:banana:

I booked us in at Paradise Pier for August 29th to September 4th!

That's all I've done so far!

And it's going to be a surprise for my kids! :cool1::banana::woohoo::yay:
 
How exciting!! I am surprising my girls with a trip to DL for our Fall Break Oct. 8-14! Trying to figure out how to tell them!! :goodvibes We go to WDW at least once a year but we've never been to DL!

When I booked it told me I can book a "character call" so I booked it for the night before our trip. I figure that is how they can find out about the trip!!! :banana:

Thanks everyone! I think I've caught the Disney vacation planning bug! :laughing:
 
Congrats to you too.. I've got the planning attack real bad. We've been having movie countdown parties, (full on decoration too) my kids had never seen Rodger Rabbit, Peter Pan etc. We've made a mickey paper countdown chain and itinerary binder.. Now that I have my Halloween party tickets in hand...I'm costume crazy!! So join the club!! Ha ha

I'm not bad, I was drawn this way!

I love that! Sounds like a lot of fun! Come to think of it I don't think my kid shave seen Roger Rabbit either. I remember during my first trip there (while that movie was popular) that whole warehouse dedicated to it at WDW. I remember laying in the ground under the big machine (paver?) that runs the bad guy over in the end! lol I also remember taking pictures with the Jessica Rabbit cut out! :rotfl2:
 
How exciting!

I'm booking our February trip today now that JetBlue opened up the dates we need! :banana:
 
Ooooh fun!! We love surprising our kids with Dland trips too!! They get sooo excited! They love it just as much (maybe more!!) than I did when I was a kid! Just the hubby and I are going right around the same time you are this Fall, and next Fall we are planning to bring the kids and surprise them with Halloween in Disney too! :D Sooo exciting!! I bet your kids will have a total BLAST! It's so fun to see their sweet little faces light up when you surprise them! Ours have been twice so far, with the most recent being just a few months ago. Such a fun family time! We love it so much, we have made what was going to be a "once in a blue moon" thing a once or twice a year thing!! YES!! :rotfl2: Thank goodness the hubs loves us so much!! I totally dig the planning thing too...maybe we are all just Disney obsessed...but is that a bad thing? NAH! hehehehe

Well last time I was at Disney World was 18 years ago! This is my kids first vacation EVER!! I am a single mom and was never in the position to be able to afford a trip but things this last year have been really good. So I booked this trip and it's getting so close so then I just decided to book the DL trip for next year and make it a surprise! It is going to be a BLAST surprising them with the trip! How I will make it over 400 days (again!) without telling them I don't know! :rotfl2:

My 6 year old daughter likes to watch videos of kids getting surprised with trips to Disney and she actually said she wished I had surprised them with this trip. lol So I'll find a way to keep it to myself until the night before the trip!!! :goodvibes

I think as kids we just don't really notice those things. I am still wondering what bad words were in it. lol I love Aladdin!!! I only have my oldest son home this weekend so Disney Movie Night is just gonna be the 2 of us. I wonder what he will want to watch this time. :goodvibes Thanks! I'm gonna hold off on planning stuff for DL until the WDW trip is here and gone! :)

Just curious, how did you book so early? The Disneyland site says "Your check-out date must be on or before December 31, 2012," and the latest I could find on other sites was a year out.
 
Awesome! Have a great time surprising the kiddos!

Thanks! That's the part I'm looking forward to the MOST!!! :thumbsup2:banana::woohoo:

Hmmm. It says you can book up to 499 days in advance. So I just put in those dates and it gave me a package and I booked it. I think it only just changed in the last week or so though. Maybe try it again now and see if it works. :goodvibes I used www.disneyland.ca and then it redirected me to US pricing.
