So we are off to the World again in October for our 3rd trip. I call this "Third Time's the Charm" for these reasons:

1. Our first trip was to the Cabins. Loved EVERY minute of it. (hmmm, except maybe not the 18 degree weather. The rest was so good, though, that gets overshadowed) The set up with the bedroom was perfect for our family. (young kids going to bed early, or at different times) Loved being on property, having the dining plan, it all worked out for us. Problem with going back there: expensive for our family. We got the awesome buy 4, get 3 days free offer, and had a little extra money at the time.

2. Our 2nd trip was to All-Star Movies. Resort, busses, dining plan, all great. Great trip except one thing: I will NEVER EVER spend 7 days in one room with my kids again. Love them with all my heart, but 4 people in one room, two of those people 7 and 3 years old, was not a good mix. Bedtimes were a disaster. Mornings were a disaster because once one kid woke up, every one woke up, no matter how much sleep they had gotten. Three year olds need WAY more sleep than 7 year olds, especially after being at the parks all day.

3. Our next try to get not just a great vacation but a spectacular vacation is to try an All Star Music suite in October. I am hoping that have a bedroom with a door will help solve our bedtime/morning problems. Also, two bathrooms with be a huge plus. I am also hoping they extend the free dining, because that is what will cut the deal budget wise. We found a great place to stay off site that is a 3 bedroom townhome, but we like having the dining plan. We also love the magic at the resorts. We are flexible with our dates, so as soon as I see an offer, I am going to jump at it, as I know there will be very few ASMu suites available under the offer.

Here's our cast:

He's actually 6 in this picture, but it portrays him so accurately. Plus, I don't know if I'll ever see that mailbox again!
 
I'm in! I hope that another free dining offer comes out - I ought to go and look at the history to see if something might come out - when that might be!

Looking forward to hearing about the rest of your plans!!
 
Thanks for subscribing!

I too hope it comes out soon. I want to book our airfare before all the cheap flights are gone! I saw that the first week of July last year they extended free dining to the end of the year. I'm hoping that's true again!
