We are too!
Tentatively booking April 21 - May 5 - POR, Hoping for an Alligator Bayou, poolview room!
 


Oh wow April will be a busy month. Easter and the Dark Side Half!
 
We are planning for the first week of April - 3/31-4/8! Would love Poly, but realistically, it will probably be POR or AKL. :D
 


Now the wait is on for Airfare! I always book with Jetblue in July! Our room is paid for and our tickets are paid for... airfare next then food money on disney gift cards last.
 
We are booked for 4/23-4/29. Planning a trip my daughters 5th birthday. Its our first trip to WDW and were Staying at Art of Animation.

Did you get your tickets and room separately? I thought we had to wait until June when packages become available?
 
we rented dvc! but normally yes we book room only and buy tix separate. or rent dvc points and tix sep. june the packages will be ready for those who go that way
 
We got it! Dvc rental at the Boardwalk! It's an anniversary trip so hubby and I are going kidless! Bring on the long days and thrill rides!
 
How much cheaper are DVC rentals from booking directly through Disney? Do you get the same amenities?

We got ours for about half the price! It's getting a deluxe for the price of a moderate. And yes, you get all the amenities. You're the same as any other guest. This is the first time we've done it and I was really impressed with how easy it was to do.
 
Am I just being cheap, or am I too inexperienced with WDW. What's the huge difference in AoA Little Mermaid Room and a moderate resort room? The best I can tell is a moderate room will have 2 queen beds versus 2 full beds, and the hotel a sit down restaurant. Are these things worth spending 100's more per night?
 
That's pretty much the difference. To some, the themeing of the the some of the values can be tacky looking. That's mostly pop and the all stars. AoA has excellent and beautiful themeing. We stayed in a little mermaid room in Feb and would go back there in a second. It was fantastic!

Did the smaller bed bother you? And did you feel the room was too small? My husband and I are taking our 5 and 2 year old, so we don't need tons of space, but he's 6' 3" and a little concerned about the size of the bathroom and bed.
