Wohooooo! I just booked :)

After going back and forth and not being able to decide whether to go in February or May and then whether to stay at CSR or OKW I just booked 10 nights at CSR for May 2012 with free QSDP

Staying at OKW would have been an extra £200 plus tips and this trip is already quite a 'treat' for us so we're going to try the QSDP

So excited

We are going in less than 180 days, so I might book a couple of TS meals

Now I will have to keep an eye on flights and start looking at rental car rates as we want a car for a couple of days so we can enjoy shopping and offsite restaurants.

Happy planning!!

Being on the QSDP hasn't stopped me from starting a dining spreadsheet ;-) Trying to eat a large variety of foods and making the most of our dining credits.

QSDDP is not for us, we wouldn't be happy without a TS meal most evenings but there are some very good places to eat on it. Our favourites are Wolfgang Puck Express, both food courts at Port orleans & Mara at AKL.

Know what you mean we are the same but sometimes think it might be nice to just 'wing it' with CS meals - this time we are booking 2/3 2 TS meals so we can do a bit of both (winging it and pre-booking)

I love the Pepper Market (know everyone doesnt rave about it) where OP is staying.

Flights are booked and the Credit Card is officially 'off limits' until the next statement ;-)
Had a quick horror moment last night when the flight went up by £120 each so decided to book as soon as it came back down to the previous price.

Ended up going with Virgin Atlantic direct flights from Gatwick to Orlando for £530 each.
I wish I could fly directly from Heathrow as that's less than 30 mins by public transport from my house but even indirect flights were expensive.

I may have been able to get it cheaper by waiting longer for good indirect fares but I'm not good at waiting and really didn't want to pay more than what we're paying now.

So far I have only flown to Miami and New York with Virgin, so will be interesting to see if it's any different and why so many DISers rate them badly.
