Hope this trip is better than your last trip.

| 336.2 | Another distant reservation | MAGEE::GIBSON | | Fri Feb 26 1993 15:51 | 24 |
| Couldn't stand it any more, so just had a chat with the CRO.
When: March 19th - 26th, 1994 at WDW, a few more days with relatives
in Naples (unless the -itis gets me and we go sooner)
Who: Myself and Peter (husband) - friends may join us with their
teen-agers
Where: Port Orleans, requested room 5301 (3rd floor, king-sized bed,
corner room, overlooking the jacuzzi)
How: Air somehow (whatever airline has the best price at the time)
probably into Tampa
Last trips: 12/89, 5/90, 12/91
Why: Will be over two years since last trip. Want to hit at least
one Red Sox spring training game in Fort Myers while visiting
in-laws in Naples. Tampa is a good compromise for arrival/
departure and car rental reasons.
Besides, reading this file lately has given me the -itis
worse than ever!

| 336.3 | One year to go!! | MR4DEC::AWILLIAMS | It's a duck blur... | Thu May 20 1993 12:30 | 30 |
| Well gang, one year from today my family and I will be in Orlando...
When: May 20-28, 1994
Who: The Williams family -- me, my wife (Susan), our daughter
(Katie), and my folks (Jean & Art a.k.a. Grandma & Grandpa)
Where: Vistana
How: Driving down. Will likely rent a Caravan or the equivalent.
Last trip: 6/90 for Susan and me
Why: You've got to be kidding... :-)
This trip will be a lot of fun. It's been fours years since Susan and
I went down the last time. My parents have made short trips here and
there on their own, but this'll be the first time I've gone down there
with them since '78.
There are lots of "new" things to see and do. Pleasure Island, Typhoon
Lagoon, Splash Mountain, Sunset Boulevard (I hope)...
And of course, this will be Katie's first trip. She'll be 2 1/4 next
Spring when we go and all the "grown-ups" are really looking forward to
spoiling her down in the World.
Now, I just have to wait out the year... :-(

| 336.4 | Okay...Now everyone can say, "Haw! I told you so!" | WREATH::SCOPA | | Thu Jul 08 1993 15:28 | 31 |
|
Who: The Scopa Family (Mike, Carol, Holly, and Mike, Jr.)
When: July 9, 1994 to July 25, 1994
Where: The Caribbean Beach Resort (Martinigue again)
How: Driving
Last Trip: July 1992
Why: This past Winter and Spring have been terrible. The Winter
was tough enough with the cold and snow but on top of that
we had to deal with TFSO and the loss of 2 friends and
moderators.
Well folks life is too short and we all need to do
whatever we can to make our short stay on Earth as
pleasant and enjoyable as possible. The folks at Disney
come the closest to helping me suspend disbelief and help
me forget the trials and tribulations of life. Quality vacations
with my family are best found at WDW.
I need something to focus on over the next year or so.
Yes I know I said I'd hold off until 1997. Believe me,
I never thought I'd go in 1994.
Now all I need is for Digital to rebound and keep us all
employed so that this '94 dream comes true and maybe, just
maybe....there'll be a "Bash '94."

|
When: Jan 19 - 25, 1994
Where: ????? Open to suggestions, my wife wants in the park.
Why: It's been three years, kids are 10 and 8 don't know about trip.
How: TWA 2 for 1 tickets
From: Boston to Orlando
Last Time: 1991, quick trip up from Ft Lauderdale
If you have recommendations on resorts amd packages, let me know. I'm
thinking about Port Orleans, Caribbean Beach and Dixie Landings.
Also, can you inform me about the different sections of some of the
resorts too???

| 336.6 | | VMSDEV::FERLAN | DECamds: FIX your OpenVMS problems | Mon Aug 23 1993 12:04 | 42 |
|
Who: The Ferlan family (my wife Gina, two sons 3� and 2 - when we go)
and another family (not Digital) of 4 with children 5 and 3..
When: May 11, 1993 to May 21, 1993
Where: Caribbean Beach Resort
How: Thomas Cook Values vacation ( US Air...)... For both families
it comes out to about $5200
We also looked @ Delta dream vacations for $3400 for both families
but it didn't include the "passports that stayed @ the Holiday
Inn Lake Buena Vista (or whatever they call it these days)..
FWIW, the same trip at CBR for Delta was $6300... The only
difference was time of departure.
We decided to spend the extra $$$'s and stay inside (from
recommedations I read in this notesfile!)
Last: Only myself when I 10 or so (about 18 years ago..)
Why: Why not ;-)
More probably for the wife and myself, but also for the kids...
It's been a long time since we had a real vacation (about a year
before the oldest was born...)... We weren't sure if the little
ones would be good or remember, but a quick trip to Philly this
summer (and Sesame Place) proved otherwise (the 3 yr old still
hasn't stopped talking about it).
Besides between the two families each set of parents will be able
to go out a couple of nights without the kids! And without having
to pay for a baby sitter or feel "guilty" about leaving them with
their grandparents (or feeling rushed to get home early)...
|
| 336.7 | Sounds good....'94 not '93 | WREATH::SCOPA | | Mon Aug 23 1993 12:29 | 13 |
| >>>How: Thomas Cook Values vacation ( US Air...)... For both families
it comes out to about $5200
So it's $2600 for each family? WHat does that $2600 include? If that
price gets you airfare, lodging, admission, and car rental then
you're getting a pretty good deal, depending upon the admission
media. I think that air, lodging, and 10-days admission media is
also a pretty good deal.
After meals and souvenirs you may find yourself getting close to, if
not over, the $4k mark.
Mike
|
| 336.8 | | VMSDEV::FERLAN | DECamds: FIX your OpenVMS problems | Mon Aug 23 1993 14:24 | 26 |
|
Yeah, 94 not 93... Of course when 94 rolls around I'll still write
93 on my checks..
Anyways, air, lodging, admission, and transfer... Car rental would
tack on about $200 or so for each family... THe admission as I
understand it is all parks as one would get from CBR anyways..
SHould I be concerned about getting less? Then again, our wives
pretty much took care of being at the travel agent...
$4000 is about what we expect to spend total at a minimum... THe
actual is like 2500 for us and 2700 for the other family.. Our
"2 year" old will actually be under 2 at the time (although some
may not believe it), so we don't have to pay for his pass.
I was pretty surprised and pleased by the price.. I couldn't quite
fathom the 6300 vs. 5200 for Delta vs. TCV vacations.. The real
difference is that TCV gets there later in the day ... Delta leaves
at 6AM (ouch!)... I really can't see paying an extra 500 for the
one half day...
John
|
| 336.9 | Sounds Pretty Good | WREATH::SCOPA | | Mon Aug 23 1993 14:59 | 16 |
| Sounds like a good deal John.
10 nights at the CBR next May is probably just over $1K.
Airfare is tricky....maybe no cheaper than $900 for 4 these days.
Five Day SD Passes for 2 adults and 1 child would probably
be around $500 next Spring so if you got BOG passes for 10 days for
around $600 you are doing VERY WELL.
That $4k mimimum price tag you mentioned will depend upon how/where you
eat and what kind of souvenirs Mom and Dad like.
I'm with you regarding the Delta vacation packages.

| 336.10 | Not Disney Again!! | WOTVAX::KAYR | Robin Kay | Wed Sep 01 1993 12:57 | 14 |
| Who: Robin Kay, Warrington, England, Wife and son Matthew (6)
When: May 21 - June 5th 1994
Where: Comfort Inn Crossroads
Why: Stupid Question
How: By air direct from Manchester, England
Last Time: Disneyworld 1988, 1990, 1991, Disneyland 1993.
Trip courtesy of Thomas Cook who are offering 10% discount for early
reservation and British Airways Airmiles (frequent flyer points) that
provided a further 22%.
I would appreciate some information from my colonial cousins on
likely crowd and weather conditions when I am there. My previous
visits have been in March and August.
|
| 336.11 | Very Warm to Hot - Crowded to Very Crowded | WREATH::SCOPA | | Wed Sep 01 1993 17:16 | 7 |
| Weather conditions will be very FLorida-ish Robin. Expect high heat
and possible thundershowers (5-15 minutes) every day. I expect that
you'll see the crowds getting a bit larger as you move into June and
that also means a greater chance of running into our Brazillian
neighbors in June.

| Who: Jay Feenan
When: Jan 14-18 1994
Where: Dixie Landings, made this reservation in a hurry...might
change.
Why: Run the WDW Marathon
How: Air, reservations not made.
Other times: Nov '91, Sept '92 & Nov 92
|
| 336.13 | A quick trip in May! :) | CUPMK::JETTE | | Thu Sep 16 1993 12:45 | 22 |
| OK - I Admit it - I just can't stay away!
What has prompted this quick little trip was my daughter's reaction to
seeing Mickey and Minney on the big screen at the Disney Store. She
was so excited she cried. It was amazing. I wish I was in the position
of staying for a week or two - but circumstances are otherwise so....
WHO: Myself, David (12 then), Katie (4 then - first time), Grammy
WHEN: May 14th to 18th
WHERE: CBR - Martinique
HOW: Air - looking for a good fare
OTHER: Character Breakfast at the Contemporary is planned.
PURPOSE: This is a quick fix - but our expectations are to cover the
Magic Kingdom and Starland completely over the 4 days. I'm sure we'll
visit the other parks but the priority this time is for my daughter to
see MK. We'll be back for a LONG vacation in '97 to cover the rest.
The countdown begins.....

| 336.15 | Going and gone | ASABET::KUMPEL | | Tue Oct 26 1993 13:44 | 18 |
| WHO: Bill, Pat, Amy (14) and Emily (9)
When: April 14-23
Where: Dolphin (at least part)
How: Delta
Why: 3 reasons
First. It's been a while; 1991
Second. Because it's free. I just love radio contests.
Third: Even better is even though "we" won it's under my
father-in-laws social security number so he gets the 1099.
Trip includes airfare, the Dolphin, four passes, car rental and some
other incidentals. We actually won this about 5 months ago but just
decided when we are going.
Bill
P.S. There will be NO trip report unless I can get someone to file it
for me since I'm leaving Digital on my own 11/19/93.

| 336.16 | 50th birthday surprise | 25071::GARDNER | | Wed Nov 03 1993 13:19 | 18 |
| Who: Me, my husband, and two college age kids
When: Jan. 8 -13, 1994
Where: Residence Inn, off the property
Why: This is a surprise 50th birthday gift for my husband.
As of right now he doesn't have a clue that we are going. It is
so hard to be excited about this and not be able to share it
with him. The kids want it to be a total surprise and just get
him to the airport on the 8th. I want to give the guy a break and
at least give him some time to look forward to it. Right now I am
trying to think of some really neat way to surprise him either at
Thanksgiving or Christmas. It has been 5 years since we have
been there and it is going to be such a treat for all of us.
Especially the poor parents who are wrestling with college tuition.
But you turn 50 only once, right. Can I put "much needed vacation
on the financial aid forms."
|
| 336.17 | | MVDS02::BELFORTI | PFYOWS | Wed Nov 03 1993 14:55 | 4 |
| A suggestion on how to do it for Christmas!!!!
Get your tickets to the parks and wrap them up! No explaination, just
the tickets! Then wait to see his reaction!
|
| 336.18 | 50th surprise | 25071::GARDNER | | Wed Nov 03 1993 17:20 | 5 |
| Great idea. I wonder if anyone has any other ideas on how to tell him.
So many times I've almost slipped.

| WHO: Julie, Wally, Craig (13), Lauren (10), Kyle (3)
When: April 24-May 1
Where: Currently Booked @ Dixie Landing, but seriously considering
the Y&B Club
How: Capital $198 R/T thru Shaws Jetaway, since their flights leave at
7:00am (yawn) we're staying over the night before at Comfort Inn,
Revere $85 and includes parking for the week. Has anyone ever
done this, is it safe?
Rental Car: National-Intermediate Car ($114), transfers via Mears for the
5 our us was $80, so the car will work out just fine.
Why: An early 20th Anniversay (July) to ourselves, unlike some people, we
would never go to Fla in July. Also, the cheap airfare helped with
our decision, and we've been waiting for Kyle to be old enough
(no diapers).
Last Trips: 1/90, 4/75
Tell the Kids: I'm going to the Disney store and purchase the 5-day
passes and character sweatshirts and wrap them up for a "BIG"
Christmas present.
I know it's 5 months away, but the excitement is getting to me, and I'm
already not sleeping at night!

| 336.20 | Only 10 days! | FPTVX1::ABRAMS | Curl up with a good CD-ROM | Thu Jan 06 1994 13:49 | 27 |
|
When: Sun. 1/16 - Fri. 1/21
Who: Bill Abrams (me), my sister Alice, my nephew Jason (age 8)
Digital Consulting, Rochester, NY
Where: Contemporary Resort (4 night/5 day package, last night at
Lake Buena Vista Comfort Inn.)
Why: My wife's commission checks were really good last year so we
decided to give one BIG gift to my sister... and I though, what
would an 8-year-old and his single mom living on a waitress's
income like? She saved enough for plane fare and I picked up
the rest.
Last: My wife and I have gone almost every year. We've stayed offsite
a few times, and at the Contemporary, Port Orleans, and
the Beach Club (twice.)
Regrets: That my wife can't go...not enough vacation time. But don't
feel too bad. Remember those big commission checks? She also
gets to go to Hawaii in Febrary, without me.
(p.s. I laughed at my wife for writing "1993" on January 1. I first
entered this note under Sign-in 1993 visitors. Don't tell her, please.)

| 336.21 | Susan Farina in July! | RAGMOP::FARINA | | Thu Jan 06 1994 18:06 | 18 |
| Since I'm a moderator now, I guess I'd better sign in!
When: July 8 or 9 (not sure yet) to July 23 or 24
Who: Susan and Mike (my nephew, age 11 by then); I'm trying to talk my
sister into going with her son, Andrew (age 3) for part of the trip!
And my friend Jeff is considering joining us with his "little brother,"
Mitchell (age 12) for five days.
Where: All Star Sports or Port Orleans
Why: Because we like you!
Last visit: May, 1992 with my mother and grandmother; Mike's last visit
*with me* was in August, 1990, but he went in February, 1993 with my
parents. If my sister and nephew go, it will be their first visit! Same
for Jeff and Mitchell.

| 336.22 | Paul Carnell last week in February | VFOVAX::CARNELL | We're gonna need another Timmy! | Fri Jan 07 1994 10:52 | 22 |
| Who: Just me
When: February 22-27
How: Amtrak Auto-Train
Where: Wynfield Inn Maingate
Last visit: September 1992
Every winter I go down to visit my mother in the Florida Keys. Once in a while
I stop off at The World for a few days. This year I've got the -ittis bad so
I'm not only adding a whole week at The World to my annual trip but I'm also
planning to finish off a long cross country trip in the fall with another week!
Since the week in the fall will be on-property, without a car, and since I
can't afford two weeks on-property (hey, I work for Digital too ;-) this trip
I'm staying off-property. The Wynfield was recommended in this conference and
by friends, plus they have a corporate rate of $45/night, so I'll be staying
there.
"WDW-46 days and counting."

| 336.23 | The MacGillivary Trip | ASABET::MACGILLIVARY | | Fri Jan 07 1994 12:22 | 16 |
| Who: Myself, husband, Daughter (age 2.5), Mother and Mother-in-law
When: March 14-25, 1994
How: Delta Airlines. This will be our first time flying, would prefer
to drive, but not with a 2 year-old!
Where: 5 nights CBR (Martinque)
6 night FW (trailer home)
Last Visit: 1990 (Much too long!)
This will will be quite a different trip for us. We drove down every
other year with our RV and stayed at FW, before our daughter was born.
We decided to stay in 2 resorts since we know we love FW, but wanted to
try a different resort also and CBR looks like it has some neat pools
and playgrounds.
Can't wait!

Who: Myself, friend
When: February 26th - March 3rd
How: Continental Airlines
Where: Disney Vacation Club. Bought last August 190 points. This
will be the first time using the vacation club. Can't wait to see it
Last Visit: March 1993
This is my 6th visit in 7 years. You can say I'm hook!
|
| 336.25 | Back again | MSBCS::STEINHARDT | | Fri Jan 14 1994 14:46 | 19 |
| Who: Just me
When: Saturday and Sunday, January 29th & 30th
Why: I'll be in Orlando to do the announcement field training the
following week, having just finished doing the training in Dallas the
week before. Thus I can save Digital BIG $ by not flying back to
Boston late Friday and then heading out again on Sunday, but rather
going straight to Orlando from Dallas. It could be worse...
Where: Hilton Gateway (by the main entrance), $50/night with
the Orlando Magicard, which is much less than anything that the Digital
Travel (Thomas Cook) people could come up with that met Digital
standards.
This is a pleasant surprise, and yet another opportunity to get some
mileage out of an AP that expires in March.
Cheers,
Ken

| 336.26 | Next Week !! | WOTVAX::BELLR | White Rose ex-pat | Fri Jan 28 1994 11:09 | 21 |
| Finally got confirmation:
Feb 4th - Feb 18th
Free flights courtesy of Hoover UK to Orlando from London.
Self and 13 year old daughter Sally (I'm separated from her mother)
will be visiting Florida and stopping In Clearwater for the first week
then returning to Orlando on the 12th to meet with an ex-Deccie friend
and 12 year old daughter who has also got free flights. We're then
staying at a house we're renting from a UK Deccie at Meadows Woods.
Planning re-visiting Epcot, MGM Studios, then a first visit to
Universal. Other than that I'm just hoping for some sunshine and a
break from the redundancy situation in the UK

Who: Just me
Where: Undecided - leaning towards staying on site
How: By train
Why: I have been working in ZKO for five weeks and have one more to
go. Since this is my first time in the U.S.A. I decided to take
some holidays afterwards (two weeks) and to see a bit of the
country. I did not have have much notice, so I got a rail pass
before coming over and have been arranging things since. I have
changed my flight to fly back from Orlando, and will be stopping
at New York, Washington, and Richmond, before travelling
overnight to Orlando.

| 336.29 | The Farwell's | MROA::FARWELL | BOB | Fri Feb 18 1994 11:04 | 21 |
| When: March 26th through April 2nd
Who: The Farwell family...Wife,myself two kids (9 & 7)
How: Fly...US Air booked through the Thomas Cook Agency at
DEC. It's a Thomas Cook Charter.
Where: We will be staying at the Holiday Inn at Main gate east. It
was recommended by a friend that runs a travel agency
business. The Hotel caters to the kids. They have theie own
check-in. Kids eat free in their own dining room while
watching Disney flicks. Refrig and Micro in the room for
snacks. Sounded good. I'm told it is only 3mi. from disney
park.
Why: I gave the trip as a Christmas present this year for the
family. They really don't know that I did it for ME!
Last visit: November of '89. My daughter was 4 and my son was 2. This
trip should be awesome at the ages they are now.
36 days and counting!!!

| 336.30 | Opening Day at Wilderness Lodge | AKOCOA::HEACOCK | | Fri Feb 18 1994 13:55 | 18 |
| When: May 28 & 29th
Who: My wife and myself
How: Fly... but have not booked any flights yet.
Where: Widerness Lodge for Opening Day. We have stayed at
Yellowstone Inn (the old section, room 1 & 3) and loved it.
Interested in how Disney has done it capturing the
spirit.
Why: My wife's birthday. Thought I would surprise her.
Tell her to pack a bag with a swim suit and light cloths.
Last visit: Many times since WDW opened. Last visit was two
years ago just before Thanksgiving.

| 336.31 | Just 2+ weeks to go | WEORG::ARNOLD | | Thu Mar 10 1994 12:46 | 24 |
| First-time Visit to WDW, Florida
When: April 5 - 8
Who: My three sons (8, 5, 11mos), my husband, and me.
Where: We are staying off site at a private 3-bedroom home in
Kissimmee, located in the Lindfields for $99. a night plus tax.
(Any one ever hear of the Lindfields?) I'm told it's 5 minutes
from Disney.
How: Driving down, stopping in Atlanta and Frostproof, FL to visit
relatives. Will probably head over to the Gulf and hit the beaches
and Busch Gardens for a couple of days before heading back.
In all, we are planning to be away for 2 weeks.
Why: Because me and the kids have never to to WDW, or Florida. My
husband lived and worked in Orlando about 20 years ago. I'm sure
he'll be quite surprised by how much things have changed.
The boys and I are very excited about WDW. My husband just
needs a vacation REAL bad.
|
| 336.32 | Just 37 days - and counting | KAHALA::TRYON | | Fri Mar 18 1994 13:14 | 37 |
|
When: April 24 - April 28
Who: me, husband, 3 kids (9, 11 and 15) and another family with a
mom, dad, 4 kids (9, 12, 15, 16)
Where: Fort Wilderness
Other: Hoop De Doo Review on 4/26
How: Driving - us in our brand new (bought with this trip in mind)
Voyager (sans husband who is flying for health reasons) and the
other family in their slightly more used Grand Voyager. So we
will have 4 licensed drivers and 2 "practicing" ones to share
the load for the trip from Central NH.
This is the first visit to DW for all of us except my oldest child who
went with other relatives about 4 years ago. We have not told any of
the children about this trip yet even tho we have been planning it
since last June and had our reservation confirmation in November.
Keeping this a secret this long has been one of the hardest things I
have ever done and I swear my tongue is about 8 inches shorter than
it used to be!!! We will tell the kids on April 2nd at a combined
dinner for the two families at which we will have Chinese food topped
off with fortune cookies which have had their "normal" fortunes
extracted and our own home-grown "DW hints" fortunes inserted. As each
child (from old to young) opens a cookie, the hints will become broader
and broader so that, hopefully, by the time the youngest reads hers,
light will dawn and, most likely, pandemonium will set in!!
This file has been a real help to us in our planning - thanks to all
contributors for their helpful hints and real-life experiences - keep
'em coming for us neophytes who hope in 37 days to become
"Disneyholics" too!!!

| 336.34 | Don't wait for a trip report. Sorry! | DELNI::DISMUKE | | Wed Mar 23 1994 16:37 | 27 |
| When: April 3-10, 1994 EASTER WEEK
Who: Me, husband, two sons (ages 7 and 8)
Accompanied by my sister, her husband and kids (3 and 8 mo)
Being met by dear friends - Mother and 2 kids (3 and 7)
Where: Private home rental - (don't ask the details - we were
supposed to use our timeshare at Orange Lake, but were snafu'd out of
it - at least we are going.)
Other: will plan an we go along - boys will be going to Kennedy
Space Center
How: Thomas Cook Charter flight with car (2kids/2adults) $875.
We have a timeshare at Orange Lake and were supposed to be sharing it
with my older sister and family, and my younger sister and her family
rented there also. Should have been a great time, but my older
sister's family had to back out, and we lost our reservation at OL,
only to get something bigger and better in a private home. I invited
my best friend (who just moved from this area to the south in December)
and her family to join us. We are all looking forward to this time off
and some fun in the warm sunshine!!!! My youngest can't wait for SPACE
MOUNTIAN now that he is finally tall enough!

| 336.35 | Ken made me enter this note. Mike, you know who that is. | RAGS::GINGRAS | | Thu Mar 31 1994 17:42 | 21 |
| Well, we've had plans to go to WDW for a while now, and Ken kept reminding
me that I had to enter a note here, and then a trip report when I got back.
My family and I are going on April 24 and returning May 1. We've got one
of those campers in Fort Wilderness because we're just one of those families
who likes to rough it. Needless to say, everyone's looking forward to
the trip. I've been using the trip to great advantage keeping my 10-year-old
girls in line ("hey, stop fighting. Who wants to stay home while the rest
of us go to Disney World?")
We'll be flying down on Tree Top Airlines, which I understand doesn't actually
land. They pass out parachutes and there's a rebate prize if 50% of your
family can land in Typhoon Lagoon.
In any case, we're pretty much ready. If any of you are down there at the
same time, you shouldn't have much trouble spotting us. I have identical
twin girls who don't often stray from each other. I don't do sun well, so
you can usually spot me as I run from one shady patch to another. I'll,
of course, be wearing a Digital baseball cap (with burgundy logo and
slanted 't'). So if you see us, just walk up and say "hey! Why the hell
aren't you at work?" I'll just smile and say "It's okay. I left Ken in charge".

HOW: British Airways scheduled flight, out of London Gatwick (30%
reduced tickets courtesy of vouchers obtained during a supermarket
promotional offer).
WHY: It's been nearly a year since our last visit, which is w-a-y too
long without a `fix'.
Also, one of the couples coming with us are getting married over
there. They're `tying the knot' in Cypress Gardens as Disney were
far too expensive, and really only seemed interested in catering
for large weddings.
Looking forward to my first trip on Splash Mountain, and hoping
against hope for a chance to ride TZTOT in MGM if it's in `soft-
opening' mode when I'm over.

| 336.43 | | CTOAVX::CONNORTON | | Wed May 11 1994 16:01 | 21 |
| Well, I've been poking around here for a while now, so I thought I'd
sign in my trip:
Who: Myself (Amy) and my soon to be husband (Steve) - Wedding is May 28th
When: May 31 - June 8
Where: Staying at the Grand Floridian
Why: Honeymoon - had heard from basically everyone we've run into that
Disney World is THE place to go - so we thought we'd give it a shot!
Got reservations for the Hoop-De-Do (the last one!), Victoria & Alberts,
and the Empress Lily for a character breakfast. Can't wait to go!
After all the sh...stuff :) going on at Digital, it will be REALLY nice
to be at a HAPPY place! Looking forward to some time off too...
We've gotten into the Disney spirit with the wedding too - we got a
Mickey & Minnie cake top, and assorted Disney characters will be gracing
some tables at the reception.
I've been to Disney World about 18 years ago (remember it like it was
yesterday!) and Steve's never been - so I've been reading notes and the
Birnaum's Bible - any tips are greatly appreciated and welcomed!!

| 336.44 | Signing-in! | MKOTS3::BEALS | | Wed May 11 1994 17:12 | 51 |
| OK, I'll finally admit it. It's close enough now, that we are
starting to get a little excited, so it's time to fess up. Reading
JaneB's trip report to CBR with two girls the same ages as my boys
has really got me psyched!
Who: The Beals family:
Me (Susan;10 'at heart'),Hubby (Doug:age 12 'at heart'),
Jeffrey (8), and Evan (just 6)
When: May 21-May 26
Where: CBR
Why: Because we are all "at the right age" to see "the World!"
Actually we've been saving for four years and
planning for one. This notes file has been extremely helpful.
Last week-end we sat down to plan an itinerary and compared notes
between Birnbaum's and the notes file (mostly trip reports). When a
discrepancy occurred, we went with the info in the notes, as it was
more current.
How: Tour package through Stewart Travel, Hudson, NH.
$2700 air, 5 nights @CBR, 5 day passes, car,
Character breakfast, one lunch, and discount tickets to
Seaworld (which we will be going to on the 28th after
Universal on the 27th).
Had a difficult time trying to book on my own. Airfare alone was
quoted @ almost $2000 at the time, and I didn't have time to keep
a constant watch on the airfare wars between then and now to
negotiate a lower fare. For the convenience alone, the travel
agency route was the best way for us to go.
Previous trips:
Susan and Doug: Sept 1985 (b.c. - before children!)
Doug: March 1976 (hard to believe only TMK was there then!)
Boys: Never!
We did not directly tell the boys when exactly we were
going, "Oh, around the end of May" was always the standard
answer. The oldest has figured out the exact date. Hopefully
the youngest won't, as his birthday was the end of April and
all we heard for the entire month was there were X # of days
until his birthday! As we did not want to go through that
for the month of May we opted not to tell them the exact date.
His brother is sworn to secrecy!
|
| 336.45 | a really happy ending | TNPUBS::FEELEY | Growing older but not up... | Tue May 24 1994 14:49 | 78 |
| In the planning for our next visit to WDW, we've had some interesting
things happen that I'd like to share with you. We started our planning
in the beginning of February.
We decided that we wanted to go at the end of August for a couple of
reasons: the crowds go down slightly (at least in the past) and the
room rates go down. This year, the value season starts on Sunday
August 14. We wanted to go down on the 13th, so we called CRO to see
what was available. What we ended up with was:
13th Port Orleans, Pool view. We made the reservation for 3
nights because we like Port Orleans and maybe we'll stay
there for that long.
14-16 Beach Club @ MKC rates.
19 Beach Club @ MKC rates.
21-24 Beach Club @ MKC rates.
14-28 Wilderness Lodge @ MKC rates
We want to stay at the Beach Club, so we get what is available and get
on the wait list for the remaining days. However, we want to try the
Wilderness Lodge, but we don't know when. A lot of the timing depends
on what we get for the Beach Club. We would prefer to go from Port
Orleans to Wilderness Lodge to Beach Club.
However, we may have a conflict occur during the last week of August,
so just in case, we make reservations for Port Orleans for Aug. 6-13
(through the wait list, this gets extended to the 20th). Remember
this, it is important.
The MKC rates are approximately $157.xx for the Beach CLub and $138.xx
for the Wilderness Lodge. We are very pleased with the Beach Club
rates, but we are hoping for good news when the annual passholder rates
are announced (the current special provides for a 50% discount at the
Beach Club - the MKC discount is 30%).
By constantly calling CRO, we are able to get the dates filled in from
14-18 and 19-28, but we can't get the 18th! So, we can't make final
plans as to when we will stay at the Wilderness Lodge. Finally, about
the middle of May, we ask the cast member can't she please see if the
18th is available at MKC rates. She goes away and after a while comes
back and says yes, we can have the 18th. So, we have the full 14 days
at MKC rates - our persistence has paid off. You should always keep
trying to get what you want. We've found that if you don't like what
one cast member is saying, call back and see if the next one tells you
something better. When you get an answer you like, make sure you have
the cast members name, the date, and the reservation number.
So, here we are very happy with our vacation plans. But lo and behold,
yesterday we get a letter from Carole someone or other, telling us that
we are valued customers and they'd like to offer us an upgrade on our
Aug 6-20 reservations at Port Orleans to one of their full-service
resorts *for the same price* (similar to what other people have
reported). And one of the possibilities is *The Beach Club*!
So, of course we call them right away, and after a lot of sweet talking
(to make a long story slightly less long) we can change our reservation
to 6-20 to 6-15 and get a Beach Club reservation for Aug 6-15 @ $97.90,
including tax. We had to make a one-for-one switch and the 16th was
sold out completely (so he said). We wait a while and call back, and
say we really don't want to shorten our vacation - can they please try
to do something for us? In fact we were thinking of staying longer
than the 20th, but now we will have to go elsewhere and spend our money
elsewhere. So the cast member goes off and talks with her supervisor,
then comes back and says there have been some cancellations since I
last called, and we can stay at the Beach Club from Aug 6-26 for $97.90
a night. Perseverance really pays off. Remember, if you don't like
what one person says, try someone else. And acting dumb doesn't hurt -
it can create a little sympathy.
Anyway, the bottom line is we can stay at the Beach Club for $97.90 a
night. We'll probably stay at the Wilderness Lodge for the last two
nights, and we'll call today to see if we can changes our start date to
the 13th, since something has come up and we can't arrive on the 6th as
we had planned...

| 336.46 | Call early for flight seats | CACHE::LACROIX | | Wed May 25 1994 21:31 | 13 |

Wow, Planes fill up fast...
I made reservation back in March/94 for a Sep/94 trip. I was told at
that time to call back on 25-MAY-94 for flight seat assignments.
Well, I decided to wait untill tonight (25-may-94) to call for the
assignments.
To my amazement, They did not have 4 seats in a row left. I ended up
getting 3 seats, an aisle way, and 1 seat.

| Four rows across is not that common on Jets. The wide ones, yes -
Typically the 767s, 747s, DC-10/MD-11 and some of the AirBus (A-111?)
have 4 or 5 seats in a row.
All the other's are either 3x3 or 2x3 (MD80, DC-9)

| 336.48 | One more try | AIMHI::GIARROSSO | | Tue May 31 1994 12:13 | 25 |
| Who: Myself and my husband (Tom)
How: Air - American, called and had round trip for about $200
When: November 26th-Dec 3rd (out 1st anniversary :>)
Where: The Wilderness Lodge
Last visit: Our Honeymoon, Nov 28th-Dec 5th 1993. I had Pneumonia
for weeks before the wedding, so Tom and I were both
miserable ( I had given him a cold). We had stayed at
the Polynesian with a great room. I'm glad we spent
the extra money on the room; we hardly left it! I'm sure
they thought it was because we were honeymooners, but
we just couldn't get out of bed except to buy more
Nyquil. We decided to think of it as a test drive
for this year.
When we did venture out, we loved how eveything was
decorated for Christmas. It was relatively quiet, and
there was no lines. We saw a lot in a short amount of
time. We loved Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.
Though my husband says if I get sick again, he's taking a date and
leaving me home!

When: September 16th - 20th (too short but thats all we
can spare)
Where: The Wilderness Lodge
How: Delta
Last Trip: November 1993
We really need a stress reliever so what better way than a long
weekend at Disney World. We got great prices on Delta $101
roundtrip from Atlanta to we won't have to waste any time driving
We are going to suprize my son. His birthday is the day after we
get back from our trip. So we are most definitely going for dinner
at Chef Mickeys so Mickey himself can sing happy birthday. He may
expect this every year at his birthday, but I think I could deal with
that. We plan to spend more time at Typhoon Lagoon and Epcot this
time, but I can't wait for that first time I hit Main Street.
I am so excited!!!!!!

| 336.53 | Change of Plans | AIMHI::GIARROSSO | | Fri Jul 15 1994 20:11 | 16 |
|
Well, I have a modification to my reply...
We were going to stay at the Wilderness Lodge, mostly because
we couldn't afford to stay at the Polynesian again this year.
When I called to make sure they received my deposit check, the
nice lady said I could save some money by using the Jolly Holidays
package instead of the Resort Magic package.
So for the same money we were going to spend on the Wilderness Lodge,
we are staying the the Grand Floridian. My husband and I spent so
much time there last year, but we figured we'd never be able to
afford it. She made us two very happy newlyweds!

Me: I'm going again this year, but this time I get to take my wife.
Her: We're going to Disneyworld this fall because you went without me
in January!
Who: Bill & Diane Abrams, Rochester, NY
When: Thursday October 13 - Sunday October 23
Where: Disney's Vacation Club (as a hotel...maybe it will convince us
to own a piece of the Mouse)
What: 5 night/6 day Resort Magic Package with Food & Fun, $1800
What Else:
Ramada Resort Maingate at the Parkway first three nights so we will
finally see Seaworld and Universal before hiding out in the world.
Two nights in Tampa afterward, a stop at Busch Gardens, and a return
flight from Tampa because frequent flier seats are unavailable from
Orlando.
Other Visits:
Many! I took my sister and nephew to the Contemporary Resort in
January. We both went for our 10th anniversary last September,
and the year before that too. We've gone almost every year since 84.
We couldn't:
Get a room at the Beach Club, seems everyone else is discovering our
favorite place. Instead, we'll get a one bedroom suite at the
Vacation Club for the same price. The kitchen, washer/dryer, living
room, and jacuzzi tub will hopefully make up for the remote location.
Should I start writing the trip report now?

Previous: August 1992, Just 11 month old Christopher and me, then

We will be there for Thanksgiving, which when my Parents lived on the
West Coast, we went to Disneyland for Thanksgiving. I can't wait!!
It is also my Sister's 10th Birthday, and I really think that I should
be in town for her. We fly in on her birthday.
I am hoping to see some things that we haven't seen before. The first
time we went was great, but when we went back with my husband, I didn't
get a chance to see more, just pretty much the sames things again.
My brother still works at MGM Studios, and he is actually looking
forward to us being there and going to the parks with him. (Last time,
he was too cool to be seen in the park.)
I will put in a trip report as soon as I get back.....

How: Flying ATA for $224 round trip.
Why: Bill and Sara decided to take Allison to Disney for Christmas and
there was NO WAY that Grandma and Grandpa would miss seeing WDW through
Allison's eyes!

Previous trips: 77 at Fort Wilderness, 86 at the Poly, 89 at the Poly,
92 at the Beach Club, and 93 at the Beach club.
