Well, my husband and I just sat down and planned when we will be going to WDW. We've never been!!! We plan on renting a condo and taking the auto train. Our dates are Nov 15 - 22nd! Is this trip going to be as addicting as I think it is?? :cooldance: Any tips anyone can provide would be great! I've been reading the other tips thread too.
Fantastic! These are the resources I use when planning our trips to WDW:Quote:

And to answer your question, Yes! Planning a trip to WDW is very addicting!:sunshine2:
Those are the exact dates we went this past year!!! We left the Thurs before and came back Thurs on Thanksgiving day.Quote:

I'm pretty sure Thanksgiving comes late this year so I think your ok, but the first 4 days we practically had the park to ourselves, walked onto every ride, the 2-3 days leading up to thanksvgiving it was the complete opposite.
So if it's going to be near Thanksgiving, (meaning the 2-3 days before) I would seriously consider moving ahead the dates, if not your golden!
Weather was absolutely perfect, no rain, 75-80. We rented a house with a heated pool, AWESOME! We were also there just in time for them to decorate for Christmas, just beautiful! If your there I when it starts MGM's holiday Osborne light show is awesome, we also did Mickey's Very Merry Chrismtas party!
It is addicting and you have a way's to go! WE planned in August for Nov and I thought that was going to kill me! lol
At least you have a TON of time to earn spending money!!!!! :)
Keep posting!! If you can get into the flash chat (75 posts), Sunday nights are Disney planning! (not sure if this is the last one - to be decided!)
Congratulations!!! Disney is an experience like none other. The sites already listed are great for planning. We are in the midst of deciding when to do what when. I think the planning is every bit as much fun as the going. And, that is saying alot.:sunshine:
Thanks everyone for your help! We can't wait...too bad we have to get through Spring, Summer...oh, yeah, and Autum before we go. :rotfl:
Strangely enough, it will pass faster than you expect. I made our reservations in September and my girls were going "oh wow, 8 months, wow". Now, we are 3+ months and they are getting very excited and they are surprised how fast the time has gone by.Quote:
