Title: It's time...
Post by: Ohana on May 27, 2016, 12:06:04 PM
OK so I've been to DLP twice in the past 6 months, and now I've decided to broaden my horizon - the saving and planning for WDW has officially begun!

Had some bad news recently that the owner of my flat has hoiked the rent up a fair whack, and there's no way we're paying any more than we do now, A. because it's not worth it and B. because he's a little sneak for increasing the rent just 1 month before it renews - giving us less than that to now hunt down a new property, and I've discovered this is officially the worst time of year to be looking! But anyway, what with those silver linings that tend to come free with great heavy clouds nowadays, I felt I'd use this situation to my advantage, find a place with cheaper rent and bills, and get more money put away each month for WDW. Plus the planning is cheering me up somewhat :)

So yeah... that's me really, hoping to go next September! So that gives me about 460ish days to wait? I'm sure that's enough time to get saving and planning :D only thing is, has anyone been to WDW the same year they've booked it? I'm hoping to book it at the very start of the year so I don't miss out on the 6 month ADR thing, I HAVE TO get a reservation at Be Our Guest. It's non negotiable.

How exciting!
What a douche-of-a-landlord but as you say - the silver linings might take you to WDW if everything works out. Hopefully it does!

I'm already planning for WDW 2018 (my kids are too young just yet) so will look forward to reading about your plans

We're currently planning for September 2016.

We have booked the plan tickets, the resort we're staying at. We have determined a large number of restaurants and the parc(s) we're going to visit for all but one day. The fats pass bookings will start in a month and a half.

LOL I have always said I'd be happy just with DLP but after our last trip I got turned on to the idea of WDW. My sister and BIL are planning for next year anyway so I decided to tell them to plan us in too. This is great because they've been before so they can do all the legwork with some input from me as to what we'd like to do (anything? everything? lol) and then we just pay and go.
Looking at 2 weeks from next Easter Monday which will be April next year.

Good luck with the flat hunting and as you say, every cloud....  ;D
