I am ready for May 31st to get here. I need to see a trip again in MDE. We normally go in September but decided to try something new this time around. A little nervous about crowds since we normally go during a lower crowd season. Excited to see Flower and Garden though for the first time.

Over the years my family has consistently gone in March and the crowds were pretty good with fair weather. With Easter and Spring Break being a little early next year, I figured I'd give it a shot with April. I'm a little concerned about the crowd levels myself to be honest.

Yay!!!

Going to Disneyland for the very first time April 16-26!

Not sure where we are staying yet — will post once I know.

I'm glad you both snagged reservations! I'm going to book ours tomorrow morning but unfortunately, we have to switch to May due to work schedules. Happy planning everyone

BCV - studio - 4/7/24-4/12/24

This is the first time we have ever rented points to stay at a DVC resort. We've stayed at both BCV and OKW before, but it was a cash reservation through Disney. I just hope that they have finished refurbishing all the rooms at BCV.

 

[hsmamainva]

Moved our trip to Disneyland up a week! Now April 9-19.

Waiting for 2024 packages to be released before we decide on a hotel.

 

[Mrs Grumpy]

List updated! Welcome everyone!

 

[Beachmom0317]

We're staying at Beach Club for the first time 4/20-4/27! Can't wait!

 

[momtwoboys]

thinking April 21-27, not sure yet on which resort. Possibly ASMovies. I should just book to have something set. Trying to decide if we renew our AP's which expire this fall. for the last 4 years we have been doing a short 2-4 night stay first week of nov and also our annual April longer trip so they were useful to have. We may NOT be going this fall so in that case the tix would lapse and we would just buy new next april. UGH makes me so sad.

 

[momtwoboys]

All booked! April 21-27 Asmovies , hoping for discounts!!!!!

 

[jtw3549]

Booked! April 20-28 All Star Movies. Also hoping for discounts!

 

[Beachmom0317]

Booked! April 20-28 All Star Movies. Also hoping for discounts!

We stayed there for one night last month and loved it! It was our first time. I actually found the resort super peaceful.
