At one time during Braves spring practice CSR rooms were set aside for the players and families. I thank some of the rms and beds were more made for an athlete. So it might be the official Pro Bowl Disney Resort. Plus they have the convention rooms for team meetings. This is all a guess on my part.

That would make sense! We're booked at CSR for now. We tried to move our dates and CSR was completely filled up according to our TA. Which she said was odd. We suspected it was Pro Bowl related. We're willing to switch resorts if we can get a room deal but our TA won't put up Jan / Feb discounts until Sept / Oct. So for now we wait.

Howdy all, me, my wife and 6 year old are heading back for our 2nd trip in Jan, 7-16 Split stay Polynesian then Wilderness Lodge.
10 days total, 7 days in the park, really looking forward to trip number 2 since we know so much more now and know what we want to do.
Hope to see some of you there!

Hello!
We will be going 7-14 Jan and staying at POP! We went this 9-17 Jan and stayed at POP, too.
Last 2 trips have been in January and we LOVE it there then! This trip is going to be a bit different than the others. The last 2 trips we have taken were Me, DH and DD. This next trip DH gave the OK for it to be just a girl-only trip! I really wanted to take her one more time before she came a Disney Adult (she will turn 10 in Feb). It is also going to be a surprise trip for DD, I plan on giving her her MagicBand for her big Christmas gift.

I run a group on FB for Jan 2017 trippers, it is call "WDW Jan 2017" (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1708131972736011/)
Feel free to join us!

I just joined your group, we will be there at the same time!

Just booked last night! My plans changed a bit...I'll now be there January 28-30 and staying at AKL Jambo. Lots of firsts for me this trip: first time renting DVC points, first stay at a deluxe, AND first solo trip

We will be leaving Jambo on the 28th. AKL is a great place to stay. Hope you end up loving it!

Thanks! I'm a 100% type-A planner, so I spent a ton of time researching. I think I'll be very happy with it

I booked our flights this morning! I have been waiting for Southwest to release dates. Now I will just wait for my ADR window to open up.

I did too! Out of Flint - direct flights both ways - WOOO HOOO!!! It feels real now!

I called on Tuesday to add the DDP to our DVC reservation. One step closer. ADR in 18 days.

Will there be any Fantasmic in January? We're getting very close to our ADR window, and I was hoping to do a Fantasmic dinner package.

I'm eager for that info, too, but from what i'm hearing in other threads, we might not have a finished schedule release until much closer to our trips.

Exactly 2 weeks until I can make our ADRs! Has anyone here already made theirs? Were you able to book what you had hoped for?

Three weeks for me, and I've already changed my mind on where I want to eat about 50 times since I booked the hotel last week, with probably another 50 mind-changes to come before August 1.

Same here. LOL I think I have it pretty well set now after many revisions, but if things aren't available, I'll be at a loss because now I can't make up my mind on back up plans. I wish we had planned on more days so we could fit lots more in!!!!! Too much fun, too little time.
