two trips in one year...crazy???

[mom_to_2]

Ok...so I just got a pin for 40% off a wdw trip in December. We are going to wdw in March- can't wait!! - but are now seriously considering going in late November/early December for a 6 night stay as well...are we nuts?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

[~Kristina~]

Nope, not nuts. BTDT and trying to do it again this year! lol

 

[mlynn]

I you can afford both GO!!!!!!!!!

 

[Disneychix]

I booked the week after Thanksgiving with my 40% off and then booked for a long weekend in March because I'm sick of the cold!

Go for it if you can!

 

[mom_to_2]

That's the week we are looking at, too! I have it on a courtesy hold right now....

 

[J3nn78]

Not nuts at all.

We went in April 08 and again in Nov 08 and planning on August 09. So that is 3 trips in 16 months.

 

[jenb1023]

Nope, not at all.

We went in April 07. We had so much fun we went again in Jan 08. Then we couldn't resist free dining and took my parents in Nov 08 (instead of Spring 09 like we had planned). So that makes three trips in 20 months for us.

If you can afford it, go for it!

Nope, not nuts. We do it all the time.

We buy AP's and stagger our trips to get 3 trips per AP but 2 trips per calendar year. This is what we have done the last few years.

Oct 2007 (AP 1)
Jan 2008 (AP 1)
Aug 2008 (AP 1)- Long weekend trip, last minute with a friend
Oct 2008 (AP 1)
May 2009 (AP 2)
Oct 2009 (AP 2)- Long weekend trip, DH and my 5 year anniversary
Dec 2009 (AP 2)
May 2010 (AP 2)

So roughly every 6 months we go and sometimes we do get a quick long weekend trip thrown in. That is the one danger with the AP's though, you start throwing in those long weekend trips

 

[liznboys]

Nuts, well maybe, but you are in good company! We've done multiple trips in a year a few times now. Fun, fun, fun!

 

[mom2meiko]

not nuts at all - but you may have a few unhappy people on the boards if you broadcast it! lol. if we could afford to go more than once a year or now once every two years, we definitely would! have a great time and enjoy!!!

 

[dsnymomof4]

I don't think anyone on the Dis would think you're nuts - we all love Disney! Late Nov/early Dec is my favorite time to go - just went this past year and was so wonderful. Weather was perfect, Christmas decorations everywhere, special events going on. Book it!

 

[DisneyMomx7]

Not nuts at all - but watch all it still leaves you wanting more!

Example

2003 - one trip for 8 days/7 nights
2004 - one trip for 12 days/11 nights
2005 - one trip for 18 days/17 nights
2006 - two trips one for 6 days/5 nights; other trip for 15 days/14 nights
2007 - two trips one for 6 days/5 nights; other trip for 15 days/14 nights
2008 - 3 trips - one for 6 days/5 nights; next trip for 15 days/14 nights,
third trip for 6 days/5 nights
2009 - so far planned - two trips - one for 8 days/7 nights, other for 16 days/15 nights and I'm still hoping to sneak in a quick 5 night trip in September or October!

It's addicting!!!!

 

[mom_to_2]

I just know we will get lots of negative comments from family if we do this...our decisions to go in March I think already upset some family and I don't want to hurt anyone, but it is such a good deal and we just really love the trip as a family...plus did I mention it is a great deal?!

 

[james'mommy]

Not nuts at all. We went I think 5 times last year. I know it was at least 4 times.

 

[momtomatthew]

We went in Feb 08, Sept 08 (with Free DIning), going again in 3 days, Aug 09, and Dec 09... Who am I to say if twice in a year is crazy???

 

[miksilver]

Nope, not nuts to me. But I travel a lot... It's normal for my family to do at least one WDW trip and a cruise a year.

 

[LIBLULA]

NO!!! We have gone twice a year for the past 3 years!!! My family and friends think we are crazy! This year we are only going for 11 nights in Sept/Oct for free dining.

 

[DISNEYNV]

Maybe nuts to some, but not to most of us on the DIS! We went for two weeks in December of 08 and are going again in May I say go for it if you can. Those codes and discounts are hard to resist...LOL

 

[disney54321]

Lol that is so funny, i was thinking the same thing..if people will think we r nuts..we just went in June of 08 and r going back in March 21-28, 09..just couldn't pass up that good deal...this time we r only taking our two older kiddos tho (11 and 8) and they have NO idea! We are soooo excited we will be like 4 kids in the parks

 

[arielmomma]

We just got back from Disney last night and my husband told me to start planning a 2nd trip for September! We love it! Don't worry about what your family says or thinks. If it is good for your family - that's all that matters. Go have fun!
