We're going to Disney World!!!! It's official everyone We're going to Disney World!!! We've booked our trip with the discount codes that came out Monday! So now the details!
Dates: March 4th-13 (That's 10 days
)
Resort: Wilderness Lodge Club Level
Tickets: 8 day park hoppers
Dining: Just the regular DDP
Flights: Still not booked
ADR's: I made 3 but still have 6 more to pick
Total cost so far (for those who may be curious): about $8,902!
Now it's story time. I left this PTR for awhile because I always seam to get it in my head that my trip is going to fall through around the time we're getting ready to book so I get nervous and tend to abandon my reporting duties. But now that the trip feels more real hopefully I'll stick with it. I'm not really sure why I ever questioned us staying at WL... I think I always knew that's where we would end up but I was worried because I knew the construction was making less rooms available so the visa discounts came out and we don't have a Disney Visa at the moment so I did lots of math and some sleuthing to try and have an idea what I'd be dealing with come Monday morning. As I was saying before I'd been researching CL for this trip priced out the WL CL and it was over 10,000 and I thought there was no way! But then the discounts came and brought the total to under 10,000 and I thought just maybe plus CL was all that was left at WL for the discount so we came up with a plan first WL, then AKL, and finally FW cabins. Well I logged on right when I woke up Monday morning and the discounts had gone public! But there was a new one the Gift of Magic promotion! This discount brought my total to under 9,000 I couldn't believe it! After adding Memory Maker and trip insurance it brought it back up but I was still happy! I'll probably pay for half the trip and my airfare which is quite a bit more then I was planning but about what I budgeted for. I was planning on paying around $4,000 for my solo trip but had budgeted for it to cost $5,000 so even though it's majorly cutting into my spending money I still have Christmas to get some of it back and 3 more months of work
. I'll be making an ADR post in a few days we're not commando touring People so I thought I'd take advantage of the IPO services and have them finish my reservations for me. And this is where you come in! I need advice on where to eat! What are some of your favorite non-character TS meals for lunch and dinner?

But I'm up for Dis Meets! So if you know you're going to be at WDW the same time in March I am let me know maybe we can plan a meetup. 
That really makes the trip a reality! 
I also really loved our BOG lunch. You will love the atmosphere and the food was good too! 
I am looking forward to reading your review when you return. 
Of course that is easy for me to do since I go only every four years or so and we have only been three times with my kids and I only two other times before that and one of those trips was when there was only MK! 
Wishes, you will love it. Try watching from say the Poly beach. 
You can watch them from afar, the noise level will not be too bad but you can still listen to the music that goes along with it with the speakers that are on the beach.
