Trip planning timeline??

[MCmommyto2]

My husband has agreed to a trip yo WDW next April!!!! He is a teacher, so we have to go during his vacation week. Now, I am wondering how to go about planning this trip for our family. My mom will also be joining us.
Does anyone have a timeline they use for booking rooms/plans/ADRs and your plans for your daily plans? I just want to make sure I leave enough time to get everything done and I don't wait to long-since I have a year and sometimes I can put things off!!
Thanks!

I would seriously consider using a Disney certified travel rep. They will do that sort of stuff for you when it's supposed to get done and it doesn't cost you a dime. They get a percentage of what you pay for the trip. So, either that person, who will do everything for you, gets the money or Disney just pockets it and does nothing for you... you have to do it all alone.

The sooner you get started the better, is what I'd suggest. Get your $200 down for your reservation and then 180 days out, your rep will get all of your ADR's for you and all of that stuff.
