We stayed at Coronado last year. It's a beautiful resort. I think the rooms at Riverside were refurbished last year.

I have tentative dates! So far, it's August 3-14. Art of Animation Lion King Suite. Now it looks like another SIL and her family want to come! So now we're up to 13 people!

Yesterday we decided to take the AK bus to Coronado to check it out. I couldn't convince my family to get off the bus. It just seemed way too big for our taste, so we just rode the bus back to AK.

I guess Riverside is definite for next year.

All up to date! The boards haven't been notifying me of additions to the thread, so sorry if it took a while for me to get you!

Really think of going this next August and staying at Windham Bonnet Creek, if we go it will be August 1-15th. I strongly believe we will also be going to sport stay at Disney staying on site Feb-March. This will make our family trip tight financially so WBC is our best option. Although I am longing to stay on site.

Hi! We are booked for August 26th-Sept3rd. We got free dining with a bounce back offer when my SIL was there last month. Staying at POR...first time there. Almost a year away but so excited!

Anyone have ideas for their ADR? Our kids will be 16 and 13 so the character meals aren't top priority...we will probably do one. Also thinking Kona Cafe and Tony's (?...little Italian restaurant in MK)

Up to date again, and welcome @Ngwira @eeyorepixie and @JerseyGirl

JerseyGirl- we've got free dining when we go, but our offer is for the QSDP at moderates, so we won't be booking ADRs for every day as we'll be paying OOP for them. I'm thinking one in each park probably... currently thinking:
MK: The new Jungle Cruise place, if we like the menu... or maybe a return to BOG for dinner.
(Plus whatever QS meals we can book at both those places- I've heard the jungle cruise place will be QS for lunch! Here's hoping, anyway!)
Epcot: TBD - we did Akershus last year and loved the food (lunch) but as they've dropped the Taste of Norway buffet of starters, all the value has gone for us. That was some of the best food we ate! Leaning towards one of the Italian places, but might try and be a bit more adventurous! Maybe Le Ceiller if I can come to term with the prices, and remember I don't have to order a main!!
AK: Tusker House. Lunch. Nom nom nom! Plus Donald Duck
DHS: Thinking the Sci-Fi Dine In- looks cool!

I'd love to do the California Grill, as I love sushi, but that's a no go for DH, so we'll see!!

Boma, Ohana, and Biergarten are on our top three, must do list for next year.

Dates are changing again! August 26-September 3 Just me and my youngest daughter.

Resort undecided, but it's between the Poly, the GF & the Contemporary. Waiting to hear back from our TA with a price quote.

My daughter wants the Poly again! We stayed there last August and LOVED it!

I'm actually hoping for a "magical" deal at the Poly for next August. If a deal comes out I may be changing my dates as well.

 

[hsmamainva]

Just got our quote back! And changed dates AGAIN!

Whole family trip is still on August 3-6 at AOA and then off site August 6-13 and then my hubby and boys are driving home & I'm checking into the Poly with my girls August 13-19.

Same thing we did this past August and we had a blast!
