NYE trip booked!

[bobbiwoz]

Or at least I've begun making reservations for next year's January stay which will be shorter.

BWV standard studio December 29 for 7 nights!

On line booking worked, I used current points and borrowed from 2 sub contracts. I did have to start over, since the first time I got an error message, but it said I would be able to book "momentarily!". I waited 5-6 minutes and began again.

I'll call later to request near elevators, since requesting that has worked for me most recently.

I hope all other NYE hopefuls are as lucky as I was!

Congrats, Bobbi!

We are also set for NYE with a 4 bedroom Presidential unit booked at Worldmark Indio. Snagging any of the Penthouse or Presidential units is a major gift -- especially for a partial week (4 nights, in our case), over a holiday!!! This unit will have two master bedrooms with their own jetted tubs and a huge wrap-around balcony with private hot tub. We'll need another standard 2BR unit for same dates but can easily book that later.

This resort is close enough to be a drive-to destination for my family (4 households, 10 persons) but far enough to create a "special retreat." The kids enjoy the resort's lazy river while the adults prefer the private hot tub on the deck. When we were there for NY 2011, we went to the Living Desert Zoo & Botanical Gardens on Jan 1. Very lovely!

Congrats Bobbi - I have a question for you and I am sure you will know - We are staying until Jan 3rd or 4th but my 20 yr old DD wants to stay beyond that to show her friend around WDW. When do the crowds typically die down compared to x-mas NY week? She is hoping to have 3 or 4 days of smaller crowds since her friends last time at WDW was 13 years ago!

Your suitcase isn't even unpacked and you are all ready to go for a reprise! Way to go, Bobbi!

In 2013, Marathon Week is a weekend later than this year, so my guess is that the weekend between New Years and the Marathon week, should be OK.

Have fun!! Are you going to DHS this year??

That is our plan! We want to see and hear DHS's fireworks!

so far, I've booked the first 8 nights of next year's stay,(some with the DGC!) and with my Sister and Cousin I will be on the MC in January. (just booked that today, i'm surprised myself, but my friends were game, so we're going!) There are still some holes in the plans. I will go back to Vero, but I'm planning a 3-4 week total stay, not the 6+ weeks I'm away this year.

The DVC stay is behind us, I'm visiting DS's family, and will visit friends here in Florida. My return to Ohio begins on Friday!

The Carnival cruise to exotic western Carribean we got off this morning was GREAT!
