Hi,
we just booked a trip for the world for August 25-September 4th. I thought I'd post details as they develop.
since our december trip which I wrote a TR about, we have been tossing around the idea of going again this time with the kids. A few new things have been affecting our thoughts.
First is the crazy price they are charging for airfare nowadays. We haven't been able to find anything much less than about $4000 for the four of us. Now I am sitting on some frequent flyer points which chopped that in just about in two when we booked the flights last night.
The boys are now ten. We always have had some form of the dining plan when we went before with the kids. Last December we went without. We don't mind dining in Disney with a DP, and after that trip we decided that when the boys turned ten we would only get the dining when it was free. The free dining which opens up on the 28th of August was the clincher in choosing to go.
After booking the plane tickets last night we starting talking dining. We each chose our favorite place. DW chose Le Cellier and we have an ADR for the 28th. I chose Yachtsman on the evening of the 3rd. That leaves us with three TS entitlements. I get to choose one DW gets two, (funny how that works) For these we are going with new experiences. I have made my choice 50's PTC is mine, we have an ADR on the 30th. DW has chosen Tutto Italia for the 31st. We like choosing a couple of signature dining places, and eating at the resort food court a couple of nights.
We haven't booked our resort yet, but we will this afternoon. We will have to make this a split stay. Fot the free dining period we are going to stay at POR in the AB section, hopefully near the front of the resort. We have stayed at POR, POFQ, WL and BC. We have had this discussion many times, and we like POR a lot. WL is nice and so is BC, but considering the price, choosing POR is a no brainer for us.
for the 25th - 27th we are gonna try to get Pop Century. We haven't tried a value before, and want to give them a chance. Now we wont be on a dining plan, and won't have park admission for those two full days. One of those days will be spent at the Orlando Premium Outlets. DW and I loved our morining there in December. The other day will probably be spent at the pool. One thing we have discussed is going over to Kona for breakfast probably on our shopping day, as the kids haven't had breakfast there.
More details to come soon.
