AKL is a nice upgrade from moderate/value to deluxe. The rooms are larger, the eateries within the hotel structure, nice pool and good bus service.We were able to just extend our stay at AKL to now check out on the 14th. Very thankful it was at a discount so we didn't have to split at a value. This will be our first time staying at a deluxe! I'm so excited!
It is now officially, official, because I booked our airline tickets today.
We were supposed to head to Disney in January, but my son is on swim team and they have a meet and practice, so I moved us to February. Then to find out baseball tryouts start on President's Day! These HS sports are killing my vacation planning.
So after all the changes we ended up at Pop for 1 night, Feb 14 - 15, then CBR Feb 15 - 18.
Hoping I don't regret that Pop reservation (cheer competition). As my hubby said, it's only 1 night and we won't even get there until about 6:30 pm. I'll keep stalking the website to maybe grab a last minute cancellation for CBR for the 14th. Regardless, it isn't Ohio in February. I'll take it!
I purchased our “After Hours at Hollywood Studios” tickets for the 26th. Has anyone done this special event? How was it?
I'm with you - HS sports are just too much sometimes. It's as if there is NOTHING else going on, in the whole earth, other than your ONE sport.It is now officially, official, because I booked our airline tickets today.

We definitely had to accommodate swim season. My son should letter as a freshman, but one of the criteria items is being at 95% of the practices, We didn't want to jeopardize his opportunity. Just glad we still get to head south!I'm with you - HS sports are just too much sometimes. It's as if there is NOTHING else going on, in the whole earth, other than your ONE sport.
I actually can't honor the commitment fully. My kid misses some things. Such is life. I have a hard time believing when he gets to be 30, we'll look back and say, if you had only gone to that 40th game of the season!!!
I did find a room at CBR for the entire length of our stay! Feb 14 - 18! I had the room discount for Thursday night only, which turns out for CBR was only 10%. (Hence the "up to" 20% off). So it wasn't too much of a price difference. Just glad we aren't moving resorts for a short trip!Got you added to the lists. Hopefully you will find an opening at CBR and can cancel the first night at Pop.
Decided right before Christmas we needed a Disney Trip, We are going Feb 17-25th, we used to go every year or so, sometimes twice a year. Not confirmed but we will most likely be offsite since we are traveling as 6 adults and prefer having a kitchen and living room.

Just thought I'd start an official February 2024 thread. Although I haven't officially booked yet my husband and I will be going in February 2024 unless something major happens. If you have booked or plan to book join us in chatting about our Disney plans (and life in general) and see who will be there the same time you will be. Post your dates and resort and I'll keep the list updated. I look forward to chatting with you all.
I saw someone else start a thread where they listed by dates and listed by resorts as well because I think that's a cool idea.

Hi! My family and I are excited we are within 40 days of our upcoming trip (2/17-2/24). Staying in a 1br at Boulder ridge. Some fun notable plans:
2/17- Dinner at Artist point
2/18- breakfast at Tusker house
2/19- rose and crown fireworks dinner
2/21- dolphins in depth at epcot
Should be fun!!!
We can not wait to go, 38 days. Split stay at Poly then BR. Got Chef Mickey's, Artist Point, Rainforest (love being in that place), Space 220, and Rodeo. Going Feb 18-25....
Got AH on that Wednesday 21 at HS. We did it last year In April and we enjoyed it. That was the day we arrived as well and was able to make it through the day, had to be up at 3am for flights...lol
Just did a random check to "change my reservation", was able to get the "Save Up to 20% on Rooms in Early 2024" discount on my room. Didn't save me a much, but $75.00, is $75.00. It might be worth checking as the final balances are coming due for people, they might have decided to give up their rooms.
We've decided to expand our stay a little more. Now staying 10th-15th at AKL with 6 day park hoppers. This quick, cheap, resort only work trip has officially turned into full on Disney!![]()
