Official January 2015 Thread!!!

[nogreenworld]

Packages are being released on July 30.

i've heard this a few places. any source?

on the site today, you can now put january dates in to search for resorts, but when i do, it says "this special offer is unavailable for the dates selected" for every resort. i didn't select any special offer, i just searched from the main page, so it looks like they're gearing up for release soon. weird that they'd do it piecemeal, unless this is just another version of a similar error i've run into on their site quite frequently in the late morning while searching about this trip this year.

apparently, the dates are only viewable now to allow december guests to see them. you cannot select any january only dates and get rates. i hear word on the board here a few places that july 30 is the day, the CM on chat said "end of the summer."

it did, thanks. it's nice to see it in print. still later than i'd like for my 180 window, but these things happen.

Just joining the thread, we'll be there! Can't wait!

Booked all my ADRs and got everything DH and I wanted so excited!!

If all goes according to plan, we will be there Jan. 1 thru 6th. My kids should have to miss only one day of school.
On Christmas morning, the kids will find a DVD under the tree, marked only with "Play Me." It will feature a very clever (if I do say so myself) video message revealing where we will all be in one week. The musical tracks on the DVD include a clip of dada's 90's hit song, "Diz Knee Land." Yeah, I know we're going to the World, not the Land, but I couldn't help myself. Can't wait to see their faces!
DD already has a BBB appointment on the 2nd, before MK opens. DS will get a Lego shopping spree of equal value in DTD. And we're all scheduled to have breakfast with the princesses at Akershus on the 3rd.
Just waiting on the 2015 packages so we can book our room (hoping for POR) and Southwest Airlines to open their booking schedule beyond 1/4.
This will be SO EPIC... CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!

EDITED: I've recently been "schooled" that Walt Disney World refers collectively to all the parks and resorts and everything else included in this magical place, not just Magic Kingdom. So when I said, "I'm going to Disney World, then to Epcot, then HS, then AK," I was being a bit redundant. All fixed now.

 

[MrsAyres]

Add us to the list! The crew and I will arrive January 3rd!

 

[csarenz]

We are in too! Jan 11-17 at AKV, Jambo House.

Luckily we were able to get all of the ADRs we wanted. BOG dinner at 4:20pm, but hey, it's an ADR.

Now, we just wait for FP+ window.

 

[GraceMonica]

Okay! So its been two weeks since DH agreed to a dis vacation! I talked him into staying at POP and leaving for Florida a little earlier to visit his grandparents before our trip, so we'd have more time for Disney! This will be our official honeymoon. I suspect we will be there from the 3rd til the 10th. Looking forward to the rates to come out so I can see what my budget will really be!

 

[nogreenworld]

It's official! We are there January 24-31.

Disappointed to see Cinderella's Royal table will be closed.

 

[EagleFlyer]

Early in the planning stages so this could change but we're looking to be there Jan 23-30th. We're mostly QS meal people but I'll be making a few ADRs later this week.

Super pumped!! Just booked us in at AoA January 24-Feb 1. Booked a few ADR's, got a 5pm Be our Guest Reservation. WooHoo. A little bummed Cinderella's Royal Table is closed when we are there. Our five yr old loved it last time. Now to figure out where to go for breakfast instead.

Just booked my first ADR!!

we've always enjoyed breakfast with pooh and friends at crystal palace. if only they would bring back the chocolate mickey waffles!

making some adr's, also a bit frustrated with hollywood studios on the 26th. i knew they were closing early, but it appears that they must really want everyone out of the park by 6. i figured we'd get a dinner reservation at scifi or 50's right before park close, but the last available appears to be 4:30. that's a total waste to spend the end of a short day at the park. it's mostly a bummer, though because we wanted to do 50's and scifi both, and i don't think we can work coming back to HS for a meal another day.

 

[JAMIESMITH]

Made all my ADRs this morning! Excited to have gotten everything I wanted!

 

[kbgusto]

Am I missing something with Hollywood Studios? We are there January 24-31 and I can't get a reservation for Mama Melrose's Ristorante Fantasmic package. I know this is popular, but I am very surprised it's full and there are a bunch of BoG reservations open?

wondering if they didn't release those yet until the package prices come out tomorrow?

Have you done it before? I did not think the fantasmic package was worth it for two dining credits.

I got a Fantasmic Dining Package reservation at Mama Melrose for noon on. Thursday of the week you're trying for. I made it early yesterday morning.
