Same here. Hoping that the flights come out soon. We are also waiting for our 7 month window to try and get into the Beach Club Villas.

We are planning our first family trip for Feb 15-20th. We are also confined to school breaks because H is a teacher. My daughter will be almost 5 and my son will be 18 months.

Waiting to book things is a pain. We have a Bonnet Creek timeshare rental reserved and the tickets have arrived from Undercover Tourist. The next step is waiting for the flights to open up next month and booking ADRs at 180. We are only planning to do 3 or 4. A princess breakfast, BOG hopefully (I will probably had to snag a cancellation), liberty tavern at fireworks time.

Looks like I'm leaving this group - I just booked us for Dec. 8-16. Bye guys!

My husband and I are planning on going Feb 8-16 for our second Disney trip! I've never been in the winter months--I am nervous about ride refurbishments and missing out on our favorites. We are thinking of staying at PORFQ but unsure. We stayed at Riverside for our disneymoon last August and loved it. YeeHaa Bob was one of our favorite parts of the trip--especially my husband. Any thoughts on FQ v. Riverside?

I think I'm joining this group and the March one!

February 27 - March 8

Me and three of my kids. POFQ

Not-so-patiently waiting for 2015 packages to open for booking.

Do most people do a Sat/Sun thru Sat/Sun trip? Does anyone start midweek? I am planning on arriving on Feb.3rd which is a Tue, I think. Any disadvantages to this?

 

[momto3gr8boys]

I typically do mid-week. Last summer was my first Sunday start day and I found everything from flights to DME to the lobby to the first few park hours to feel busier. I'm going back to mid-week travel. Plus I think air is lower mid-week.

Joining in - we are going 2/8-2/15. A few quiet days before the weekend mad crowds! We already booked RO for ASMo and keeping fingers crossed for a PIN - never got one yet. This is our first trip back since October 2010. last time it was all about the princesses - this time it is all about the rollercoasters!

 

[muchado]

Seems like we're moving our trip to Oct. 2015 now. Need to save up some more.

 

[disneymania0711]

We may have to move to May 2015. Not leaving this thread until I know for sure

 

[cadale]

Joining in! We are tentatively scheduled for 2/15-19/2015. I know it's winter break but our daughter works in the schools so she could only go then to avoid the taking time off hassle. Booked at VWL in a 1-bedroom.

Didn't make a ticker for this trip yet - the current one is for our big trip in October 2015.

 

[Tahoegal]

Joining in too! Trying to decide between the first of last week of Feb.

 

[disneymania0711]

Well folks, I'm officially exiting this thread. Hubby and I had a long talk and decided we are holding off until October 2015.

 

[muchado]

Ok, looks like air fare will be too expensive at other times of the year for us. So, now trying to decide whether the first week of Feb. is better than the last week of Feb. Looking for decent weather (would love swimming weather for a few days) and low crowds.
Any suggestions?

First week is better for low crowds - the last week is right after the Princess Half Marathon so it will be more crowded and rooms may even be more expensive than the first week in February which is all low season.

As far as swimning weather, well that is a crapshoot - only Mother Nature knows for sure. February can still be cool enough for a hoodie or it can be warm enough to go swimming - no way of knowing. Obviously, the closer to spring you are, the better the chance for warm weather but again, after this past crazy winter, who knows?

We will be there the week of 2/8-2/15. I've already told DD that if it ends up too cold, we may have to forego swimming - she understands - Mickey, characters and roller coasters are the priority - swimming is secondary.

We were there 1st week of February this year and for the first 3 or 4 days it temps were in the upper 80's and we did go swimming. The last few days temps were in the 60's and overcast/drizzly. You just never know that time of year.

We are looking to go again next year the same time. Crowds were very low. We had a great time.

 

[Mom2Cody06]

Joining in! Our family will be in the world from 2/21 to 2/28. I will be running the half on Sunday, my first half marathon and an item off of my bucket list. We so far are planning to stay at All Star Music since we are also being joined by another family who will be staying in a family suite there. But if a good discount comes out we may try for AoA or Pop. Guess we will see what happens. I think this trip we may do the QS dining plan if we do one at all. Other than fast passes I don't want to schedule too much since I don't know for sure how I'll feel from the half. We hope to have a celebratory breakfast/brunch at Chef Mickeys if we can get an ADR for all 8-10 of us. Looking forward to chatting and sharing planning with you all

 

[Jeniie]

We're going on our honeymoon from February 25 to March 10! DH hasn't been since he was 5 so we're both pretty excited for this trip. Plus I've always been there in the middle of summer when it's hot and crowded so this will be a nice chance of pace.

 

[HuskerFaninIL]

Nine of us going Feb 5th-15th. Hoping for POR or POFQ but possibly Coronado is that works better with a discount.

 

[DaisyLou2]

Just secured BLT studio for first week of Feb by renting DVC points. I'm so excited! I have been twice before over 10 years ago and am excited to bring my daughter for her first visit!!
