Thanks for starting the thread! No dates yet because my 11 month window hasn't opened up, but we will most likely be going the week of Labor Day as we have done for the last few years. I'm really going to miss year round school in a few years when my kids are in high school.

We love that week too but my oldest is a nurse who is required to work every other weekend & next year the dates just don’t work out

She’s VERY excited that we will be at Epcot on September 21st for the Guardians of the Galaxy “song fest”. lol. Her favorite song on her favorite ride.

And it will be a birthday trip for me as my birthday is just a few days after checkout.

Post once you know your dates & resort(s)!

Bounceback booked for Sept 7-14! Beach Club - a year away, but can't come soon enough, had such a good time this year!

We did the same thing! We had a blast earlier this month & booked a bounce back before we even checked out. lol

 

[LadybugsMum]

We are going to be at BWV Sept 3-11. I may change our room at the 7 month window, but the dates are set.

 

[hsmamainva]

We just switched from Pop to Port Orleans French Quarter!

We’ve never stayed there & there was a nice discount with our Bounceback offer.

We'll be there the 19th-26th! Booked yet another triple split stay, this time BWI, Poly, then YC. One of these trips we'll learn to stay at just a single hotel.

I've never done a split stay - you don't feel like you lose too much time packing up and moving around?

Not really, but we're also not people that do parks from open to close. We take midday breaks everyday, which are perfect for moving over to the next resort. The only downside for us is not having the dining reservation advantage for a long trip at one place, but lately we don't go after hard to get reservations, so it hasn't made a huge impact.

That makes sense, also dining reservations don't seem to be as hard to get these days, so that would help. I'd consider a split to try out other locations, that would be fun!

 

[Earningmywings]

We are going Sept 19-26, either renting points for BWV or just sticking with Pop and hopefully free dining. The only “problem” we are having is the grandparents (my in-laws) have said they may want to join us. While we have done this a few times in the past, I was hoping for a more relaxed trip this time with the 4 of us. I tried to have my DH suggest to them to go in May when it wasn’t as hot, to which grandpa said well I just wanted to hang out with you guys some Cue the HUGE guilt trip. Of course you can come with us grandpa. Trying to get them to make a decision before the 11 month window opens in 8 days is the issue.

 

[Starclassic]

Booked Sept 13-18 at POR!

2026 was supposed to be a skip year for us, but after our MNSSHP was a washout a few weeks ago, I decided to book a bounceback instead. lol

 

[LadybugsMum]

Uhh. I said the dates are set, but I shifted them slightly to be the 4th-12th. One of my kids decided that they are done with band and that means we don't need to be back for a concert.

 

[Earningmywings]

Officially booked for BCV September 19-26! Original plans of BWV or Pop went out the window when the grandparents decided to go. 321 days left to go

VAtink our trips have overlapped many times in the past, I am sure we have seen each other and never knew it. I always read your trip reports and think oh I was that that day too.

Oh no way! It's funny, when I read other TRs from the same time we were there I always look to see if we show up in the background of any of the photos. Maybe one of these years we'll bump into each other!
