OFFICIAL April 2012 DISers! 2 months and counting!

[DisMomAmy]

Where did you find April hours? I couldn't get them on WDW site.
I can make ADR's in like 2 weeks so I need to plan our days.

And when will they release Easter dining options? We would love to do a meal on Easter that's at a resort!

Sorry- I should have posted a link:

They changed the site recently so there are probably a lot of links around to the old site.

Thanks for the link! Now to plan our stay! And where to dine!!

Welcome to our world!

Oh THANK GOD!!!!!!

 

[HalloweenNut]

THANKS for the link!! Now I can start to seriously plan!

 

[momtwoboys]

YES! I love to plan now to make a loose schedule. We are there for 10 days, but the last day our flight is at 11:11 am so not really a day. Our arrival day we land at MCO at 9:34 am so that will be nice Planning on getting 7 day base tickets. Already added the Basic dining plan. We want to do:

2 days MK
2 days Epcot
2 days AK
1 day DHS

we do NOT hop! Usually plan our TS around the park where we are, or a resort nearby. Once we plan where we will be and where we have our adr for the day, we just go through the park as we please. I do not decide exactly which rides/shows at certain times. Of course we always ride Peter Pan first in the MK no matter what!

 

[Tropigal]

Ugh Just realized that when our 180 days away is here we will be out of town!

I will have our ipad with us so hopefully I can still log onto WDW site to secure some ADR's! I really need to start focusing on where we would like to eat!

Taking my baby sis for her H.S graduation gift so I want to make it super fun for her!!

Had to come and say hello!

My family and I... and by family I mean my parents and my 24 year old brother... will be heading to Walt Disney World in April! YAY!!!!!

We are all meeting there for one our our last family trips!

We are staying in a two bedroom villa at the Wilderness Lodge. We are going to be there April 21-28. I heard the crowds won't be bad at all. That's what I'm hoping for. It's been 10 years since I've gone!

Just wanted to stop and say hello as we count the days down!!!

Kris

We are currently headed to the World April 30-May 7, but I'm considering changing to either April 16-23 or April 23-30. Just not sure of the crowds.... Tail end of spring break and the crowd calender predictions are 5's and 6's. I've only been in January and 1st week of March, so I just don't know. Any words of wisdom? Thoughts?

Hello all..

Just found out my DD will be taking her Senior Trip at WDW April 20-24th.....it is some kind of Grad Night Package even though I didn't find it on Disney's Website. They are splitting their trip up between disney and universal but are staying the entire time at POR ....Heads up for all the teenagers LOL

We'll be at POFQ, I hope they don't overflow from POR to POFQ. We were there once when there was a dance competition going on and ended up with teenage girls sneaking cigarettes outside our room's ac intake. Not good when you have a dh with lung problems!

Completely Understand!!!! I am actually surprised they won't be stayng at a Value Resort. There was plenty of availability.

Hello!
We'll be joining you all!
I just booked our trip last night and today - for March 29-April 4th!

We'll be there for my oldest son's 5th birthday.... it's our first time to Disney with the kids (5yo, and 2yo twin boys, too).

I can NOT wait and have a feeling all I'll do the next 6mo is think about Disney!

So glad for these boards and all the other freaks like me

Congratulations Goldie! We will be there for a few of the days you are there as well.

Are you staying onsite?

Thanks!

Yes- I booked today at the All Star Music - got a family suite + extra room (for my mom and teenage niece who are coming to help... figured they'd want to be able to escape the kids, so I didn't go with the Villa i was considering).

It's my first time staying on site, as well as bringing the kids. I have been a bunch of time- as a child, with my nieces/nephews when they were young, and when I was in college at USF in Tampa we went a few times... My last visit was about 8yrs ago with my husband, which was his first time... this will be only his 2nd trip - and first with our kids - we are SO excited. 6 months will seem like forever to wait!

Very Cool - you should be able to start making Advanced Dinner Reservations (ADR's) on the 1st of October! Start Planning!

Our trip is finally coming together! DD16 finally found a friend who was available to go, so we added her to our reservation today (well, exchanged her from the first person we asked, who dropped out) and went through all the possible dining reservations to make sure she could find something she liked at each of them. They picked Teppan Edo, Kona Cafe and Plaza Restaurant for their meals on their own. (I'm kinda jealous, I wanted to go to Teppan Edo but my husband doesn't like that kind of restaurant AT ALL. I'm tempted to leave him on his own and go with the girls!)

I get to make my ADRs on Monday - I'm never going to be so excited to get up on a Monday morning as I will next week.

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Can I join in here? I am taking my girls for a very quick WDW trip in April to celebrate my daughter's 13th birthday. We will fly in late on April 23rd and depart early on the 27th. I'm hoping to stay at CBR but we may look into Pop for financial reasons. We'll see! I'm happy to be chatting with you all.

 

[momtwoboys]

to all April planners we can keep each other company while planning through the WINTER I am narrowing down our choices for our ADR's that I get to make on Oct 14th anyone else?
