Poll: Planning a 2016 Trip? Which month(s) are you going?

[Amazynglydisney]

28 days until we drive from Tampa Bay Florida to AKL for three nights four days in a savanna view room we got a great deal on the room and like to take advantage of low crowds in early February!

Just less than a year for us....Dec. 27, 2016-Jan. 2, 2017. We are flying down but our daughter is traveling by bus (24+ hours) with her school music department. We'll stay in a suite at Art of Animation, not sure where the school kids are staying..

At first I was sad that Osborne Lights were discontinued. Now I'm hoping the crowds might be smaller since the lights are gone. (not holding my breath though)

I suspect there are a larger number of disboard members or future members who mainly frequent the boards for a relatively short time period before a visit to WDW. This will produce poll results that will probably slide for a while. The poll may actually give a good indication of how the crowds differ over the course of the year but not any time soon. For example, it appears from poll results at the moment that January/February is a more crowded time at WDW than June/July.

We plan to stay at POP Century at the end of May for at least 8 nights. Visiting in May because we will be visiting with family that has to wait for school to end (son is a teacher).

We plan to visit in September on our own and take advantage of low crowds. Probably 6 or 7 nights; maybe stay at Poly.

I was totally thinking the same thing!

Going in March (unfortunately during spring break) against all better judgement but that's when I have a large chunk of time off and we're driving down. This is the first time in awhile that we're driving so we're dusting off the RV and staying at the Fort! should be fun.

 

[jodls01]

Dec for 10 days. Staying at campgrounds and villa in Davenport. A bunch of newbies will be with us so I was elected trip planner. My first time with FP+ Last trip was Dec 2013 so I have started reading FP+ tips and will probably have questions in the coming months. I already told group that I RD and anyone that isn't ready on park days can meet us at the park when they are ready. So far everyone has agreed to my rules, hope I don't lose too many family members!

We are planning 3 trips so far possibly 4 (if I can convince dh to take an adults only trip for F&W in November). We have FL Resident Seasonal passes this year we really want to get our money's worth. Our trips will be as follows:

January 26-31 - This trip will be to celebrate my son's 3rd birthday. There will be 10 of us as grandparens, aunts, and unlces decided to join us. Staying offsite at Wyndham Bonnet Creek.

April 13-17 - Not sure where we will be staying either Bonnet Creek again depending on how we like it during our Jan. trip or onsite at POP.

Last week of August - most probably onsite at POP.

DD and I are heading to WDW the last week of August. It has become an annual tradition (at least 5 years now). Flying in on August 27 for 6 nights. Staying at POFQ. Time to set the countdown calendar

 

[Rosey_Rosetta]

We head to the parks in seventeen days!!! We go in this time because it's better for wait times and crowds. Plus, we're taking one of my best friends and want her to see as much as possible.

If we decide to go in March, it'll be for a few days over my spring break which we never have too many problems with.

 

[AnnaGiselle]

The first trip of 2016 is in just a few weeks! It's for my bachelorette and will be for 3 days. However, my DF is jealous that he doesn't get to go, so we've been seriously talking about going with another couple in early December for 3 or 4 days to see all the holiday decorations and events. In both cases, we hope to take advantage of low crowds and resort prices!

 

[4Ds4Diz]

We are driving down for the first time with kids, arrive June 20 til June 29. Unfortunately between school and kids sports, June is our best bet. I am not looking forward to the heat/humidity, but we will be in the World! Doing our first split stay 4 nights AKL/ 4 nights BLT.

 

[kadrachb]

Flying down from BWI May 17th - 25th, staying at the Poly club level, celebrating my graduation from college with my boyfriend!

 

[Wes1stTrip2016]

2/27 - 3/5 so I voted March.

 

[courtneybeth]

May 23-28 and December 12-18!

So ready!

 

[skipfierce]

We are going in Nov for my 40th! Can't wait!!!

 

[loves to dive]

Driving down from Georgia, March 6-11, 5 nights/6 days. Usually do a solo trip first week in April for my birthday but my son said if I could go during his spring break from college he would go with me. Since we rarely get to spend time together, I re-arranged it for this year, still in F&G so I'm good. Split stay, 2 nights at CBR (subject to change) and 3 nights Swan (subject to change). I'll be back down at some point during F&W for at least 4 nights.

Well, this is clearly NOT a scientific poll. But I thought it would be fun to see how the plans of many line up.

I'm actually kind of surprised at how even the spread seems at this point. We'll see over time, I guess...
