Also, Deb, I can send you a PM with some links to older 4-night Dream Navigators so you can get a feel for what to expect on the schedule for offerings. Look for a PM from me.

I won't laugh at you Deb cause I'll probably burst into tears when I walk onto the ship... and when we reach Castaway Cay... and when we leave Castaway cay and probably during all the shows.... and, well, you get my drift.. lol

Girls.....Less than 7months to go! We had a blizzard two days ago, today here it was 45 out...CRAZY!
The snow will be a memory by the end of the week!

Snow?? We don't know from freakin' snow!!! I know you got it bad up there in RI...we had 15 inches here.
I'm making WDW Dining reservations for 3 weeks from now, and dreaming about a cruise later this year, sailing on warm water with my internet friends...
You are clearly thinking happy thoughts, Diane!! Good for you, and good for all of us!!

We didn't get squat and I love snow, so I'm a little jealous.
I'm going to Disney on Thursday though so I won't complain.

OK, so we're booking our resort today (or tomorrow) we've decided to rent DVC points this time and the following resorts are available:
Beach Club
Bay Lake Tower
Wilderness Lodge villas
Boardwalk w/ pool or boardwalk view
Animal Kingdom standard view or savannah view
We've stayed at WLV before so I think we will probably be leaning away from that one. Also we're not going to AK at all while we're there so we may shy away from that one too because of distance. We will have 2 MK days, 1 MGM day and 1 Epcot day. Any opinions about these places, ladies? And where are you all staying?

I just booked a Boardwalk-view studio for the days after the cruise, so I recommend that choice, Darolyn!!
I've stayed at all of those resorts, and agree with your reasoning on backing out AKV and VWL, although VWL is certainly worthy of a return stay, you probably want to check out other resorts before you go back. I booked Bay Lake for the night before the cruise, figuring I'd make use of the Top of the World lounge to watch Wishes that night if I don't have a park ticket. Bay Lake obviously has great proximity to MK where you're doing two days, and if you like retro-modern decor, that might be your best choice.
Because my park days are after the cruise, I decided to go with an Epcot Resort so that I can walk home from the Villain's Night Out, or whatever it's called, at DHS on Friday night. I was torn between BC and BW, but went with BW because I just plain like that resort better! I've stayed in a garden/pool view before, but never in a boardwalk-view, so for the same amount of points, I went with the new experience.

We are not sure where we are staying. Hoping for someplace different for a change, cause who knows when my next trip will be
. We have been discussing WL and POFQ (even though we have stayed here before). Beach & Yacht Club reminds us of our home state!
I will book soon and hope for AP discounts!

Diane, I was just telling Jess that WL for 3 nights after the cruise, standard room is $1088. A studio at the WL villas is $658 renting points. We stayed in the villas in May and really liked them. And it's a huge savings vs the regular room in the lodge itself.
Ahhhhh, we're so torn. I was expecting MAYBE one property we wanted to be available, so then the choice wouldn't be so difficult lol but I didn't expect all these to be open. I THINK we are going with Bay Lake Tower for 3 reasons: One, we are planning on an early (8am) breakfast at Ohana one morning so being on the monorail line will save us some time getting there (rather than taking a bus to MK then boat or monorail to Poly) Two, MK will be the park of choice on departure day so we can walk back to the resort to wait for DME. This will give us like an extra half an hour in MK. It's not much but as well ALL know, any extra park time is good!! lol And three, we are thinking of buying BLT points from a friend of ours. So we'd like to check it out.
I would ask if you want to stay with us to save some money, but I'm not sure you'd want to deal with my Mom's snoring and sharing a bed with me!! haha
BUT - we should definitely plan some park time together, maybe some meals. We've already pretty much figured out what we're doing for dining. (What can I say I'm a total planner!!! haha) And we're torn between doing the Villains night at MGM or MNSSHP. They're both "scheduled" (I use quotes cause the schedule isn't out for Sept but the Halloween parties are always on Fridays) so IDK if they will change the Halloween party to a different night cause of the Villains night?
I'm staying until Saturday and there'll be an unused sofabed in my Boardwalk-view studio. Just sayin'. We could even try to break into Atlantic Dance--it's not the Wedding Pavilion, but what the heck.

I had this same question earlier. I really want to do the MNSSHP (never been) but but with the Villians was wondering if they wold change the day for the Halloween party to compensate. Oh, well, just have to wait until closer time then make plans.
You're welcome to bunk with me at Wildreness Lodge! Or anywhere else, for that matter.

Hi Darolyn!!!
Yes, Jess did tell me. The only thing is, its non-refundable. If they have the AP discount available the amount will be very close to what renting points will be. We need to decide and just book, for sure we will be going to Villians night at the Studios. Probably not doing Animal Kingdom since I will be going there in May. We need to decide what lunch/dinner reservations we want to do also. Well, at least the flights are booked!

I am definitely doing the Villains Night! Since I missed the 10 miler (and will again this year) so I need my villain fill! I appreciate the offer but I see there are a few others on the table and I just may take them up on that! Plus you're right...I don't know if I can handle the snoring! Ha! But we will definitely get some park days in together!
