In just 90 days, we will be at the World for DS' first trip. Woohoo! I love seeing that number get smaller and smaller.

^ Thank you! GAAAH why can't May be sooner.

My tax return is a-comin', though. Hooray! Disney will be paid off!

Yay for tax returns! We should be getting ours back soon, as well and are using some of it towards our trip.

Whoo, another All Star Sports resident! I'm staying there the 4th through the 11th.

It's always nice to have the countdown drop into smaller digits. I have a mini-celebration everytime I hit the next ten digit mark. Here's to 80 days!

For those of you who aren't watching the Discounts and Codes thread, there are some folks who have had luck applying a free dining code to their existing May reservations. Some have had CMs who let them apply the code and others haven't had good luck. It's for free quick service dining and the May code is K7V and the April, May & June code is Y63. Another poster said that they had to apply the code I67 to their existing reservation because they had booked their reservation online.

I am going to try calling this afternoon and see if I can modify our existing reservation. I am currently booked with the Spring Room offer but free dining (even if I pay to uprade to regular dining) would save me about $300.00 more than the current offer.

^ I just called about this discount, and the operator told me that there was a black out for the dates that I'm going (May 13-20), so the code wasn't available to my party. =/

However, I did make a payment, so I'm veeeeeery close to having this trip paid off. Just waiting for the tax return...

And tomorrow, our double digit dance begins!

My family is now booked at POP Century from May 21 - 31 to celebrate my twins high school graduation with FREE QS dining (that I called & called & finally got).

My TA called down and tried them for me...the CMs wanted to know where I got the INTERNAL Codes from. So no dice for us.

I've called three times and it's a no go for us as well. I'm not giving up though as I have seen more posters say they were getting it applied even after I posted here.

 

[BigDaddyWill]

Yeah I am going in to make a payment tomorrow and will see if I can get her to try again. Since we did not book directly I don't know if I can get it applied to our rez or if she has to do it...

I tried this afternoon, and it was a no for us...The lady was really nice and looked for other discounts, but the only discount available was the room only offer, which we already have applied. Oh well! Congrats to those who are able to use the code!!

 

[iheartphineas]

Finalized our plans yesterday: May 12-18, All Star Movies, with free QSDP, upgraded to DDP! We are celebrating my 2 boy's first trip along with my parents and my in-laws, and we are so excited.

 

[Tiggerrific]

I haven't posted on here since our last big trip almost 6 years ago now. We just booked our trip for May 5-12 at POR. We are all doing the happy happy dance now, and counting down the days. WoooooooHooooooooooooo!!!!!!





and just for good measure, in case ya'll missed it the first time!


It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time (with Mickey ears of course)

 

[jillbur]

Just booked yesterday for a long weekend getaway for DH and I~first time with no kids! We are at Pop from May 18-21!

I wonder if the code will ONLY work if you have some sort of PIN attached to your name?? Just because it sounds like some are getting it and some are told NO! I called last week to see if a pin was attached to my name, but they said no.... I then went on the Disney site and ordered the maps....hoping this would trigger some sort of pin. I'm gonna try to call again later today to see if there is anything there! Free Dining would REALLY be nice!

Double digit dance, over here! 99 days to go!

 

[kkandaj]

We will be at WDW May 12-19, staying in a 3 bedroom at Wyndham Bonnet Creek. My parents and MIL will be with us also, so we needed a big place. DS also has multiple food allergies--so a kitchen is required on vacation.

This is a surprise trip for the kids and MIL has never been to WDW. She lives in DC and the kids haven't seen her in almost two years. They will be so surprised when she is at the airport waiting for us. Her flight is scheduled to arrive about 45 minutes before ours. I've been planning since the end of August and can't wait!

98 days until the big reveal! Hoping I can continue to keep my big mouth shut!
