So, I am at dangerously high levels of WDW withdrawal....like bad! April 2013 was our last time there and I'm used to once maybe even twice a year. The Disney crack has me in bad shape! So, my hubby and I booked a week for us and our DD for this past March at AKV. Then....
Cancelled!
Turns out we decided to buy a house that month
So I guess that took priority, lol!
Next, we decided to book a 2BR villa at AKL for October and take some good friends. Everything was booked, dining and all. Then....
Cancelled!
They decided they really couldn't spend the money as a family of five this year.
Next, hubby and I decided to try the free dining plan, which we've never done since we are DVC and always go on our points. We booked a week for December at CB. Had dining all booked and all. Then...
Cancelled! It was my decision this time. See, we had a lot of DVC points we had used on the 2BR AKV and our plan was to rent them out after we cancelled the trip with our friends and do December with the free dining. A little nagging voice inside of me wouldn't stop reminding me of how badly I wanted to use MY points!!! Not rent them out! So...
Rebooked!!! We split our points up and made our fourth AND fifth reservation of the year! We decided to go down to WDW for 2 nights arriving Oct. 12 staying at VWL and just hit up MNSSHP (my MIL will be with us and and that's pretty much enough "park" for her!) then we will be heading to Vero Beach for 4 nights! THEN, we have 7 nights booked at AKV for January 3-10 for just me, DH and DD! Perfect!
I know this is the right decision because of course I was excited about Decembers booking, but I had a lot of nagging issues. I didn't like taking my DD out of school before Christmas break because she would miss all their holiday fun. And I hated the price! I'm spoiled not having to pay nightly for our DVC rooms, so we get away with our week at WDW not being too ridiculously expensive. Looking at the room rate I was going to be paying made me a little apprehensive! Plus, now I get two vacations out of the deal!!!
