Wish I had seen this board a couple months ago when I booked the flights and hotels for our first ever October escape from Oregon to Orlando.
My co-workers and friends were way-over my excitement and stories of planning deliberation and this would have been a perfect outlet.
We (Me and DW, DD 9, DD 7, DS 7) are doing a split between UO and WDW, OCT 18 - NOV 1.
OCT 18 - 22 - RPR at UO (Express Pass and WWHP here we come!)
OCT 22 - NOV 1 - Wyndham Bonnet Creek, with one night at Ft. Wilderness (10 day Park Hopper WPMF)
The kids are going to miss a few days of school, but in couple of years, no one is going to remember that.
No Free Dining for us, but I was able to get ADRs for CRT for 4 of the 5 of us after weeks of retrying. My wife (odd women out?) wasn't pleased. But I'll send her over to the Food and Wine Festival to make up for it.
Sorry for blabbing. Just so excited. Oh, and I picked late October because it was supposed to be a slower/low season. Yikes. It's going to be a blast anyway it works out.
Cheers...
