Who is going in January 08?

[homeschoolmomof4]

I can't believe we're leaving in 3 1/2 weeks!!! We're staying offsite for seven nights from January 17th to the 24th then heading down to Anna Maria Island (near Sarasota) to relax for three days and visit my family members who live in Sarasota.

26 days and I had barely noticed!!!! Things have been so crazy I guess it helps. I work and go to graduate school at night (it's a program right in between part-time and full-time) and, of course, have the husband and the kids. My semester just ended a couple of weeks ago and I've been working about 50 hours a week since then!

I guess it's helping time pass. Good thing I made all of our arrangements some time ago...all the way down to the grocery list! The last thing I have to do is order DD5's birthday cake. (She'll turn 6 while we're on the trip.)

We've had a really, really tough year and we deserve this vacation. NOW I'm starting to get excited just talking about it!!! After Christmas passes, I'm going to start my packing list.

Wow! Sounds as if you are one busy mom! How exciting about celebrating your DD's B-day down there! Does she know that you're doing a cake for her or will it be a surprise?

We leave in 8 days! We will be a group of 9 staying at the All Star Movies. This will be our friends first time at Disney, and we get to be the tour guides. Can't wait! Merry Christmas everyone!

I'd say you're pretty busy, too...homeschooling four and I assume taking care of the house as well!

She doesn't know about the cake! I can't wait for it all!

[tinkerbell of winter]

We are going January 4th-13th!!! I can't wait! I need a Disney vacation SO bad! We haven't had a really long vacation to WDW since 2005. 2006 was a short trip because I had the entire family with me. (mom, grandma, aunt, cousin, my daughter and myself). Nine days at Disney will cure anything that ails me!

 

[mom_2a_sept_princess]

We leave on Jan 26 for 4 nights at the Poly and then 5 nights off site.

I am not sure if I will like the split, but we are meeting friends off site.

We are excited. We went Christmas 2006, and my 4 year old can't wait to go again in 31 dayas!

[Native NYer]

We're going 1/16-1/20!! We're staying at the POLY. It's my first time staying onsite and I'm sooo excited!!!!

 

[wdwiala]

Going 1/15-1/22. First time for DH and DDS. I haven't been since 1992! I am sooooo exited!!!

 

[minniemaura]

We leave for wl on the 17th to the 27th. I think I am more excited then my kids are. I hope the weather is warmer then boston (I am worried about getting out of here based on the amount of snow in december). My husband is flying back from sfo business trip into logan airport on the 16th (hopefully) and we are supposed to leave at 630am on the 17th. Keep your fingers crossed that the weather holds out for us!

In 1983 My wife and I flew from California to WDW for our honeymoon! Now 25 years later we're celebrating again. Three nights, four days at Wilderness Lodge, and it looks like the weather will be nice.

We now live in Indianapolis, and it's been VERY cold here the last two days. I feel a little smug, knowing that I'll be in 70 degree weather next week, enjoying the pleasures of Wilderness Lodge, Artist Point, a Carriage ride through the woods, and the best of MK and Epcot!

Florida here we come!

Anyone here that is going in January staying at the CR? If so, could you check out my question here please if you're on the Deluxe DDP?

I'm at WDW RIGHT NOW.

Me too...isn't the weather just perfect

Me too...isn't the weather just perfect

You can't beat it. We arrived just as the cold snap was ending and will be leaving just as the cooler weather comes back in this weekend.

I don't know if it "broke" 80 today, but I bet it was pretty close. And the humidity hasn't been bad, either.

I don't know if I can go back to CT..which has been warm this week (40's and 50's) but looks to head back to the deep freeze just as we get back home.

How are the crowds? We leave on 1/23 and are hoping for decent weather as well!

Saturday at AK and Sunday at MK...crowds were nuts...ESPECIALLY at AK on Saturday when waits for Everest were about 80 minutes and the walkways were a mass of humanity. MK was better on Sunday, but waits were noteable by the afternoon.

SINCE then...dead. Hollywood studios yesterday was relatively slow, and AK today was pretty much dead. Waits at Everest, when we left around 2 PM, were around 20 to 30 minutes. Everything else was practically a walk on. We're back at MK tomorrow...if it's busy, I'll let you know.

 

[HANDYMOM]

The weather forecast for this weekend (when we arrive for 8 nites) keeps changing. First definate rain, now 30 - 40 % chance. High 60's low 70's are fine for us, I'm just worried about 7 days of rain. Could some January regular visitors or Orlando area residents tell me what I should expect based on the forecast? Is is likely that the forecast will clear up quicker than currently showing???

Thanks
