312.0. "Sign-in for 1993 WDW Visitors" by CFSCTC::SNOBRD::CONLIFFE (Better Than Life) Thu Jun 25 1992 14:11

I'm not sure whether this should go in the Disneyoitis note or here,
but what the heck!


The Conliffe family is off to Disneyworld for April vacation  next year.
Iain gets a whole wek off school, so we're going to MouseWorld.  Here's the
plan.

I'm going to set off a few days early and tow the camper down to Fort Wilderness
to arrive on the Friday night.  My wife and child are going to fly out as soon
as school is over (well, maybe even the morning of the last day, 'cos they 
nevef do anything academic on the morning before a break!) and meet me in
Orlando!  We'll have six nights of fun fun fun in the sun sun sun  and then 
they'll fly back and I'll drive northward again on my own.

This gives me the chance to do a couple of days of serious solo motoring (which
I enjoy), gives us all the maximum amount of time in WDW, _and_ I get to spend
a couple of nights ON MY OWN at the East Coast's premiere resort and restaurant
complex on Rt 95 at the North Carolina Border.  (South of the Border!!!!!!!!!)

I'm excited (can you tell).

    Why:  It's still 9 months to go and I've got the 'itis bad.  Kids are
    	  bugging me to see the new stuff (B&tB show, VOTLM, Muppets 3D,
    	  Splash Mountain).  My son (currently 4) wants to go on Humunga
          Kowabunga.

	  Splash Mountain - new shows to see - new hotels to visit

312.4The countdown is on...OBSESS::JENSENAnother excursion into idiocy...Wed Oct 21 1992 16:3922
    When:	January 24th - February 2nd
    
    Who:	Five Jensens -- me, my husband Keith, our son Josh
    		(5 yrs. old), Keith's sister and brother -- we have
    		experience vacationing as a group and have figured
    		out how to put up with each other!  :)
    
    Where:	Ft. Wilderness Trailer Home (MKC reservation with 30% 
    		off-season discount, no vacation package -- still waiting

    WHO:	Bert and Debbie Grubbs (no kids yet...!)

    WHERE:	Econolodge Maingate West -- stayed there on a driving
    		trip last year and really enjoyed the convenience for the

    		if you stay east of I4.
    
    WHY:	We are HOOKED bigtime.  First trip for me, long time ago
    		when I was a kid (COLD December trip).  Second trip (Deb's

312.27I'm in!WAGON::KRUEGERWed Feb 17 1993 14:4331
    When:	April 3 through April 9, 1993
    
    Who:	Me and Kalin, my 19-year-old daughter
    
    Where:	Dixie Landings Resort
    
    How:	United Airlines
    
    Why:	Why else?  We're hooked! 
    
    Last trip:	1992, April school vacation.  Basically this is my 10th
    		trip to WDW, and my daughter's 6th (she was a baby the
    		first two times I went, although I took my son, and twice
    		I went with friends because my kids had other plans).
    
    This year my two oldest are off on their own, and my youngest (a senior
    in high school) can't bear to leave her boyfriend for a week.  So it's
    just me and Child #3, and we're going to have a ball!  Luckily she's
    the one who's easiest to travel with; she's not a picky eater like my
    youngest, which means when we're in Epcot we plan to have dinner in
    Morocco for the FIRST time!  We have the easiest rapport and she
    doesn't mind leaving her boyfriend for a week.  I can't wait!  I was
    planning to skip WDW this year but got the urge just a couple of weeks
    ago (from reading this file!) and within 24 hours Kalin and I decided
    to go for it, so I tried to reserve CBR but they were booked for the
    entire month of April so Dixie Landings was our second choice.  Their
    more budget-minded rooms were booked so we got a garden view; that's
    fine with me.  I'm very excited about this trip; my workload this year
    has been out of this world and I DESERVE this break!

    the time and I am driving my husband crazy.  The only thing that I can 
    say is "well do they have this and I bet it is bigger then the one a 
    Disneyland.  I have had enough of this notes file, becuase it is making 
    me want to go NOW not in April NOW.  Yes I am worse than any child
    could ever be.

312.33Weekend TripPOCUS::VONROSENDAHLMon Feb 22 1993 13:5318
    Paula Von Rosendahl and daughter Brienne age 5. Meeting Grandparents
    for long weekend.
    
    I ended up getting a companion ticket for Continental and my parents
    were in Florida for the month so we agreed to meet in WDW for 2-3 days.
    Actually we will be going to Epcot, MGM and then to Universal for 1
    day.
    
    Last trip was last May so the only thing new in MGM is the Aladdin 
    parade. My parents have never seen MGM or Universal and since they
    last saw Epcot many new attractions have opened. We all have seen MK
    many times so we will skip it for this short visit.

    Why: Addicted. Left over entrance media. Can't take reality.

I may even do a trip report this time.


Decided to take the train rather than Drive. I'm hoping it will be easier to
entertain Rowena that was. I'd budgeted $240 for overnight stays and $140 for
gas. The Train is $381 - and would have been cheaper if it was not so full.
We should be a long break in DC on the way down.

312.39First Time Visit, Trans ???LJOHUB::DYERMon Apr 05 1993 18:4020
    We plan to visit in Oct, 93.  I have never been before but my husband
    has.  He drove down.  We are undecided about whether to drive, fly or
    take a train?  Would this be the right note to ask about this?
    
    Has anybody ever taken the train from Boston/Worcester?  Cost?
    Time to get there?  
    
    When:  Oct 10 for 2 weeks give or take a few days
    Where: Renting house for one week in Kissimee or staying inside WDW
           the second week.  Carribean?
    
    Who:  Who do you call to make reservations inside of WDW?  Is there
          one central reservationist?
    
          Me, Husband John, son, Patrick 4 yrs in July, my brother and
          his wife.  They will only be staying with us 1 week in the house.
    
    Any opinions are appreciated.

    Nancy - Hi!  I know someone who took the train down to Orlando, and
    they said that it took 27 hours! I don't know how much it cost, but
    they said that next time they would definately fly down.  If I remember
    correctly, it was about the same price as flying down.
    
    I think you can call 407-WDISNEY and get information about staying
    inside the part - that's the number the TV commercials advertise to get
    information.
    
    We just went last month and stayed at the Carribean Beach Resort and we
    really liked it.
    
    If you have any questions, give me a call at work (225-6322), or send
    me a note over the tube.

WHEN:	June 4-9
WHO:	David & Alexis
HOW:	US Air
WHERE:	Grand Floridian June 4-9, West Coast of Florida June 10-13
WHY:	Why not?  We have two frequent flyer tickets begging to be used 
	before June 15 and our 25th anniversary trip to Kawaii was rudely
	interrupted by hurricane Iniki.  Those seem like good excuses to 
	splurge.

	This will be the 4th trip to WDW (also did 1 to DL); but this will 
	be the first without the children!!!  They are in college and are 
	NOT happy to be left behind.  Oh well.  

	This will also be the first time not staying in FW.
	
	Probably check out the Disney vacation Club condos as long as we 
	are there.  Might even put on a suite and wander into "Casting".

NEXT:	Summer of 1995 when I am through writing college tuition payment 
	checks. It will be a two_for_the_price_of_one graduation present.

when :		August 21st - 28th

who :		me (Tracy), Norb and Marcie McKenna, their son Patrick 
	        (who will turn 15 while we're there), my cousin Jaime (15)

where :		1 night at Port Orleans, 7 nights at the The Beach Club on a
		World Vacation package

how :		driving from MA, straight through, both directions
		lots of Disney music along the way

why :		Our supervisor (Marcie's and mine) wanted to know a few months
		back what our vacation plans were for the year, so we decided
		to make some!

last trip :	For me, Marcie, and Norb, March 1992.  We went with two other
		people from work on an 8 day, 7 night World Vacation package
		and stayed in the Treehouses.  We had a blast!  It took them
		a while to convince me to do the package then, but what a way 
		to go!  (It didn't take any convincing this time.)

		Patrick was last there in June of '89 for an extended-family
		reunion -- parents, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, 
		grandparents -- 13 of them all together frolicking around 
		the World with their World Vacation cards.

		For Jaime it's been several years too -- probably three or 
		four -- since she was there with her parents and sister.
		She's never seen MGM at all and is very psyched to go.

Only 115 days to go!!!

    How?:	? dont know yet. Probably driving.
    
    This will be our first time and am looking forward to it. I liked the
    idea of the monorail going thru the Hotel so when the kids get tired

    Last Visit:  March of 1993 with my husband and son

    How:   Delta (got a really good rate since there was a
    	   fare war and we are flying down and back on Tuesdays).

    Last trips:  None.  This is our first!!

    Why:   We've never been and I think Megann is a great age for
           it and I got a nice tax refund this year to pay for it
    	   (I've been trying to plan it for 3 years but never had

312.509 days to go and a new hotel!MAGEE::GIBSONMon Jun 07 1993 12:0946
Persistence pays off!

After about 17 calls to the CRO looking for a cancellation, we managed to find
a room at Dixie Landings instead of the Beach Club for our trip. I know, the
amenities aren't as nice, but the nightly savings are substantial!

We now have a room with a king-sized bed in the Alligator Bayou section of 
Dixie Landings! We will have stayed at all three of the onsite economy hotels
and will be able to decide which is the best one for us.

Robyn, we will be at DL the same time as you and your daughter, so I will be 
on the lookout for you and try to give you a call.

    Why:   Unexpected semi-emergency trip to see in-laws in Naples. As 
           long as we're spending the airfare we might as well have some fun! 
           Tampa is a good compromise for arrival/departure and car rental 
           reasons (Value compact car for $107.99 for one week with 
           unlimited mileage!).

    PS: We originally planned to go down in October, but felt guilty taking
        the kids out of school. Plus, with only a week down there I thought
        we'd be too rushed.  After reading this notes file,  I figured we'd
        buy the annual passports  and go down for a longer period. This way
        we can take our time and the annual passports seemed to be the best
        way to go. It also seems like you  get  more  for your money in the
        summer although lines may be longer and it's hotter.

    Why: Because it'll be the first time I get to see it through the eyes
    of a little one (5 yr old) and I think that will make it different
    than the last few trips.

    		for that matter on Continental...It seemed easier because
    		we are leaving a 6:40 am and with a baby the manchester
    		airport is all of 5 minutes from our house...I just want 
    		to make sure they safe, good, and accomidating for a baby.

312.61Abrams, Sep. 9-13FPTWS1::ABRAMSDr. Frankenclinton and algoreFri Jul 16 1993 16:1927
WHO:	Bill Abrams and wife, Diane

WHEN:	Thurs Sep. 9 to Mon. Sep. 13

WHERE:	Beach Club (Pool view all sold out, had to take lagoon view)

HOW:	AA Freq. Flier Ticket for Diane, $283 round trip for me.
	AVIS rental car, $120 for four days (not bad, not good.)

WHAT:	Our 10th Anniversary on Sep. 10th.  Diane was trying to surprise
	me completely but I wore her down... WHAT are you spending your
	ENTIRE commission check on?  What do you mean it won't arrive for
	month after August?  Is it coming by mail?  Then my calendar gets
	mysteriously blocked for 9/9, 9/10, and 9/13...  Now I'm warm...
	It must be a trip!  is it... DISNEY?  "I'm never going to try
	to surprise you again!" she says.  "But the anticipation is half
	the fun" I counter lamely.  

LAST:	Went last year in September, and a whole bunch of times before that.
	Too many to count.  Can't remember my last hit, only worry about
	the next.  A true addict.

Gasp!  A mod is visiting at the same time as me?  Will I actually get to
meet a mod?  Are you still going then, Ruth?

312.62Trip UpdateNODEX::HOLMESWed Jul 28 1993 16:1850
Here's an update (from 312.45) for our trip since a lot has changed.  
Most importantly, it's only 22 days to go instead of 115!

when :		August 19th - 29th

who :		me (Tracy), Norb and Marcie McKenna, their son Patrick 
	        (who will turn 15 while we're there), my cousin Jaime (15)

where :		1 night at Quality Suites, 9 nights at the The Beach Club,
		including an 8 day, 7 night World Vacation package.  Tacking
		on the extra night at either end just seemed like the right
		thing to do!

how :		United Airlines from Boston to Orlando, non-stop, $198 RT.
		We were going to drive, but the price for the flights was right
		and we gained two extra vacation days.

		We'll have a rental car from National.  Sort of expensive, 
		but we decided that it was worth it.  $275.15 for a midsize,
		4 door car for 10 days.  This includes the 6% sales tax,
		the $2.05/day FL fee, an extra driver fee, and a AAA discount.

why :		Our supervisor (Marcie's and mine) wanted to know back in
		January what our vacation plans were for the year, so we 
		decided to make some!

last trip :	For me, Marcie, and Norb, March 1992.  We went with two other
		people from work on an 8 day, 7 night World Vacation package
		and stayed in the Treehouses.  We had a blast!  It took them
		a while to convince me to do the package then, but what a way 
		to go!  (It didn't take any convincing this time.)

		Patrick was last there in June of '89 for an extended-family
		reunion -- parents, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, 
		grandparents -- 13 of them all together.

		For Jaime it's been several years too -- probably three or 
		four -- since she was there with her parents and sister.
		She's never seen MGM at all and is very psyched to go.

We've been having lots of fun doing our planning and we have all of our 
days, meals, and shows pretty well mapped out.  Jaime and Patrick are going 
on the Wonders of the World -- Art Magic program, and we've got our 
Hoop Dee Doo Review reservations for the night of Patrick's birthday.  
Today we worked on our Rest and Relaxation time possibilities -- there's so 
much to choose from!  

We're planning to spend the day before our package starts at Universal Studios
before we check into the Beach Club.  It's the only chance to go to Universal, 
since once I enter the World, I do not leave!  Only 22 days to go!!!
312.63Party of one to OrlandoSWAM1::STERN_TOTom Stern -- Have TK, will travel!Fri Jul 30 1993 19:2228
    When:	August 30 - Sept 7
    
    who:	So far, just me.  I have friends who may try to meet me for
    		part of the trip, but mostly it'll be just me.
    
    where:	Days Suites, Orlando (It's not a wonderful place, but it is
    		 better than many of the places Digital puts me in on the 
    		 road, and it has a real kitchen).
    
    how:	America West, Burbank to Phoenix to Orlando and back.
    
    		Rental car to be determined; only definite so far is that
    		 won't be Alamo.
    
    why:	Due to the nature of my scheduling, I put in for vacation
    		 early this year, and was planning on attending the World
    		 Science Fiction Convention in San Francisco.  After
    		 hearing from some of the people who are working for the
    		 convention, I decided to cash in the 4 days left on a
    		 ticket I bought for an ex-girlfriend to come with me to
    		 last-year's WorldCon (Which was in Orlando) and the 4
    		 days of stockholders tickets.    At this point, with the
    		 airfare and admission covered, a week at Walt Disney World
    		 will be cheaper than a long weekend in San Francisco (and
    		 more fun, too)
    
    last trip:	Labor Day weekend last year (For Orlando.  For California,
    		 later today)
312.64Yet another HoneymoonAIMHI::STOLARZFri Jul 30 1993 21:5917

    Last Trip:  Me, 12 years ago for one day (when I was 10!), and 
                about 10 years ago for him for one day to Epcot.
    
    Comments:  The "Wedding" has turned into  "that thing I'm doing
               before we go to Disney.

    Island AP to work checking out the new Jazz Club later that evening.
