Pre-Trip Think the undoable and do the unthinkable

I have some great news! Last November we decided not to go back to WDW in October 2015. The flights from Amsterdam to Orlando were much more expensive so we decided to postpone it to 2016. Maybe some short trips to DLP and a summer vacation in Southern Europe was what we wanted to do!

But when we got married in 2010 we said that in the year we are married 5 years we go to Florida!

Then we try to find a decent summer vacation and well.... when we compared it to the prices we have to pay for a WDW trip in October.....

So we thought, what the heck! Let's do it! And do it even better than last October! Let's go into a Disney hotel! And we are married 5 years by the time we are in WDW!

So guess what, we booked our trip for October 2015! WDW here we come again! We booked a room in the All Star Movie Resort from October 16th until October 24th

Update 02-02-2015: When we booked the trip we tried to book a room in the Port Orleans French Quater, but it was all fully booked. But last Friday I found out that the resort was open for bookings again. So I called the travel agency and guess what?? We upgraded to Port Orleans!!!!!!!

Update 24-06-2015: Guess what We booked another WDW trip! October 2016 will be the second future visit!! And with a lot of advantages 200$ gift card, free Memory Maker, Ultimate tickets for 14 days for the price of 7 and a free dining plan! And this time we are staying at Port Orleans River Side!!

Who:
Me, my wife Ria and our daugther Sacha (last time we went with a group of 7, now just our family)

When:
October 16th - October 24th (so we can go to the Not So Scary again!)

Where:
Port Orleans French Quarter

So from now on I will keep you informed when there is news from this side of the ocean!

We are really thrilled we are coming back to WDW! The feeling is very good but is getting better by the day!

(I'm writing this partly in English and Dutch because I want to practice Yes I'm weird ) I'll be there the week before you, and we're also staying at POFQ for part of our trip! Ik zal ook op POFQ zijn de week voor jou! Ik hoor dat het heel mooi is, dus ik kan niet wachten! There is only one party on October 31st. It seemed fun, but I was disappointed it was the only one! Er is slechts één partij op 31 oktober. Vorig jaar leek me het leuk, maar ik was teleurgesteld dat er slechts één was! I love the Efteling! I went there last year on the first day of Winter Efteling, and I really want to go back! I didn't get to ride De Vliegende Hollander or Pirana, since they were closed for winter. Plus I want to ride the new Baron 1898! Ik hou van de Efteling! Ik heb er vorig jaar geweest op de eerste dag van Winter Efteling, en ik wil heel graag terug! Ik heb niet gereden de Vliegende Hollander of Pirana, want zij waren gesloten voor de winter. En de nieuwe achtbaan Baron 1898 ziet er geweldig! Veel plezier! I hope you get all the fastpasses you want!

hej thanks for the reply, and I will do it only in English Great that you are staying in POFQ as well We already know that we will stay in PORS in 2016 And I totally agree that it is disapponting that in DLP there is only one night for Halloween although there is a period of time that the park is themed in Halloween style Great that you also love the Efteling. We will be there on July 18th So we probably will ride the new Baron 1989 ride But I am not sure if I dare

Have fun as well and enjoy the pre feelings!!

That's a pretty great deal, don't forget tho DLP is going through a lot of work atm.

Yeah there is a lot of work in DLP and I think even more in November, so we are not sure yet of we will do it

 

[FlaggNL]

And there it is Both trips are into My Disney Experience!! So still counting down with 105 nights to go for the first trip!

As much as i want to visit DLP, just to experience it as it is the closest slice of Disney avail i shall prob wait until 2017 when everything is done and finished

 

[BuddyThomas]

I totally agree with that and it seems like we won't be in DLP before 2017. So we just have to deal with WDW the next 2 years LOL

 

[FlaggNL]

Sounds great! Looking forward to reading your report!

Thanks! And there will absolutely be a TR, just like our prior trips to WDW (1) and DLP (a couple)

I can understand! From what I saw in youtube it looks more than great! The giant screen and the walking inbetween is so great! the sound is more than perfect the way they use the venues! And you got 'the Crystal Ballroom'!!! Hope they will play it in Amsterdam! Great setlist.. only still have problems with Still haven't found as closer of the show! Sometimes they also with One or with '40'. So I hope for at least one time '40' in Amsterdam! So now you are looking forward for the MSG show Off course we would like to see some pictures

From what I saw in the setlist it was a great setlist! Raised by wolves is one of my new favorites! And maybe the quality is not that good but great to see show pictures from Boston
