The Countdown to 2013 - Join me! List Started!

[RyMacJ]

Good choice of dates

Good to hear! We're trying to get between Spring Break and school letting out for summer, because we definitely want it warm enough to visit the water parks (they're DH's favorite places). It will be the last vacation we don't have to worry about school schedules ourselves, so we're trying to make it count, crowd wise.

June 2013
MagicMia - AOA or POFQ

It can not come soon enough!!!!

I love the look of POR but all the mods look so nice. I am also wondering about the size of each and how the busses are.

What I liked about POFQ was one bus stop, then sometimes we would go to the many POR stops and pick them up, many times they had to stand. POR has many many bus stops. I can not stand on the bus, I have had to wait until another but when returning in order to get a seat on busy nights.

I have a back problem and walking, after walking in the parks all day is a problem, so being in a smaller resort is best for me.

We did the carriage ride and yes POR looks beautiful and I would love to stay there too. The sheer size is intimidating for me. Tho, it would be nice too.

My husband thinks I'm crazy for planning our trip already. Glad to see I'm not the only one.

We're planning to go at the end of September or very early October, depending on discounts. We're hoping for FD. We'll be staying at POR

It will be our 2nd trip. We went in September 2011, and I can't stop thinking about going back.

Hello Mrs Grumpy (no relation)
Put us on the tentative list for a Mardi Gras week stay at the Caribbean Beach. DW said she wants to go back then, since our city isn't having parades for Mardi Gras anymore (at least not this year, and no plans for next, either), so that would be a good week to go. Feb 10-16.

Thanks!

We're still keeping our same dates, 11/2 - 11/9 but pretty sure we're going to change to POR. Still debating AofA but I want to hear more about the bus situation there....

 

[Caitriona]

Not 100% certain on our dates, but I'm debating between Sept 15- 23 and December 1- 8 at either AoA (Little Mermaid) or ASMo.

Comes down to trying figuring out if I want to go to MNSSHP or MVMCP and if we want hot or cooler weather!

Hi. Can you change my dates in November? I'm actually not sure of the exact dates. Either the 1st, 2nd or 3rd week. We are really flexible. Thanks!

 

[Mrs Grumpy]

List has been updated!

 

[3monkeymomma]

Could you add me for September please? We're not sure of our exact dates yet.

 

[megveg]

can you change my dates? Im going in October, not may! I dont know the dates yet but its either the Poly or AoA Thanks!

 

[E&As Mom]

Hoping to head down in September, 2013 (at least that's the plan for now). Dates aren't solidified, but more than likely the second full week of September, something like 9/7 to 9/16 (gosh that seems SO far away!!). Hurry up already!!!

Want to start planning, NOW!!!

 

[sukaryan]

Add me! We are going in January 2013!! I have been saving for this trip for over a year and my best friend and her family are going with me!!
Can't wait! Going to be celebrating my 40th!!

 

[louey]

So ready to book!!!!! Hope packages come out in JUNE We need a countdown for that

 

[Rayvnn]

We are hoping for June 2 - June 7, 2013 at the POP.

We have never been to the POP, never been in June, and have never brought 2 kids with us. This is a trip of many firsts.

I can add my dates and resort! Haven't booked yet, but we're pretty locked in. May 4th-11th AoA Finding Nemo suite (if for some weird reason we couldn't get Nemo we'd go with Lion King. But since I plan on booking as soon as packages come out, surely that won't happen!)

POP is great. I loved it. I was there in June 2010 it was ok it was really HOT at times, so be prepared. The crowds were doable. Nothing crazy. But depending on the ages of the kids they will love POP too. My DD was 5 and LOVED it..... good luck...

 

[Mrs Grumpy]

Oh, I need to update the list! Welcome everyone. Will get it updated in the next day or two.

My son starts Kindergarten in the Fall, so now that he'll be in elementary school, vacation is probably going to have to be at certain times of the year

I'm trying to figure out when we should go in 2013. I'm debating between May 2013 or September-ish 2013.

In May, he'd be finishing up his Kindergarten year (they end in June). How is the weather and the crowds? We've never done May, but I'd love to see the Flower and Garden Festival.

September has awesome crowds and his birthday, but he'd be right at the beginning of his 1st grade year.

What would yall do? Should I consider other months as well? (Christmas season at Disney is my fav, but I don't know if I want to wait ALL the way until the end of 2013! lol)
