What Do You Have Planned for 2009?

At this time we are planning....

Apr 1-5 - trying to convince DH to stay at VWL :lmao:
Aug 9-15 SSR (gotta use our Developers points from our add-on):banana:
Aug 15-22 DCL- 7 night Eastern Tortola
 
Reading all these plans makes me wonder if any of you have signed up on Tripit.com. It has a feature where you can see who is traveling where so you'll know if your paths are going to cross at some time. Right now I'm connected to my family on it, but it might make sense for DVCers, too.

This is not an advertisement - I don't work for them or anything :)
 
June 2009 - Emerald Isle, NC - Big blow out beach week with my husband's side of the family.

October 2009 - AKV with my sister's and her family from NH for their first trip to Disney. :thumbsup2
 

I'm a teacher so don't normally do vacations during the school year but this year is different. I broke my leg and arm during our last trip to Disney in June and ended up spending the rest of the week in the hospital. It was just a clumsy accident, not ride related. Sooo, we are going back the last week of January '09. Staying at BCV for that trip.

Then we are going again the last week of May (school will be out for us). I'm hoping we can stay at VWL but can't book until December.

We want to make good use of the annual passes we bought in June.
 
We will be at AKV Jan. 3-7, just coming off DCL New Years Eve cruise:banana: :banana: . Then we are already booked for July 1-11 at BCV:yay: :yay: . And we are booking Dec. 1-15 hopefully at BCV pixiedust: pixiedust:.
 
We have April (Spring Break) booked at AKV. I've also given a honeymoon to friends for March @ AKV.

Right now, I've got a back-up ressie for the first of June at SSR - but I'm hoping :goodvibes to change the June trip to split trip AKV/VB/BCV.:goodvibes

I'm also going to try to get a sometime mid-late July trip at either VB or HHI. My dates are super flexible, so I have not bothered with an 11-month back-up ressie.

And although it's blasphemous - Right now, I'm planning to do at least a weekend at Gloria Estefan's new 5 star Vero Beach resort before moving to DVC - it's cheaper than paying member's cash and looks soooooooooooooooooo tempting.

(Actually, I'm trying to convince DH to take just me for our December anniversary :love::cloud9: ........I've got my eye on the special that includes a pitcher of Mojitos at check-in and breakfast................)

OMG,,,,I saw that resort!! Waterfalls and all! How is it that it is cheaper? Like what kind of room rates!!:thumbsup2
 
So far, we have Jan 23-30 booked at POP (weekend of course) and a 2 bdrm at VWL.
Planning on 7 nites at VWL Aug 22nd to Aug 28th, followed by 6 nites at VB from Aug 29th - Sept 3rd with 7 month window luck :)
 
Had to look up what Mojitos are... :thumbsup2 I'm not a real rum guy, but that could probably work for me. :) Mary Beth loves Gloria Estefan. Not sure I should tell her about the resort :rolleyes1

I've been told by bartenders that Mojitos provoke a love/hate response - but I discovered them at Vero and can't get them as good anywhere else.

Like, right now, a studio starts at 179.00 full retail rate. We paid close to 250 @ Vero per night with the cash discount last June. With the internet specials/packages, it gets cheaper. It's not much cheaper - but it would be a totally different experience.
 
We have booked AKV concierge level for June 29- July6 and we are hoping for a Thanksgiving break trip too!:banana:
 
Going with my best friend and her family for her first Disney trip 6/28-7/6.

I know it's going to be busy but I wanted to see the 4th of July fireworks at least once...that will be our last summer trip for a long time. Going to try other times of the year! :thumbsup2
 
Once we close and get into the system, I will try to book a week in June. Probably at AKV (I will start with that anyway).

Just happy to say that we've booked our flights for our March trip last night. We get to fly out of/back to Dayton. It wasn't easy since we're going different times/days but wanted to come back together (and still get a decent price)!

Well, starting Christmas 2008 -

1) VWL 2BR for Dec. 21-26 for DW, DS33, DD28 and myself. Plan to purchase AP's then for DW and myself.

2) HHI 1BR for May 31-June 5 for DW and myself.

3) VWL Studio for Oct. 4-10 for DW and myself. Hope to change to BWV or BCV at 7 months if available.

Plus since we're getting AP's in December, I envision a possible 3rd WDW trip sometime perhaps March-May time frame and stay somewhere cheap with cash. I love to get as many visits out of a single AP as possible.
