Official: January 2009

[sbickhart]

We will be there Jan 17-24 at Pop. I got cheap flight from Philly on Delta. I already booked at Disney and paid in full. However, as I read the post I see people are waiting for discounts. Did I miss out on something. Can I get these discounts, when available, even though I already booked? Any help would be appreciated!!!!

Just booked today - Jan 13 through 16th at the All Star Sports with dining plan.
This will be one of the shortest trips we have taken but I am very excited as we just started talking about maybe going a couple of days ago.

I am having trouble with one of my ADR's but will keep trying.

I am so looking forward to being BACK IN WDW!!!!!

If there are rooms at your resort choice available with a discount code for the dates you have booked, then you can get the discounted rates. You might need to cancel your current reservation and make a new one with the discount code, or you might be able to apply the code to your current ressie.

When and if any room-only or pkg codes come out, there will be lots of threads about them here on the DIS. Just keep an eye out, and call CRO when you see any. They will handle the reservation for you- transfering it, etc.

Does anyone know if there is a thread for sharing Illuminations or Wishes cruises for January? I have seen every month but, and And tomorrow is the first day to start calling for January.

We'll be there the 16th-25th. I'd love to attend P&P after seeing how the parade was created on On Demand on Comcast last week!!!! We were there around the same time last year. The weather was all over the place with some hot and humid days and then cold and windy and then rain. But it was so much fun...we're headed back! This year we snagged Business Club at CSR! We stayed there last year too and love it there. I can't even imagine staying in another moderate!

We haven't booked yet, but im def going in January with my boyfriend and 2 friends. It's my first time as a cast member and i am excited! Waiting about a week to book as we get better discounts around then, and then I'll let you all know when I'll be down. This is such a dream trip for me, I've seriously daydreamed about taking down these guys (yes it'll be 1 gal and 3 guys in one room, yikes!) for a long time, and now its becoming a reality!

We will be doing our first Grand Gathering with My parents DW's parents and our siblings. Shoud be fun.

anyone going between the dates 1/2-1/11 need a double stroller to use? We have a stroller swap, see the link in my signature to the thread. It will be free to use, the stroller has been paid for, so that $15 will no longer apply.

If anyone is interested, please post on that thread in my signature or PM me for more info. See the 1st page if that thread for info on the stroller!
Thanks!

You will miss it. It is the weekend before you get to WDW (1/9- 1/11), and the race goes through parts of all 4 parks. It starts pretty early in the AM, and is usually over with by noon or so. There are some road closures to deal with, but nothing too bad.

 

[DisneyObsessive]

ok so im a deposit away from official! 5th-10th! yay!

 

[manntra]

Good for you! You are almost official! Did you decide on where you are staying? I love planning!

 

[DisneyObsessive]

Coronado Springs. I love planning too! im having the airfare nerves though lol waiting for my other 3 vactioners to get the money to me to book the tickets.
But i even went ahead and bought the unofficial guide for 2009. its been a while since ive bought a disney guide, i figure its a great way to get excited!

 

[manntra]

Coronado Springs looks like a great place! I think today I will start thinking about food, food, food and where to eat. Unless work gets in my way of course. Hopefully you can get some "good" airfares flying out of the city. My local airport is smallish but I pay more out of convenience to fly local instead of driving out of town. Especially at that time of the year, you never know what the weather is going to be around here.

So I'm doing my little dance over here..totally lost track of days since I was so busy, and there's only 83 left to go! We're paying off the last of our room-only ressie this week!! Wahoooooooooooo!

 

[DisneyObsessive]

Well, we are paying about $240 round trip per person out of JFK but compared to the $110 or so i paid in, i dunno, 2004.... it seems steep. but anything to get to the World!

Edit: Totally official! put down the deposit! *dances* hopefully doing airfare in the next couple of days.

 

[mommytocalliesue]

Just wanted to add that we're going Jan. 17th - Jan. 23!! I'm SOOO Excited! It's our 7th trip...but our 2 1/2 year old's first!

My husband just got his bonus...so going to pay the trip off this week! I just hope there's good weather!

 

[Iggipolka]

Woohoo! We just got home from F&W and I'm looking forward to our January trip!
We'll be at AKV January 7 - 15th! Can't wait!

 

[manntra]

I saw that Splash Mountain is going to be closed while I am there. Oh well...at least we will be at Disney... although that is one of my favorite rides. Still having a hard time deciding on places to eat with my niece (she is 19 but quite picky!). I know she likes chicken! I will probably just do some buffets to be safe...and she likes breakfast too! I will miss being at my AKV home and eating many times at Boma!
Take care everyone and happy planning!
