Our DVC Angel just booked the first 7 days of a 9 day stay at Board Walk starting on Oct. 28, checking out Nov. 6. Next I look for a possible rental car then the South West flight, the planning is ALMOST as much fun as the actual getting there.

Just got the last day of 9 booked at Board Walk, Oct 28 - Nov 6. Already have a reservation at Sheraton Four Points for a Sleep n Fly at PHL, looking for a decent car rental, South West window won't open for quite a while but we're looking to book the first day the rates open. It's real now.

I love that feeling.
I need to get a countdown going for Oct for us, Dining reservations, FP reservations, I believe DVC folk even have a Midnight Magic event or two to look forward to.

Thank you, I added this information. Seems so far off, but we know planning helps to eat up the time. Pun not intended.

So far off But this thread has defintitely made it feel like it's getting closer thanks to you! I have 299 days and counting...

 

[GraceMonica]

I hope I don't jinx myself by posting this, but we're booked October 26th-november 2nd. Split stay between the contemporary and yacht club.

I'm on a quest to try all the resorts at least once and the contemporary is my last stop for the monorail resorts. We're going all out since we skipped disney this year. Plus we'll be celebrating our 5 year anniversary! We booked the tower theme park view room.

Yacht club will be my husband's first time staying anywhere other than a MK resort! I guess I've spoiled him with his first 3 trips all being within a boat ride away from MK.

In 2017 we did MNSSHP on Halloween, which was a nice treat but this time I think we're gonna do it earlier on our trip and spend Halloween elsewhere.

I'm hoping to enjoy F&W more since we'll be so close and won't have to worry about switching monorails.

I know my husband is excited at the thought of popping into epcot to get me my grand Marnier slush. He knows it makes me happy, which makes him happy.

325 days!
