Just found this

We booked our bounceback free dining ( fall break )

Oct. 3-13th(hope my dates are right Sat.- Tues. 10 nights)
POP
MNSSHP Oct. 6th Tues.

I have began my spreadsheet and plugging in the crowd calendar days as they become available. I love this part So far we want ( I am also excited to see how and if we will be booking online for our ADR's)

LeCellier L
LeCellier D
Crystal Palace~Breakfast
Tusker House~Breakfast
Sci-fi
Coral Reef
O'hanas
Flame tree BBQ
Earl of Sandwich
Rays Starlight Cafe
Pizza planet
Caseys hotdogs
Mexican CS in Epcot


I am really hoping that Disney will allow us to swap TS for CS during this time frame. We love alot of the CS places and not paying for the TS makes us feel like we are not losing our money or that we have to get every dollar out of the plan. I will book somthing to be safe.

Now, I really need to find a part time job by Jan. to pull this off. My DS will be a senior next year and hate to spend the money as I am sure we will need alot for him. I am hoping to have everything pd. for by start of school. I will plan and if the door opens we will go, if not we will stay home and plan for another time.

I also booked the bounceback when I was there in Sept. Myself, DH & DD are booked for free dining Oct 8-13th at the Pop Century. Very excited to get free dining in Oct instead of the past trips in August and Sept. We cant wait to go again even though we just got back home 3 weeks ago from a week stay!!!!

We have our trip booked for October 4-11th for my birthday! I am super excited and can not wait!!!!!

 

[GenieCat]

Will be celebrating niece's graduation from high school next summer, but we are going to wait a couple of months until the temps and crowds are a little more manageable.

This will be her first trip since she was five. When it gets closer to ADR time in April, I am planning to let her pick many of our restaurants. On the "must do" list is 'Ohana, Boma, and either of the restaurants in France. She has taken three years of high school French, and should be able to at least greet the waiter, if not order our meal!

I just realized that Sunday we'll hit the year mark. That's so exciting. Can't wait to celebrate my husband's and my birthday in Disney World and our first trip and our kids first trip.

I did it! I finally did it!! I booked the last week of October the 24th -the 31st. We are booked at the Poly GVCL. I really want to be able to stay there. My parents are booked there as well. They think they are staying GV, but I am trying to suprise them with paying for the extra upgrade. I would love a code.

We want to be sure to eat at Chef Mickey's, Crystal Palace, Le Cellier, Cindy's Castle, Kona Cafe...and possibly 9 Dragons. I am waiting for the reviews.

We want to do Fantasmic and hope to get an Illuminations Cruise in as well.

 

[Stephaniecmc]

We booked our bounceback offer the day before we left WDW! I knew that once I got my DH there he'd want to go back in a heartbeat...who can blame him with FREE dining???

Plans:

PORFQ: October 4-10
5-day Park Hopper
One day of swimming, one night of MNSSHP!!!!

Must go back to:
Teppen Edo
Big River Grille

Must Try:

Wow! Looks like October is going to be a great time for all!! Keep them coming.

I am looking forward to those palm trees with warm breezes, especially right now because it is soooooo cold out and I have to walk the dog.

 

[shannn]

WooHoo -- an October thread!!

We're booked to be there October 13 (my birthday) through 17. I wanted to go for longer, but our stupid school district cut our fall break from a week to a long weekend. (I'm a teacher, and I'll have 2 kids in school next year -- 2nd grade and Kindergarten.)

Resort: Poly Club Level

I booked the basic DDP but I'm thinking that I'm going to upgrade to the deluxe. It makes sense for us because we're only spending 4 nights in the resort but we'll be there 5 days.

ADRs I'm thinking of :
Chef Mickey's
Le Cellier
50s Prime Time
Brown Derby
Plaza
California Grill
Kona
Ohana (repeat)
CRT (repeat)
(all still very tentative)

 

[mickey2minnie1]

Sooooooo... All of my fellow travelers, what are you thinking will be the promotion for the second half of the year??? I am so hoping there is one. I would like the 4/3, but I am thinking that they may do something different.

We are still booked for the last week in October and I have thought out all of my ressies.

Do you think they will post that far in advance like they did this past 4/3?

Anyone out there care to guess or dream???

I'm really hoping to go Oct 09 but am not sure yet if this will work. We were just there in Aug (16-23) but thanks to TS Fay I felt that we missed a real lot. Don't get me wrong we had a great trip, but because of 5 straight days of rain we did not see Wishes, Illimunations, or Fantasmic. My DH is not a Disney nut like myself so he did not want to go back for three years. But even after this trip he was saying maybe two because we missed so much.

One of the things I really missed was the sitting on a bench & just soaking up the atmospere, kwim. This was kind of hard to do with all the rain. So of course my brain starts to thinking those crazy thoughts that maybe we can squeeze in another trip before summer 2010. My school district usually gives Columbus Day & the Friday before as a fall break so maybe we can squeeze in a long weekend trip. This is not always guaranteed (having the friday before off) so I kind of have to wait until next year's schedule is out, sometime in April, before I can really make any solid plans.

I'm not even sure if DH will want to go (me & the kids are off but he is not--so that would be a lot more time off for him). So that means it may just be me & the kids & I've never traveled that long &/or far with the kids by myself. There are a lot of things to consider before anything is booked. Right now I'm so excited about the possiblity of going that I know I'll figure something out. That's what we diser's love anyway right, the planning part. Wish me luck.

I really hope there's another great deal for the second half of the year. I'm hoping not the 3/4 because we can't go for 7 nights even if they give it to us. We're already pushing it to take off 2 extra days on our break (if I take another day off it will have to be without pay)

Another promotion deal would be great!!

 

[DisneyMagic06]

Going in October 09, for 8 nights going to stay at the POP.

Our son will turn 3 on our trip so we will spend a lot of time in MK.

 

[ToddyLu]

Dh and I will be heading back in late Oct 2009. He has to make his vacation out a year ahead. So we will probably go at the end thru the first week of November. I think it is fun to already be looking forward to next year since we haven't made this trip yet.

 

[tkitty]

Count me in! The plan as of now, is Oct 3-9 (a good deal could add a day or two) We'll be there to take advantage of the Birthday celebration offer for grandson (we'll take the gift card!)
CBR- always wanted too try it , and DD (28) and family are in agreement. Pirate room just may be a must.
At least 1 charactor meal (princesses or something with Mickey)- hoping they come up with a pirate meal-grandson would love it.
Not sure on dining (hope for dining plan)
Got to make it to Boma this time.
Hope to book soon. I get so nervous about making that commitment. I guess I just need to do it, and if a good deal comes out, maybe it will allow me to add nights, or add dining.
Crossing fingers that Visa or Disney make me an offer I can't refuse!
