The Official MARCH 2012 Thread! Countdown to Spring Break TOGETHER!!

[oopsiDAISY]

I feel the same way. Awwww I just want the holidays to pass. I know I know it sounds bad.

Me too!!! We got our Christmas shopping done, but Christmas just doesn't hold the excitement it usually does this time. We are surprising our kids, so not being able to talk about our trip at home is making it drag even more...

Are you staying at PO Riverside or French Quarter? It looks like there are three of us who may be at Riverside at the same time!

Are all 3 of us previos posters going to be at POR at the same time?!?

Are you in the FB group?

I know Im just counting the days too. Every single day I look at my count down and its draging. My boys already know they are all exited too, we talk about it, watch videos on youtube , and listen to Disney music everyday. We are staying at the PO French Quarter!!

I agree time is moving so slow... Once we get through the holidays things will start to get busy

Four months to go!!!

I'm glad I have the holidays to keep from counting down the days to Disney!

Has anyone else not told the kids about the upcoming Disney trip? And are you planning on telling the kids at Christmas?

I haven't decided if I want the Disney surprise to come on Christmas morning or if I'm going to wait until my youngest child's birthday (January 25th).

I am already counting days...127!!! We are also surprising our kids, but we are not telling them until they get home from school on the evening we leave! DH and I plan to take the day off from work. The kids will be dropped off at school and by all appearance it will be another boring, routine day with just 3 more school days until spring break....little will they know that DH and I will be at home packing for a surprise trip to Disney! We will have all the bags lined up when they get home from school. When they ask where are we going we will have a tote full of Mickey mylar balloons for them to open...SURPRISE, WE ARE GOING TO DISNEY...NOW!!!!! Then, we hit the road for an overnight 11 hour drive to our happy place. Let the magic begin...

Oh, I am so excited about this trip....can you tell???

Just booked our March trip!!! We will be at CBR from March 4-9! We really wanted either POR or FQ but they were booked out with the free dining for our dates! Although I've heard split reviews about CBR, we're hoping for the best! In fact no matter where we stay I know we'll have the best time!

Will you adopt me?

That sounds like a lot of fun! I'm looking forward to how your surprise turns out.

Oh goody! Another CBR March 4-9 person! It's the same resort and dates as us.

This will be our second stay at CBR and we're looking forward to it! I think that if you look at any resort, there will be mixed reviews ... but we're so looking forward to returning! Perhaps we'll be neighbors or chat at the pool!

We are planning a trip for March 3-8 we have not offically booked our trip yet but I could not help but come and post. We are booking in 2 days. Our kids NO NOT know. This will be the 2nd time surprising them. We did it last year too. Im so excited as a recent car repair threatened cancelling our whole trip but thanks to a family member mechanic we were able to fix our car for way less than the shop estimated. Yay!!!! I already booked my dining reservations

We switched to CSR. Kind of more our style I think. I hope we made the right choice....so many decisions when planning a Disney vacation!

 

[zeferjen]

We'll be there!

March 25-31 at the cbr. Cannot wait!

Ack! Well, I can't say I haven't resort hopped in the planning stages myself. We stayed at CSR this past May and it was wonderful! DH requested to go back this year -- but the kids won and we're at CBR instead.

Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with staying on property.

we are going March 3-11 staying at the CBR....it's our favorite resort out of all the moderates....we are taking our little girl for the first time...she will be almost 2 when we go...any strategies on taking a 2 year old? thanks

Hooray! Another CBR person!

I'm sorry I can't really give any good advice for a two year old ... I do recommend a stroller, frequent breaks, and trying to stay on a "normal" schedule with her (if she's used to eating at a certain time, try to plan for that -- same for other routines). Be flexible. And don't be discouraged if she doesn't take well to some of the characters. My DS (3 at the time) was terrified of the Princesses! But once he saw Donald, it was a different child.

We have settled on a time and place for our DISmeet!!

Thursday, March 8th

We do hope many of you will join us....now it's time to go get some of those LGMH's at Home Depot!!!

 

[mom2maggie]

Just saying hello! Staying March 4-11 at CSR - we are excited to go back there!

 

[Grendalynn]

March 25-31 at POR Here! I have been trying to add a day and check in a day early but the packages are full! We'll probably end up staying off site and checking in early, early so we can get a full day at the parks!??

 

[StitchsGurl]

My mom and I will be heading down on March 1st until March 5th. We'll be staying at POR for one night, then switching to Poly for the remaining time. We're staying at my Grandma's condo, and on Friday the 9th, we're heading back to Disney for one night at the Contemporary. I am SO SO SO excited!
