We are meeting another family who is never been outside of the summertime. So excited for Nov 21-26 at BLT!

Going Nov 5th - Nov 10th and staying at Gran Destino Tower.

Hubby will be at a conference during the day so I'm on my own mornings and afternoons. Been to DW several times but this is my first time at the parks on my own. I don't have many plans other than earning the rest of my Wilderness Explorer badges, lunch at Yak & Yeti, beignets at POFQ and MVMCP (hopefully the dates line up).

Also thinking about the Keys to the Kingdom tour.

We are booked for 1 night in Nov. We will be on the Fantasy on Nov. 10 so I’m hoping they offer Jollywood nights again for Nov. 9. We are booked at Beach Club for the night, but I waitlisted Boardwalk to try something new. Not sure what we will do if there is no Jollywood. Maybe a 1 day ticket or just resort/pool stay.

I would really like Disney to drop some November discounts!! We've never stayed deluxe before, and hoping to switch to a split stay Wilderness Lodge/Pop instead of just Pop if they come out with a decent offer.

 

[Theleecrew8]

I'm going to be there the 9th-14th staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge for a girls'/work trip! I'm so excited as it's my first time staying at AKL. (We stopped in to see it on my last trip and knew I had to make it happen!)

I'm doing some family mini photo sessions and need to decide which resort(s) to do them at though. So many amazing ones!

Have you looked at renting DVC points? A friend swears by it and I was looking at it for my family for our next trip and will for sure be doing that. It's like staying at a deluxe for the moderate rate. I stayed with my friend and it's just like you booked it, it's under your name and you have all the amenities, etc of deluxe.

11/9-11/18 SSR

We changed our December reservation to November about a week and a half ago when Southwest had a sale. 2,900 points one way.

I have from but what I understand it's not refundable.

Correct, but you can buy travel insurance, and might still save money going that route.

So fun!! I love AKL.

As for your mini sessions (love this!), my vote is for the boardwalk area or Wilderness Lodge.

 

[TheOneWithTheTriplets]

Add us to the list. Currently CBR 11/1-11/6 before we cruise to Lighthouse Point and Castaway Cay!

Hoping to see room discounts drop any day now. Last year, 6/15 was the date that they dropped the discounts through year end, so fingers crossed we don't have long to wait.

The wait for discounts is driving me nuts!! Really hoping they drop sometime this week!

Jumping in, we're in the BLT at the Contemporary for Thanksgiving week, Nov 24-Dec 1. Can't wait! Would love to hear any opinions on which parks for which days for Thanksgiving weeks! Planning on doing the Christmas party one night.

 

[WIll C]

We decided that it was time for Christmas this year, instead of our normal January trip. We'll be there the 15th thru the 21st at Riviera (our DVC home). We can't wait to see the Christmas party again! Haven't been since 2019 for that (and that was a mistake, way too busy). Hopefully, it won't be as bad, even being near Thanksgiving. Regardless, we are excited to go again!

Kind of a bummer that the 30% resort discounts came out and they're only eligible for Nov. 24 onward, and only "other savings" for "most" stays Sunday to Thursday nights the rest of November.

 

[TheOneWithTheTriplets]

Deals are live. The "other savings" for most nights range from 20% down to 10% for various hotels (by comparison, the Nov-Dec higher percent off goes from 30 to 15 depending on location).

Nothing great for my dates, but we need a 5th sleeper which always makes life harder. I could drop down from CBR to POR, but I want the Skyliner.

 

[IanDLBZF from MCMagic]

I'm not sure if this counts, but I'll be at the Contemporary 10/31-11/1.

 

[mamamelody2]

Deals were not as good as I hoped, but my husband and I had already decided to splurge, so we have upgraded our Pop Century stay. We are now 5 nights Boardwalk Inn, 4 nights Gran Destino Tower, 5 nights Wilderness Lodge. We are excited! We have never stayed at any of those resorts, and never stayed deluxe. Also we have never stayed 14 nights, so looking forward to actually spending time at our resorts!
