Congrats to all those that have booked recently and are planning for April 2016!!!! Just waiting on Jetblue to book my flights.... and stopping here to say hello!

Do you know when Jet Blue releases the next block and through what date??

I looked back and I have always booked my end of April flights at the end of August or early September.

Woo, okay, I think I'm officially caught up with dates at the beginning of the thread. Just double check for me!

Booking my package tonight for April 19-26th club level at Coronado Springs. I will be there for my 30th birthday and I'm so excited. Was in the world last year at the Grand Floridian but have never stayed at a moderate before. .

Congrats! I've never stayed at Coronado but I do like the moderates.

I have a ticker!!!!! I haven't had one in a whole month, I've never gone that long without one, hahaha!!

So glad that my family decided to head back again in April 2016 (we were just there this past April)!!!!

It will be DH and I and our 3 kiddos who will be 11, 9, and 15 months old at the time of travel. Our dates are 4/23 - 5/1 and we are doing 2 nights Disney (resort TBD, but likely BWI) then a 4 night cruise on the Dream, and then 2 more nights at Disney (resort TBD, but likely AKL)

So excited to get the planning started!!! The only thing booked so far is the cruise...

Yay! That sounds like so much fun! I hope to do the cruise someday.

ooh i am super excited! just booked the coronado springs resort, business class for two weeks beginning the 28th of April!! i originally booked the animal kingdom, standard view, but just wasn't feeling it. excited for lounge access, as it means we can grab breakfast in the mornings and not have to pay. we are also on the regular dining plan.
This will be my first trip to disney world, and i am taking my mother! we had so much fun at Disneyland last year that i had to make this happen!!!!
can't waiittttt

Welcome! And congrats on it being your first trip! I think I got your dates right but just double check the end date so I can make sure it's right

I've been under the weather but we've been forced to push our trip back to November 2016-January 2017.

Oh no, that stinks! I hope you feel better!

Add me to The list. Just switched my reservation from the Poly to the Contemporary for April 15-18, then moving offsite for 5 days. My husband can't take too much disney so I have to split up our trips.

Added!

Just booked today!!!!

April 23rd - May 1st

Art of Animation - Little Mermaid

Just me and my youngest daughter!

Welcome! I added you to the list!

I am officially Booked! Honestly It can't come soon enough...

I don't have the answer on hand but I believe it's middle of next month if I remember from past years

 

[momtwoboys]

JB is extending on July 8th!!! be ready!

I'm now thinking about switching back to the Poly. I can't make up my mind! I love the way the Poly looks, but I love the convenience of the Contemporary. Confused.

JB is extending on July 8th!!! be ready!

Do you know through which dates? Probably only halfway through April I'm thinking....

 

[momtwoboys]

through may 2 or 3rd!

 

[Anri]

Staying at Grand Floridian April 16-23. Just my mom and I. Haven't stayed at a Deluxe in many years, so very excited!

 

[Mousemommy1]

I'm anxiously waiting for these JB fares to be released. I really hope they aren't sky high. When we went in April, our
3 month old was a "lap child" and I am soooo not doing that again. We will be buying him a seat. So 5 seats.

Praying for decent fares!!!

 

[Mousemommy1]

Well, 2 out of 3 portions of our trip are booked!! Our cruise was booked awhile ago, and I just booked our 1st 2 nights of the trip at AoA in a LM room!!! I think it's going to be cramped with 5 people (1 is an infant) but we will be going to an even smaller room on the ship so I think it will be OK.
Now, I need some word on the military discounts for 2016 so I can book AKL CL for our last 2 nights!!!! Trip is coming together nicely!!!

 

[UpstateMick]

Add me and my family to the list. Booked for POR Alligator Bayou...April 21st through May 1st. Waiting for JetBlue. Heard a rumor it opens tomorrow! SWEET!

 

[Mousemommy1]

Ugh and JB booking has been down all morning....

 

[mom4praise]

Southwest will be releasing through April 11 on August 11 - doesn't help me yet, I need April 22.

 

[coloredimage]

Hey just so you guys know I'll be away starting next Friday evening (the 17-31, then the 9-14) I'll try to pop in from time to time but things may not get updated (my iPad does not like editing the front page lol) just so you all know!

I can't get past February on the JetBlue website at the moment

 

[Mousemommy1]

Booked our airfare on JetBlue and got really good fare - $1301.00 for 5 of us - RT and non-stop!!! So excited.

@coloredimage -- use Google Flights to find airfare...I had never heard of it and it literally saved us over $1000!!!

Mousemommy1... Learned of GoogleFlights today and did the very same thing! Went from $1850 for three of us to $778 for the EXACT SAME FLIGHTS! Needless to say, today is a GREAT day! Thanks to all the fellow Disers for great advice, heads-up, and directions. See you all in April ✌

 

[Andrea1973]

Staying at the All Star Music. Be there April 12... whoo hooo...!!

I just changed my trip (again!) to April. We have so many expenses, there just wasn't any way we would have been able to get park tickets if we had kept our November booking.

Please keep your fingers crossed this trip will actually happen!

 

[coloredimage]

Keeping my fingers crossed for you, Napria!
