I feel like I'm posting this on one of the deadest boards here, with no posts or updates since September 2016...but there's not really any other place it's appropriate...so I'll bring back a zombie board!
I just booked a few Disney trips in between now and Pixelmania...it took me a while to figure out my schedule for the summer and into fall, so sort of last-minute booking in the case of the June trip. Unfortunately, I had planned on going to Fort Wilderness Cabins this June, but they were all sold out by the time I got around to booking yesterday...I suspect they might be undergoing refurbs too, as they were last year - that might be taking a few loops out of contention which makes it sell out a little sooner.
Oh well - so as a last-minute DVC booking, I already knew my only options were going to be Saratoga Springs or Old Key West (indeed that was the case), so I booked a Saratoga Springs villa preferred view, request for Congress Park location for easy walking to Disney Springs, arriving June 9, and departing June 13. As summers will just be hot and humid and mostly miserable, this trip is about taking it easy, not heading out to the parks until probably 1-2pm each afternoon, staying through evenings, and seeing the new AK Pandora section and Rivers of Light show.
I also booked my September trip for Food & Wine - heading up September 15, and departing Sep 19th. For this trip, I was able to get my home resort Boardwalk - definitely preferable for Food and Wine since it's right there. Got a preferred view villa, and requested near lobby/center of resort - we'll see how that pans out.
Then Pixelmania in December...that will wrap up my 2017 Disney trips. If anyone's going to be up there during the June or September hours, and want to bump into eachother, meet up, or completely avoid me, let me know!
