***October 2012 Thread*** MNSSHP + Food & Wine - Does It Get Any Better?

[Kathymford]

So I've annoyed my co-workers enough for today, so I thought I would share with my DISers! My countdown has a 3. OMG. 39 days to go for my VERY FIRST TRIP EVER.

Thank you. You may carry on with your day.

Can't wait until we go back to Disney...October 20th till the 28th I've been planning this trip since we got back last October..can't help it. We will be staying at the Poly again I just love it there!!

So it's almost like a first visit for you! I think 15+ years is automatic reset for a first visit.

lol Yeah my oldest son is turning 15 a week after our trip! The last time I was in Disney *I* was 15!!!! Crazy! I will be almost 33 when we go so it will have been about 17 years since my last WDW visit!

 

[HeatherLassell]

Congrats! Thats so exciting!

OOOH I like that banana! I'm so excited!! I'm excited that there are so many other people planning their trips for the same time so I have other people to be excited with! My kids are like thinking I'm crazy already cause any free moment I'm researching Disney!!!

You can book it and apply a discount later

I VERY much agree, bu DH wants to know he's getting a discount before we book... He's just his own unique person in that sense... Here's hoping!!

Our family will be at the Poly the same dates as yours. It looks to be a beautiful resort!

See my kids don't seem to completely understand how amazing it is just yet. I've shown them the Disney planning video and YouTube videos of rides (And Push the garbage can who I love! lol) but since they've never been there it's hard to imagine it I guess.

I can't wait to show it to them!!!!

Ack! So I was all set for the wait to go to Disney next October and then I realized that the free dining is not being offered next fall and the cut off date for free dining was March 29th! I swear I thought I saw somewhere that free dining was going to be available until the end of October 2012. So then I start thinking well it would save us a good chunk of change if we go in March instead because of the free dining (it would save us approx. $600). It would mean a lot less time to save up money for our trip though which means we would probably only be doing 5 nights instead of the 10 I wanted to do. And now I'm flip flopping between when to go because there are pros and cons to both times. In October we would get to go to MNSSHP and Food & Wine plus we would get to go to Universals Halloween stuff which I've been looking forward to. And as an added bonus it would be my hubbys birthday. BUT March is much closer and it would mean I wouldnt have to wait as long for Disney and I am known for not being patient Ugh! I dont know what to do! I have until the end of October 2011 to decide because thats when you have to book your trip with free dining by. HELP!

Just because it's not offered now doesn't mean it won't be offered at all. It was extended to include October this year and I believe it was last year as well. You could always book for next October and wait for the promotions to become available for next fall. You may even get a pin code for it in the meantime. A 10 night trip is much better than a 5 night trip, IMO!

I'm thinking of buying the Unofficial Guide to WDW for 2012 just so I can get a free year on touringplans.com. I've never used it before and I'm sure it'll help me with my planning. I want this to be the best trip yet!
