Trip details to follow soon!

That is ok we are thinking of changing again also. My income this summer will be 3 times what it normally is. I will save most of it but are seriously thinking of spluging a bit also.

.

It only cost us a difference of $40 total for the whole week to move. Now we are not in the sweets, I would stay delux before the suits there...not worth the $249 a night. But a room just like POP isn't much difference and I will enjoy LM section only being 1 week old when I get there. Kelly come join us all!!

 

[DonnaBoo]

The more I hear of the LM section at AoA, the more I want to switch. DH would rather just stay at POP. Maybe next year we'll do AoA.

 

[ZehnJahren]

I'm going 9/16 - 9/22 (hurricanes permitting). I think I'll be doing my first night at AoA and then the rest of the week at either BW or BC. We'll see what happens once the room-only / passholder discounts come out!

I just booked Cap May Clam Bake for our arrival night. Has anyone been there?
You can still walk from Epcot right?

Yay, we finally booked! Our only requirement was to stay somewhere new. We narrowed the list down by taking the resort with the biggest discount, which landed us at Old Key West! Since we're looking to buy DVC, it will act as a scouting mission as well.

Basketkat, when you get the chance, can you add our resort to the list? Dates are the same. Thanks!!

Haven't been but it gets consistently good reviews. Yes, just walk out the International Gateway to the Beach Club!

We stayed at OKW in September in 2010 and prior to that trip DW said that when the kids are older and in school there is no reason to take them out of school for Disney World, that's what the summer is for.

Well lets just say after a week at OKW in September her tune changed to, "It's only for a week!"

We're headed to AKL this September!

Hi mxkris we will be at CBR during your dates with our 9 year old daughter. I fell in love with this resort after watching the planning dvd and can't wait to make ourselves at home! We will be there 3 1/2 weeks after travelling from New Zealand.

Do you live in New Zealand, or just visiting there? 3 1/2 weeks is a long time, but I'm sure it will be SUPER fun! You can take your time, takes lots of breaks and naps! We went for 2 weeks last time, and I'm a bit bummed we can't go for that long again! Best of luck to you, and congrats on the trip!

 

[Cee]

Hello, all! We are officially arriving on Sat., Sept. 29 and staying at SSR. We just make it under the Sept. wire.

 

[tinkerbella16]

New member here!! I will be in WDW Sept 23-28, staying at POR in a Royal Room!! I am so exited!!!

 

[ZehnJahren]

Booked today - staying 9/16 - 9/22 at the Beach Club! First time there, SO EXCITED to be able to walk to Epcot/HS - especially if there's a rain storm or two.

Will wait and see if the passholder discount is better, but for now it's set in stone. Can't wait to go again.

Hi JavArmy thanks very much for your message, we live in New Zealand but my dream is to live in the States one day! Funny about the length of the trip, my travel agent couldn't work out why she couldn't get a reservation through at CBR, turns out the system would only take 21 nights and she had to do an extra reservation for the remaining.

We have been to Disneyland and San Diego previously and love all things Disney plus can't get enough of animal parks so Orlando seemed like the ideal place to set up home for a while. We will do Disney parks, water parks and downtown disney at a leisurely pace then on to Seaworld for a few days, Discovery cove and Gaterland. Absolutely loving the planning. Our area has been continually shaking from earthquakes large and small for the last 18 months and life has been tough with insurance issues etc so it is great to have something to look forward to (although perhaps I shouldn't have added on the 4 day stopover in San Francisco, my daughter is reading a book about their big earthquake and is not sure we should go there )
