Hello all! Im a self proclaimed Disney fanatic well, not just self proclaimed, my family. co workers and friends all say Im Disney Obsessed and Im ok with that!
We have stayed 25+ times since I was 4 and Ill never get enough, we use to come atleast twice a year but havent been able to come back in a few years due to health issues and things but YAY we have a countdown now...
SO far we have stayed at All Star Movies 2x (2003,2005) POR 2x (2005,2012), CBR(2009) BC CL (2012) CR (2011) All Star Music 2x (2009,2012) Pop 2x (2006,2014) AKL (2011) Poly CL 3x (2010,2011,2013) GF CL (2012) plus countless stays in DIsney SPrings and other offsite hotels and time shares when I was much younger.
We normally arrive a day or two early and stay at a Disney SPrings resort or close to DIsney SPrings, spend a day at Disney Springs to start our DIsney trip off slow, nothing like getting in the DIsney mood like World of Disney at Disney Springs.. We normally eat dinner at Trex but this trip we will be starting things out different!
Here is hubby Tommy and I in 2010
So I had been hearing for awhile about renting DVC points but for years I was getting amazing UOC from Disney and so we were booking our favorite resorts with 40% off Room Only codes so I didnt think it was worth it, well havent gotten one of those in years so I looked into rentals and wow I was thrilled with the prices! I was able to secure Villas at GF and Poly Villas our two favorite resorts! We just adore the monorail resorts I mean you really cannot find better views in all of WDW, the locations are amazing, the monorail transportation is so convenient and the rooms are beautiful! So Now I needed to book a hotel for outside of WDW for our Disney Springs day... First I booked Drury Inn bc I could get a govt rate, and they have free parking and free meals, then I ended up getting an SPG Amex card so I booked a room at the Dolphin for two nights before but then I was reading about incredible Dolpin rates on hotwire... SO I pulled the trigger and thankfully got 2 nights for less than 1 night of what I would have paid through the spg site! So Im so super excited but Good Lord I was scared when I clicked submit and waited to see if I had really got the Dolphin or not! Im so thrilled as Ive always wanted to stay here but we are such big fans of the DDP we never did.
So we will leave after work on Sept 7 and drive from SC to Orlando to check into the Dolphin
Then on Sept 9 through 12th we will be at VGF
Then 12-16th at PVB
Now with everything booked it was time to do one of my most favorite things in the world besides GOING TO WDW.. PLANNING IT ALL OUT!
