Heading to WDW and our favorite Dolphin on Tuesday! It's been two years since our five years in a row! We were having withdrawals! LOLOLOL. Still deciding on a ABD location for this summer!

Sounds like a full year! Are you going to the Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studio Tour outside of London? It opened after I went to London, and I'm dying to see it.

Yes - we'd like to do the Warner Brothers Harry Potter tour, so I'll need to book those tix once we figure out our exact itinerary in England.

paddles · 01-06-2013, 07:33 PM

Oh - and I'd also LOVE to do a Downton Abbey tour while in England, but my hubby isn't into it and so he wouldn't be keen on going.

BTW - I'm soooo excited for season 3 of Downton Abbey tonight!! Me + Cousin Matthew

We just got back from a Disney Cruise. The Wonder is sailing out of Miami for the first time and that is only 40 minutes from home.

In February we will be staying at AKV for a couple of days and then sailing on the Fantasy with about 20 other cruise buddies we met here on the DISboards a couple of years ago

In March we have a weekend trip planned to Universal and Islands of Adventure.

August will be our first ABD trip

We are going to Scotland!!! Can't wait! Can't wait!

WDW in September to enjoy the water parks since we took advantage of the discount DVC members were offered for the premium annual pass.

WDW in October for Food & Wine and MNSSHP.

We will probbaly wind up back in WDW again in November for more Food & Wine.

December - Headed to WDW for the annual contests DH and I have with each other during holiday season there. We will go to see the Osbourne Family Festival of Lights in DHS. Each year we go and race to see which one of us will find where the Halloween cat is hidden that year first. We also visit the gingerbread house in the GF, the gingerbread display at BW and the gingerbread carousel in BC to see which of us will find all of the hidden Mickeys first.

If any Florida resident rates come out while the Magic is in Miami then that would be a good enough excuse to take a cruise

Canceled our Oct cruise and booked Aulani for April instead!! I looked at flight prices yesterday, liked em, and booked. $323 r/t. Cannot wait for my kids to get home this evening so I can tell them

So a couple of months ago, I reported that I was going to South Africa and Botswana this year. I booked US to South Africa and back as soon as those airline tickets came out because I wanted to use my miles. I did that. Now I don't know why I waited to book SA to Bots, but I did. I didn't book until today. At six months out, I got the last two seats from SA to Bots - but I had to upgrade to business - and pay way too much for it. So not happy. But that's my fault. Lesson learned...

That's a bummer,

but Botswana is soooo worth it! We worked with an excellent TA , who is an Africa specialist. They told us that flights and camps book up a year + in advance, so it's crucial to try to get everything done by 9 mos out at the latest. Hope you've got everything else set up now and can enjoy an amazing trip!

Yipes! Glad you didn't get totally shut out! But sorry it ended up so expensive. Airfare has just been crazy this year. I can't believe how much I paid for my Greece airfare!

Agreed. Airfare to Vietnam was a bit crazy. I checked first class just for kicks since it's such a long trip and all - over $10,000 pp. I think I'll just suffer.

deckes · 03-11-2013, 03:41 PM

I know - how nice would it be to be in one of those nice beds in first class for the Vietnam flights. It would end up costing so much more than the tour though....

Nice dream, but I'd be suffering, too! As nice as it would be to not be in Economy for a long flight like that, I just can't imagine justifying that kind of cost. Ah, well. I guess that's what "Economy" class is for!
