POROct2013 said:Hi Everyone,
We are going to WDW for the first time EVER from Oct 23 - 29, 2013. Our twin DDs will be turning 7 years old while we are there! We haven't told them yet and we don't plan to until a week before we leave.
We are staying at the POR in a Royal Guest Room and we have a 6-day park pass with park hopper.
I am SO excited!! Overwhelmed a bit but very excited!!

This will be our first time ever going (2 adults and 3 kids ages 2, 4 & 5). We are looking at Art of Animation studio. If we book now and some great discount opens, is there anyway to still benefit?

We also have a Facebook group that is fairly active if anyone wants to join up!
Right now we are planning on 8 nights at Bonnet Creek, with 5 Disney park days, one off day/MNSSHP night, and one day at Universal/IOA to finally see WWoHP! All we really know right now is that we will be there towards the end of the month, somewhere between the 16th and the 30th. We are kind of waiting for Southwest to open their flight schedule through then so that we can go for the cheaper fares, even if it means scheduling our trip mid-week through mid-week instead of weekend to weekend like we usually do! It will be our 3rd trip in October (DS's 2nd), and last year we spent his 2nd birthday in MK! I'm hoping our dates will work out to do the same again for his 3rd birthday. 
Decided to try offsitenever done that before at WDW, but really excited to try Wyndham Bonnet Creek. After checking around, finding that we can stay in a 2BR for the same cost as a studio is too hard to pass up!!!!

My name is Sheila and I just applied to join the October FB Group. Have not booked yet but planning on Going October 20-27 and hopeing for a discount!
We will be back to the World this October. Our dates are either going to be Oct 18-27 (if we fly) or Oct 19-26 (if we drive), and we will be staying at POP. Haven't booked yet, but probably will soon. Hoping to snag free dining again this year, but we will go regardless. Hoping for warmer weather this year. Our Oct./Nov. trip way too cold last year! Need some warmth this time!
