Hi everyone,
I'm absolutely new in the Disney World topic. Never been there.
I'm planning a trip to Florida in Jan/Feb next year and thought, 'well it could be nice to visit Disney for 1 day'. Ahahahaha... big laugh.
Then I started to read about Disney World... my first thoughts where kind of 'what the hell' 'people write books about planning a trip to Disney World - are they kidding?' 'HOW big is this?' - and after reading and reading I ended with something like 'oh I want to stay the whole 21 days here'.
Thanks to internet, and after hours and hours (days) I spent reading about Dining Plans, Fast Passes, Resorts, onsite off site and so on; I feel that I now know a little bit what I would like to do...
And that's where I need some input if this is manageable at all - because I've already learned, that I'm quite late in planning my trip.
I would like to rent DVC points and to split my stay because, I'd love to see AKV but I've also learned that they are quite far away from everything, so I'd like to stay at something more in the middle like BCV.
I looked at David's rental pages and the prices are great compared to booking with Disney... (even compared to booking with Disney uk including Dining plans - I already thought about Dining Plan, but I think it 'forces' one to eat more than necessary).
BUT - is there even a slight chance of availability?! - I read that most people book about 11 months in advance?!
My Disney 'dream' vacation:
1 week BCV followed by 1 week AKV (or even splitting between 3 resorts?! or is that too much? (Thinking about BLT as 3rd option))
And 1 week spending before and after Disney driving through Florida (maybe including a wedding on the beach - another 'small' project besides Disney planing).
We are me (38), my (not yet) husband (40) and our 6 year old son.
My time frame would be 3 weeks between Jan 25th and Feb 21st (but I learned from crowd calendars that Feb will be busy after about 10th Feb).
Your thoughts?
ANY input is valuable for me, because every night I'm sitting with lots of question marks in my head in front of my desktop.
Thanks a lot,
Best Regards,
Heidi from Austria
