of the scarier rides that I don't like, etc. We started counting down New Year's Eve!

 

[dato63]

Count us in. 11/14 - 11/21st at Fort Wilderness. . .in the cabins. I'm so excited I'm going to burst before long. OCD planning in high gear.

 

[tink519]

Add me to the list! I've been lurking on here for a bit as well but just booked the trip yesterday so it's official! We are at SSR Nov. 21 to 27. Really hoping there are lights up, I thought Osborne would be going for Thanksgiving night but now I see it might not start until the 30th.

Also trying to figure out plans for Thanksgiving, I'm going to call Disney Dining but does anyone know if we book holiday 180 days or 90 days out? I've read conflicting info.

Can't wait...now I just need to figure out a way to get myself a ticker!

Jen

We check in to Pop Century on Nov 29 check out Dec 5

Your right it is NEVER too early to countdown. I love the planning & I think I am more excited than the kids.

DH & I are going the last week in November (11/27 to 12/4). We were originally going in October but decided to go later. We just found a deal through the Air Force Vacation Club - $299 for 7 nights.

So we are going to book the Celebration World Resort this Friday and it works out to be cheaper than staying at the resorts with a military discount. We know we will have to pay parking, but even with that and paying a pet fee we are still coming out alot cheaper.

Can't wait to go. Now just have to wait for the park hours to get out.
