[dsnygrl21]

Updated everyone! You should all be a part of the first post. If there are any mistakes, please let me know.

I can't believe that I have to wait so many more months for this!! After taking our trip just last month, we are considering buy a DVC membership. It would be our christmas gift to one another if we do it.

I think it is worth it and then we can upgrade our hotel to BLT!

You will LOVE POR! It's sooo beautiful and romantic! Some of our dates overlap-- we'll be there the 23 or 24th until the 30th or 31st! We had free dining last year and absolutely loved it!

Just broke the surprise to the kids. Forgot to add ASM!

This will be our first free dining trip and I can't wait. We are DVC so we haven't stayed at POR since 2007. Our kids love it there and so do we! Since we are saving a ton of money by getting the dining for free we added 7 day hoppers with WPF&M non expiring!!! Our kids are super excited to visit Blizzard Beach!

So I am one of those resort changers....Sorry to our moderator she has to keep updating me, LOL. I couldn't resist. First I had to change because we had one too many for the Poly. Now thanks to some pixie dust (and a discount)

2 Rooms at Grand Floridian Outer building theme park view.
Not Club level but I AM SOOOOOOOO EXCITED, I did bust the budget by splurging on Deluxe DP

Aug 22-28th still

So jealous! Sounds like it'll be an amazing trip!

We have decide to go as a family instead of 2 separate trips. Staying at Riverside and doing free dining for the first time. Its a better deal then what we getting thru the military.

 

[tyandskyesmom]

We'll be at All-Star Movies from August 13 - 19, 2011 for me and the kids and then DH is joining us and we move to Caribbean Beach fro August 19 - 28, 2011 with upgrade from free dining to deluxe dining!!!!!

Counting down already!!!!!!

 

[justakrazymom]

add us! Aug 19-29 at Pop Century.. by then it will be almost 11 years between trips and the first time for 3 outta my 4 kids.. we are traveling with 2 sets of friends and their 8 kids between them! We are not telling our 3 youngest until we drive thru the gates!!!

Finally going back on Aug. 19-27th! I am always wanting to go back but I was being responsible by planning for 2013. But this time DH kept reminding me about the free dining plan until I finally booked. We paid for the DP the first time and the second we just did our own thing. I guess he really missed the food.

We are going to stay moderate for the first time too! Just wait till my girls get a load of the pool at Port Orleans Riverside!

We were going to visit my DS in Arizonia and hop over to Disneyland but it would have been way too expensive, just the plane fare from MI to AZ is twice what we pay to MCO. I hope she doesn't mind too much!

Last time we went we had horrible adoption problems that happened before and during our trip that put a black cloud over everything. This time everything is ironed out and we know what we like and want to do. It will be the best trip ever!

 

[schmoopypoo]

Count me in! We'll be there August 25-31, staying at Bay Lake Tower

 

[nu2wdisneyw]

Include ME....Include ME!!!!!

We will be staying at POP August 20-27!!! WOO HOOO!!!! SOOOOOO excited! Starting my Planning Binder in January!

 

[katieam1]

My parents are coming with us so we booked two studio lake views for August 14-20 at BLT. So excited. Just decided this week!!

Hi gang,

Count us in!!!! Our dates are not confirmed yet, but we will be there for ds first birthday and ds 11 birthday, a little early ( oct ) . Ds first birthday is aug 20, so we are looking at aug 15 -25, staying at Cbr. We are bringing my mom and aunt, dw's parents her brother and his wife and 2 kids plus 4 friends that always go with us to Wdw and 2 more of their kids. This is not the first time we traveled with a big party. In 2007, there where 4 generations of the "mr. FDNY" clan there which = 19 adults and 8 kids. Including our 84 year old great grandma, who btw had a better time than most of the kids.

Although i was terrified of the big group and our plans, we all met up in the day for 1 meal and then did our own thing in the parks, we had a blast! Then we would all meet up at the resort pool at cbr at night. See you all there. I cannot wait to introduce our newest son vincent on his first birthday to DisneyWorld.

15 DAYS /14 NIGHTS AUG. 23rd to SEPT.7th.

Port Orleans French Quarter here we come, again.

 

[Tinkbellfan]

No dates or ressies yet. We are going to wing it and look at the end of August/early September and wait until the AP discounts come out. Free dinning is not as important to us, so we will patiently wait (yeah right)!

We scored a club level GF garden view this August, so our sights are set high again.

My husband and son were thrilled to learn of our surprise trip to Disney - shocked actually. I am so happy I was able to keep it a secret until Christmas. I had a big box with both their names on it with a series of numbered and wrapped gifts. The first was for both and it was Disney Pictureka. Then they each had their own gifts to open...Hubby got the MouseJunkies book and my son has been wanting The Idiots Guide to Walt Disney World (I think he liked the name). Then they each had a picture that I drew to open with all the vacation info on it - Hubby got Mickey and my son had Donald. I was so happy with how Mickey came out, but could not seem to get Donald's bill right. Then finally maps and the vacation DVD. They were both so happy they both started crying. I so wish I had thought to get the video camera out. It was great....so much better than just telling him.

August 21st - 27th....POFQ (week of my hubby's 40th birthday)

Amy
