In December we'll be there the 7th to 12th. Just an extended weekend for us. We'd like the kids to see WDW at Christmas time, while they're still young enough to believe in Santa and to take out of school with much of an impact!! Looks like we'll get there the day after you!!

Cool. We bought into DVC for us, but with the notion of having kids. The kids part isn't working out, but we love our DVC. Maybe we'll see you around the pool

Currently 90 degrees at my house (California). It's 80 in Anaheim.

Well I finally made our summer reservations. We will be at SSR July 28 - Aug 2, then moving to RPR for that FOTL at Universal over the weekend (it's what DH and the kids wanted to do) before we head back to SSR August 5th - heading home on the 10th.

I did see today that the August Pirate & Princess Parties start again on the 11th so I just might have to add a couple of nights so we can attend. It looks like it is a lot of fun and the parade looks awesome!

What to do?????

Brrr! Sounds like you East Coasters are getting our weather from 2 weeks ago. We had and 70s today, but it is supposed to get cold again by Monday.

Thanks for the pics, tjhsr - I can't wait

LoriBell, glad you have your "ticker"! Happy Planning!

We had friends attend the P&PP and said it was great, better then MNSSHP and MVMCP! Sounds like you have a nice trip planned ..... 2 weeks of fun in the sun!!

We are planning to go to the P and P too. Our friends went just a week ago....and loved it. My kids are older but they still will enjoy it. I think since it is later in the day/night that will be nice since it will be so hot in Aug. We are going to SSR Aug. 15th for 5 days and then switching to BWV for 4 and there are 3 P and P while we are there. We plan on going to the weekday one. Can't wait to go home for our first time.

Just wanted to poke me head in and say that I have been back from my 1st ever solo trip to WDW and SSR is the perfect place for me!!!!! Well, I knew that anyway
Had to relax in that hot tub every morning...Ahhh...Bliss....
Hope I won't be missing SSR too much when I try OKW in May!

Athenna, welcome back! The 2 things I want to do in life are go to WDW solo and go to WDW with just the hubby and no kids. If you pop back in, give us a few details about your trip. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is curious about how it is to go solo to WDW.

We love our "Adult" trips with just the two of us. Even though we are going to the same place as when we take the kids, its such a different feeling and pace! Walt Disney World truly can be an adult paradise too!

That's all we take is adult trips. Almost, not everyone, I know thinks that WDW is for kids. That's when I hit them with the info. Most think it's MK and that's it. Until you show them a map, tell them about the science of EPCOT, the thrills of R&RRC, ToT @ MGM, EE @ AK. Then about the spa's at SSR or just the laid back feel of OKW. One of the greatest things of SSR, 5 minute walk to DTD & PI

We will be the happy couple with no kids, playing in the pool!

We are leaving the kids home for an Anniversary getaway!

More then likely, if you drink tea or coffee, we'll run into each other at AP in the morning getting our caffine fix!!

I hope you have a relaxing trip.

You won't be able to miss us, LOL! We will be the couple with a five year old princess in training, a two year old pirate, my 9 year old brother, my 12 year old sister, my mother, and my very LOUD stepfather.

This will be a different kind of trip than we are used to, but my family is VERY excited! If you see us at AP, say Hi!

I loved going solo!! I am an early riser, so I never had to feel guilty about dragging anyone out of bed at an ungodly hour.. My 1st morning there I was doing a power walk around SSR by 6:15 am, followed by a soak in the hot tub about 7-ish And I just strolled, I never rushed to get to an attraction...I spent a lot of time at WS in Epcot, just relaxing...I bench hopped instead of park hopping!
I enjoyed several performances of Off Kilter in Epcot...Had lots of people to talk to, while waiting for OK, while sitting on benches, etc...
Had a fabulous time, even solo, at the P & P party!! I am POTC obsessed, so I had a costume, accessories, the whole 9 yards...Met a lovely DIS'er to chat with while waiting for Captain Jack.
Sorry to turn this into a T/R, but I got excited

Anyone care to convince me that one WDW trip a year is enough for the kids and we should definitely take an adults only trip? I've been known to listen to reason.

I will!! I know that you posted this a couple months ago, but I wanted to add my two cents to the going without kids. DH and I went in December without our kids, and we had a WONDERFUL time. We stayed at SSR for the first time, and thought it was perfect for no kids. We loved being so close to Downtown Disney, and we were able to resort hop for meals, and we were able to walk around DD without the kids and have a nice relaxing trip. We relaxed by the quiet pool one day, and I'm not one to nap, but I took a nap by the pool.

I think when you are pregnant you notice all the pregnant women. When you go to Disney with no kids, you really notice the amount of people who go to Disney as adults only. SSR had plenty of all ages. It was great to see. We noticed kids on the bues, we noticed them in the pool, but otherwise, we felt right at home without our children. It is such a different atmosphere without your kids. And while I missed my kids, especially when we went on their favorite rides - I could hear their laughter and it made me sad, it was a wonderful, much needed trip for DH and myself. And, the kids will be going again.

Couldn't have said it better myself! It truly is a different vacation without the kids. Although I love our family vacations, WDW is the best for adults only too!

Just got back today. Had a great trip. At the beginning of the week the mugs were the epcot ones, but by the end of the week they had the taller ones, they are still not saratoga, just generic disney characters with the year 2007
printed in large numbers on the side.

Wow, it looks as if we really do need to add a couple of nights so we can attend the party. We have loved MNSSHP & MVMCP so I think this one will be amazing!!!!!
