***The Official April 2016 Thread!***

Joining in because we're going to be staying at BWV on April 4-8 (yay Spring Break!)!

We got some unexpected "pixie dust" in the mail on Friday....a unique discount code worth 30% off the room

WE DID TOO!! So exciting every time I get anything Disney related in the mail, but a discount code had me doing a happy dance. Although my discount will most likely only be 10% with a room at AoA.. every little bit helps

Our ADR date in the 26th. It can't come fast enough for me!! Once we have "Best Parks" locked in and ADRs made, the trip starts to feel real for me. I am bummed that Soarin' will be closed for all of us, but it does making planning a day in Epcot much simpler.

We got some unexpected "pixie dust" in the mail on Friday....a unique discount code worth 30% off the room portion at the Poly! It was valid most nights from Jan 2-June 7, 2016! I resisted the temptation to use "Disney Math" to upgrade to a Theme Park View room and might apply some of the savings to a "special experience". Has anyone ever been on the Wild Jungle Trek at the Animal Kingdom? So KEEP AN EYE OUT in your snail mail. Hopefully there is a discount code on it's way to you also.

Seriously so jealous! (but happy for you!) I want one so bad, as it would REALLY help us out. I got some trickster email from Disney Destinations that LOOKED like a pin code email, but was just the normal discounts. I about died.... I'm keeping my fingers crossed tight!

Just a heads up... I am thinking maybe I got a snail mail discount because my hubby had priced out a vacation in his Disney account and left it in his shopping cart, the mail was addressed to him, not me, but I am the one who actually booked this upcoming vacation and the one we took prior to this. Fingers crossed for you!!

I did the same thing! I went on the site and ordered a planning DVD, I priced out a vacation, I did everything. I am already booked, so I don't know if that matters or not.. I keep telling my husband to check the mail EVERY day. LOL

Just booked for my mom and I at Beach Club 4/20 - 4/23

This time around, we're going light on the ADRs because we honestly just want to relax a bit and not be so heavily scheduled. That being said, here are the ADRs we have so far:

We're driving in and staying at Boardwalk Villas (DVC). We usually only do one park per trip (with a few trips per year), so this time we decided to spend some time at Hollywood Studios since we haven't been there since February 2014.
Arrival Day (4/4) Dinner: Trattoria al Forno at 6:05pm
Tuesday (4/5) Lunch: 50's Prime Time Cafe at 1:10 pm
Tuesday (4/5) Dinner: Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater at 5:45pm

We may end up booking more as the time nears, but those were the restaurants we knew we wanted, so I grabbed them at 180 days.

I am sad about Soarin' as well. But also a huge Star Wars fan, so I am super excited about those changes coming. I recently got a Disney Visa card and now they are going to have a Visa character meet in HS with Star Wars characters (like they do in Epcot with other characters).

Still impatiently counting down the days to make my ADRs. 184 to go!

 

[ScarletBegonias]

I'm actually not too upset about Soarin' only because we are going just the three of us, and my daughter will not be able to ride, so we will just skip it this time! I love it, but it's not a ride I'm going to be really upset to miss.

 

[DisneyDreamer ♥]

We just made reservations for 8 for lunch and dinner April 20-23 and didn't hit any snags, except: Skipper Canteen (of course - reserved Plaza Restaurant just in case), and H&V dinner (which also is not yet available for ADR - reserved Mama Melrose just in case).
