we had to cancl our october trip due to lack of money

we are planning for spring break of 09 now... hoping (shhh) that the harry potter thing at universal will open by then

[wendygrace]

We're looking at going Jan 09. Considering POP. Anyone have any thoughts on POP in Jan?

[flminivanmama]

we love POP - that's where we always stay

OK, I know this is way too early to really plan much, but we're thinking about taking my son 12/2009. He'll be 2 1/2 then. What do you all think is a good age for kids to go? We would really like to go early December or after New Year's, whatever year we choose.

I'm so jealous of all of you who are planning trips now!

Jen - it's great because he'll still be free

Oh, Andrea. I'm sorry you had to cancel your trip! But you will have an awesome time planning for Spring of 09 and it will fly by.
I know how the lack of money seems to get in the way
My Dad is going to Fla. on business and if we end up going (which is really up in the air) we might crash with him.

I haven't heard much about the Harry Potter thing yet.. sounds interesting! When is it supposed to open?

[ollineeba]

Jen- I agree with Andrea. It will be great because he will still be free! You'll save quite a little bit there. And 2 is a great age. It bugs me when people think that 2 is too young but my dd had an absolute blast when we went and she had just turned 2.

We just made a different plan: Wilderness Lodge. We couldn't get Coronado Springs for all 9 nights. Well, I think we are staying at WL - going to book tomorrow.

Hello,
I have been lurking on this thread for a while! I am a total disney nut, and we have gone on several trips to Disneyland with the kids (about once a year). Our last trip was in August--and we have decided to go in December so that I can finally realize my dream of seeing Disneyland at Christmas time! I am so excited The kids are excited too--but I am probably more excited!

We are going Dec. 6 and 7th.

Do any of you post/lurk at the Disney boards? I have found them to be helpful for planning.

Take care,
Lisa

[splendid]

Going through withdrawal. Hold me. I miss all the friendly people I met...and I miss Epcot.

[CarolynnMarilynn]

We have over 100 days until we go - so excited and have planned so much. Too much waiting!

[2TooMany]

I've lurked often in this thread too. We're leaving tomorrow to go to Disney World! We're staying for 5 nights, at the All-Star Music. It'll be me, DH, our 1 year old DD, and my mom and dad. I think 4 adults should be able to handle one toddler.

To the previous poster who asked if 2.5 was a good age, I don't think there's such a thing as a kid being too young to go to Disney! Sure, they may not remember it, but they'll have a blast while they're there, and will love looking at the pictures in a few years. Plus, I love Disney, I'm not going to sit around and wait until she's old enough to remember it!

I just found this thread, and I had to say hello. I was such a Disney World nut as a kid! My parents took my sister and me about 7 times while we were growing up. I was always obsessed with the parks and even bought some of the hardback anniversary books while visiting. I got the WDW CD-Rom in college and used to love pretending that I was back in WDW! I talked two of my friends into going to Disney World for our spring break in our senior year of college (1999). We had a blast! January 2000 was my last trip there. My parents took my sister and me that year. After that I started working and then dating and getting engaged and getting married, and I just haven't made it back. I am hoping that we will be able to plan a trip for at least DH and me and maybe my parents and sister, too, in Sept. 2008. My parents tell me on a regular basis how much they want to go back. Now we just have to figure out how to get our schedules worked out. Until then, I check the Dis Boards daily to plan the imaginary trips that I am always taking in my head!

Im here! lol. We have annual passes and live about 15-20 minutes from the Mouse House. We go at least twice a month.. when we first moved here about 2 months ago almost.. we were at Disney twice a week lolol.. I love the place.. the kids love it.. dh hates it but only because i love it soooo much

[ollineeba]

Just bumping the thread so I can live vicariously through someone else
Is anyone going? We were hoping to go in December but things are so tight right now.. I'm hoping my Dad might be going on a business trip (it seems like a possibility) and we could share a room with him (free for us, of course ) but.. who knows.

So.. who wants to let me live vicariously through them and share some fun details?

[flminivanmama]

no big trip planned til april of 09 but I'm sure we'll go for a day here and there....

[dara00]

we're going in December and plan to go to magic kingdom and epcot. any great tips for us?

[flminivanmama]

how many days are you going for? how old are your kids? and is this your or their first time?

[Andiad]

WOW!! I had no idea there was a Disney-lovers thread!

We are actually going to spend Christmas at Disney-FL this year. We've been to Disney before, but never at the Holidays.
Any one else have past Disney Christmas experiences--tips they would like to share??

Thanks!!
Andrea
