Usually in the spring, around April or May. You can get an idea of what they'll be based on this year's dates.

ok so lets do a question a day to keep this board active!!!

I will go first here is my question:
What is the one thing most people don't think to pack but you have found it very useful?

I take a couple ziplock bags so we can refill our mugs and then empty them out when we get to the parks and stick them in our bag so we can refill when we get off the bus and back at the resort.

Sounds good. I have never stayed on site before but I think the one thing that I found in a thread with this questions title is to bring an EXTENSION CORD! So I can charge my blackberry, my sons cell phone, use my laptop, and charge the camera batteries.

Hey guys! Jenny already knows this but I've changed my dates by one day! I am now leaving on September 29th! I moved my trip back one day and NOW I get free Quick Service dining for the entire length of my trip! I paid only $400 for that extra night AND upgraded the QS dining to the full free dining plan!

I feel a great weight lifted because seriously with 2 boys (they eat alot) food could have been expensive. Definately would have been more than $400 for 11 days!!

Sounds like you got a good deal!

Have free dining dates been released?!

Not for fall 2012 yet.

Disney World website has a Canadian only free dining deal that goes till September 29th. I never bothered about it since I wasn't going till it was ended. But by moving my arrival date back a day to the 29th they gave me the free dining plan for my whole trip!

Woohoo! Thanks!!!! I can't wait to celebrate ONE YEAR till the trip! We are going to do something special on the 29th of every month until the trip! I have like 25+ Disney movies so we're gonna watch one and have popcorn and maybe some Disney related surprises!

 

[jenny105]

Cute idea!

 

[TinyDancer]

390 days for me!
I am REALLY trying to keep this trip a surprise for my kids! They will be SOOO excited!

 

[archdandy]

We're getting closer and closer to the one year mark! I really like the idea of doing something special for the one year mark. I'm going to talk to my DH and see what he thinks. Maybe we'll make it a Disney movie night.

So DH and I have exactly one week and one year until our arrival day.

One thing we always bring: Booze. Haha, I know it sounds funny (or horrible depending on your view point) but it's much cheaper to sit on our patio drinking something we've made, then drinking something that comes from WDW. Although I do enjoy Pina Colavas so this time we may not bother bringing our own.

I reallllly hope Be Our Guest is open in time for all of us next year. I would love to eat here on my birthday night. Also, here's hoping it's 1 TS credit and not 2!

I love Disney movie nights!! They are the best! I'm sure we'll have one too, when the year mark rolls around....if he even wants to be near me that day!lol I have a feeling I'll be slightly excited!!
