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

[Em61210]

OMG we are soooo getting closer! DH took me shopping today and we got new suitcases...airport friendly ones!!!! We haven't booked flights yet, but we have great luggage for the flight! Our old luggage was...well OLD! It was the big bulky rectangles that you have to pick up and carry! Now we just have to book those stinkin flights! Come on SW and give us a bargain already!!!

we are waiting on Air Tran as well.... bring on the good deals!!!!

We'll be there the 22nd-29th. We weren't planning on going until October, but I have a conference at the Swan for work. Kids are on spring break one of the weeks and will miss a couple of days of school since it is a across two weeks. How could we not make it a family trip? Only problem is I will be in meetings from 8-5 for three days while the family is out having fun.

I have a Verizon android. It's called "Disney Vacation Countdown" and you can find it in the marketplace, if you have an android.

Thanks! I found one. I have an iPhone so mines a little different but it sends me a reminder every morning with how many days are left! 60 DAYS!!!!!!

Oopsi... I was wondering where you've been... Glad to see you.

I hope SW has some deals soon, I haven't even looked at airfare in over a week... Any good deals today??? Usually they have their deals on tues/wed...

Awesome about the luggage... The girls and I got new luggage last year for our trip to Europe... glad we did, because when we had to walk 1.5 miles from our hotel to the tram, then from the tram to central station in Amsterdam - definately needed wheels. DH was a bit embarassed that we had to get pink though...

Just a photo of dd "packed" into the train with all of our luggage that day - to make you all laugh - it was actually quite embarassing...

D~

HAHA. That picture is awesome!


We just booked our flights too! We're driving to Logan the night before we leave and staying there because our flight out is at 6am! Now I usually dont mind early flights, I like to get there and get the travel out of the way, but my younger cousin didn't do so well with the early flight last year. She actually fainted at the airport and was sick all day! We're hoping that staying over the night before and cutting down on the car travel and early morning wake up will help her out.

Casey!!! You have been MIA on this thread for a while with so much going on with your girls. Welcome back! Glad you got your flights scheduled! Are you and your gang still planning to join in on the Dismeet at Yeeha Bob's? Look forward to meeting you all!

We are getting soooooo close!!! I am sure several of you have hit the 60 day mark! We hit our 60 day mark on Sunday...

Heyy! Yeah sorry for being so MIA. Between cheer and work I haven't had a minute to breathe! But I think things are going to settle down now.

I think we are going to do the Dismeet! Are you all bringing the kids? We will have two kids with us.

Definitely bringing my kids. Yeeha Bob is VERY kid friendly~ he pulls them from the audience to have fun with them!

My DD9 will definitely be there, not sure about DH and DS5. So bring the kids!

I'll see if DH and DS5 will come so your DS5 will have a playmate. DD9 will definitely be there with me.

I'm really wishing we could make the DIS meet up...I have a DD that is 9 also. I got a good deal on a flight, but we don't arrive on the 8th until 7:15pm.

Booo! That's too bad. Maybe something (good) will happen and you'll arrive early and can make the meet.

How crowded can my family and I expect 16-23 March to be? Any insight?

VERY crowded. You're right smack in the middle of Spring Break. Lots of schools will be out, and when school is out, WDW will be packed.

However, if you zig when everyone else zags, you'll feel like you practically have the place to yourself! A packed WDW can be feasible with a good touring plan and utilizing good strategies.

 

[OzFan]

We have never been to Disney in March. Our dates are March 8th - 16th, how will the crowds be? Just a tiny bit worried. We have gotten spoiled to light crowds.

 

[kristie73]

We've been to Disneyland, but this will be our first trip to Disney World!

A little late with the planning, but we are booked for March 21-27. I'm worried for the crowds but husband's birthday is during that week and kids are off for Spring Break. So I hope we enjoy despite the crowds.

We skip some of the rides because the kids aren't tall or brave enough so we'll avoid some of that waiting.

I'm worried about the buses and if we should park hop or not and how tired of walking my 9 year old will be and will we make the reservation or did we miss a show or when will we swim...blah!

I'm losing my magic with all this last minute scrambling planning. So I hope the crowds don't damper our plans and the weather will be awesome!

You'll be just fine. Take a deep breath, and get ready for a great time!
