We are finally officially DVC owners. woohooo
and more importantly, we finally have reservations!
Sorry I have been awol from here for a while. I just have been so busy with family and work projects I just haven't had much time to get online, and have been spending it catching up on all the great TRs here on the boards.
SO, where ya stayin (said like Isabella from Phineas & Ferb)
(Photo from TripAdvisor.com) On Saturday 4/27 we will check into a two bedroom villa at Animal Kingdom Kidani Villas. We have standard view, so who knows what that view will look like. I'm looking forward to staying in one of the villas and having a kitchen for the first few days. and to the Jacuzzi tub. We never use ours at home but hey, maybe on vacation I will get a chance to soak for a little while.
On 4/30 we will check out of Kidani, and check into two separate studios at Saratoga Springs.
(Photo from TripAdvisor.com) This also works out well for us. After camping together enough times, we have learned that after 3 days or so, Katie and Marie tend to start picking at each other and need some personal space. So switching to two completely different rooms will be good timing I think.
I didn't realize how quickly the DVC properties really do fill up. I went to make reservations for October and found that I could not get anything the week we want to go. I have waitlisted Animal Kingdom and OKW. I could have reserved for most of the week at Saratoga Springs, but here was one night, 10/13, which appears to be booked everywhere. bizarre! I am torn between just waiting (a risk and I am tired of risks!), changing weeks (but then Katie will have to miss 5 days of school instead of 3) in October, or giving up on Halloween and going after Thanksgiving instead (which Joe thinks is totally crazy).
Ok so moving on, now that we know where we are staying, I can share what we are doing once we actually get there, which, by the way, is in
11 days!!!
