Paid off the rest of the package today!!

Oh and just as an FYI, Fantasmic will be shut down January 28 - February 1, just in case it effects anyone's plans. Luckily we arrive on the 27th so we're going that night.

 

[homeschoolmomof4]

We will be there Jan. 26- Feb. 2. We are staying at the WL!!! We are going to PPP on Jan. 26!!! This is a surprise for DS5!

Hey there! We're going to be at the Lodge the same week!! We're doing the PPP on the 29th. I bet your DS5 is going to be beyond excited!!

Got AP rate on POLY Jan 10-14

AP's expire the end of Jan so figured 1 more trip wouldn't hurt. This is our "Adult only last hurrah Trip" before our first baby is born although we cannot wait to start sharing the magic with kids!!

Too excited to sleep, got to plan those ADR's so we can call tomorrow

That's great that you were able to get a discount this close! I remember the good old days! Back in 'Dec. '04, DH remarked right around Xmas that he was missing WDW even though we were there in October '04. With his work schedule I needed about a month so that he could be sure that the days were blocked. I first booked the SWan thanks to Bob at Dreams Unlimited for a good rate, then began corresponding with SUe Ellen at Dreams and she got us YC for $197 a night with the AP for the first weekend in Feb. Now I'm paying ~$275 a night with the general code plus the cost of the d ining plan for a YC room, three day tickets (park hopping and water parks included with the code). Total package cost for us and the girls 10 & 12 is $2800 for four nights!

We'll be at the WL from Jan 23 to Jan 30. Doing the P&PP on Jan 26.

 

[Keara'sMom]

We'll join the group! We'll be at AKV from 1/6-1/10, and we just got our ME tags and tickets from UT YESTERDAY (so exciting!)! My dd10 (turning 11 on 1/2) has no clue, and I don't think we'll tell her until we're on our way to the airport.

Yesterday, she said, "I wish we could go to WDW this summer..." We told her that it would be fun but too expensive this year!

I picked up all of our documents from the Travel Agent on Friday! We are ready to go. The kids still have NO clue!!! It is KILLING me to keep this big of a secret. They have been talking about WDW for the past few months. Hopefully I won't slip! I keep telling them they both have to make honor roll for the whole school year to go. I am such a mean mom!

Anyhow, headed to the YC very soon! We are doing a red-eye from California on the 31st so that we can spend the 1st day of 2008 in the happiest place EVER!!!!

Sounds like some of you got some GREAT deals. Mine wasn't quite so good. We have 4 adults (me, DH, DS13 and DS11) staying at YC for 6 nights with the DDP, and upgraded tickets and a Magic Gatherings fireworks cruise for $4000. Add in our airfare and we topped out at $5600. But it is all worth it, right?!?!? The kids can work their own way through college!

Now to just wait out the 28 days until we leave!

That sounds about like mine, 4 nights YC with three day tickets (the code)and dining was $2773.24 code was the free park hopping and more. That's for 2 adults and two kids counted as adults, no air fare luckily.

 

[earthfaries]

Wow, you all are making me feel great about my trip cost this year!!! The following is for 3 adults and 2 children...
I got 8 nights at Hapimag Lake Berkley 3 bedroom townhouse, 5 days tickets to WDW and 2 day tickets to SeaWorld for 1,659.00 Can you beleive it???
The townhouse is rated #1 out of all the hotels and resorts in Kissimmee , we had a 25% off code for SW tickets and got the
2nd day free and got DEEPLY discounted WDW tickets through Disney Youth Groups because we homeschool and are going to Disney Homeschool Days at Epcot in Jan.!!!

 

[judyk5]

We'll be there Jan 1-4. This will be our first trip to WDW in about 18 yrs and first time ever staying on site...POP. Have loved gleaning information from this board and the pro's.

 

[AuroraInPink1226]

Will be there with the fam Jan. 2-7!! Thats only 27 more days!!!

Ok, I feel much better now! I wish I didn't have airfare, but such is life! I guess the good news is I can't over pack (which I tend to do).

See you at the Yacht Club!!!

 

[disneykid4ever]

We'll be staying at Wilderness Lodge from Jan 8-18th. We have a countdown going on our dry erase board in the kitchen and my husband updates it every morning. He's excited to do the Goofy Challenge; it's something I could never imagine doing, but I'll be cheering for him!

I can't believe it's nearly here!

We arrive at AKL on Jan 5. I finally made ADRs on Monday and got everything I asked for - makes me hopeful that we may be able to switch some of them around if we want a little spontaneity. We've chosen Boma, CS to be determined, Artist Point, Kona, Coral Reef, Biergarten, and Grand Floridian Cafe for each day we're there. We're doing Sunrise Safari our first full day and the Epcot Segway tour the second day.

I'm the only one who's done any planning. Here's hoping for low crowds, short lines, nice temperatures, and no rain while we're awake.

We are hoping for low crowds, no lines, great temps, and a fabulous time as well. My honey and I will be honeymooning at AKL. We arrive on January 6th If you see a young couple wearing wedding ears roaming around AKL awestruck - that'll be us!! First time EVER at WDW for the both of us

 

[Keara'sMom]

Hi Disneymooner!

We'll be arriving at AKL (AKV actually) on 1/6 as well--in the early afternoon--and will look for your ears! We're also hoping for warm weather as well as low crowds. Best wishes to you!

Heh heh...looks like a bunch of us Dis'ers will be on-site at AKL around that time. My family will be at AKV on the 5th.

 

[Cyndibear]

AKV will be overflowing with DISers! DH & I will also be checking in to AKV on Jan 6th!!! How fun!!

 

[DISNEYmooner2008]

Our flight leaves from Charlotte, NC at 9:2something in the morning and we land in Orlando at 11:2something. I don't know how long it typically takes to get from the airport to AKL by way of ME, but I'm guessing we'll be there sometime middle of the afternoon. Everyone keep their eyes peeled for us. Like i said, Bride and Groom ears, LGMH, and awestruck faces!!!
