Post trip blues, pre-trip indecision

[Halloweenqueen]

I'm finally coming down from my WDW high. The Photopass order is in and the suitcases are back in the garage.

We have always discussed our return while on vacation. Our vacation videos usually end with a child saying goodbye to MK and the announcement of our future dates. Not this time.

Moving from NC to WA has made trip planning much more complicated. And expensive. We want to go at least once in 2009. But when?

We have always stayed at a lovely vacation home in the past. Unfortunately it is for sale, so we don't want to get into reservation trouble if it sells. We decided it's time to go on site since we no longer drive to WDW. It would save us parking, rental car, etc. We could take advantage of the dining plan now that the kids are older.

So my question is...reserve now or wait for new offers in 2009? Go during free dining? Is free dining ever offered during MNSSHP time? Any deal rumors?

I would reserve now. I'd use DU Travel and they'll take care of applying any discounts that are released. They do it automatically which is really awesome.

They typically offer free dining in Sept. So yes, they do offer it during MNSSHP. It really is an awesome time to go.

As far as Airfare, if you can fly on a Tuesday or Wednesday you'll save a little money.

Good luck.

What Alicia said. Dreams Unlimited will keep updated on all the deals as they occur, and make sure you benefit from them. So, if onsite is for you, that's the way I'd do it.

Another option would be another home/villa offsite. Next time I'm trying Dreams Villas...http://dreamsvillas.com/. The owners are WONDERFUL!

I'll give them a call over the holidays. Thanks everyone!

we've been back for a few days and DW already told me we ARE going back in Sept.! So, I already started persuing it and contacted Dreams... still not sure the total, whens, wheres or hows. But our list trip was just that darn good.
