yes, i realize that april 2008 is 10 months away. but do i care? nope!!! cause WE'RE GOING BACK TO DISNEY WORLD!!!!!!!!!! i'm so excited! :yay: :yay: :yay:

on to the waiting game.....10 months. :hourglass

any other april 2008 planners out there? we're going april 20th through 25th and staying at SSR. we're not DVC members (but a girl can dream...:cloud9: ), but we rented points from a wonderful fellow DISser/peep. now i just have to wait 116 days til i can do some hardcore planning (*if* they release park hours for april 2008 somewhere around october 1st) and 138 days til i can make our ADRs. in the meantime, you'll find me over on the TR board! :surfweb:

316 DAYS AND COUNTING, BABY!!!!!!!!! :woohoo: :dance3: :woohoo:
 
Have time to plan a perfect vacation at WDW.:goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes :thumbsup2
 
Hello! We met on my food thread, you showed me your glowtini ;) Hope they still have those next year....

Isn't it frustrating being this excited but it being too early to really plan anything solid?! I'm trying to keep a lid on things till Christmas so the kids don't go nuts. I'm planning on buying them luggage and putting the pin collections I've started for them, those disney cameras and maybe a Tshirt for each of them (POTC for DS1, Cars for DS2) and a calandar marked with the dates for our vacation that they can X off as it gets closer. Maybe a 'guess where we're going?' card in it. That'll make for a fun 'Xmas present' ;)

We'll be staying in the All Star Movies from April 29th to May 6th. We're hitting MK and Chef Mickeys night one and Epcot and Coral Reef night three. Thats all I've got planned so far ;) We will be doing the dining plan, park hopping, and pin trading. I'll be giving them disney gift cards to cut down on the 'can I have's? They'll be flying for the first time and I can't wait to see my train loving DS2s face when he see's the monorails at MCO :rotfl:

So spill, whatcha got planned so far? I'll be with you in October making my food ressies ;)
Oh and my grandparents used to live in Georgia, I actuall fell out of a peach tree once! They lived in Albany.

hello! :wave: glad to have some company!

your plan with the kids sounds like fun! i don't have any kids, but i think i'm still gonna make a countdown chart. all my friends (and DH) will think i've lost it, but i don't care!

albany is way further south than me, which explains the peach trees! i live about 45 minutes north of atlanta. and i don't understand why EVERYTHING in atlanta is named peachtree whatever. there are no peachtrees anywhere near atlanta! i'm originally from nashville, tennessee, though. i miss it! i'm happy here, but i do go back there to visit family a lot and it's a great place!

so here's what i would love for my itinerary to look like. i know this isn't gonna be it because we don't know park hours yet and that will change everything. and who knows what changes i'll make myself between now and then! as of right now, here it is:

saturday, april 19th - drive down to orlando from georgia and spend the night at a cheap hotel in orlando.

sunday, april 20th - wake up, drive to SSR and check in. after that, we'll go to AK that day (probably not a very long day - we can do AK in a few hours). after AK, we're gonna go check out AKL (which i wanted to do this last trip but didn't have time), then go to SSR for an afternoon break/nap. that night we'll go to epcot world showcase for dinner at le cellier somewhere around 7:30 and then illuminations.

monday, april 21st - MK all day! we'll probably be there for rope drop and eat lunch at liberty tree tavern, with dinner at somewhere like casey's or pecos bill's. and of course we'll stay for spectromagic/wishes that night.

tuesday, april 22nd - free (no park) day. i'm hoping this is how it will go. we'll sleep in, but i'll probably get up earlier than DH (cause i always do) and do a little DTD shopping by myself (DTD is walking distance from SSR). then when DH gets up we'll go to disney quest, have lunch at house of blues, then go play putt putt golf at fantasia gardens. after an afternoon break/nap, we'll have dinner at narcoosee's around 8:00 and see wishes, then go to PI after dinner.

wednesday, april 23rd - sleep in (after our night at PI), then go to MGM somewhere around 1:00. we'll walk to the boardwalk (a 15-minute walk from MGM) for dinner at spoodles around 5:30, then return to MGM and see fantasmic.

thursday, april 24th - another full day at MK. i think we're gonna have dinner at ohana's at the poly that night somewhere around 6:00 and return to MK for wishes/spectro magic.

friday, april 25th - check out and drive home......:sad1:

so that's it. and it's subject to (and most likely will) change over the next 10 months!!!

let me know your game plan when you have one. i'm gonna start a pre-TR, but not until at least september!
 

just thought i'd do a little dancin since my ticker now officially says less than 10 months!!!! :laughing:

I just signed up for this board today. I have been reading stuff here for about a week now and even though I have been to Disney every year for the past 5 years it seems as if there is still a lot I don't know. I find this format a little confusing so forgive me if I make any silly mistakes.

Anyway our family is going April 5th-the 12th. We are staying in an off property timeshare right outside of the Disney gates. This is our first time staying off property, so hubby is bummed about missing out on the extra hours, but we will save a ton of money using our family's time share. You can't beat a free two bedroom timeshare.

I thought I was the only one who was a crazy planner, but I'm glad to see I'm not alone:-) I have a tentative schedule, but can't wait for Disney to come out with the 2008 schedule. I want to make sure I get ADR's at all of the places I want this year.

NEVER did CRT, so this is a must this trip, my youngest will be six.
I want to try some new restaurants also. Boma and maybe Chefs de France.

I want to make sure my little one has a really magical time. For the past five years we went for Pop Warner cheer and everything was so rushed. Now we are going just for us. I want to make up for lost time and give her some special attention, since the focus was on her older sisters before. Thanx :)

OMG, that means if I had a ticker it would be about 10 months for us too! Coolness!

My youngests bday is the 22nd, which is why we're going to week after. I also like that we'll be in between the 2 months ;) I think it would be fun to go to disney w/o kids, and it must be nice to be in reasonable driving distance. I've been eyeing the airline fares and am hoping it at least dips below $200 for roundtrip ticks. Right now its hanging at about $230 and I've got it saved so they'll alert me when it drops. I flew there a few years ago for $130 round trip so it would be cool if I could get that again, but I'm not counting on it. A friend of mine landed 4 r/t ticks for $83!!!! Thats one part of my trip thats up in the air and at the mercy of the airline companies, I figure if the prices get too bad we can always drive, but I *really* don't want to. Plus the kids really are looking forward to their first flight so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the prices don't head for the clouds.
 
I am so excited! We just booked our first trip as DVC members! We are going April 19th-April 26th and staying at SSR!

We have never been in April before, anyone know how the crowd levels are and what the weather is like? Thanks!

:cool1:

we're gonna be at SSR april 20th through 25th. cool! :thumbsup2 we went the first week of may this year and it was so awesome.....the crowds were not bad at all and the weather was perfect. i only got hot once that i remember. we went to MK on a wednesday and didn't have to wait for hardly anything. the longest we waited in line the entire trip was 20 minutes! since easter is in late march next year, i'm thinking that late april won't be too bad and hopefully a lot like early may!
