166 days for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY! Then me too!! Thank you for keeping track of days for me! Let me know when I can make my ADRs!!

(j/k, I have April 20th marked on my calendar! And FYI, my ticker is one day ahead of yours because I'm counting down to my wedding, the day before.)

 

[MeetingMickeyin2006]

It's February! 5 more months until July! 153 days until we leave!

I just read on Mousesavers that next week they will be extending the buy 4 get 3 free offer thru August 15th!!!

Wow! That's great for us summer people! Now here's my question...I'm staying 6 nights, could I buy 4 and get 2 free instead of 3? And do you think this would be a better deal than a potential AP discount?

EDIT:
Hmm, I just went on the official website to price out 4 nights at Poly and it came to $2070, with my 15% AAA discount, I'm paying $2036 for 6 nights so I guess this deal doesn't benefit me. I'm not even sure if it's for room only or has to be a package anway. Oh well, guess it doesn't matter now. I hope you guys can benefit from this deal!!!!!

It's for a package. You have to book room and tickets. And you're right with 6 nights you would get 2 free.

We just changed our dates to July 20-30 instead of the 19-29th. The times for flights were much better those days!

Ok. Now the hard decision.

Do we stay at Pop Century and have more spending money?

OR

Do we upgrade to a Moderate Resort for not much more than we're paying now??? Which Moderate Resort do you recommend??

I would recommend Port Orleans Riverside. The resort is beautiful, the pool is awesome, and I love the foot court there.

I am jumping onboard the July train!! We just booked a vacation for July 19-24. It is me, my dh, my ds (8) and my dd (4). My dd will be turning 5 during the trip! We decided to enjoy the What are you celebrating for her birthday!! We are DVC members and this is our 5th trip to Disney but our first time going in the summer. We usually go in November. However, I am starting a long term substitute job for the rest of this school year and going back to teaching full time next year. Therefore, we decided to see how Disney World is in the summer. I always go with a great touring plan and will definitely do it this time knowing the crowds. My dh is concerned about the heat but I figured we would do parks in the morning, swim in the afternoon, and go back to parks in the evening. We are staying at Beach Club Villas are absolutely favorite place to stay!

One question, in the past WDW releases the hours 6 months ahead of time but I see June and July hours have not been released. Have they changed their policy on this? Is it because the ADRs have been changed to 90 days? Thank you!

 

[jmskinner]

Welcome, our dates will overlap. From what I have read, they are now posting the hours around 90 days out or I guess a little over 3 months out.

You have a good plan already. We went in June last year and July 4th two years before that. We would get up and go in the morning and then leave around 1 or 2 in the afternoon and then come back in the evening. We actually planned our ADR's around 1:00 so we would be full and sleepy and could take a nap before heading back.

Enjoy your trip!

ME TOO!!! To bad they won't give us the discount but I will call on Monday to see if I can get in on the promotion. How bout everyone else? Who wants to make a bet that calling and getting through is NOT going to be easy?

I'm so excited!! I just booked our flight tickets through SW for $537.60 for three of us. We had to change our plans and fly in two days earlier but I'm not complaining. We are now leaving on July 23rd. My whole day is now brighter....

YAY!! It's so exciting to save money! Congratulations!

 

[dolfinjuls]

We moved our days b/c of a better deal on SW the different days! It's much more exciting when everything is paid for. Now when we can do our dining ressies it'll be great!

Wow, that is a great deal! We're driving, because a flight for four of us will cost $2000.00!!!! I WISH we could get a great deal like you got! I would rather fly!

 

[DisneyPoohBear]

I am suprised they were so cheap so early. Most of our family is driving too and it's an 17.5 hour drive without stops. It is so much cheaper to drive but with prices that low I just can't pass it up. Of course with us being there longer, we will spend more. Maybe we'll hit up gatorland. I have always wanted to that but we never have time.
