Mrs. Grumpy, I added another night to my resort stay. Now, we're staying from the 5th - 10th.

 

[Eli's 1st trip]

I don't know about all of you but I am getting really anxious to book. Really hope they release the packages in June this year like they did last year. If so I could have a trip booked in 2 months!

Tell me about it! I am so tired of putting in pretend dates and getting pretend prices and pretend thinking about what I'm going to do/plan.

I wanna for real plan!!

Come on June/July!!!

DH gave me 10 min of serious Disney discussion (without rolling his eyes)!
So, we’ve had to make some slight changes…

- Dining Plan is a must for DH…so looking to do a split stay at AOA or Pop and CR. The Dolphin/CR split is out. I really like the LK Suites at AOA but was disappointed that there was no pool in that complex. May have to consider the Nemo suites. Can’t wait for more AOA pictures to start coming out!

- Slight date change…DH is a teacher and wants to be back before the last week in August. So dates are now Aug 11-21. Might I dare say that 2 weeks is too long??!! I’ll have to reconsider the dates once I start crunching the final numbers. Definitely want to be in Disney more than 7 days this time around.

- DH was ambivalent in doing the Wishes Dessert Party again. It was a good experience but wanted to watch Wishes from Main Street next time around. I have to agree!

- Ohana must be booked more than once!

- DH wants the deluxe DDP again. I thought it was too much food and should just go with the regular DDP. I think I’ll just put the difference on a Disney Gift Card to see how much we dip into it. I want to eat more snacks along the way…last time I was generally too full to partake in snacking as we toured the parks.

Really hope packages and 2013 pricing comes out in June!

Hi everyone!!
We are tentatively planned for Febrauary 19-March 1, 2013. We are planning on staying at POFQ. We are so excited! This trip has been rescheduled twice now lol.

I say tentatively because we have a little one due in December and it all depends on his/her ability to travel. If we have to wait a bit longer we will go in the fall. But our fingers are crossed for a late winter trip!

Can't wait to hear about everyone's plans!

 

[spartankid34]

Yeah!! Glad I found this thread...I'm not the only one planning ahead Haven't booked yet, but planning a DCL/WDW trip in August 2013. Tentative plans are to be at POP Aug. 15-23!!

 

[Mrs Grumpy]

Sorry everyone I am behind on updating the list again. Promise I will get to it. Probably Tuesday when I have the afternoon off.

Glad to have everyone join us!

 

[JustMinnie]

Right now I'm planning on going in May, the 18th to the 25th, but may change it to September. Gives me longer to save up.

 

[nvsnot]

Made another change to our trip plans ...

My mom and I decided to cancel the cruise and extend our resort stay. So, now we are going May 1 - May 10th .

This is my final change unless discounts become available and we're able to upgrade to deluxe or the Royal Guest Room isn't available for the discount offered.

 

[2Pirates2Princesses]

I really want to aim for May 2013. DH would like to experience Star Wars Weekends and I wouldn't mind catching at least the tail end of the Flower & Garden Festival over at Epcot. Please put me down for May 18th-May 26th. We are interested in staying either in a family suite over at the Art of Animation resort or renting a condo over at Wyndham Bonnet Creek depending on if my parents join us on our next trip or not Thanks

September 19th-25th at POR - Royal Guest Rooms (Hopefully with FD)
and then onto Sea World September 26th-28th

 

[Dismom55]

We are aiming for 28 Sept 2013 for our arrival, not sure what our departure date will be, most likely will be staying 11 nights. Can not wait.

 

[taymacsmom]

Not sure of the exact dates yet. Hoping for some kind of discount/code. But we are definitely in for August 2013! As soon as we have dates mailed down for sure, I will let you know

 

[RyMacJ]

We're definitely in for May 2013. Probably the first week. Can't wait to book!

Good choice of dates

 

[Mrs Grumpy]

Glad I found this post. I'm going February of 2013. Probably staying at either Akl or YC, I'm really torn.

Wow! Lots of people joining us! I think I have everyone added. If I missed someone or don't have something correct just let me know!

I keep changing how I am going to book. AOA looks so cool. I really want to stay there but we also want to try a moderate. We have always stayed at POP in the past. At this moment (and it will proably change again tomorrow ) I think I will book AOA and it a great discount comes out (hoping for free dining once again) then we will upgrade to POR.

I am right there with you about changing my mind about how I want to book. I am certain about the dates, but where we are going to stay is a different story. After doing some research I have some uncertainty about my Wyndham Bonnet Creek rental options; but I still really want us to stay there because of the location. I am also researching some options for renting a condo or townhouse over at Windsor Hills; but I am keeping my eyes open and not ruling out the possibility of great deals for other places becoming available too. I am hoping Disney will release a nice discount promotion for May 2013 so that staying onsite won't cost our family of six a small fortune So, I'm not 100% sure about where we are staying just yet, but I'm excited about the possibilities

 

[Dismom55]

We are sort of in the same boat, almost certain we will stay in a moderate, tho we really would love to stay in AOA, just think since we are all adults now that we really want to stay where it will be more quite. The debate is which moderate. Last time we stayed on POFQ and since it is smaller and I have troube getting around that suites me just fine, my daughter however wants to stay and explore another moderate, just they all seem so large. But we have some time to hash it out and make up our minds.

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.
