Planning - Resort Choice

As a kid I remember staying in the Contemporary, something I want to do again sometime.
1978ish...my mom in our room at the Contemporary

As a teen we went again and we stayed off site.  Never again! =)
1988 - I was 14

In 2000 John and I were married!  We decided to honeymoon at Disney!  We stayed at All Star Movies in the Fantasia section.  Right behind the pool and I remember there was a hammock right outside our door.  Loved the theming!
Dec 2000 Honeymoon

SO, when we plnned out 2013 trip with Rebekah we knew where we wanted to stay, All Star Movies.  Again, we loved it.  We were in the Buzz side Toy Story.  We were away from the pool, nice and quiet and a VERY quick walk to the buses!
Jan 2013 - Rebekah heading to our room

So for this next trip I really wanted to try somewhere new.  I REALLY wanted to try Caribbean Beach Resort.  However it was JUST out of our reach...next time!
So we decided to stay at POP Century.  Pretty much large, big and bright theming.  Another reason for not choosing All Star Movies was the ability to get any discounts to come out.  All Star Movies is usually not included in any discounts. 

SO...We are excited to try there!

Happy Halloween, by the way!

Danville Trunk-or-Treat 2015...look closely, Rebekah was a prop in there!

Rebekah as Cheshire Cat...more Disney!

Happy Halloween!

I'm back again!

Well it has been almost 3 years from our last trip and a *LOT* has changed!

HOWEVER...we are now planning another Disney trip!

Who: Me (Fran) 41, DH (John) 41, and DD (Rebekah) 8
When: 9 - 17 January 2016
Where: POP Century!
Why: 15 year wedding anniversary celebration, Rebekah's 9th b-day and a "PHEW, we made it through that hard part of life" trip!

Pretty much since coming back from our last trip I have been planning this trip.  There have been MANY set backs since then.  My farm in New York had to be sold and we made the decision to move back to New England, Danville NH to be exact.  After months of un(and under)employment we had a lot of catching up to do and jobs to find!  We moved again to Kingston, NH, both of us found great jobs and we can now again plan a vacation!

I decided for a few reasons to work with a new travel agent and I *LOVE* her!
(Let me know if you want her info!)

I was hoping to stay at Caribbean Beach Resort this time but it is *JUST* out of our reach...NEXT time!

I did decide to try POP Century resort...something new AND the ability to be part of any discounts (ASMovies are not included in discounts)

So in the next few posts I will go over some of our plans!
Dining
Extras
the dreaded Purchasing of Plane Tickets.

This is going to be AWESOME!
