221.0. "Sign-in 1991 WDW Visitors" by ICS::THEALL () Wed Sep 05 1990 17:49

    Thought it might be time to start a note for 1991 visitors.
    
    Who:          Cheryl and Samantha Theall (with my parents)
    When:         January 12th-19th
    Where:        Polynesian Village (Pool View)
    How:          Delta $238.00 round trip
    Last Trip:    September 11th-19th, 1990
    
    Just got confirmation from the family 2 minutes ago and thought I would
    begin this note.
    
    Happy vacationing.

221.1O.K. I'll be first...VIRGO::BEAUDOINDave BeaudoinFri Sep 14 1990 02:1419
    Who:	Dave and Ann Beaudoin
    		Lauren & Russell (ages 7 & 9)
    When:	October 16th-23rd 1991
    Where:	Contemporary (tower, lake view)
    How:	Air (too soon to book airline reservations)
    
    	This will be our first trip with the kids (my wife and I went to
    Disneyland in '79) and we are really looking forward to it. When we
    started planning our trip I spent a lot of time reading in this
    notesfile as well as the Birnbaum book and brochures from travel
    agents. After becoming somewhat confused by the vast amount of
    different packages available we decided that the best thing for us
    would be to determine how long we wanted to be there and what we
    wanted to do there and then find a package that closely matched our
    agenda! And we did! We chose a Vacation Kingdom Holiday at the
    Contemporary through the MKC club card I got at DEC!

221.2WOTVAX::BATTYThe Seaweed is Always Greener...Fri Sep 14 1990 11:2220
    Who:    Pat and Mike Batty
    	    Elizabeth and Martin (8 and 11 by then)
    
    When:   29th June - 20th July 1991
    
    Where:  1st week somewhere in Orlando, next two weeks FW Trailer.
    
    Why:    Why Not?
    
    Totally sold on Disney after our first visit in July '89. The 
    'Holiday of a Lifetime, Never to be Repeated' visit rapidly became 
    an exploratory trip to lay the groundwork for many future visits. 
    Back at Christmas '89, because we had to make more use of the 
    Annual Passports. Gave it a miss this year, but can't hold out any 
    longer. Have Annual Passport renewal certificates at the ready, 
    Disney News whetting the appetite and the Notes to keep us up to 
    date. If only Orlando was closer to the UK, then we could nip over 
    for long weekends and short breaks. As it is, the length of the 
    flights and school holidays mean we can only get over at peak 
    periods so we need long visits to do everything (Shame!).

    Honeymoon...and what better place than Disney World!

221.1020th anniversaryDEC25::GULLIKSENDisney in 1991Fri Nov 30 1990 13:2716
    	Who: Me, my husband Greg and my parents.
    	When: Sept. 21 thru October 5, 1991
    	Where: Port Orleans for two weeks
    	How: Air
    	Last trip: June/July 1988 for me.  First time for everyone else.
    
I called Central Reservations last night.  Would you believe that all of the
rooms in CBR are booked from Sept. 28 thru Oct. 2?  I did get confirmation
that they are celebrating the 20th anniversary next week but so far there
are no details.

Luckily, the Port Orleans is scheduled to open June 1 and it had two weeks
available.  If anyone is planning on being in Orlando on October 1 and staying
at the Disney hotels, better make your reservations now.

     	WHERE:  	Private house in-between Kissimmee & Orlando
    	HOW:		Virgin Atlantic (they've got more legroom)
        WHY:		Because it's freezing over here in January,
    			(it BETTER NOT be over there either!)
    
    	LAST TRIP:      August/September 1990.                            
  
    
    
    	It seems that Florida can expect yet another 'Invasion Of The
    	Brits' as flights are now booked up into next Spring already,
    	according to our in-house AMEX travel-agent.  We want to go
    	again in September, and they're advising us to book NOW, just
     	to make sure we can get the exact flights we want!
    
    	I also want to watch the Superbowl final on TV in the USA for
    	once -  I'm fed up with having to watch it in the early hours
    	of the morning over here in the UK.  I hope it's on when I'm 
    	there, my fingers are firmly crossed as I'm not sure of the 
    	exact date.

    When I saw the Christmas Parade on TV yesterday, I knew then and there
    that I would be at Diseny with my kids next year at this same time.  As
    long as I am there, why not stay until after New Years.  Then again, if
    already there, why even bother to come back north......

    WHERE:	Fort Wilderness
    LAST TIME:	Week after thanksgiving, 1989
    
    Well, you see, we just bought a GMC Safari Van which will let us drag
    the ol' camping trailer on long journeys in glorious, sumptious comfort
    (compared to the ol' Nissan pickup truck, anyway!!).
    
    The first time we went to Disneyworld as a family we stayed in one of
    the rental tailers at FW.  It was great. The second time, we stayed in
    the newly opened Carribean Beach Resort, and it was great too.  This
    time, we're takig our own little slum-away-from-slum...er, home-away-
    from-home with us, and it promises to be the best yet.
    
    Neither of us have ever been to Disneyworld at or near Christmas; if
    anyone has any odd pieces of advice, feel free to send MAIL. 
    
    By the way, fellow campers, the preferred loops are already full for
    Christmas week!!!
    
    Now, where's that countdown program when I want it????

    WHERE:   Probably taking the Premier Cruise Disney Week
             thinking about the 4 night Abacodabra Cruise and 3 nights

    WHERE:  Economy Inn, Kissimee
    HOW:    AirTours #459 for two weeks this includes car hire.
    LAST TRIP: November 1989.
    
    I just can't wait to get back.  As I saw somewhere else....once
    in a lifetime holiday, never to be repeated.  Bug got us so bad,
    especially over Christmas when Philip Schofield presented Disney
    time etc, that we just had to rush out and book up.  Glad I did
    as the package deals in a lot of the brochures, that had only been 
    out a week, were getting pretty booked up.
    
    In fact when I got back from my last trip I was too depressed to
    write a trip report but now I know I'm booked to go back I shall
    post in a short report (albeit a year late) and let you know the
    gory details of my car crash, my husband's snake bite.......!!!)

    Who:    Richard and Cathi Cass
    When:   October 9th - 17th 1991
    Where:  Grand Floridian
    How:    American Airlines *FREE* tickets (cashing in Frequent Flyer
            miles!)
    Why:    10th (!) anniversary
    
    This will be our third trip to WDW, first time at the Grand Floridian.
    We decided to go "in style" to celebrate our anniversary.  We're
    planning to go to the Hoop de Doo our first night (a Cass family
    tradition) and Victoria and Albert's on the 11th for our actual
    anniversary.  Can't wait to see all the changes since our last
    visit (December '89) and I'm hoping that they still have the Electrical
    Parade then since we've never seen it (they didn't have it during previous
    trips in Dec '89 and January '88).  Also looking forward to being in
    Florida when it's *WARM*.  We had unusually cold weather (for Florida)
    on both our previous trips.

    When:  Most of May '91
    Where: Days Lodge, Florida Mall, Orlando
    How:   Thomson package
    
    We did the same package, but for only two weeks in '89 and there just
    was not enough time.  Otherwise it was unquestionably the best family
    holiday ever.  We had vowed to do a return trip and a longer stay
    before we left.  That was our first trip to Florida, but Sheila and I
    (and a very young Paul) visited Disneyland on countless occasions when
    we were living in LA.  I can't imagine life without a Disney trip to
    look forward to!
221.30Cruise/Disney week!!!!!!LUDWIG::ROBROSESat Feb 23 1991 07:0415

    When: March 15 - 23 '91
    Where: 3 Days Premier Cruise, then 5 days at the Gold Star Inn.
    
         I just booked this cruise package last week, I think we go the 
    cabin on the ship!!!! I have my Hoop-dee-doo  and my Victoria & Alberts
    reservations all set,(Now all I have to do is loose some pounds before
    I go!!!!). I have cruised before but not with Premier, I will be sure
    and post a trip report on my sad but inevitable return.
    
                           20 days and counting......

    re: -1
           I guess it is still pretty early. What I meant to type
      in the previous note was that we got the last two person
      cabin on the ship which is by the way, the Oceanic.
      I guess I am pretty excited, yeah thats it......

    Who: David and Joan Dufort and 2 daughters Marsha (12) and Melissa (6)
    When: June 19-28
    Where: Holiday Inn Maingate West, Kissimee
    How: By Air. We are waiting to see if the air fare goes down for this
    time frame. Right now, it is $338 per ticket on Delta
    Why: We all need to experience that Disney Magic.
    
    
    We picked the Holiday Inn because it was recommended to us by the agent
    at AAA Travel. Being a AAA member, I got the room for $49 per night
    plus tax. That is for the 4 of us. We are also getting the annual
    passes. We wanted to be able to go into WDW all the days we are down
    there. Also, the children will be just getting out of school then.

    to drive to make a "family vacation" out of it, stopping in DC for
    a day on the way down.  Got an AC/DC TV to hook up to the video
    camera for some kid entertainment (videos) while driving in the van.
    Bought the 4-day passes already, and we're ready to go in a bit
    over a week!

    		previous visits, waiting and waiting until we could
    		go back.  I'd read a note and say "oh, I've got to
    		remember that" or "I'll have to print that out
    		before we go".  Well, do you think I can find the
    		notes now??  I guess I'll have to start all over!!

	Who:      Dave and Roberta Carlson
	          Kids, Nate (15),Allison (12), and Stephanie (11)

	When:     April 14-April 19
	Where:    Fort Wilderness Campground (
	How:	  Full Size Dodge Van with Jayco Tent Trailer

This is our second trip to WDW, our first being in March 1984.

Warning to the Novice traveler...Don't do what I do.
My trip planning and time schedules are not for the faint hearted as those
who know me from the RV notesconference will confirm.

In true Carlson "spur of the moment" fashion, I have pulled off an April 91
school vacation trip to Walt Disney World complete with preferred campsite
in Fort Wilderness (I made the reservations last night 3/27) I didn't call 
yet to push for a site number because I couldn't find my map of FW.
Our reservations are for 5 nights starting Sunday 4/14-Friday Morning 4/19.
I also made reservations for the 10PM Hoop Dee Doo on Tuesday April 16 and hope
to snag a cancellation for a 7:30 show either Monday or Tuesday.

We leave Leominster in the wee hours of Friday morning on April 12.

Coming back, we leave Florida early on 4/19 and drive to my sister's house 
in Wilmington NC.
Leave Wilmington early ?? on 4/20 and drive straight through back to 
Leominster, Mass arriving in the wee hours of Sunday 4/21..

Monday 4/22 Kids back to school, and what's left of Ma + Pa back to work.

Now you know why this isn't recommended for the squeemish..

I peeked last night and the Jayco is still in the side yard. This weekend
it will somehow traverse 100 feet of sloppy yard, with hopefully minimal
destruction to prepare for the trip..repack bearings,check tires + lights,
and also put in the new faucet I neglected to put in last year.

Anybody else heading to WDW at that time?

Does anyone know if they are still having Mesquito problems down there?

Kids are a bit bummed because Space Mountain is closed.

	More later,

        Where:      Yacht Club (lagoon view on annual pass holder's
                    discount)
	How:        Fly (hoping for some deals on fares by then)
    	Why:        A couple of our previously-planned short trips to WDW
    	            fell through. This time is a promise to make up for 
                    prior disappointments.
    	Last trip:  May 1990 at CBR. CBR is a nice hotel and a great
    	            value, but why not go the the nicer place for the same
                    price?

  How:         Last week that well known benevolent institution known as                
               British Airways advertised its two for one programme. I had no 
               intention of going to Florida this year but with one adult 
               free and half price for Matthew who could resist. I managed in 
               the rush to book a 14 night fly-drive from Heathrow to Miami.
               After having a look at the Keys and the Everglades I intend              
               spending at least a week as near WDW as I can get.

221.515th Anniversary CelebrationNEWVAX::DOYLEA monk, a clone, and a Ferrengi....Sat Apr 27 1991 15:0320
    Who: Ellen and Ted Doyle
    When: 7 Sept - 14 Sept
    Where: Port Orleans (and we hope it's finished; I don't want a view of
    			the "future swimming pool" aka hole in the ground...)
    How: By USair frequent flyer miles, painstakingly gathered through
    	numerous business trips to hole-in-the-wall cities
    Why: 5th anniversary, desperate need for a looong vacation, desire to
    	revert to childhood in a socially acceptable manner.
    
    We're using a MKC Vacation Kingdom Holiday package, extended to 
    7 nights. I have been to Disneyland twice (DECUS, y'know), but never
    to the REAL THING. Husband was to Disneyworld when a wee creature.
    Anticipated highlights include: Anniversary dinner at Victoria and
    Albert's (yes, we've read the prices; full speed ahead and darn the
    torpedoes), HOOP-DE-DOO (reservations already made), 
    and everything else..... This notes file is great! Helps
    add to our anticipation and organize our plans.
    
    Trip report and review of Dole Whip to be filed promptly upon our
    return.

    Who:  John, Jeanne and Kate Travers
    When: September 15-21, 1991!
    Where:Fort Wilderness Campground
    How:  Frequent Flyer Miles and Disney Channel Thank You Package
    Last Trip:  May, 1990
    
    We only decided to do it today!!  I have enough frequent flyer miles to 
    get the three of us there on American Airlines.  Also (and please let
    me know if you think this is a good deal):  there was an ad in the
    Disney Channel Magazine "Stay at a select Walt Disney World Resort for
    five nights or more, and each adult (up to two) receives a FREE six-day
    unlimited Super Pass to all seven Disney theme parks and attractions
    when accompanied by a child (max of two children per room)."  So... 
    
    I called tonight (1-407-W-DISNEY x72) and made reservations to stay for
    six nights at the campground $104/night (including tax) and this
    includes one adult and one child six-day unlimited Super Pass.  (We'll
    have to buy one pass at the ticket window $170 - if we had another kid, we
    wouldn't have to buy the extra ticket - maybe I should rent a kid!)
    
    The fellow said that when we arrive at the guest relations desk they
    will have our reservation and the two passes.  
    
    I asked several times if I had to show the advertisement or prove that
    I got the Disney channel.. he said no.  Is this too good to be true?

    HOW:	Fly from Boston (part of package)
    LAST TRIP:	None of us have been before, but thanks to this Notes File,
    		we have a fairly well organized trip ahead of us!
    WHY:	Tired of waiting to have all bills paid before we ever go on a
    		family vacation.  Got the urge and made the reservations
    		after a week of heavy reading on the subject!

    We are also cruising aboard the OCEANIC for 3 days and 4 days
    at WDW.  Both hubby and I are NATIVE Southern Californians,
    grew up 9 miles west of Disneyland in Anaheim.  We've heard
    that WDW is eerily the same as our beloved theme park.  If 
    Westcot center pans out, you'll all be visiting us!

    Thanks to Jean's note (reply .52) we will be taking our first trip to
    WDW.  We used the same Disney Channel deal to get a Ft. Wilderness
    Trailer for $104/night and that includes FREe unlimited Super Passes
    for six days for mom,dad and two of the children.  We'll end up
    chopping off two days either at the beginning or the end of the week
    depending on the airline arrangements.

        We were not planning to go this year and we really didn't mind
        very much, or at least we had accepted that fact.  Then, a
        couple of weeks ago I called and made our 1992 reservations. 
        All of a sudden, our next trip seemed to be too far away. 
        With the annual passports already paid for, and the $99 Y&B
        Club special, and we need a vacation, .... 

        ... and my parents want to join us for the first week, and the
        kids are never going to be this age again, and what a great
        place to celebrate our 15th anniversary...  Well, you get the
        point.

        We are planning a side trip to Washington DC on the way down.

    		plus Raina, Andy and Lindsay
    When:	Dec 1 - Dec 13
    Where:	Fort Wilderness trailers
    How:	Driving
    Why:	I can't seem to find the words to explain why although
    		obsessive and compulsive come to mind.
    Last trip:	Ruth, Randy and Nicole - December 1990
    		Andrew - December 1990 (but he wasn't born yet)
    		Raina and Lindsay - August 1988
    		Andy - Has never been
    
    We had tentative plans to go in December - we had a reservation
    at the Poly - until yesterday.  Things are now pretty solid unless
    Randy or I lose our job.  We are looking forward to seeing "the
    world" through Andy and Lindsay's eyes.  Lindsay was only 15 months
    old in 1988 so she doesn't remember the trip.  Judging by her
    response to our pictures of the afternoon parade, she will be loads
    of fun to be with.  We are talking excitement to the extreme.  And
    Andy is another story.  We figure he'll be more excited than Lindsay.
    Put it this way, he gets excited about his job at a video store.
    WDW should put him over the edge.  As for our Andrew, if he's anything
    like his sister was on her first trip, he will sleep through most
    everything.
221.64Family reunion in WDWAKOCOA::HEACOCKTue Jun 25 1991 20:1534
    I have been reading the notes file for awhile, so I guess it is about time 
that I signed in.

My family does a family reunion every few years somewhere in the world.  
This coming November we decided to meet, with the kids, in WDW for a week.  
So here goes the vital statisics.

Who:   Jane and Alan Heacock
       Kids: Jason (14) and Nicholas (9)

When:  November 1 through November 10, 1991

Where: Caribbean Beach Resort

How:   Flying.  By checking the rates today tells me I have to watch for a
       special rate.  They want $338 per person rt from Manchester, NH or
       Boston. 

Why:   Lets be serious.  A reader of this conference knows this answer.

Last Trips:  I had to stop and write these down.....

       WDW:   73,75,79,81,83,90
       Epcot: 81,83,90
       MGM:   90
       DL:    79,82(decus)
       Japan: 88

Futures:  EuroDisney 92

I have not determined how many days I have before we leave.  I still have 
the summer trip to get through before I start to think this far ahead.

    Where: Fort Wilderness, (loop 2600 requested)
    
    Last time I went was 1978, and 9 days would have been more than enough
    time to see everything. I'm not so sure it's enough in 1991.

    	WHO:  	Me + Wanda, her two sisters Addie & Marina + boyfriends,
    	      	plus the girls' mother Rosa ... PLUS nephew Robert (phew!)
    	
    	WHEN:	September 27th - October 11th
    
    	LAST 
    	VISIT:	June 22nd - 29th this year.
    
    	WHERE:	House between Orlando & Kissimmee (off of the Orange Blossom
    		Trail)
    
    	WHY:	It appears that I am now hooked on getting sun-stroke (Team
    		Lobster), and I also am cast-iron guaranteed 4 days in WDW
    		because the dreaded nephew is coming along (the only reason
    		I can see for wanting to take a child on holiday)
    
    
    
221.713 days until we leave, but who's counting?GIAMEM::TORTORELLIA Kamaaina in spiritTue Jul 30 1991 11:2114
    Who:	Phyllis, Mike, Amber (age 2) and Nicky (age 13)
    When:	August 6 - August 9 1991
    Where:   	Polynesian Village - the $125 special
    How:	Driving down.  Have never driven down with a baby before.
    Why:	Nicky, the 13 year old, is going to Space Camp and since 
    		we have to drive him down, we just have to do Disney.
    
    We'll do Disney first and then bring him to Space Camp and head on down
    to Vero Beach to look for a trailer, condo, house that may fit our
    budget.  Then we'll pick Nicky up from Space Camp and drive up to
    Myrtle Beach for a few days.
    
    Can't wait - this vacation is VERY BADLY NEEDED!!!!

       WHO:   Myself, my wife and my son Nick who is 5.
    
       WHEN:  August 27th - September 3rd.
    
       LAST
       VISIT: May 1984 - On our honeymoon.
    
       WHERE: Comfort Inn Lake B.V.
    
       WHY:   We have just found out that my wife is expecting, so
              vacations next year will be sort of limited.  We have been
              wanting to take Nick for some time but wanted to wait until
              he was old enough to appreciate it.  This also gives him one
              last fling before he starts kindergarten. (as if a 5 yr old 
              needs a fling). 
    
    
       I have gained alot of information from reading this notes file and 
       promise a trip report shortly after my return.

       WHO:   My wife and I
    
       WHEN:  September 18th (my birthday) - September 23.
    
       LAST
       VISIT: October 1990
    
       WHERE: Beach Club Resort
    
       WHY:   Last year, we bought Annual Passports.  When I heard about
              the AP special of staying on-property for only $99/night,
              we had to jump at the oppurtunity.  I figure we will save
              at least $800 over having to buy passports and paying the
              the regular price for the room.  The airfare went up $100
              per person from last year, but it still is a great deal!

    first trip for kids, second trip for us (1985) 
221.76Late check-inTYFYS::ANTRYDisk SPACE...the final frontierMon Sep 16 1991 16:1233

    who:    Lane Antry (me) - Mark Antry (my decmate) - daughter Kimberly (7)
            and cousin Jamie (20) - who has promised to watch kiddo a couple
	    of nights for us (yeah!!!)
    
    when:   October 5th - 12th
    
    where:  Beach Club (any view) - I just want to be there!

    how:    FREE tickets on Delta (all 4 of us) due to too many business
	    trips over the past year.  Using MKC vacation plan.  Tried
	    to get anual passport specials but the month of October is
	    during the black-out period (must be due to the anniversary).
	    It still works out to be only $120 or so per night.

    why:    Haven't been on a family vacation in 4 years.  We wanted to
	    "Do it BIG time" so WDW is the place.  

    last visit:  None of us have been to WDW (except Jamie).  We all went
                 to Disneyland when Kimberly was 3.

    what to do:  I already have the hoop-dee-doo reservations (5:00) and
                 have been calling every week to try and get a 7:30 show
		 but no luck yet.  It is our 8th anniversary today and
		 the trip will be our present to each other.

    Thanks to all of you for your valuable insights and information.  I
    have really enjoyed sharing the fun as you give your trip reports 
    and I have to say I have a BAD case of 'itis..... 

	I WILL BE THERE IN  3  WEEKS.......YIPPEE.......

    I really wish that I had started reading this notesfile 6 to 9 months

    late for reservations for lots of things (notably Hoop-de-doo). Next
    time...

    I'm Mark Stevens, who has been a read only Disneyholic for about 6-9
    months. Anyway, I just returned from Disney World (my 3rd  trip since
    1987) and am still sky high.
    
    My trips included March of '87, October of '89, and this past week.
    
    I have two children, 12 and 3, and my wife who is a Disney lover as
    well. We all can't wait to go again, probably in April of '92 if not
    before.
    
    I stayed at the CBR for the first time this trip and will not stay
    outside the park again. It was a fantastic experince and the new
    parades and Spectacle in the Sky at EPCOT were also something else.
    
    How can I make it through the year without going again???

	Who:	Jean Raymond (yep, just me!)

	When:	November 30 - December 3  - not long enough, I know...

	Where:  Caribbean Beach Resort - and I just made the reservation this
		week!!!

	How:	Delta to Orlando on Nov. 26, drive to my parents' in Naples
		for Thanksgiving and my father's 70th birthday on the 29th.
		Then back to Orlando on Nov. 30 for the REAL vacation!

	Last
	Trip:	November 1983 (?) - a day at MK and a day at Epcot as part
		of a cruise package.


	I've been reading this notes file and thinking about this trip
	since July and I know that 2-3 days is just a teaser, but have
	wanted to get back to WDW for years and since I'm going down
	anyway...

	I will be alone, however, and I see a few of you that I may overlap
	with so if you'd like to get together for a drink or a swim or
	dinner or to trade experiences ("Did you see...?!!) do get in touch, 
	either here or down there!

	I was pleasantly surprised when I called Monday night and there were 
	rooms still available at CBR - esp. for Saturday night!  Must be 
	everybody's in the new hotels - or the recession is hitting them...

    Where: Orlando Marriot (International Drive)
    
    How:  United frequent flyer free ticket and United 10th Anniversary free
          ticket
    
    Why:  Frequent flyer miles expiring, time to use coupons for free
          flights, hotel, car rental
    
    Tough decision:  To leave the kids home for the weekend while mom & dad
    	             go to WDW (I suppose that this means that we have to
    		     at least buy holiday presents for them there)
    
    Last trip: Last May (91), with the kids, for a week
    
    Where to be found:  In the Adventurer's Club, Saturday night 12/14.....
