BOOKED 2014!!

[disneygirl76]

Hi everyone!

WOO HOO!!!!

We booked our trip! I am SO excited!

I happen to have the day off so I get to spend all day planning planning planning!

Okay, the details:

Staying at Beach Club, Garden Room, from February 21st to March 1st. We have an 8 day MYW ticket with Park Hopper and the Dining Plan.

So I hopped on the waltdisneyworld.com website this a.m. and it only allowed me to pick room on reservations so I had to call. Which I never mind doing b/c for the most part, I love the cast members. And I talked to the most amazing and helpful cast member today! She was awesome! I explained that I tried to make the reservation on line and it wasn't allowing me to pick a package. She didn't know why but I am just assuming it is another one of those famous website glitches.

We were hoping for YC standard or garden room but YC is already booked! She said that she is getting a TON of calls from guests changing their room only YC reservation to a package. So next time, if I am ever waiting, I need to book Room Only for the following year when I can and then change it later. She did say lagoon/pool room views are still available. But I grabbed the BC Garden Room b/c it is easier to move up a room then down. So if we choose a pool view later, then we can upgrade easier then needing to down grade.

I nearly choked at the cost!! I always book under free dining or some other promotion and I am confident that they will issue a new special offer for early 2014 some time in late fall. But for now, I'm paying off a very large number! EEK! CHOKE!! COUGH!! My DH may not need to know this number! hee hee

Dining opens up for me on the 25th of August. So I will hopefully finalize the plans for that by this weekend so I am all prepared for the big date!

Congrats to everyone who is booking for 2014 today!!!!!

The count down begins!!!!

Happy Planning!!!

Congrats on booking your trip! I know how ugly those rack rates can look...especially when you've still got the 2013 rates out there to compare and contrast...but hopefully some good discounts will be released for your dates. Wild that all those rooms at YC were already booked up. WOW!

I know! It was crazy! And yes, hoping for that discount! Late fall is usually when it comes out!

I looked at the same thing and those standard rooms weren't available. Go figure!
Congratulations! Here's hoping for those discounts!

I know! The cast member was like they are all booked up! They had been booked up for a while, when 2014 room only rates were out and could be booked. People are now upgrading to packages. I never thought about doing that!

Normally... What days are those discounts? We are going in the beginning of January and a discount Any kind would be a score... What have they been in previous years?

Late fall.

Good luck!

And just added another night! My DH thinks I have lost my mind. I probably have. But I just was thinking, hey, leave Saturday or leave Sunday. Lets leave Sunday! So that is what I changed the reservation to. Now I really need some sort of discount! HAHA!
