What would be your dream trip if you could afford anything?

[Snoopymom]

I'm new here and I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'd love to know. We have and probably always will go to Disney on a budget, but we usually splurge on something special each time, so it would be fun to get some ideas.

We're not into spa stuff or extremely fancy meals so here's my simple ideal trip which isn't completely out of reach if we were to spread things out over a bunch of trips and years. Also, some are just a matter of having time, such as getting 3 yr old ds a pixie dust haircut in MK.

Rent a loaded Lincoln Navigator with a DVD player to drive down in. (Flying from Atlanta takes almost as long as driving.)

I'd love to go during the different times of the year so that we could stay at the Wilderness Lodge in the Fall, The Boardwalk Inn in the Spring, Port Orleans French Quarter in the Summer for the Dragon slide for ds and Animal Kingdom Lodge with a view in the Winter when the animals are active, (all during low attendance times, of course, lol). Also, I'd have to add the Contemporary for a night so that we'd have the experience of having a view of the castle from our room.

Park hopper passes, so I could finally see Epcot. We always have to chose 1 or 2 parks, and I can't seem to give up one of the other three, plus we're not sure if we'd like a water park, so it would be nice to be able to check one out and not feel like we have to stay all day to get our money's worth.

Hoop-dee-do, a fireworks cruise, and a hotair balloon ride if they're available.

Try California Grill, Bomas, Whispering Canyon, Flying Fish, Shulas, Donalds Breakfasaurus, Chef Mickey's, 50's Prime Time, Sci Fi Dine In Theater, Rose & Crown, heck, I'd like to try all of Epcot's table service restaurants, lol, Fultons, and Bongos.

I'd buy every character picture with ds, lots of Disney Christmas ornaments, maybe some tasteful dinnerwear and glasswear, a nice watch or some earrings, a few clothing items and Mickey ears.

I'd also buy little toys or treats to hand out to cranky kids. If I heard someone in a gift shop tell their child they can't afford something, I'd buy it and slip it into their stroller.

I'd also love to be able to pay for our parents to stay wherever they wanted and eat and do whatever they wanted (as long as they promised to babysit one night), lol.

Maybe, I should print this out and make a check list...wonder how far I'd get, lol.

I can't wait to hear all of yours.

Well, I'm not really sure what my dream trip would be. I've only been twice, with my third trip coming up in september, (the first one about 15 years ago when i was 6!!) I've never even been in any of the hotels or had a proper look at them. All i know is what i read on the web.

However, over the last year or so i have slowly become obsessed with disney and have now decided that i am definately, over the next decade or so, going to stay in every single one of the resorts. So, i'd better start saving !!!

I often daydream about this! I would have a limo drive us down from NJ (it would magically only take a few hours), and we would have fabulous cocktails and snacks on the way. We would stay at the Polynesian for a week, Wilderness Lodge for a week, take the 7-day western Caribbean cruise, then do a week at the AKL. Of course, we would be in suites with concierge service all the way. We would do every spa treatment at the AKL and on the ship, enjoy all our favorite WDW restaurants (magically, we would lose weight, not gain it), see every show and attraction and shop til we drop.

How much time do we get with our dream vacation????????? A month divided by all the deluxe resorts would be great.

Ever since I saw the first "Magical Gatherings" commercial I have been dreaming of this. I would love to get all of my and DH's siblings and our parents together for a land/sea vacation. We are spread all over the country and it would be so great because we are never all together. I don't really care about fancy stuff but as long as this is my dream we will all be staying at Grand Floridian for a week followed by the 10 day Christmas cruise.

I think my dream trip would be two weeks. The trip would include myself, DH, our two boys and my parents.

Fly first class, non-stop of course.

Rent a good size SUV for length of stay

Week #1 at the Wilderness Lodge, Concierge. Although in this cold weather, the Poly concierge sounds mighty nice too!
Week #2 at either the Beach Club Concierge or the Garden Apartments at the Boardwalk.

I would get annual passes for everyone, so we could justify coming back within a year!

I would make PS's at California Grill, Narcoosse's, Yachtman Steakhouse, Cape May Cafe, Artist Point, Whispering Canyon Cafe, 'Ohana, Boma, Crystal Palace, Teppanyaki, Chefs de France, and 50's Prime Time.

I would totally go nutsy with the souveniers. The last two times we have gone, esp the last time, I really only had a small amount to spend on souvenirs so I would make up for it this time!

And I would have a little bag full of the light up spinners or other simple toys for when I saw a child who needed a little pixie dust.

I would definitely do an Illuminations Cruise, and maybe take a spin on the one that launches from the Grand Floridian...I think it's called the Breathless?

I would take the Behind the Scenes tour at the MK.

I would keep my eyes out at dinner time for a couple who looked like they were having a fabulous time- maybe honeymooners or a couple celebrating an anniversary- or a family who looked like they needed some magic. I would pay for their tab anonymously.

For me it would be the entire month of December.

The first 2 weeks in the biggest 2 bedroom suite at Animal Kingdom Lodge.

The Second 2 weeks The Boardwalk Grand villa. Spending Christmas and New years there. That would be very nice!

 

[Stepharoonie!]

Vegas.

Every weekend.

Every month.

Every year.

Well a week at each of the deluxe resorts in WDW, conceirge (can't even spell it!) two rooms, one for me and DH, one for kids, to start with. Illuminations cruise, lots of food (and no weight gain) and at least a few days without the kids. I don't think I am the spa type, but it might be nice to try it. I know a massage every night would be good. Circ tickets. Dolphin swim (maybe a few times). All the tours. Then move on to DL in California for a week.

Five words: Eat my way through Epcot.

That's all I want.

My wonderful dh has planned my dream trip just by booking Poly concierge for Christmas 2004. It's been my dream since I was first at Disney as a child in 1972 to visit at Christmas. We're staying 8 nights. Sure a month would be terrific; a move to FL would be sensational, but to me, this Christmas trip is enough. Everything else is the icing on the cake. Come on Christmas!!!!!!!

The trip I just took.....1 week at a 2bdrm condo, 1 week at Beach Club. Just me and Cash the Wonder Dog. No plans, just sudden adventures. No time watching, no budget. Tons of pixie dust. Mounds of magic.
